soapdragon Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 You have spent the last few days delivering bags of presents to relatives and friends and FINALLY get down to decorating the tree! Whilst out shopping, you have been accosted by a man in a Santa suit and several elves with charity buckets. You have to make dentists appointments for the Easter hols. That spoof card goes off to your parents from 'Ron and Margaret' detailing their exciting year.....again. You find a small ramekin at the very back of the 'fridge containing the last of the brandy butter form the previous year.....and its still edible! You find yourself saying 'see you next year' to people. I have experienced ALL of the above today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 When you rescue your copy Delia's Christmas from the summer house from the reserve bookshelf in your summerhouse. When you crack open the cocktail book and delve to the back of the booze cupboard for strange coloured liquids. The strictly final comes around again no more Saturday night glamour and OH cooking the tea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alis girls Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 The bottle of Stones ginger wine purchased for Christmas is finished as OH and I stressed out have been quaffing it for medicinal reasons and feel decadent when we purchase another. We hardly drink but this week we've had one every evening. Hic The card for the person who lives in a nursing home in Preston with the same first line of the address as ours arrives. I write every year "not London" its not even a London postcode. Naughty post office - put your specs on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Oh Soapdragon what have Ron and Marg been up to this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 'Ron and Margaret' have had a busy year! Poor Ron had a hip replacement in the spring and, a couple of weeks after that Margaret managed to prang the car in Waitrose car park. Unfortunately it was a police car that she bumped and the insurance has taken ages to sort out. Gavin, their eldest, finally moved out at the age of 43 so they have the house to themselves but, out of habit, Margaret still fills the 'fridge with cheese strings! She sent him back to his flat with a carrier bag full last time he visited. Daughter Zoe has finally found her niche in life driving a lorry for Eddie Stobart and loves the open road. She is, however, bemoaning the fact that transport cafes just haven't caught on to the gluten free options yet and her digestion is suffering. Ron and Margaret are spending Christmas at a small hotel in the Cotswolds; they had planned to go to Madeira but Ron's model railway obsession has been a bit out of hand this year and finances won't stretch.

Alis girls Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Blimey - you have been imaginative - I would love to see your folks faces when they get that.

soapdragon Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Last year my parents stressed until at least April that they seemed to have 'mislaid' Ron and Margaret's address and so could not send a card themselves I forgot to add that dear Ron and Margaret (tho I suspect its actually Margaret who writes the cards!!) always ask after the girls (my sister and I) and the grandsons...they are so considerate !
