Good morning Boxing Day

Morning friends. We have calm and blue skies. Been just the 2 of us - old films and Strickly, + Wooster DVD. I like Christmas but can't cope with the pressure of 'specialness' and 'wonderfulness'.

Yes, good wishes to you all. I've got that feverish cold that has been 'going the rounds' and I'm sure it's on its way out now - almost everyone in the family has suffered it.
Today has started quiet - it's such an anti-climax to the big day, isn't it? For once I didn't overindulge and didn't get indigestion - quite a feat.
Blimey, don't quizzes cause controversy? Many family members are really competitive. As 'quizmistress' I had no idea that the question, "Who was the 1st £30m footballer?" would cause a nephew to quibble over point nine of a million!
On a sobering note MIL passed away on Christmas Day at her nursing home. I told BIL to celebrate her life which had sadly become a burden to her - the last two years weren't much fun. It was peaceful and I asked him how he was - he's bearing up. I tried to encourage him to see it as a burden lifted for her as well as himself and his family.

Good morning. Blue sky here in N. Bucks at the moment
Lovely time yesterday wit all the family. Very silly games And too much food of course. All Off to Dd2s this afternoon for more of the same.

Oh bugger what ever happened to that post .

It should have read It seems to have stopped raining not eating. You silly tablet.

It has stopped raining here and there are blue skies. and sunshine .My car has a coating of ice . I really should have put it in garage. Have a good day.

I was using my tablet and it decided what it wanted to write.

I went to bed last night aching with tiredness. Woke up at 4.45 am and started reading. Why when I am so tired so I wake up extra early?

Well it's boxing day night here at my daughters in Australia. Relaxed day eating just salad and leftovers. So happy to spend time with their 1 yr old 12 and 7 yr old. Won't rub it in about weather here!! Happy New Year for next week everyone

Had a very nice Xmas by totally suiting ourselves. Dutifully took round selection of small presents (grandchildren all grown up & earning) in the morning then off to local (unchanged since 1970s) pub - doesn't serve food & still has curtains & carpet. Then own home for lunch - totally from Auntie Bessie apart from Tesco small frozen turkey with Bisto gravy granules. No concessions to clever chef type advice. No problems.
"That was nice" said OH. Why did I try to do anything different all those years?

Morning all!

It's bright and sunny in North Leicestershire and the dgd are downstairs eating breakfast so, for now, peace reigns!

Most people are going to the football today leaving dh and I with littlest. I think Dh is going to play 'Will She Moo or Will She Poo?' with her while I cook a turkey breast, pigs in blankets and vegetables so we can have them all cold tomorrow! The things I do!!

Enjoy your Boxing days every one.

Good morning all. I've not done much exercise or been out much since my back "went" a few days ago. Managed a lovely Christmas anyway courtesy of much help from the family, hot baths, Nurofen and heat rub, but I feel I need some fresh air so will be off for a walk/hobble today. I'm so glad we decided to tidy round and wash up last night and didn't leave the chaos for today - I would have dreaded going downstairs otherwise!

Good morning everyone. Not sure what weather is like as not drawn curtains or lifted blinds. Still a touch tired from yesterday’s festival festivities but in a good way.

Hope most people are having a good Chrisrmas and feeling sad for those who are not ?

Good morning all

Good morning from sunny Colchester. Very wet and windy last night (Not just the weather ) and now colder but bright with a heavy rain/snow warning for tonight.
Walking into town with DH and DS to see Star Wars today.

Good morning All. It seems to have stopped eating and therearsso e blue skies. My car has a coating of ice . I really should have put it in garage. Have a good day.

Morning all!

Blue sky and cooler this morning. Birds are feasting on a couple of mince pies - their Christmas present.

Off to sons today.

No idea what I’m eating today. Maybe cold turkey and ham?

Have a relaxed day one and all.

Good morning all,
Woke up to a light covering of snow on the ground here in Glasgow. Hope it doesn't get any worse, as some of my family have a fair bit of travelling to do today.
Waiting to hear if we have lunch guests today, so stuck the breadmaker on, just in case.
Enjoy your boxing day everyone. I'm off for a long soak in the bath with my Christmas smellies.

Hi good morning and happy boxing day. Actually it is late morning for me i was on here at 2am as I couldnt sleep.

Good morning one and all. DH brought me my most welcome cup of tea. All is quiet, opened the curtains and thought it was foggy, but just condensation on the windows. Smallest GS has just crept into bed with us, his parents are still asleep. How lovely to have a cuddle. But now he's off to play with his Thomas the Tank Engine train set that has taken over our sitting room.

Morning everyone.

Dull and damp here with friends in Hants. We had a quiet day yesterday just 5 adults. He cooked a lovely meal and we weren't allowed to do a thing ! Today both of their AC and families are comming plus their in-laws. So today will be the fun day.

Off to work in a min..9-5 today (serving all the people that may have run out of food)

Morning everyone
Been awake since 6.30 and creeping about the hotel bedroom trying to boil the kettle for my early morning coffee without waking OH and the dog. Ate too much yesterday and looking forward to a long walk today, now that its stopped raining. Didn't receive any chocolates this year but OH has been plundering the box of Cadbury's Roses on the reception desk and I've had two with my coffee. Strict diet coming up! Have a good day.

Good Boxing Day Morning fellow netties. So enjoy that first cup of take just for yourself eases you into the day.
Just recently retired, still waking early and trying to find new rhythm. How long did it take others to 'sort themselves out'?

Good morning Boxing day, it is a lot cooler and has been raining.
Yesterday was a long day but we all survived, and we will do it again today but without the mountain of food.

Morning All. Dark and damp in our corner of Somerset. A little bit of baking today for a family get together tomorrow otherwise a quiet day giving the digestion a rest. If the weather brightens we’ll be joining in with a walk. Hope all those feeling unwell are feeling bery much better very soon.

Morning All

Very windy last night and decidedly chilly when I came downstairs earlier woken by a blinding headache. The pills are starting to work now so hopefully I’ll be fine by the time DS and family arrive later. We’re planning a nice bracing walk so it’ll finish blowing the cobwebs away and the overindulging yesterday. That’ll teach me!

I hope your DH recovers soon Gaga and doesn’t share his germs too generously.

Hope everyone has a gentle start to the day. It's a cool and grey start in North London. Have crept downstairs in search of tea and to let the dog out. OH watching the test match in bed and its the best part of the day as neither of us has to go anywhere today.
