Happy New Year

I guess our esteemed Matron may be placing an official message but I want to wish you all a Happy New Year. Last year was a difficult, really difficult year, for all of us at times. I ended up getting depressed and have been on Fluoxetine for nearly three months. I am now feeling a lot better. You are all precious to me and I hope with God's help that the new year will bring better things. God bless you all. Peter

Christmas Question 6

When was your most memorable Christmas?

I think mine is the year Ben was born. He was born on the 23rd and we went to stay on Christmas Eve so we got to see him at only 1 day old. It was a memorable time and he was so adorable (he's not quite so adorable now he is 8!).

Christmas Question 5

What games have you been playing this Christmas?

We have had the PS2 out, the parents aren't too keen on SingStar, but even Dad will play the Buzz general knowledge quiz. We also like to play traditional board and card games and two favourites are Flux and Carcassonne. This year we have discovered Apples to Apples which is good fun and the parents like it because they each won a game!

Christmas Question 4

Thanks to everyone for joining in!

What is your favourite Christmas song?

I like a lot of the christmas hits because of the memories they bring back, but one of my favourites is "Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas". I also love the Pogues and Kirsty MacColl - "Fairytale of New York", though the words aren't too festive!

Christmas Question 3

What is your favourite carol?

I love "See Amid", but I think its not so much about the carol itself but the memories associated with it. Its the one which, when we sing it, my family always look at each other and smile.

Christmas Question 2

What was your best Christmas present?

I didn't get many real presents this year but have given school books, school uniform and school grant to Africa! The best present was one I bought for myself, a David Tennant Calendar to keep me happy all year round :>

Christmas Question 1

I thought 12 questions for the 12 days of Christmas, please all join in!

What has been the best Christmas TV this year?

I'm going for Doctor Who and the Vicar of Dibley. Doctor Who was as spectacular as ever and the Vicar of Dibley had me crying with laughter.

Wishing everyone ...
