Hello Raider, Glad to hear that you had a good time this Christmas. This year we had the parents in law and brother in law with girlfriend stay with us. With nine in total, there was never a dull moment. Starting on the 27th we have been dismantling the kitchen to make way for a new one. Have finished installing some of the old units and a work top in one of the basement rooms and it is coming along nicely. Lots of mess everywhere and total chaos, so nothing out of the ordinary with a family of five. I will be glad when the kitchen is delivered next monday and then finished by Wednesday evening if all goes to plan! Here's wishing you and other members a Very Happy New Year. Regards Tom

New floor, changed walls, bathroom and shower, stairs, ceramic tiles, the works. Trim and stuff left, but what a job. This year the five of us just had a quiet morning and afternoon and had a friend in for supper. Crapes and Turkey were the order of the day. Thankfully, this year none were sick and we didn't hold a familiy dysfunction! The place is a little quieter now, with one gone and two to go. Mrs and I like our life a little slower and more predictable.
raider was your trip an organised tour , who did you go with? sounds interesting. do you get help with the computer? I'm still trying to work out how a blind person adds an avatar & changes type face. A lot of sighted people have trouble with that. All the best for 2009.
Hi Raider, Fraid I fell asleep on Christmas Day. Twice! The rest of it was spent with the family, and tidying up. Wishing you a happy New Year. Regards, Diane

I just did the usual. Went to me mams, had a huge dinner, fell asleep on the settee then went round me mates house for lots of drinks.
I cooked a Goose for the first time Cooking a 3 corse meal tonight for the other half Best wishes for 2009 everyone ! Andy
Andy, Are we allowed to say that you really 'cooked your goose' this time? I hope it tastes wonderful and I wish you, your better half and all members of the forum a Happy New Year. Regards Tom
Cheers Tom it did -On Christmas day Last night was: Sweet Potatoe stuffed with Chestnut Mushrooms and Rosemary Seared Beef with wild Mushrooms and Balsamic, Creamy herd and parmesan mash and spinach. Chocolate Truffle pudding ps I love cooking I trust everyone else had a pleasant evening ?
I cooked a Goose for the first time Best wishes for 2009 everyone ! Andy I always have a goose on Christmas day once you've tried it, there is no going back. Lovely.. PS: We have a huge fore-rib of beef for today's dinner. Plenty left over for sandwiches.
For years, Crepes are the order of Christmas morning [spilling into afternoon as we all age] breakfast. A little maple syrup on them depending on the filling is wonderful. Evening meal varies between turkey, seafood or just picky bits to graze on. Mmmmmmmmm.
Been spending a lot of time with the family over christmas and am now fully qualified in all aspects of Lego-building!!!
