Must have been rather unnerving for your Mum to see how quickly stuff can change! Glad your Dad's just in for a precaution now.

Nokkon: That's awful Can't imagine what it'd be like to see someone on fire Their poor family too

Cheets - sorry to hear that mate - I wish him a speedy recovery and hope that this time of the year isn't marred by upset.

Nokkon - crikey, I've seen some things in my life, but that would have been horrid

I hate that feeling I saw an old man fall down the escalators outside work last week and wanted to help but there was already 10+ people around him so I just carried on. You feel so helpless but there is nothing you can do in situations like that.

Hope you're ok though.

Jesus Christ Cheets & NokkonWud Really hope your Dad gets better extremely soon, Cheets. It can happen to anyone!

My Mum helped with the Christmas spirit yesterday and gave me a few bits to make decorations from, so I've done quite a nice wreath with cinnamon sticks, orange slices etc. on. I've also made myself a list of things to do this morning, so I don't just end up sat here for the next 3 days. Going to grab myself a shower and then do the food shopping before all the mothers and screaming kids get there! Ugh.

I've got one present to buy and a few to wrap, but otherwise sorted. Food's bought now, need a couple more bits but I'll get them tomorrow. Tree has been up for a few weeks now

One present is yet to arrive, the rest is wrapped. First Christmas away from home so I've escaped my Mum having THE FEAR.

"OMFG WHERES THE TURKEY"

"OMFG DO I HAVE ENOUGH VEG?!?"

"OMFG DO WE HAVE ANY GOOD CHRISTMAS MUSIC"

"OMFG I FORGOT THE CRACKERS"

"OMFG THE NEIGHBOURS HAVE BOUGHT US A PRESENT. QUICK, GET THEM OUT A TIN OF ROSES FROM THE EMERGENCY PRESENT BOX"

Yes, we have an emergency present box, containing several chocolates and sweets, wrapped and untagged ready to give to somebody who may surprise my Mum last minute
