well just got the xmas tree down out of the garage loft, sad isn,t it. Three weeks to to go before the pubs shut for a day, not looking forward to it. A whole day with out having a draught pint. I'm supposed to put up decorations knowing this day looms on the horizon. Really dreading sitting thro' two episodes of emerdale etc. There should be Christmas's one for women and kids the other for men.And women that want to join in! Kids barred. Bah humbug! :y

Stuff is going up here tuesday  :y

Oh Good on you mate :y what a great idea! The stuff i've seen thrown away is criminal! and I don't mean exclusively 'used' goods either! Well done you! We've (me & SWMBOrich) have just donated our dining room suite to the local hospice rather than sell it for the obligatory pittance on ebygum, and now you've just given me another great idea! :y Happy Christmas & all that to You & Yours, and did you see my salutations for your forthcoming personal MOT? ;D ;D ;D :y
