    Merry Christmas everyone, stay safe and well until we meet again, or for the first time. I wished someone 'merry christmas' today, they looked blankly at me for several seconds and finally responded "oh, yeah, you too"
    Terribly sorry I didn't realise it was a secret!
    Have a great time everybody.

    They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
    Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
    At the going down of the sun and in the evening,
    we will remember them

    Dunno about this Christmas shopping thing...gots me a wif to do that.
    But today's helpful hint from me is -
    Spread gladwrap all over the floor around the xmas tree. Then when Santa empties his sack it won't make a mess on the carpet.
    Better living everyone!
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Helpful Hint #4

    To assist with your Xmas shopping in Wgtn:

    Take one white van with tinted windows.
    Slap on the magnetic "Telco Contractor" door signs.
    Park with two wheels on the footpath outside the shop of your choice.
    Put out the orange cones.
    Wander off and do the deed.

    I have used this system for 3 years now with no problems.
    The best way to forget all your troubles is to wear tight underpants.

    Happy Christmas Guys!!!
    Merry Christmas and happy new year to you and your family. Yes, they all look a bit glum out there.... I figured I would smile at everyone, but noone smiled back.

    .... maybe I should take my helmet off next year.

    I'll slap a few 'courier' stickers on me bike or borrow a few nearby roadworks cones and see what they do..... maybe use the 'danger do not approach' tape.

    I guess you get that when he only comes once a year.

    I know what you mean - everywhere I went the week before Christmas all I saw were grumpy faces! The staff in shops were okay, but all the shoppers looked really stressed. All I had to get that last week was our ham, salads, milk, cream and eggs. Everything else was in the cupboards or deep freeze and the wine rack was well stocked too!

    Bit broke now, being a freelancer I don't get paid again until all my clients are back at work, which for some isn't until February... got a few hundred savings that will go quickly on regular bills, but we have heaps of food so it's not like we're going to starve.

    And we DO have the winning Lotto ticket for this weekend!
    Yes, I am pedantic about spelling and grammar so get used to it!
