I told you,  You should have gone to Specsavers

I received an email a few weeks ago (11th November) stating that FFC could be used to book future cruises.

Thats me born in the era the thalidemoid scandal was coming to light, my mother decided against having me and my sisters vaccinated for anything. Consequently as a child I had a lot of time off school with all the usual culprits, measles, chicken pox, mumps etc, i eventually chose to have the Rubella jab myself at senior school, now if theres a covid vaccine and it means i can go on a cruise again i'm having it, still waiting to be called for my flu jab Lol

The only childhood illnesses I have had are Rubella, three times and chickenpox.  My brothers had mumps and measles, but I didn't catch it. After having had Rubella, I had test with each pregancy saying I was immune to it, but still caught it again twice!

We have started to prepare for Chistmas by going to the wine warehouse this morning to stock up,.  The only problem was that as usual we bought far more than we should.  Now we will have to drink some of it before Christmas.  The Christmas trip to the wine warehouse is far more important than conforming with our neighbours and putting up the lights outside 😇😇

I stocked up in Tesco 25% of six bottles or more, then 15% off again! 

Sometimes all we need is a hug

Who's out there?

Brian beautiful photos of snow capped mountains, I love snow and lots of it , have a good drive tomorrow is it your last leg , will you be in the uk ? 
 

Ive been very busy today because my beach hut got broken into last night and they made themselves very comfy for the night drinking my champagne and wine and eating crisps and biscuits and smoking!!!  It was a complete mess this morning and stunk to high heaven we had to completely empty it t9 bring everything home to wash and sterilise, funny thing was nothing was stolen except wet wipes, they could of took the binoculars, radio, blue tooth speaker, night lights etc but no , they actually left a leather back pack with phone charger in and a set of house keys and a few other dirty bits 😡😡 so now it’s all doubled pad locked and empty.

Sorry to hear you had "visitors" at you beach hut, but luckily nothing was taken. 

As they left items there it makes me wonder if they were planning to come back. I hope not.

We intend to have the vaccine when it is available to us. Hubby is 78, so is fairly high up the list, whereas I'm nearer the bottom at 63.  My four of my children are more likely to get it before me.

Just heard some devastating news about a 33 year old local lad, (Michelle's hairdressers brother) who was fit and healthy and was Europe's 5th strongest man in 2018, who became ill with Covid 11 days ago and has now died... 

He seemingly followed all the guidelines like the rest of us. 

For all the doubters... I hope you never have to deal with what his family and 12 year old son are going through now...

Very sad and devestating for his family.  It shows that it can affect anyone and I wish people would take it more seriously.

I too prefer Death in Paradise over Strictly

Well, you live and learn!!!

Stand in line and be counted

On the topic of Royal Mail, I've just had a heck of a shock this morning. I've opened a letter addressed to my  mum from an insurance company with her annual statement for 2019. Mum died in 1993!!!

How about this?  

Back in April I received a letter from the hospital telling me my last MRI result was satisfactory - for a scan I hadn't yet had!

Rang the hospital and told them I hadn't had my annual scan, I was still waiting for it.

Morning to you all. 

Cloudy and dull down here, but a lest it's dry and not windy.

I've too been up a while had my morning coffee and all geared up a day of bakin to ahead for Christmas.

Wow that is a tough birthday. I always feel sorry for people with Christmas birthdays. As I said November had no sign of Christmas when I was younger. Last year I got a gift card for a friend with  a November birthday and all the pictures on them were Christmassy!! I said to her ‘some of us have birthdays too you know!’ 

My eldest daughter is 23rd December. Our family has five birthdays in December, so have got into the habit of getting cards, etc early.

Who says internet shopping is less stressful than going to the shops?! I’m not ordering anything for a while 😆 but at least I’ve started the dreaded Christmas shopping.

My daughter and her partner have stress free internet shopping sussed - they have it delivered to us!!

These boot's weren't made for walking!!

What’s this with chicken soup? Lucozade was the magic cure for every illness. Big bottle covered in orange plastic film with gold foil covering the cap. 

We didn't get either. To start with I don't like chicken soup. We used get weak orange squash made with boiled water and glucose when sick.

My daughter's covid results came back negative, so that's a huge relief. This second lockdown isn't doing her mental health much good though. We managed to get her through the first one, but this time feels like it will be more difficult.  When will this damn thing end??

Avril

Good news about your daughter's result, Avril.

Glad to hear you're feeling a little better Graham. Take care and as others have said get plenty of rest.

Welcome to the forum. I am sure you will enjoy your cruise. I am sure you will find you are addicted.

I haven't travelled on my own but I have sailed on Britannia several times, and others have said the balconies are a bit small, but provide you with a place of your own for a bit of peace and quiet if you want it.

Thank you Presto, I have spoken to her this morning and her husband feels a bit better today and she just feels worn out with the stress.

Glad to hear he is feeling a bit better and fingers crossed she doesn't catch it. 

My daughter also has just recieved treatment so her immune system is also conpromised so she's staying off work, so can relate to your niece.
