I had a lovely Christmas day with my daughter and her family, and returned home late teatime with the expectation of watching 'Call the Midwife' and 'Downton Abbey' with feet up, and a glass of sherry and chocs to hand.
I should have known what would happen, 'cos it happens every evening - even at Christmas! The phone rang - and rang again. Why do my friends/acquaintances/colleagues think that my evenings should be devoted to listening to their gripes and problems, not just occasionally, but every bl***y night of the week, and especially when there's summat good on't telly?
I know I should be grateful that I have friends who feel they can turn to me with their troubles, but I can't help being a teensy weensy bit cheesed off with their lack of consideration at holiday times.
I'm sure I could stop this happening if I had the courage for confrontations, but I don't, so I thought I'd have a good old gripe on Gransnet and get it off my chest!
Thanks folks - I feel much better now. A very Merry Christmas to you all. 
Do you think you know when you are going to die?
By special request, let’s discuss our favourite Classic Music and why?
