Merry Christmas To All Forumites

Well, I'm a Christmas Day taxi service - ferrying aged parents (Pa has promised to take a day off from writing letters of complaint to AN Other, Chief Executive, insert appropriate Company name here) to and from sister's for Christmas day. Then on Boxing Day it's off to Devon to hitch a lift in Dim's camera bag for a few days ... :D

Merry Christmas all!

Holiday at home this year with friends and family with trips to Kempton and footy thrown in. However our central heating has gone on the blink so that, whilst the bedrooms upstairs are warm, heating downstairs is a random process with radiators not heating up or being lukewarm. We do not have a tradtional fire so have bought some calor gas heaters and look forward to moving from room to room depending on which has hot radiators.

Have had engineers in with the usual differing solutions-all only available after the New Year. :angry:
 
At the moment I'm just hoping I'll make it back into the country tonight......

Was supposed to be at Fontwell tomorrow but will more than likely shelve that for an afternoon in the pub watching the racing - tomorrow evening got a night on the vodka with a load of mates, Sunday morning riding 'osses (could be fun after tomorrow night!!!) followed by lunch during which I'll attempt to be civil to the wannabe-stepmother and try not to strangle her rugrats....down to Kent in the evening for the start of the Christmas alcohol/feed-your-face-frenzy that my aunt and uncle are so good at hosting. My aunt has put me on riding duties mind so will also be hoofing her enormous beast around the Kent roads! Will more than likely be seen lurking at various racecourses in the interim too - Happy Days! :D

Oh yeah - and have a good one everyone!
 
Hapyy Christmas to the overwhelming majority of you.

Happy Christmas to all!!!

Looking forward to looking in on this great site throughout 2007...

For those of you with nippers (and those who are still big kids at heart), try this to track Santa's progress throughout Christmas Eve. My two girls were glued to this last year... and I was too!

Track Santa!

The great man is currently in New Zealand air space :)

All the best!
 
The junior Griffins are crowding round the laptop in the living room tracking Santa :lol:
 
Happy Christmas all of you. May Mr Claus bring you lots of presents.

I love the Santa tracking site, he's getting nearer!!! :D
