xmas has been a sad tiome for me for years ,always seems to be something to make me depressed on the run up to it. last year i didnt even feel like getting out of bed on xmas day,but you have to keep going for the kids. xmas day 2000 i had a call from cheltenham hospital my mother wouldnt last the night could i come in next day so i said yes. what they really wanted me for was to get my permission to take her off life support, which i did. my wife was very sorry but she admitted to having an affair and was leaving me great xmas !! this year will be the best in more than ten years by far, i hope you all have a great festive season
