Will my husband be able to resist posting on the forum on Christmas Day?

[Judy2]

Any other EDF widows out there?

[Brendan]

I think I speak for a number of us when I say, is that you dear?

[computedshorty]

Just think of those Wheelie Bins not being emptied over Christmas, the silence of the missing Collectors Lorry and the noise of hobnail boots, just the tap tap tap of the computer, perhaps it might lull you to sleep just this once.

[Mick Mac]

Depends if you have bought him anything decent for Christmas I guess. Scalextric might keep him busy.

[RosieH]

Or there's a chair in the For Sale section that might keep him otherwise occupied...

[Mick Mac]

That's a bit harsh Rosie. Poor chap. On Christmas Day, I mean really. He's been good all year.

I was interested in the Electric Chair it would certainly help me getting around, I phoned up to ask if it had been used latly he said it was not used for years, I said has it got a seat belt? He said No but its got two ankle straps and two wrist straps. and a heated Helmet. I had never heard of this modle So I am trying getting a lift there to see it, the place is in Wandsworth, he said go down the side of the school.

[PeckhamRose]

Ahem. "Widows"? MrPR would have an issue with that!

My wife is a multi forum widow ! we talk via Facebook/MSN/Blackberry only !

[brum]

Is EDF the new golf? Or motorbike? At least with this obsession wives can still keep an eye on their man...

[computedshorty]

Thank you dazie for your offer, but yesterday I had to take the Wheelie bin out to the footpath, I had the support of it over the solid ice to get it out there, but none to get bsck, I noticed the milkman had left six bottles of milk to get me over Christmas, I could only take three bottles at a time so I held those to my chest, then I went down with a bump on my back, I have dificulty in getting up any time but here I just could not get a grip esch time I tried my feet just slipped, the Bin men saw me and got me up, they said I looked like a tortiose on its back, I had to search for my glasses, I had cut the tips of two fingers, the milk had not broken open. I managed to get back to the house. I left it till later before going out to get the other milk and the bin back in, I noticed that where I had fallen had left a deiced patch so I must have been there some time. I had lost my cap so my bald head got really cold, I had an early night.

Did you not sprinkle some salt where you have to walk? I slipped on to my arse three times before this occured to me. If you do need a lift or some salt i am round the corner :)

[woofmarkthedog]

Or EDF spinsters & bachelors ?

A Happy Christmas card from Shorty

[ianr]

CShorty

Some/many of us will not have MS Publisher so cannot see your card.

It looks as if it may have contained a TIFF image. If so, can you post just the image file (.tif or whatever) without wrapping it up in a Publisher page?

[EDKiwi]

Here's ComputedShortys christmas card in pdf format, which may help.

Merry Christmas all.

It does help EDkiwi - thank you for that...I wouldn't know how! And Merry Christmas to you too. xx

Computedshorty - thank you for your lovely card...and a very happy Christmas to you too. Looking forward to more of your poetry and "fun and games" in the New Year. xx

In fact, while I'm here...Happy Christmas to everyone (I've no card though - sorry). xx

Oh, and special Merry Christmas wishes to Mark who created this Forum. xx

Umm - I am also a golf widow. That can't be fair. Although to be fair to the husband, he has been a complete star for the last 10 days since our 3rd baby (a boy, after 2 girls) was born and has become a full time housewife (with a bit of EDF in between times). We had a very rocky ride for a while and it all got quite scary.

I know this is not the place for sentimental comments but it's Christmas and I just want to say that I love him to bits and can't believe how well he has coped with everything that has been thrown him. (And I'll leave it to someone else to guess his identify!)

(and incidentally, it will be the baby, not the bin men, waking me up from now on!).

[Narnia]

We know who he is..........The Mighty Mick!Have a wonderful time......

[Narnia]

PS...he hasn't asked for a 'chair' for Christmas has he?

[PeckhamRose]

So? What happened? Tie him up did you? Buy the Adult Naughty Chair for him for Xmas?
