So you want a spade and pick axe for the aunt and uncle then, Bob.

Spade & Pick, would be useless where Bob lives, ground is rock hard this time of year. Cement boots & hope the river is not frozen over.

I want my Mum in Law to just sit quietly with us for moments on end and not think that she must fill any and all silence with inane chatter about random crap (Hubby, his 4 brothers, and their wives and children wish the same thing).

I wish Gloucester, and England in general, were better prepared for all this snow so that we could get out and about instead of being trapped in this hell hole I call my Mum in Law's house.

Furthermore, I hope Heathrow gets sorted so we can get the hell outta Dodge next Wednesday.

I don't sound bitter or anything do I?

(Can I just say that the least taxing part of our trip back to Blighty so far has been the 10 hour flight to get here?)

Oh, and I want peace on Earth too...

sorry, I don't wish to be negative, just new to this town (Denver) with no family and noone to spend the holidays with.

Alas, the new year is just around the corner, and things can only go up from here.

Happy Holidays everyone.

Can't help you with the snow, I'm in the same boat here in Gloucester (although, DH and I were just a bit excited to see some blue sky). However, I am known far and away for my packing skills. DH and I will be (hopefully!) on our way back to California via SFO next week if you want to stow away; and, I was in the midst of planning my own wedding 3 years ago when my DH came over on a K-1.

Any questions I can answer for you?

I think getting out and about would still put you in the hell hole of Gloucester!

I'd like a week off work and a raise. Then another week off just to recover from the first one. I'd also like to see my dad again (been 3 years), and for him to see his granddaughter while she's still a baby.

I'd like my son to get a working pair of ears, and to try to keep his bedroom clean for more than 5 minutes.

A huge whopping great pile of cash would do the trick really, we'd all be happy then

Gosh, Bob, I don't blame you! I'd be more than mad if someone had told my little one something like that. Hopefully they'll keep they're gobs shut and you guys can have a great Christmas!

Yup, plus you get to bust out the "Santa only comes to good boys and girls" when they are up to no good!
