Good morning LB. I am thankful too for my friends and all the interesting posts you’ve made and how we’ve supported each other through our experiences. Wishing you a good day whatever you do.
Good morning everyone. Poor ratty ,Pansy .Good that she was helped out of her predicament. Gordon Buchanan’s lovely programme was a pleasure to watch . must put the kettle on .
Morning🙂 Some nice thoughts on here today and I’ll join in by thanking you all for being such good friends over this last year.
Is anybody doing anything for New Year’s Eve / Hogmanay? Joyce is off to a friend’s isn’t she? OH is at work and won’t be home until after 6. I think we’re going to have a SM Chinese and try to stay up to watch a bit of Jools Holland.
I’ve never celebrated New Year so won’t start now. In the early days of marriage we were invited to some (new to me) friends’ for a ‘Black Tie’ dinner (you know how much I HATE dressing up...). She spent the whole evening in tears because NY makes her sad 😬 and he spent the whole evening overcompensating. Nobody else there we knew. Everyone invited to stay over in their big house so we could all have a drink. We ended up with a blanket on the floor. Never again...
Need to go to SM this morning. Might also have a brief look in a couple of sales. Starting to stress about what I’m going to wear to this funeral on Friday. Bright colours have been requested and I don’t really have a suitably smart top...
Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down
Topbird it’s difficultto try not to stress about Friday but I’m sure you’ll pick out something you feel comfortable in, perhaps add the colour with a scarf. Good morning Hazel unfortunately knitting has not proved tobemything but I’m sure yours looks lovely. I’m sure the baby blanket will be gratefully received.
Good morning all, may I just say a big thank you to you all for your support through a very difficult 2019. Sometimes just reading your funny stories or comments on your life put a smile on my face when nothing else could. You are a lovely lot and an inspiration.
Out tonight for a Great Gatsby party so got a gorgeous rose pink flapper dress and accessories. Hubby home so he too has an appropriate outfit including an inflatable tommy gun!
Having a lazy New Years Eve as it will be a late one tonight.
A very good morning to one and all. It nice to hear that some of the young 'uns are staying up to see in the New Year. Of course you are incuded there too Joyce. I'm afraid that I would just not be able to keep my eyes open and to me, every day is a New Year's Day. Debs, love the idea of you in a pink flapper dress and your OH being Al Capone or similar. I've been out to the sales at my nearest GC. I always go at this time of year as they reduce ALL their Christmas stuff by 50%. Many bargains to be bought there. I was saddened to see that their house plant section had obviously suffered in the cold overnight temperatures and many plants looked beyond redemption. I had to stuff my hands in my pockets as I walked passed some sad looking orchids. There is always next year!
Cacoethes: An irresistible urge to do something inadvisable
I will be in bed reading when the clock strikes midnight.I used to stay up when Scottish parties were televised . They were worth staying up for . The songs , dancing and poetry were my kind of thing .

I concur with the sentiments expressed having enjoyed friendship and received support over the years. Much valued.
Poor ratty being humiliated over his flab.
