A 'Rough & Tumble' Christmas...

Three healthy daughters arrived home for Christmas.

So far we're sending one back with a Killer Cold,
another has broken a toe,
the third is as yet undamaged....but there's still time.

It'll be a Christmas we remember, that's for sure.

It's too late for us, but here's hoping the rest of you have a safe and healthy holiday!!

Hope one quickly cures the cold, one quickly heals and the last can remain problem free!

Lenny - I resemble that remark!



Last week while off skiing in the Daks I took a roll, heard a pop and messed up a perfectly good collar bone. Now I spend xmas in a sling waiting the requesit 6 weeks. Oh well - at least the rest of the fam is in good shape. Hope the girls heal up soon and you and the misses stay healthy

I'd send the family back and hope to get a refund


So it looks as though you have a christmas of a few years ago. All those tears and moments expectation that have gone wrong. The toys that fall apart as soon as you have found out they work- but find the faults in them.

I feel lucky this year. Just off to my grand daughters for the day. They are having an open house for people to drop in all day long and the car is packed with the food- the beer- the wine and the pressies. No set Christmas day as it is going to be a running buffet all day long. Car is so full- I will be walking the dog round (Can't put him in the car with all those sqeeky toys and meat)

So hope you have a merry christmas- despite your problems- and just remember that a bottle of Cognac will ease all your troubles.
