@Former-Member Cleaning sounds yukky ... Well I woke up at 9ish went online then went back to bed and didnt get up until 12!!!!!!! and I have just finished talking to old moggy in WA about politics and MI which is always a great topic because pollies are such b@#$a#$Ds.

My ex will be here soon and we will have an early low key ChrissyEve dinner!

@greenpeacleaning is yukky!! Ironically though, I clean it for all the people coming tomorrow, house gets dirty, then I clean it again. Hmmmm, maybe I should have just left it dirty!!

I would have loved to hear that conversation about politics and MI, I could see a certain little green pea stating her mind!! Good on ya!!

Sounds like a nice low key dinner. We will probably go fro a drive around to look at chrissy lights tonight. Want to come?

@Former-Member Well I am glad you have missed me as I have missed you!! It would be terrible if you didnt miss me and then went offline forever and in 20 years I would be on my death bed thinking 'whatever ever happened to NellBell?' ... how terrible would that be. Now the four of us can keep in touch and make sure each other are okay ... did you see I won a free ticket so I will get that soon and cross fingers we will win the big one ... I am thinking I might do it once a month. Just $2 bring us all a bit of luck and a bit of fun.

Haha @greenpea I am not going to leave, and you have got at least 30 years left in you!!

A CHRISTMAS POEM
'Twas the night before Christmas; there wasn't a sound.
Not a possum was stirring; no-one was around.
We'd left on the table some tucker and beer,
Hoping that Santa soon would be here;

We children were snuggled up safe in our beds,
While dreams of pavlova danced 'round in our heads;
And Mum in her nightie, and Dad in his shorts,
Had just settled down to watch TV sports.

When outside the house a mad ruckus arose;
Loud squeaking and banging woke us from our doze.
We ran to the screen door, peeked cautiously out,
Snuck onto the deck, then let out a shout.

Guess what had woken us up from our snooze,
But a rusty old Ute pulled by eight mighty roos.
The cheerful man driving was giggling with glee,
And we both knew at once who this plump bloke must be.



Now, I'm telling the truth it's all dinki-di,
Those eight kangaroos fairly soared through the sky.
Santa leaned out the window to pull at the reins,
And encouraged the 'roos, by calling their names.

'Now, Kylie! Now, Kirsty! Now, Shazza and Shane!
On Kipper! On, Skipper! On, Bazza and Wayne!
Park up on that water tank. Grab a quick drink,
I'll scoot down the gum tree. Be back in a wink!'

So up to the tank those eight kangaroos flew,
With the Ute full of toys, and Santa Claus too.
He slid down the gum tree and jumped to the ground,
Then in through the window he sprang with a bound.

He had bright sunburned cheeks and a milky white beard.
A jolly old joker was how he appeared.
He wore red stubby shorts and old thongs on his feet,
And a hat of deep crimson as shade from the heat.

His eyes - bright as opals - Oh! How they twinkled!
And, like a goanna, his skin was quite wrinkled!
His shirt was stretched over a round bulging belly
Which shook when he moved, like a plate full of jelly.

A fat stack of prezzies he flung from his back,
And he looked like a swaggie unfastening his pack.
He spoke not a word, but bent down on one knee,
To position our goodies beneath the yule tree.

Surfboard and footballs he left for us two.
And for Dad, tongs to use on the new barbeque.
A mysterious package he left for our Mum,
Then he turned and he winked and he held up his thumb;

He strolled out on deck and his 'roos came on cue;
Flung his sack in the back and prepared to shoot through.
He bellowed out loud as they swooped past the gates-

MERRY CHRISTMAS to all,
and good onya, MATES!'

@Former-Member Oh I would love to come. The Chrissy lights are so wonderful ... Christmas really is for children. I loved it when they were little going to the shops, seeing Santa, watching them open their presents was delightful but now it is something I play duck and wearve... luckily for me everyone knows the way I feel.

It is one day NellBell I know you will get through it with flying colours. Everyone will have a good time and you will get through it because you are one tough classy lady 😄
