    I know I am in a minority but once I go back to work Christmas is over for me and I had so many lovely presents, vases and ornaments and candles etc it’s so much fun to put them all out in my newly cleaned rooms. I just need to buy a lamp for the living room as without the tree lights it’s rather dark in there. 
    Excellent news about the vaccine this morning gives me real hope for a better 2021! 
    LB try to have a lazy day today if you can. Stay warm everyone! 
  • Good Morning Debs, Rubee, LB & SGL and all to follow,
    Debs Hope you have a good catch up with your colleagues at work today, safe journey, 
    Rubee hope you are both keeping warm and well, 
    LB Sorry to hear you had a rubbish nights sleep, have a nice easy day today, thanks for the quiz I’m not sure I can answer many of these on the first look through, 
    Lily Sorry to hear the news of your friends son & family, I hope they recover soon, I don’t like taking the decorations down it all looks so bare afterwards.

  • Good Morning all, I haven't visited the forum for a long while, only because work during Covid leaves me mentally exhausted each day. But I'm on holiday and thought I'd pop back for a look. It's good to see you're all still here, and that LB is still kindly posting quizzes.

  • Thank you  LB and Chive, keeping everything crossed that it's just a mild dose. Nephews girlfriend isn't too bad, seems to be improving thank you. She's extremely tired and sleeps most of the time. 
    Sun is shining here this morning, but it's very cold outside. 
    Chive, I think the same, always looks so bare and a bit sad for awhile when the decs come down 😓
    Hello Lilysilly, good to see you again 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️
