Yep we all went there. In our bare feet and no arse in our trousers :haha:
School of hard knocks ...

Started watching 'Bad Girls' from episode 1.
It's brilliant - very ehh what's the word ... rustic ? unsophisticated?
But the acting is excellent.
Not a bit slick like most of the programmes these days.

Tonight's episode made me cry - haven't cried at tv for yonks.

Re: December Army Thread with Extra tinsel and Joy

Bad girls, I'm going to look that up.
We actually pulled out a few board games and shock.. horror.. the kids willingly played!
Other than a walk, we hardly ventured outside the door. Everyone is riddled with covid so north county dublin is laying low by all accounts.. Good time to kick off your sorting Molly.

JC, your going to have a amazing blanket crocheted for princess Guinevere :heartbeat:

Re: December Army Thread with Extra tinsel and Joy

Good morning everyone

Can’t remember if I have seen Bad Girls, is it on Netflix? Lucky you Molly, must be exciting to be getting stuff ready for the new place. We are nowhere near that but fingers crossed for the New Year. Had two walks yesterday, Covid is everywhere so that’s about all people can do.

Managed to get one in this morning but it is now starting to rain so not sure about another one. I am the morning person, everyone else still in bed, apart from my daughter who is working. Thankful for the clear headed mornings.

Re: December Army Thread with Extra tinsel and Joy

Morning (just)
[MENTION=8529]mollyka[/MENTION]........delighted for you........shame you're not a bit closer we've got a mountain of IKEA boxes you could borrow.

Never heard of Bad Girls..............we've started watching Vikings again..................well I'm watching it for the umpteeth time but its Mr JC's first time. And thanks to Amazon there's a football or two match every night being shown. Does anyone know a surgeon that can get the channel changers out of Mr JC's hands?

[MENTION=22411]IamMary[/MENTION]..............the clatter of knitting needles from the NE of England will prolly be mentioned on the news.

So the last day of the year tomorrow.................anyone partying or doing what we're doing..................nothing. Mr JC will first foot next door and he'll first foot ours.

Im not surprised..i think lots of us here could track our real problem back to the beginning of home drinking...sad.

Evening all..more packing up today..weird going through old photos..think it's sad we don't have 'hard copy' photos these days..I know we CAN...but...??!
Anyways watching American Rust...super book but quite well done in series

Re: December Army Thread with Extra tinsel and Joy

Just popped in to say good night then blooming started reading .......................same over here

[MENTION=8529]mollyka[/MENTION]..................I don't know how she did it but my SIL got all her old photos and Ma and Pa's ancient photos put onto DVDs. She didn't do it herself found a place that could and would do it.

Got myself some new boots today courtesy of my in-laws Chrimbo money although we're expecting temperatures of 17C plus in the next few days I'll be wearing flip flops .

Re: December Army Thread with Extra tinsel and Joy

Just popping in to wish you all a Happy New Years Eve
Very quiet here in Aus, we've got the omicron covid outbreak so everyone is masked up but still out and about.
I'm not even listening to the news to see what the numbers are. Time enough for that after new years when I have to go back to work.
Just fiddling about in teh garden is enough for me. I always find the lead up to Christmas exhausting and welcome the opportunity to do nothing.
Best to All :heart:
