Happy Christmas to ALL :-)

[CarolineLondon]

Hello

Well I have no chimney and so no fat barstuard stuck up it ,which would have been hillarious, ah well we live in hope.

Hope you are all okay and Im sending out lots of Hugs and Love.

I have no decorations and no presents....hoorah, Im doing a sterling job of ignoring Christmas. I got two books out of the library and a jigsaw from the charity shop....loooove jigsaws.

I have very kindly been invited to Christmas dinner lately, so I know how lucky I am, I hope you all get to spoil yourself in some way today.

My focus is on next year and a fresh start I am greatful for a chance to try again at life and for being waterproof, imagine if your skin wasn't waterproof what a nightmare...lol.

Anyway I know this isnt quite the place but if you feel like sharing the good stuff please do

Hi Caroline well done for being such a successful bah humbug. That's great. How great you were invited out for Christmas lunch. The worst of it is over now until next year thank goodness.

My Christmas was ok. I went to the pub first but only one of my friends was in unlike last year when loads were in and I had a great time. I then went to my sisters bf for dinner. There were only the 3 of us but it was better than being on my own. Was pleased to get back home though. I don't really do Christmas same as you Hope you are ok love.

Hiya

So pleased you were alone, I did thnk of you Bev. Yes all over now can sail into 2015 soon with new plans and ideas and gusto. I often think of the Fall and Rise of Reggie Perrin....love that show, how I dream of having my own successful grott shop with no wheel bicycles and buckets with holes in....lol ...genuis

BIG KISS and a HUG, you're a TOP gal Bev and always make me smile XX

[Photogeek in reply to CarolineLondon]

Oh Carolin I loved The Rise and fall of Reggie..... Remember it was

Based on John Stonehouse! Now that's a blast from the past. Do you remember

Hugs story and his wife?

Hannah xx

[CarolineLondon in reply to Photogeek]

It was based on whooosey whatsy whats that now? Ive never heard of John Stonehouse, and whose Hugs? That's why I love you Hannah because you enrich my life. Are you saying there was a real Reggie Perrin! How fantastic. I could look it up but would rather hear it from you please.

Thanks Hannah xx

John Thomson Stonehouse was a British Labour Party politician and junior minister under Harold Wilson. Stonehouse is perhaps best remembered for his unsuccessful attempt at faking his own death in 1974. Wikipedia

[CarolineLondon in reply to Photogeek]

Im in Hannah, my family are all behaving like arses, Im going to fake my own death!

Now how about Bev gets the gold dress, Gemma and Sue can be the maids who die with me and you can fetch the fake poison and we can do a fake Cleopatra on Richmond High Street. Come on what would be more natural and believable than that! Taking your clothes off on the beach is sooo yesterday...lol.

Sometimes I feel I owe my continued insanity to you lot, thank God for that, if I became sane life would merely be grey and boring...lol.

Now maybe we should have a song? Any suggestions.

[Hidden in reply to CarolineLondon]

How about La la la la la la la etc. We could all then live in La la Land. Lovely

Oh you made me remember about gold dresses now...I remember going to London at 13 to see the Monkees in concert. I had a lovely dress - all gold with big bell sleeves. I thought I was the bees knees - sigh.... That was *%$ years ago!

I looove the Monkeys I have a tune of theirs in my car and I sing it at the top of my voice, its called 'Goin Down' do you know it? and I quote:

Floatin' down the river

With a saturated liver

And I wish I could forgive her

But I do believe she meant it

When she told me to forget it

And I bet she will regret it

When they find me in the morning wet and drowned

And the word gets 'round.

Goin' down. Goin' down.

So what you're saying is YOU should be Cleopatra Bev? But I had first dibs tsk

[Photogeek in reply to CarolineLondon]

Always look on the bright side. Tra la tra la.

Or " Hotel California " or Silent Night

[CarolineLondon in reply to Photogeek]

Ah Ha I see the maddness is catching! Up the Revolution Hannah xx

[Hidden in reply to Photogeek]

[CarolineLondon in reply to Hidden]

[Hidden in reply to CarolineLondon]

The John Stonehouse thing back in 1974. Oh dear well my grandparents told me about it then I am not enough to remember it after all..... xx

[Hidden in reply to CarolineLondon]

Ha ha ha Caroline ditto Actually I am going to lose a few brownie points now as can't stand Reggie Perrin - I thought it was too pompous and over rehearsed humour which isn't funny at all (well to me anyway). Sorry! Love Monty Python though Other than that I don't like most comedy so must be a miserable git...

[CarolineLondon in reply to Hidden]
