I'm heading back home to the land of 'variable' mobile phone signals, so incase I'm not on the net again - Merry Christmas from me too!

[Anita]

I'll reiterate all the above sentiments! Have a good one everybody :) .

I have to work up til Christmas Eve (supposed to work a full day but will come home at about 2 pm - boss has to stay because he's got a clinic the management wouldn't let him cancel: be interesting to know how many of the ten who have appointments bother to turn up! I sure wouldn't attend a hospital appointment on Christmas Eve afternoon - would you?).

Christmas Day & Boxing Day we go round my Father-in-Laws place - to make lots of you "married" old 'uns jealous ..... been married 27 years and have never cooked a Christmas dinner :cool: . I will do absolutely nothing on Christmas Day or Boxing Day but relax and enjoy myself ;) .

[Gingerheid]

It would depend how desparate I was, how long I'd been waiting, and whether I'd believe the consultant would turn up on the afternoon of Christmas Eve!

Take it the waiting list targets aren't looking good:rolleyes: perhaps next year they will hand out 200 appointments for Xmas Eve and Day. Odds are very few of them would turn up - and that then wouldn't be the trusts fault.:mad:

Hope nobody here's working on Xmas day! Outside the house I meant.

And gosh - Anita - you're lucky! There was a lady at my old office who could say that. She put on a moody face and announced that she just told [name of husband] that "it wiznae oan her job description"

[Anita]

My daughter's boyfield is working Christmas Day :mad: . Like her he works on the boats so lets hope the weather's not too bad for him: or better still so bad the ferry can't leave the harbour :rolleyes: .

My boss doesn't have any "breach" appointments: they're all seen within the guide times, even if we have to overbook clinics. Mind you I've had real trouble getting our appointments people to cancel clinics when I haven't had any doctors available! Don't know who they thought was going to see them ...... :confused:.

As for Christmas/Boxing days - hubby does the breakfasts and my F-I-L does dinner and tea on both days (Alan is an only child and George is a widower so we're all he's got which is why we get spoilt rotten). ;)

Just like to wish everyone a great Christmas. Anita, I've managed 25 years without cooking a Christmas dinner but this year will be the first! I've got to work Christmas Day on a late shift (all those sad people that insist on flying on christmas day please take note!!!!!!) so have decided to have a quiet day at home and cook my first Christmas lunch. The kids are horrified - they are already saying how boring it will be. What's worse for me is I've then got to drop them off at a friend's house on my way to work (where all our friends will be spending the evening) for a Christmas Night party!

Mind you I'm then off for six days and not returning to work until New Years Day on a late shift so can make up for it then.

Have a great Christmas and New Year.

Have a very merry Christmas All and a happy and prosperous New Year.

Here's hoping that 2005 will be everything we have every wanted and that peace will prevail and famine will end for the rest of the world.

I am going to be with my son and daughter-in-law in Plymouth this year which is a first. My grandson from my older son will be travelling with me to visit his uncle and go aboard his Royal Navy ship. Getting to Plymouth is like trying to get to the end of the earth from Edinburgh. We are leaving early Wednesday morning on Easyjet to Bristol where we will be picked up and driven back to Plymouth. Be glad when I am there and glad when I am back home - not keen on the travelling bit.

Seasons greeting to all forum members.

This Christmas has been great. It's my first since I was really young, that I haven't been vegetarian for. Phew! It's good.
And my first being an adult too. Definetely the season to get merry. Might give the unicycle a second chance after that... :o)

[peter edge]

congratulations on all accounts Gingerbop, and let us know how you get along with the unicycle [nearly got one on E-bay!!]http://www.british-gymnastics.org/memberforum/images/icons/icon7.gif

Snow on Christmas Day in Devon - never thought it would be.

We have had a lovely time in this part of the world and are now home in freezing temperatures in Edinburgh. I must say, the change in temperature from one end of the coutry to the other is outstanding. Think I shall have to move south! Apart from Christmas day the rest of the time I had to take a layer of clothing off! Even the Ice Rink in Plymouth town centre was struggling and had closed for the day when we had gone to take little one skating :(. Never mind he went on everything else.

Hope you all had a lovely time and that you enjoy your New Year festivities.

[Gingerbop]

Mad, isn't it! What's wrong with that country stuck to the bottom of us? I was out in 2 layers!

Then when I came home, my parents had but the heating on full blast for me arriving; I was basically sunbathing in bed the first day, then the second day it must have overheated and died, and now I'm in the highlands, with no heating. It's all fun fun fun, I tell you.

[Gingerheid]

I've obviously been in the wrong places at the wrong time... Went back home and it was freezing and snowing (and certainly enough fresh air at the coast to clear your lungs out) - come back and it's cold here now!

Never mind - Happy New Year and all! :)
