No, mine are 20 and 22 , no grandchildren.

Have you had the last 'tidy up' of your garden for 2008?

Not usually because we are too full up. We do on Boxing Day because its a lighter meal.


Have you any really young children staying for Christmas?

Not really , but my sister did an X pud one yr that was beautiful.

Do you like to have a cheese board with your meal on Christmas day ?

luckily I live on a main road and bus route through the village so the council are pretty good at gritting the road and they get round to the paths around 10ish.

Do you like Christmas pudding?

I opt now, for pressies, give daughter a family list and leave it to her. We don't have the same tastes as 20 and 22 yr sons and daughters. I hate waste of money and disappointed faces! She enjoys the shopping and usually comes up with the goods. She's done loads already.
I buy all food but will not be going near a store within 3 days of Xmas !

When there is snow forecast do your council grit regularly?

No snow but lots of heavy rain.

Are you an organised, plan ahead Christmas shopper or do you leave it to the last minute?

have bought 2 pairs for my daughter and 2 pairs for my grandaughter age 1.Might buy some for 4yr old grandaughter this week.

Yes.....we do manage it most of the time..(especially since I've been off work)

I Inherited original b,m,d certs of grand parents on both sides from my parents Have loads of paper work, disorganised but in my way ,lol
I took an interest in family history a few yrs ago before joining GR.
Dad died 4 yrs ago aged 90 and had been in contact with his cousins of similar age, so I have all his notes to refer to. My only surviving relative, maternal aunt is 88, very compus mentis: I try not to nag her too much, but she can broaden my tree, because her aunt married my fathers uncle - hence dad and surviving aunt have the same cousins ! and I can spread the twiglets so to speak !!
