JennyMorgan Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 If so then here's an idea for Christmas day.

YnysMon Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Brr! Wouldn’t mind watching others being brave though. I can’t even swim in normal (Irish Sea) summer sea temperature nowadays...my skin just comes up in itchy red blobs. Shame, as I grew up on the coast and as a child/teen loved swimming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to go for a swim on Christmas Day back in my yoof. That's me on the left. Main excuse was to get in the pub afterwards Mind you, I wouldn't do it now!!!!! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ban it all year I say. On another note, did you know that it is only 138 days 7 hours and 57 minutes till Christmas? Better get those Christmas cards written, the Christmas tree and Christmas decorations out, the Christmas wrapping paper ready for the Christmas presents, dont forget the Turkey and trimmings for the Christmas dinner too.

PaulM Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I have a fondness for the C word! But then I’ve spent 20 years in the building trade, it’s used more often than hello! Christmas on the other hand can wait. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As if I would deliberately leave my piccie as it is just to wind anyone up...... Anyway, my avatar can't be as annoying as I am can it??? Would you prefer a Tolkein related pic? I assure you it won't be what you're expecting And you leave my sprouts alone, me little Grace will "scratch your ruddy eyes out" Just kidding Mrs H, hope you're doing well after your purchase of the best boat on the broads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
