When still teaching, I used to go down with something at the start of almost every single holiday!<br />I hope your brother, Chrissie, and your sister's family, Sharon, are now recovering. We intend to have a meal and time together next week when Beth is fully recovered and able to enjoy it.<br /><br />xxJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116524003944939298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648310406783744033.post-89437818204632758102018-12-27T01:59:06.715+00:002018-12-27T01:59:06.715+00:00Sorry to hear about the bug!

There's some nasty stuff going the rounds at the moment. You must have been really tired by the end of the day.<br /><br />Zena, what a lovely time you had. A happy new year to you too.<br /><br />Ha ha, Diane! She's starting to feel a bit more human again, thanks very much.<br /><br />I was thinking of you yesterday, Margaret, wondering if you were enjoying your time away. I always keep stock and really, it is fine. A great way to get the most from your turkey (or chicken). This year's batch is now done and cooling. It should be in the freezer by the end of the day! :-)<br /><br />xxJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116524003944939298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648310406783744033.post-20980594210632114582018-12-26T15:06:30.420+00:002018-12-26T15:06:30.420+00:00Sorry to hear Beth has a cold, they make you feel ...Sorry to hear Beth has a cold, they make you feel really yukky. I wasn't able to send greetings yesterday, either busy, going to our elder son's for a meal, or tired when we got home! But I hoep you had a good time, and you are having a good Boxing Day, Joy. I didn't know you could keep stock for a year in the freezer, you learn something every day! But it sounded truly delicious, Joy. <br />Margaret P galanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190356279359463949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648310406783744033.post-41933758495109885512018-12-26T14:48:52.468+00:002018-12-26T14:48:52.468+00:00How disappointing for you all.

Hope she’s feeling better soon. We had a busy and raucous celebration here! 28 came, feasted and visited. The men had a wonderful time debating everything - they enjoy being together, the ladies enjoyed visiting and the kids played! You are so right about getting back to eating well. Even though we enjoyed cookies, pies and even some panna cotta, with strategies from Weight Watchers, I can hop back on the right track! Wishing you a very happy new year!!

I cooked almost everything from scartch and took it up. We came home in the late afternoon as DH isn’t a great socialiser at any time. Over now for this year and we’ll be back to being on our own next year as DD and SIL are usually somewhere warm. Enjoy your postponed get together when it comes.
