I'm glad to see you Norah dear, back from your warm holiday Just in time for the Christmas fun even if we haven't got much sun Kaleidoscopes - now you never see them! were favourite gifts from way back when Likely kids wouldn't think much today if you gave them one - they'd throw it away Many things like that we often received and probably always very pleased Now it has to be ''techie'' to bring pleasure to fill the increasing hours of leisure

Hello, hello anyone there hope your all ok do take care

Err can I come in and say Hello am back from Malta don't you know For goodness sake its blooming cold here yesterday 70 in the shade drinking my beer Great to see you have been busy Christmas shopping all in a tizzy

Very pleased to read your advice Dorothy G. Its what my OH said to me! Well, he says gift vouchers look as if you didn't think Whereas a personal thought puts people in the pink! Xtra hard to to get the balance right. I could whittle and worry all the night. Yesterday I bought my neice a gift, Expensive bath oils to give her a lift. Z, well this is the last letter. Shall I finish here, would I feel much better? And later on my sister rang To give me a list, (it went down with a bang!!!) Buy the children gift vouchers she said straight away Just the thing to wreck my day!! Can I still give my neice the present I bought. Or buy a gift voucher, as I think I ought! Do I buy her other children a voucher now? Signing out here with a defeated bow!

Killjoy things I think tokens are so Chrispy please don't go that far Little things that are a surprise are best something that's a treat will pass the test My lifelong friends who live nearby are the sort of people for whom I don't know what to buy Now I get one or two luxury things that happiness to them it brings Otherwise I wouldn't know what to do I can't compete with their spending, so Presents are unusual, and they show that I've thought about them and they know Quite how much they mean to me without embarrasing them or me

Goodness Dorothy, I must agree What can I buy people, what could it be. Have ideas then I scrap them all. Will I finish that shopping at all? I never know whether to ask for ideas Or buy a surprise that might end in tears. Just buying a gift voucher may be best Shall I put it to the test.?

And here we are another new day one step closer to the Christmas Holiday But lots of pressies I have yet to get got some catching up to do before I forget Christmas seems to come round faster every year, time to send cards to those far and near Don't know what to buy that's my problem to get a surprise gift for them and them Each idea gets abandoned as I find that they bought it - now thats a bind! For goodness sake, what do I do? how does this all affect you?

Sounds like Chrispy you've spied on me cos have only just poured a small Brandy! That is weird I have to say cos I only drink Brandy on Holiday Unless I'm really cold, as I was today! But the house looks good I'm glad to say Very hesitant I was to have all this done, but am really pleased and now it is Wonderful to have the house really warm ready for the worst of the weather yet to come

Quickly Dorothy have a brandy. For apres double glazing it comes in handy. Reached 809 rhymes on this thread The success may go to our Ron's head!

My goodness another day gone by where have I been do you ask why? Now double-glazing has been happening here f-r-e-e-zing cold its been - and couldn't get near Our pcs to add a line, because of fitters so very cold that I got the jitters!! Plugged in again now I'm glad to say and the fitters are only here for one more day!

808 and at the gate Where to hang the holly wreath? Frozen fingers........ using teeth There!.... it's lovely......... spruce and holly Add a ribbon............. looks so jolly! Hope the robbers stay away and leave the wreath til Christmas Day!

Baubles, you make me grin, you do. I'm off to do the same as you ( - : Counting lines is fine by me but we're 'spose to remember our ABC. Delighted to see so many new rhymers, seven- nine- one is from this old timer.

Before the night is o'er and done I thought I'd join in with the fun And try and keep this thread alive, I think this line is 785; I hope some more will follow on And do their best for Hampshire Ron, It's great to put things down in rhyme I love to do it all the time.

Xmas will soon be here Hope it will bring you all good cheer. You may be more organised than me Buying presents and ordering your tree. Zealous people will have made pies and cakes. The sort of people who have what it takes. Alas, I cannot claim to be one of those as I scurry around wondering where time goes. But here I am adding my nightly rhymes Cannot manage without reading your lines Counted rhymes up to 785, Hope this means it will revive. Did lots of gardening today. Hope the sunshine won't fade away.
