I don't know whether to laugh or cry. A fantastic, bitter-sweet post. Highly imaginative; creatively brilliant; but very sobering.
Happy Bloody Christmas. x
You can substitute brandy for the whiskey. The end result is unaffected...lol.
Your post would have been very funny if I had been unaware of the experiences leading to its creation.
brilliant. You are still with it in spite of everything.
What a pity, I have made this year's Christmas cake.
This is one of my favourite recipes (to read)! Glad to see you can still appreciate the humor in it!
I hope you have an uneventful Christmas and get to enjoy having your daughter home from uni for a while.
mmm...yes very funny...is there a slightly bitter taste to thecake though?
Does he know it's Christmas? You and Kay have a nice time and don't worry about him.
OMG! That was brilliant! Loved it.
You made me have a really good laugh - and I really needed that.
Great Post Rosiero
Love RMXX
Hi Rosiero,
The post made me laugh too but knowing the situation I can imagine it was far from funny for you. Maybe its a good way to cope though. As someone who thinks too much about their situation I can see great value of taking a different approach to the way you relfect on these episodes.
I wish you all the best for christmas.

I think you may have saved me Rosiero. I am so behind with Christmas preparations this year, I may have to give this a go! I'll let you know. Cherry Mistmas!
