Yeah, I'm sending lots of Christmas cards too!

I agree!!! Great idea - very Christmassy! All we need now is the sleigh bells and the snow ... fat chance in Bristol - last place Santa thought of. :cry:

:D

Miss you, Tracy! I have FOUND the chat place!!! Am I growing up or what?! :lol:

Woohoo!!!! It's there!! :D Thanks Ian!! You coming to the party tonight?! Silly question!! Why do you look so much like Chris ..... ?!!! 8) :lol: :!: (in a very silly mood tonight!!!! :lol: )

Hey Ian, I just tried to add my birthday - it said it had accepted it, but I don't see anything .... ? :?

Ian, I LOVE your emoticons!!!!!!! :blowup:

Excellent idea - mine's on the way, in two formats ( :oops: )!

ooh, look, I just did another new page!!! Ian, you were right !!!! :lol:

STOP! You're making my mouth water .... ! where's that recipe book ... ! 8)

Yay! 8) :lol:

How do I do the chatroom? Sorry guys, you must be really fed up with me - do I choose 'chat' above, underneath the title?

Thanks, Sarah - make sure you're there! I'll do my best to be there too!

Yeah, I'm definitely sick of that ... ! But not you, Ian, you're a sweetie ! And if I could eat anything I wanted and not put on an ounce, I would! :D

Oh yum, cheesecake's my fave! Does she do a savoury, Christmassy one?

Oh excellent! I must try these quote things! And I'm looking foward to the party tomorrow - but is it 8 or 9pm UK time?

Last year I had everything but the meat - sprouts, carrots, parsnips, roast potatoes, gravy (made with Marmite, of course!!), cranberry sauce, and then Christmas pud and yummy custard. Just missed out the meat bit. Didn't miss it a bit! What do others do? Nut roast is fine, but a bit fattening! :( Hey, I've lost 24 lbs since July - now a size 8 - is that cool, or what?!! Woohoo - roll on the party dress season!!! 8) :lol: :wink:

Ian, I have two questions : First, how do I do these quote things? and second, what do you mean about the board feedback section and it being locked? Be gentle with me, where do I go for our party tomorrow?

I'm a vegetarian. Go on, ask me the classic question, "what do vegetarians eat for Christmas lunch then?" Heh heh! :lol:

oooh, first time I've started a new page ... !!! 8) :lol:

Just like a real party .... !!!! 8)

Hey, that's a really nice explanative explanation, if you see what I mean! :D :lol: :?: :? But what about our party - is it still happening at 9.00 UK time tomorrow (Sunday) evening?

Do you travel a lot, Ian? My car only takes LRP fuel and the tank only holds about £20's worth (it's an MG Midget - tiny little thing!), so that's why I don't know the prices of unleaded. I only drive about 4 miles to work and back (through heavy traffic, though), and don't tend to go far in it at weekends. It's horrible driving it on the motorway - I feel very vulnerable with all these lorries and huge cars doing 100 mph!! :shock:

I think ours is about 77p per litre - am I right, guys? I don't really look at the price, I just put in about £20's worth every week. Thing is, our country is smaller, so I guess we don't do quite as much long-distance driving. I hear that American's think nothing of driving, say 50 miles to do some shopping, whereas I get p****d off if I have to drive 2 miles to the supermarket! However, my boss's responsibility covers the whole of England, and he is always up and down on trains and aeroplanes and in his car, so I suppose there ARE a lot of people here who do inordinate amounts of driving. Shall we do a swap, Jen? I've always wanted to visit the States, California in particular!! :D

Simon, you are one cool guy. "Give up, don't give in" - that's one hell of a statement. I understand. :wink:
