New Years Day

Good Morning and Happy New Year to you all

Cold and frosty start to 2010!!!
Having a Roast Beef dinner today with all the trimmings.
I had good intentions of stopping up to see in the New Year, but by 11.00 I was dropping off. So had to go to bed.
Know I have wished you a Happy New Year, but also want to say more importantly a Healthy New Year to you all. Thank you all for your support over this past 6 months, it has meant a lot to us.

Have a lovely day, take care xxx

Good morning Karen and all who follow, Happy new year to you all too. We all stayed up to let the New year in and how we got by with nothing worth watching on tv i dont know but it went quick. I hope too that 2010 will be a good year for all my lovely crafty friends. Big hugs to any poorlies. We are havinbg duck for dinner with all the trimmings and a selection of little cakes curtisy of iceland .

Good morning Karen and Andrea and all those that follow.
Happy New Year to you all, managed to stay awake this time, watched Jools Holland on beeb 2 he took me through till 1:15
Off down Mum and Dads today with Jake she didn't fancy a roast so I'm going to raid her huge freezer and rustle something together for us all. But the duck and beef sound yummy

Have a great start to the New Year and hope it's a good one for all of us

Di... I reckon if you got your running shoes on you could make Nottinghamshire by lunchtime for the beef and the duck for tea time!!!
Have a good day with your mum and dad xx

Karen, run after what I've tucked away this Christmas Don't think I could run to the end of the road let alone Nottinghamshire
Must get back to fat club this year, fresh start again

Good morning ladies and a Happy New Year to you all

Sorry Di just laughing at the thought of you running to Notts, but if you can run to the end of your road you probably can run further than me, you run down and I will run up its closer

Just chillling and doing nothing today so have a good day whatever your doing and take care xXx

Good morning all Didn't get to bed until 2.00am this morning Had Ian & Ruth round and Ruth's parents and played a few silly games - mainly Pass the Bomb - Ian & Ruth love that game but her Mum had a bit of a problem getting the hang of it, luckily I was sat next to her and the bomb always went off before it got to me so I won It was hilarious. I did think it was a bit insensitive when we played it Christmas Day with Greg there too thought he might pull the fuse off. Haven't a clue what we are having for dinner today, just feel stuffed to the brim, a nice healthy salad should be in order but bit cold for that Not planning on doing anything today but the weather is gorgeous out there (but cold and frosty) so might suggest a walk Enjoy yourselves whatever you are doing and thank you all for being a friend

Stayed up and saw the new year in and have only just got up! Given Clive a close crop ready for our holiday. There's not much hair left now so he'll need his woolly hat till we go.

Shared the good news with friends in Oz - their new granddaughter was born at 10.30 this morning (she's now over 12 hours old because of the time difference!)

Bright sunshine and a sprinkling of snow here - so another day in the warm for us. Had a nice roast turkey dinner for lunch yesterday with all the trimmings and have just put a ham on for tonight. We're having spag bol for lunch. I made a huge pot of mince yesterday so, after adding beans and chilli to 1/3 we had it with rice last night, spag-bol with extra mushrooms soon, and another portion to turn into cottage pie for tomorrow.

Have a great day all and a very happy New Year

Good afternoon all nad a Happy New Year to you all,

This forum means alot to me as I came here after a bad experience on another BIG forum..... thanks Jan for inviting me and letting me know about the lovely forum here.... it restored my faith in craft forums

I hope 2010 is a brilliant year for you all and I thank you all for your friendship support and words of wisdom, oh and the fits of giggles that regularly escape me whilst I am reading other peeps exploits!! LOL

2009 was a bit of an up and down year for me, but am hoping that with the possibility of surgery this year the future year is looking easier!

Hope you all had a nice time last night, ort rather those who managed to prop open those eyelids long enough to see in the New Year. We had a house full last night till about 2am this morning when I was literally falling asleep! My mum spotted me dozing in the corner and she ushered em all out LOL! Bless her! We had my mum and dad, Ady's mum and Bro, my sister, my niece, 2 of their friends (i accept strays you see!) and that made overnearly 20 in all in my house, drinking copiously I must admit LOL!!! I think I was the only sober one (as well of the kids of course!)
They Wii'd till the early hours, the kids and adults alike, I now have to buty a new Wii game Just Dance it is called, it is brilliant and will help the kids get fitter without a doubt.

Shell and Nige and kids have gone home this morning, we had a blast and I was sorry to see them go..... will have to get saving for car hire and B & B hire for the near future methinks!

Glad you had a good time Lou , done loads of cleaning up jobs today , now not sure if thats a good or bad way to start the new year ! forgot to tell ya all disarster struck yesturday the tears , shouting ,drama , anger etc all from Dulcie cos her ipod has frozen ! Any one would think that the way she was carrying on I had personally broke it ..... BUT have to say nice to have a conversation without shouting at her cos she can't hear cos of i pod ! speak later xx

Awww blimey... a knackered IPOD.... disaster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gawd help ya hun!!!

Lexie...Amy here ;D I have an iPod, and mine does this all the time, the next time it freezes, hold down the menu button and the pause/play button (looks like this ||>) for 5 seconds, then it will reset itself, and start working again as usual, hope that helped.

Lexie... Karen here now!!! Ooooohh.. looks like my daughter could be an Ipod engineer!!! Hopefully that will sort Dulcies ipod out - I keep threatening to take Amys away... she is singing her little heart out (while it sounds very nice (sometimes!!) I dont particularly like listening to it when I am trying to watch tv. Sometimes I think its glued to her earhole

Have been taking down the deccies, all in boxes now, just got to wait until tomorrow when they will get put up in the loft.

We have had some snow - I walked mum home and by the time I had sorted out her tablets etc there was a covering of snow.

Sounds like most of you stayed up partying the New Year In, glad you all had a lovely time

Tree, cards and decs are down had enough looking at them, hoovered and all straight again. Well apart from the air hockey table in the middle of the lounge it's good fun though. Might have to see if I can make room in the conversatory for it.

Brought Jake some headphones for his PSP as he watches movies and plays his games on it and I was fed up of listening to it. Now all I can hear is him either laughing really loudly whilst watching The Simpson movie or him shouting at his game. Plus I have to shout louder to gets his attention

Thanks Amy , or should I say ipod engineer we had done that , but as its doing it all the time and is brand new , going to replace it .... this forum is brill, even get your ipod fixed on it !!!!Thanks Karen for asking for Amys help . !!!! Di I used to love air hockey , my brother had it when he was younger it was great fun .....xx

I think that is a downfall on all the ipods, Gemmas does that too and we did the thingy what Karen said and its ok now

Sounds like you had a great time Lou (and the rest of you) I'm getting a bit fed up with my own company - not surprising as I'm such a miserable git at the moment. i wouldn't want to spend much time with me either.

The party animal in me hasn't had a chance to shine for weeks. Roll on Oz - perhaps I'll buck up then!
