The Great Escape
I met Danny today, haven't seen him or Marlene in ages. So, how was Christmas Dan? I never saw a bit of you, and not a decco in sight. Big change from last year.

Perfect Christmas
Are all my Perfect Christmases in the past?
Away in a manger
The lads are giving it some welly across the road but it's still a building site, with diggers arriving and skips leaving throughout the day.

Dear Diary
Yes, I've started writing in my diary again. Well, it's a new one. I found my old ones in a box in the attic when I was up looking for uncle Fester. Yeah, I know; I did ask Jimmy to look for him, but he didn't bother his hole. Don't get me started. Anyway, once … Continue reading Dear Diary
