ddickinson: You are, as always, very welcome. *big hug*
Awww, those poor snails. Now who will deliver all the gifts to the little French boys and girls? You might have ruined Christmas for them all with your appetite. :-)
Glad to hear you are doing good, and hopefully you will have a lovely evening with your friends.
Her husband is taking it very hard as well, especially as it looks like they will lose their home due to him not being able to afford the mortgage on his own. Me and my partner have talked about lending him the money he needs to pay it off so that he won't have to worry about him or his daughters not having a home. They have been through a lot these last few years with their mother's health and now her passing. I think they don't need to be made homeless as well if there is something I can do to help.
Have you been having fun with the sale?
*big hug while eating the lovely fish and chips*
Hehe, hopefully Santa has other plans, because snail delivery would have been a bit too slow anyway ;-p
So, on the contrary, I force him to find a plan B, so every little French boys and girls have their gifts in time :-) ... voilà.
Wow, that is very generous from you and your partner... (i'm not surprised). Maybe if everyone (many persons in their circle) is helping a little, it will be possible for them to stay in their house, and it won't be too difficult for you, helping people, either ?... anyway, I hope you'll find a solution. And you're really a great person.
(and yes I'm having fun with the sale ! I already went on a spending spree yesterday, and bought the witcher 3, as I had been drooling in front of the box for months (I'm not reasonable at all... tant pis ! :">)... I was as excited and happy as a little owlet opening her christmas gifts... hihi :">). Now I'm planning my 'real' christmas gifts for the family kids and my secret 'giftee' (we all have a secret santa, and so we have only one gift to make to one another ; except for the kids !)... I'll go do some shopping during my lunch break... so I'll see how much money will be left for the rest of the sale... :)
What about you ? anything that catches your eye ?
