    I don't finish till 2 pm on the 23rd but then I'm off till the 5th Jan.

    Wazzakins is not off till the 31st Dec so I will be on my lonesome.:cool:
    I have plans to get lots done but we will see if the TV and a bottle of wine:yho: win or the greenhouse and garden and the other work win.

    Mother is away abroad so I don't have to worry over her.:thumb:

    As long as our neighbour's cat Billiy k-lcomes over and spends a bit of time with me, I shall be happy, it is either that or I call the local fire-brigade from down the road:luv: if i get bored

    All went well :thumb:...and no old scores settled either!...Once the drink gets a hold someone usually gets gobby but not yesterday, so not much in the way of entertainment:lollol:
    bobj I had to use 7 of my 11 holidays I had left:doh:...not fair I think!

    Lolli,I really wish we had youngsters here for Xmas:(...Such fond memories of ours and the fun we all had....Oh and the bickering too:hehe:

    Sad when family has to work over the festive break isn't it?...I hope we all give a happy thought for those that do as we enjoy the time:gnthb:

    Finally..
    I have a chance to thank all those folks that are working over the holiday period.
    Whatever it is you are doing Im sure it it worthwhile.
    I know the feeling well, before I retired I worked and was on call for seven years on the trot for some period over the holidays.
    Did anybody thank me for supplying good wholesome water to a few million people in Yorkshire?... No... just another days work for me.
    So. once agian, my thanks to all those who are working over the holiday period especially those in our emergency services we hope we never have to call on.

    Well said Robert.

    I'm not off work until Christmas Eve either and back again on 2nd January. OH is probably working between Christmas and New Year, but I plan to get out in the garden, building a raised bed next to the patio. That's the plan anyway....

    Might even get up to the pub at lunch-time. Whatever you're doing guys, have a great Xmas and New Year:)

    We can worry about the "Credit Crunch, after we've enjoyed ourselves.:D
