What's your pet hate at Christmas time?

[chloe40]

Anything at all, it may be something you really don't like or something that is said to you.

Let us know.

My pet hate at the moment is, people saying 'Are your family visiting Christmas'? no they can't!

Oh dear, I think I’ll be doing online shopping and shutting up shop until Spring, how utterly miserable.

We must find a way to lighten our load, I’m thinking 🤔….

Like Twinkly I had a lovely walk today. The sun was shining there was still frost on the ground. It was absolutely beautiful over The Heath. We live near a private airfield & there were small planes & gliders in the sky. It really was a lovely walk & the Beast (very large dog) was well behaved for once perfect.

I had a lovely cold walk at lunchtime after our 6 monthly house inspection where the housing officer was proud of me and will see us in 6 months time.

I had my sister in law with me for support as I was terrified but saw it through and proved to myself everything was fine and there was nothing to get uptight over and said at the next one I will be fine on my own!

I find things like that difficult as it brings it all back to a time when I was 14 and my father went snooping through my room without asking to find condoms as I had got myself a boyfriend and this had really cut me to the core when that happened and since then things like 6 monthly inspections bring it all back but nowadays I'm free to say yes or no to things.

My friends said that was disgusting to have done that and how that is a woman's job if anything inappropriate is suspected in a girls room!

Oh bless🤗x

[Caza]

That’s not nice. He should have been proud of you for being responsible. But no going through someone’s private stuff is a NO.

Well done with the inspection

Mine is people say to me "are you on your own again this Christmas" why ask? When they know I am!!

[chloe40 Administrator in reply to Skyp]

I can't stand music in shops,it drives me mad,especially Christmas music!!!The adverts for food and parties on TV are awful!not to mention cheesey Christmas movies !

Christmas brings back lovely memories of loved ones gone.. ..its hard.

[chloe40 Administrator in reply to Sandradsn]

I know Sandradsn

The memories are good mostly but I sometimes find they lead me to the grotty ones too sadly.

I can honestly say this is the first year I've wished it were over.
