Was Santa good to you Poppy? Taking the prize for my most useful pressie, was a handy wallet for the car sat nav - from Homer of course

The most bemusing has to be the large, ceramic and glass, rocking chicken, which was from my sister.

Happy Christmas everyone. Turkey is in the oven, veg all prepared and I'm about to sit down to a seafood starter and a glass of wine.

Beautiful sunny morning, think we'll be heading for the Prom after lunch. Maybe see some of you down there?

Michele has already hit the online M&S sale.

Merry Christmas all.

It is a lovely crisp morning. Hope your seafood starter went down well, Bob.
Hope Santa was good to you all and that you all have a lovely day.

Poppy are those kisses for me? Ya big flirt!

Just about to head into the kitchen. I feel some fizzy rose coming on. Or maybe a large gin?

Choices, choices.

Chin, chin folks.

Merry Christmas to everyone from me too.

It's not been the happiest one for us here as Mr TG has been in the Royal Infirmary for a week now with pneumonia and looks to be there for a few days yet

We were supposed to be going up north to my Mums so it's been a change of plans all round.

That's really rotten news Teddygirl. I had thought of pneumonia as a thing of the past, but I know of several folk that have suffered from it fairly recently. Hope Mr TG is back on his feet for the New Year. Please wish him a speedy recovery.

All our thougts are with you and your family, TG.
Awful to be in hospital at any time of year let alone over the festive season.

Glad I was sober yesterday. Noticed a lot more cars than usual on the slippy roads, alot of drivers acting daft.
Brother in law was stopped and brethalised on his way home. He was like me, very abstentious, so no bother.

Was in touch with someone in perth, Western Australia. Picnic on the beach for lunch in 38 degrees heat and other person in Colorado USA, minus watever and skiiing, hot chocolate and marshmallows time

Hope Mr TG gets home soon.

We had a nice day yesterday at my mum and dads - lovely pressies, ate and drank way too much. Just on my first gin since we got home an hour or so ago.

My nieces got a Wii - so I was champion boxer!

Poppy · Post by **Poppy** » 26 Dec 2007, 16:22

No kisses for you, ecm, ya brat!

Kisses to Mr TG though. What a bummer (as the young folk might say!!).

We were at my dad's in East Linton (slippy slip roads indeed, SoupD: scary), back today early as I developed asthma overnight, but have no idea what triggered it (getting better). We were supposed to be going to Mr Poppy's brother's but he's ill-in-bed as is the person who was supposed to be having a drinkies do tonight.

Still, that means I can snuggle under my electric "heated chocolate throw" for the rest of the day. Cosy cosy cosy.

Hope everyone has recovered from the excesses - or the sad lack thereof - of yesterday.

Thanks for all your good wishes,folks. Mr TG has just phoned me and is feeling not too bad tonight. His temperature came down slightly today but has gone back up again. They gave him a fan last night which helped him sleep so hopefully he'll get another good night tonight. He says it is doing him much more good than all those silly antibiotics.

Nice to see you on the forum again Catz!

Notice you had your share of snow the other week!!!

Maria · Post by **Maria** » 28 Dec 2007, 21:39

Nice to hear from you again CatzVP

Sandra · Post by **Sandra** » 28 Dec 2007, 22:19

Teddygirl the lady who works in the wine shop (haddows) hubby is in the royal with pneumonia too

and is being sprayed also with water and fans. Hope all are well soon.

teddygirl · Post by **teddygirl** » 29 Dec 2007, 11:24

Hi Catz, great to hear from you, hope you both had a lovely Christmas and thanks for asking after Mr TG.

Sandra, it seems that there have been a lot of people laid low with pneumonia this year, I've heard of a few more.
Mr TG has had a drain attached to him for the last couple of days but it's not been working so they are going to decide this week-end whether to operate or not

arachnid · Post by **arachnid** » 29 Dec 2007, 15:00

Oh Dear, what a worry for you Teddygirl! Thinking of you both and hope things start to improve very soon.

Porty · Post by **Porty** » 30 Dec 2007, 12:37

Best wishes for a quick recovery for MR TG, will be thinking of you both. Merry Xmas everyone.

This pneumonia has affected my cousin in his 20s in Dublin - they are now having their Christmas dinner today! There seems to be a lot of it about and it appears to be unusual for that to be the case.

Sandra · Post by **Sandra** » 30 Dec 2007, 18:39

TG hope all goes well.

Puerto bella · Post by **Puerto bella** » 30 Dec 2007, 21:49

TG - sorry to hear Mr TG is unwell, hope he gets better soon.

Merry Christmas to all at TP.

admin: a number of posts on this thread have been deleted - pointless stirring up of trouble...

Poppy · Post by **Poppy** » 26 Jan 2008, 20:32

Thought I should state that I have recently seen a recovering Mr TG!!

teddygirl · Post by **teddygirl** » 27 Jan 2008, 12:47

Thanks Poppy, he has been out of hospital for two weeks now and is recovering well although he still gets tired very easily. On saying that he has gone back to work part time (far too early, but he knows best !! ) and of course because of a problem he has even had to go in today for a few hours.

On a positive note he has lost two and a half stones in weight so for once his New Year resolution to lose weight this year has got off to a good start.

Think I'll have a job catching up with him

arachnid · Post by **arachnid** » 29 Jan 2008, 22:18

It's good to hear that Mr. T.G. is on the road to recovery at last.
Although I hope that he's not taking too much on going back to his work already!! Anyway glad to hear he's much better, what a relief it must be for you too!!! All the best!!

Maria · Post by **Maria** » 29 Jan 2008, 23:17

Delighted to hear your OH is back home Teddygirl.

Delighted to hear hubby is well and back home.
