I got bad words this morning.....my hospital dermotology dept wrote to tell me that seeing that I missed an aptment on 1st of Nov they will NOT see me again....something really stinks with the GP's and the two hospitals here where i get seen 'yeah that was a joke'.......I have called PALS and they are on answermachines and also I called the hosp back and they just huffed and puffed....called my surgery and they told me no one was available to talk to me till late today I called the smaller hosp to ask WHY the letter was sent telling me I would NOT be seen at all seeing that I did call back the day after I missed the apptment and so I re-requested at my surgery as an URGENT case and then this letter came................who do I compain to now.......its partly due to the monster headaches I get now as to why I missed the bluddy aptmnt on nov 1st it's partly their fault this is all happening ......last contact was from an ignorant tw-tt with a posh voice trying to hush me up and saying I wont get seen till after xmas.....I WONT GET SEEN AT ALL from what this letter says

thinking back that on this day 5 years ago there were 60 of us builders,painters,roofers.groundworkers etc hired a small local golf course for that day so that we could all play golf dressed up as santa. £50.00 per player plus a big xmas dinner plus the proceeds of the raffle all going to charity.....60 santas playing golf between the main line london to norwich line and the A12 to Ipswich to the other side about 300 yards away and there we were down in the huge dip all dressed as santas getting beeped by the trains that were to one side and the cars and lorrys on the A12 to the other all blowing their horns......it was freezing cold but on the upside we had an ex doorman on the golf buggy driving round with beers and spirits on the deck of the buggy and his elder brother was in our foursome so we had more than our fair share of the refreshments hohoho....funny a great day despite my worry about the stents in my heart every time I whacked a ball eeeeeeeeeek

the bin men woke me this morning and due to we dont have wheelie bins but plastic bags 'we are clever' we have black ones for household waste and clear ones for plastic and or paper....well a while back one of my front brick piers was dislodged at the top and due to all the rain then frost I decided not to get a mate round to rebuild it so I covered it with one of the clear bags and tied a small rope around it "remember " it's been like it for about 6 weeks and then today I was about to put my bag out ready for collection and just looked out the landing window to watch a dickbrain trying to take the pier away for recycling and I was about to shout out the landing window that the BIG BAG tied over the pier was just to keep the rain etc off it then the penny dropped and he realised ha ha ha it's true .....you could NOT make this up and to be honest I watched him for at least 30 seconds and thought he was just someone standing outside my house txting hohoho.....

getting a Christmas card and note from my late nephews wife and two little som's poor Vincent died in the summer and left a wife and 12 and 8 year old son's she appreciates my words in a letter that i wrote and gave to her at his funeral and part of the letter could be addressed to almost everyone in here and that section of letter is....we have mountains to climb in our lives and some have mountains made of shale that let us slip back down BUT we never slip back down to where we started the climb from.

She told me in the card that I will always be welcome at their home due to I was Vincents favourite uncle and her little lads liked me eventhough I didnt see much of them really.....I have that sort of face lol

 

RIP Vincent and his 24 year old younger brother who died in 07

I smiled at getting three really lovely beuquets of flowers for my wifes grave due to I went against the normal type I get her they being a dozen bright red and a dozen white roses and instead got her three lovely Christmassy beuquets type this year and even if I had no money at all I'd rather get her flowers than the turkey crown or anything for us three but as it is I managed to do it so I'm happy with that xx for Sue xx

I smiled again when I got out of Saisburys earlied when a bloke in the car park asked me "how animal was in there due to ques " so i told him it wanst so much how animal it was but there were plenty of muppets:lol:

How lovely. A few years ago I dropped my card wallet, which had a top up card with my mobile number in. Walking home and got a phone call. Man says I've found your card wallet and we've taken it home. You can pick it up tomorrow if you want. Got a taxi the next day and said something to the driver. The driver says he'll charge me to get there; but not to get back into town. :)

I remember once handing in a wallet that had been left in a phone box (it was a long time ago)!

 

The person that had lost it, very kindly sent me a voucher for £5 but it could only be used at a store in Birmingham and the train fare was £5!

 

I also handed a purse in at a till in BHS, the lady that was served ahead of me had left it. I was Christmas so I guess she was a little stressed!

 

So LaughingGirl, there are still a few of us around, as burlyb says! :-)

You're right Dotty, good folk are out there. I've just been reminded by my OH that a few years ago, I walked a mile out of my way in the pouring rain to hand in a lost purse at the Police station (not enough ID in it to get hold of the lady myself), so I'm going to take this as a little bit of evidence that there might be such a thing as karma. :-)

 

Either way, all the buffet food for tomorrow is cooked (well, nearly!), all the pressies are wrapped, and I'm about to settle down with a little glass of something warming. All is right with the world as far as I'm concerned!

 

Merry Christmas to everyone, and here's to another excellent year of Cagging! :whoo:

Just back from the annual Christmas Eve carols the village silver band play. Some fun with little ones jingling bells and bouncing around, as well as some emotional memories. Christmas has officially started for me now so must start wrapping presents. :-o

 

Merry Christmas from me too. x :-)

In that really frosty cold winter in 87 we were building some town houses in Dedham and one saturday I'd gone in to load out some blocks for the following week and I looked across the street to the little quaint post office a thought of how long it had stood there due to that high street has some really old houses in it....I noticed a rectangular tan packet on the path so I went over to check what it was and it turned out to be a wallet so I took a guess that it belonged to someone who was either in the post office or had lost it going in or out of it so took it into the P/O and handed it to a lady behind the screen and left.

About ten minutes later an old geezer came up the pavement looking left and right on the floor so i called out to ask if he had lost the wallet and he said yes and I asked him to discribe it so he was spot on with the description so I told him i'd handed it in at the P/O so he went in and then a couple of minutes later he came out and looked across to me and said...............................nothing f/a nitto...............Dedham is a very posh place and due to I was just a lowley brickie I suppose he thought..............serf so as he walked down the path on the other side of the road I began thinking some nasty thoughts about this old bastid in his camel hair overcoat and wing commander type mustache.

 

Happy Xmas from we three kings here and jingle all the way x
