I spent this morning baking mice pies, pineapple fruit cake and some sausage rolls and cheese and onion pasty’s now the house smells like Christmas nutmeg and cinnamon. While I was working I was thinking about some of the members on the forum and the year that as unfolded for us. Those that had operations cancelled appointments cancelled follow up scans not done. It’s been a terrible year, people have lost loved ones to this awful virus.
I just want to wish each and every one of you a very Happy Christmas and the wish that 2021 brings with it that this virus will be beaten and we can start to live our lives again, that we can see our family to give our grandchildren a cuddle.
One last thing thank you for your support for the smiles you have given me and the knowledge you impart.
Very best wishes Pauline

Pauline - all that cooking and baking sounds lovely -I'm doing it the cheat's way (waiting for a food delivery in about an hours time!)Merry Christmas to you and let's hope that 2021 is a better year.
Had my delivery yesterday, somethings missing but nothing vital 😂 I enjoyed my morning, tired though now. Getting old is the pits at one time would have baked all morning and kept going into the afternoon those days long gone, never mind I am still here😉
Merry Christmas to you and your family Pauline. Thank you for your help and good advice.
Oh that sounds lovely, have never made sourdough bread though I do love the taste, received a lovely selection of cheeses and chutneys from our son yesterday, do you think we could do a swop😂 like you love making pastry, my mother was a pastry chef and she always use to say to make good pastry you need cold hands, my hands were always cold since my op I tend to be always on the warm side 😂
Pauline I can smell all that lovely food being baked, sounds wonderful 😌, did I tell you I’m an orphan, maybe you could adopt me🥺😂, have a lovely peaceful Christmas 🎄 Val xxx
You would be very welcome if we could only get together, Christmas will certainly be different but a necessity that we have to get through, I was thinking maybe FaceTime and zoom will crash with us all trying to get together with our families.😂
Hope everyone can manage to have a nice time; put the cares of theworld away for a day. I shouldn't moan because I get to see my son at last but haven't even started on mince pies and such yet and just an hour ago my glasses broke so I now can't see to do anything except from 7 inches away with my reading glasses and while trying to cannibalise my spares, husband managed to lose the screw so now I have neither pair. They are the ones i wear all day long. . Going to have to face the town centre tomorrow to the opticians. I do NOT want to go into town. Thankfully my grocery shop arrived today without a single substitution. I was worried about stock levels.
Reading your post I didn’t know wether to laugh or cry, it always happens right when we don’t want it to at the worst possible time. Take good care going into your town tomorrow.Had my delivery yesterday, 2 items missing 3 substituted. Thankfully nothing vital. Glad you got everything you ordered.
Have a great visit with your son, enjoy every moment.
My only sub was a tin of heinz tomato soup LOL. My initial reaction was to scream. Next was to find blu tack to hold my glasses together. The opticians have offered to come to my car on a side street to collect htem tos ave me having to get through town. I just haven't got the time to trail into town. Apart from optician I just haven't been in the town centre for about 3 years. Cobblestoned pedestrian areas don't go with mobility scooters
I suddenly found the pair I used right before the ones that broke and can manage with those until after Christmas and this avoid the traffic and crowds
You are very welcome, we are a happy band of Hearties and try to help each other where we can, going through a heart event is very scary, but everyone needs to know there is life after. It may be a wee bit different we now watch our diet and try to exercise. We now take lots of tablets to keep our mended heart healthy but our lives continue.
I wish you a very happy Christmas and as been said the wish for a much better 2021.
How are you have missed your posts over the past few days, hope your getting over your flare up, you have been in my mind.
I thought I would do some baking, don’t do much now a days but it was nice and the house smelt like Christmas.
Woke up to a hard frost this morning, heard Aberdeen as some snow hope your ok.
I send you best wishes for a very happy Christmas, hope you get to speak with your family think lots will be using the internet tomorrow 😩 spoke with Craig (Australia) this morning, sorting out times for tomorrow so will have my fingers crossed. It was 41 degrees when I was talking to him that was 3pm for him😂
So sorry you are going through such a hard time, taking it quietly sounds good A little white lie can be forgiven if it saves family worrying. I am sure Skype will be up and working very soon.😉Have a good day tomorrow.
