Christmas eve

Happy christmas . Another murder on Corrie . Whats it all about Alfie ? Hope you have got evry thing you need . I had a panic on Cranberry sauce wise . Sold out in quite a few places . Managed to track a jar down in Lidl in the end . No one really likes it in our house but youve got to have all the trimmings . Lots of love Barbara xx

tree up

Have had a good tip out of shite from the lean to ready for all the new shite that Christmas brings wrapping paper and packaging wise . Our Valerie came round and we loaded it up in her brother in laws van that she borrows (Ken was watching telly so couldnt help). Then me and Val went to the tip . What a treat !the fellahs were cheery and helpful and they were playing Slades "So here it is , Merry Christmas " dead loud so you could hear it all over the place . I could have lived there.
On the way home we went passed a shop with Christmas trees outside and me and Val just pulled up and got one each . Loaded it up in the back of the van and Bobs your uncle . Came home feeling very Christmassy and good . Ken of course moaned about the shape of the tree but bugger him .

sprouts

How do you like yours ? we used to do them with bicarbornate of Soda . You would boil them for a good while .They went very green and sloppyish . I must say I liked them Now they only cook them for a bit . Funny how things change isnt it . Nothing stands still . It`s all shifting sands xxx

Third

I came third in the contest. Not bad . thanks if you voted .
I went to Woolworths at the weekend . I only wanted curtain hooks and couldnt be doing with queuing for half an hour. In the end went to Wilkinsons but they had none . Where will we go for curtain hooks now Woolies has gone ? Its the small things we`ll miss . Where will we go for DYLON?

My friend Ali has had a little boy -loveley. xxxxx

Queuing at woolworths

Queued up for the closing down sale but when I got in I thought well what do I want here ?Not much really . Got a couple of chocolate oranges in the end .

I wonder why those people who were passing round this bad debt that is supposed to have started all this trouble havnt lost their jobs? I cant understand it . When our Uncle Pete was caught fiddling the Christmas Club money at The Club he was sacked as events chairman. Its like two rules in this World - one for them and one for us .

I wish i`d got into a load of debt now because those that have savings are bailing out those that have lived beyond their means . I wish I`d bought a caravan now .

ah well we`ll get on with it But I dont think we should forget the buggers who have buggered it up for everyone .
