the question is: to cheat or not to cheat?
Just make sure you are in charge of the bank, call yourself the NAB, and then you can explain away any cheating as "the fault of the computer"

I was as pleased as punch when somebody gave my kids Monopoly last year as a present.

It never crossed my mind that it would be the Italian version and all the street names are streets in Milan and the stations are just called North South East and West. My disappointment was palpable.

Just built a big Lego house on the floor with daughter. It took me 10 minutes to be able to stand up again. I must not sit on my knees on the rug for that length of time again.

Think I'll have a quick siesta now and then finish packing the cases. Off back to Old Blighty tomorrow so a very happy Christmas to all here xxxx I'm sure you need no encouragement to drink and be merry

Merry Christmas to you and yours Xx

If only ..... it's effing freezing here in Italy as well and we have snow on the ground - though nowhere near as much as the UK. I'm in the North of Italy - but even though it's definitely winter now, at least I know I am going to get a summer.

Happy Christmas to you and your loved ones too xxx
