Christmas

[andrewducker]

I should be packed right now. I should be worrying about getting to the 1pm train and heading down to Kent to join 20 other members of my family for Christmas Day.

Instead I just went to the Post Office and sent off a refund application for my tickets.

Lilian's not doing very well at the moment, for reasons I can't go into. She was supposed to be coming down to Kent with me, but really isn't up to it. So it's Christmas in Scotland for us.

First time away from my family in 32 years.

I'll miss them, but this needs to be done.

Sorry about your news, but you are obviously doing the right thing and your family will understand. Hope all goes well.

Yeah, we'll miss you too :(

Best wishes to Lilian, I hope she feels better and you both still have a spiffing Christmas.

Big hugs to you both,

Mx

I'm impressed ...

... you're obviously a good chap (or very VERY scared of Lilian <grin>)

No, seriously. Send Lilian my best wishes for a quick and full recovery and I hope that the spirit of Christmas visits and supports you both!

You're doing the right thing, and it's a good thing.

it's hard to be supportive without sounding patronising, so I'm not going to bother ... you're a *good* boyfriend

Best wishes to both of you, but especially to her. There was an absence from LJ which one had begun to wonder about....

Hugs to both of you.
Hope you have a good Xmas.

Don't mope, brighten up and anticipate a spiffing xmas in jolly old edinburgh. If nothing else you've got mates up here who love you and care for you(and Lillian). Can I go to Kent in your place?

Best wishes to you both (and kudos to you for doing the right thing)! Hope the situation improves, and that you both enjoy Christmas.

Adding to the chorus: I hope L is better and that the two of you have a good holiday together.

On behlaf of the assorted derranged and inbred maniacs who shall be spending Hogwatch in The Valley (Susan, Aaron, mineself, etc)may I extend mine own support and good wishes to you and Ms. L. You are noble and good. And spending the Season with a faster connection than mine own dial up. And it could be worse- you could be with us here in Darvel, recently twinned with Royston Vasey and Leng.

You look after that woman o' yours.

And have a great Christmas!
