Best wishes for Deborah. I will say a prayer to St Catherine of Siena, patron saint looking after health matters. She will be just fine. Don't worry.

Thanks Gala, I worry more for the nurses.........she is the world worst patient, its a hip replacement after a major Ar$$ over elbow accident in 2005, they did pin it , but the joint never got the blood supply...........She has already planned a speedy recovery by buying 6 pairs of high heels, which she has not been able to wear for the last 3 years ...........thanks all for your thoughts

That's positive thinking! Good on you, Deborah!!!!! Get a few more pairs.

Whilst I am keen to send you my best wishes....lets get back on thread.....

On the second day of Christmas, my true love sent to me....

Great idea and very funny - looks like Ryanair are copying you now too - have just seen they are doing their own version of 12 Days for those who love to fly with them. Staring today - flights €1 [B]including taxes[/B], tomorrow €2 etc etc for Jan and Feb - ideal for a post Christmas break!

And finally our "ten" drummers drumming but seem to be taking a photo call or have popped out for a fag.

advent calender ........you can start :yes:

Well I hinted that perhaps we could compose extra verses!!! In the meantime, quite an unusual online Advent Calendar - 10th Anniversary - [url=http://www.electricdecember.org/08/calendar/]Electric December 2008[/url] which is made up of a series of short films by youngsters across Europe. Lovely group to get involved with.

Gie us a break. I'm busy looking for a photie of Ronald, David, Marc, Nardini, Pigro, Charles, Ricky, Alan h, Geotherm and Adriatica whooping it up somewhere. It could take yet more time.

Sugar I spent far too long looking so I offer this instead. Two called in sick alas.
