General Chat

I got tissues at the ready!!! :-\

I put my hand on her arm. 'Are you all right?' I said. She turned to me and smiled. Yes I am fine and thank you for your help, but they are very nice here and have found me a room'... I noticed she had a credit card.

Well, I'll be honest with you, I was relieved!

But.....I was left wondering how she would get on, and what she had put in the heavy suitcase and if she went back to her husband, and how things must have been awful for her to leave on such a wet, dismal night.



The End

I saw that pud looked real scrummy, but as I still have last years will pass on that one.

Gawd BC...............do get on with it!! :-0

well????????????????????????

...I saw she had entered a rather posh (for the area) hotel and my heart sank again as she looked so upset and dishevelled and what with the buggy and the huge suitcase, I felt the receptionist would refuse to take her in.

So, heaving a big sigh as at this stage I knew that I would have to take her home and find some space for her, so I dragged my wet dog through the Hotel door and went up to where the woman was standing at the reception area.....

go on. go on!

...the tears were rolling down her face. 'I have just left my husband' she cried and my heart sank. A vision of Mary and the baby Jesus having nowhere to go, and it being Christmas and everything flashed before my eyes. I was on the point of telling her she could have a bed for the night when I remembered I had a lodger.

So I held her arm and told her I was sorry. And I watched as she walked off in the rain.

So I stood for a while, the rain pouring down, the dog bewildered, when

Well, said I, there are hundreds of them around but it's better if you dont go that way *pointing....and stick to this way *pointing again.

Did I say it was pouring rain?

Thank you she said politely and tried to cross the road with cars coming from all directions, but what with the buggy and the huge suitcase, she was struggling. `So...let me help you, I said and she said thanks so much.

So when I took the suitcase....well it nearly knocked me over it was so heavy, and what with the dog on the other side, wondering what was going on, it was no easy thing, I can tell you.

Well when we got to the other side of the road, she turned to me and

BCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

** nods off **

Do go on

in a slightly east Eurpopen accent. 'Excuse me madam, but do you know of any clean hotels where I could get a room?

Did I say she had a baby in a buggy and an enormous suitcase?

No, Miss Smarty, but I have had an encounter last night. It is a bit sad but I will tell you if you have a spare moment? Anyway, I was walking my dog along that big long street where the buses go?

And this woman came towards me........she could have been twenty or she could have been forty. You know one of those faces. Well, she said to me

Have u seen the score BC ;-)

Are you snowed in BC by any chance **giggles**

for the Christmas hangover

BC that is really interesting! I remember when I was young my mum used to fry pudding, and I never asked why, if it's an Irish thing maybe she learned to do it from my grandfather's side of the family.

Hayley...You will be so proud of me......I have gone three solid days and nights without a drop passing my lips. I am totally detoxicated, dessicated, and ready for a right good boozup in Ireland.... :-D

Yes you do have the hangover BC....... :-|

Sheila, it is just great for a hangover...we have it every year in Ireland..the fried pudding I mean, not the hangover.....lol..... :-D
