I might even buy cake in Roy's to go with a nice cup of coffee ... or a glass of wine ... unless Jay prefers mince pies!! Your company alone would be more than enough if you popped over for a drink Jean, although a mince pie is more festive than cake, unless it Christmas Cake 16 hours ago, Katiew said: Can you imagine how good the mince pies might be....I’ve not tried those yet? Well you'll have to pop over for a drink too then won't you, wear some tinsel Quote I’m not usually around in the winter months because of leave from work, but this year it looks far more likely Ooh great stuff for you. How come it's looking more likely this year? I might well see you around then, I'm planning on being pretty much residential over the winter 6 hours ago, SwanR said: Whatever it holds it’s 3 months today!!

I do love a good pom-pom though.....if I promise to ensure Christmas colours with fur trim and Pom poms will that suffice? You just go easy talking about your fur trim and pop poms. As lovely as they are I am sure, even if I wouldnt know about that, you wouldn't want to go getting me all excited now would you 2 hours ago, Katiew said: Oh I’ve no doubt I’ll see you, probably from quite far away. You’ll be the one with your wired in Christmas lights giving off around a million candle power struggling to get into your mooring won’t you? No idea what you could mean, I know exactly which spot is mine and wouldn't dream of mooring in my neighbours by accident Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 this will make jay happy, one of my work colleagues approached me yesterday, as most of us are currently working from home she has decided that we need to inject some christmas cheer, we all connect with each other via ms teams, so she has decided (and I reluctantly got roped in) that we will do a little teams meeting for everyones children, Santa and his helper, apparently I am the best candidate for the cheery man, so she will get me a costume and we will use the backgrounds feature in teams to add a suitable background, and do an hour long teams meeting - oh what have i let myself in for.. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its more usual to have something a little more formal? I’llkeep it festive themed of course...jingle bell earrings, Christmas stockings...... ...and just for the sake of your heart rate, a great big Santa suit. Seems my heart rate will remain in the low 40's then. I can see I'm getting nowhere here, I can take a hint...I'll go find another Christmas Cracker, one that I can manage to pull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a very good point, and I have no idea what Katiew is implying, sounds a tad jealous though So Katiew, how is mistletoe going to work with social distancing and will you be missing out on the Christmas kisses this year? What exactly makes a face mask pretty Mrs SR?? Regardless, the pretty face mask will look ruddy awful once it's on my mug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I'm allergic to mistletoe. Fortunately, I've needed needed it anyway, so when Jean pop's round all we need to work out is the distancing part Quote And given I haven’t required any mistletoe to have amazing kisses with my lovely man so far, I think I’m going to be ok for Christmas kisses with him too thanks! I bet he can't wait, and what a lucky "lovely man". I'm sure he knows how lucky he is too Quote How are you going to get on in one of those masks though???? Dunno, I'll have to find out won't I I'll be sure you're the first one to know though when I do.....purely as you're so interested in how I am going to manage of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea14Ian Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 In the words of a very famous man " I have a dream". Sadly not sure it will come true,but let's hope.That is,that we get over this dreadful disease and start to be free again.No more test and trace.No more masks constant hand sanitizing/ hand washing. Fall employment .A visit to a football match.Meeting up with long list friends, that may be more then six.No that's to much to ask for. The last normal holiday this year was New years day.Since then all bank Holidays or breaks have had many restrictions placed upon them.If we ALL stick to the rules, we can perhaps beat this,but if we ignore rules placed upon us,sadly normal will be this living hell for years to come.I want normal,I am one of perhaps thousands, more so then those affected by Covad that have perhaps a life threatening illness and I want CHRISTMAS, Easter a a life clear of illness,or is that to much to ask for. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea14Ian Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 I get that twenty, thirty and maybe forty year olds want a good time.I don't blame them for that.However if we are to beat this we must ALL make sacrifices .I can't say for sure,but when I was working my health was better Since lockdown it's gone downhill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 We have no option but to toe the line, at least for this Christmas. How I wish it could be otherwise, especially for those for whom it is likely to be their last Christmas on this earth. I saw my first great grandchild today, a placid, good natured, lovable little man. I doubt that I will be able to see him over Christmas. His father is an IT technician in a local school. quite likely that he'll be in lockdown by Christmas. We shall just have to wait & see. The mum of two of my other grandchildren is an administering pharmacist on the Covid ward of a local hospital, she too could be in lockdown by Christmas. My wife and I are both vulnerable so won't be taking any risks. Hey Ho, that is how it is, thankfully we still have each other. We consider ourselves lucky. How folk on their own will cope I dread to think. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
