I would just like to say...........

When the clocks strike midnight
Bringing a brand new day
Let us raise our glasses
And all begin to say

Here's to the bright New Year
And a farewell to the old;
Here's to things that are yet to come
And the memories that we hold.

To all the members of GR
And all who you hold dear
I send my wishes near and far
For a Healthy,Happy New Year

That is really lovely, Mau. Was just thinking of you as I hadn't seen you around.. Wishing you and OH all the very best for a brand New Year. XXXX BC :-) <3

<3 love it Mau, and a very Happy New Year to you.

I was just trying to write something for the group, but I fear it was depressing in the extreme so I shall start again ;-) and probably not mention new year in it at all!

Rose xx

Go on Rose, I just love reading depressing stuff! :-D ;-) <3

Here’s to anew year on GR
Lets celebrate with clout
Bring the positives in
And keep the negatives out…..


Best wishes to you all :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Not THIS depressing BC lol, happy New Year though ( I hate New year :-| I feel about it like some do about Christmas )

Happy New Year Hayley :-D

Thank you all :-D

Lovely to see you too BC and hope you had a great Christmas and many hugs from your adorable grandchildren <3

I've just finished a 'memory' for the group Rose...hard isn't it not to get too maudlin at this time of year :-)

Thank you Lesley and Wend :-)

Hayley have a marvellous holiday lucky yoo ;-)

I have no feelings whatsoever about New Years Eve. I always think it is a false kind of celebration, when people think they SHOULD be out there partying! On the other hand I find it helpful for recharging batteries, new beginnings, plans etc etc

I shall be a little sad to see the end of this year as it has been such a wonderful one and I feel the old Universe has been very kind to me. May his benevolence continue in bucketloads in the New Year.... for me and you and yours.. <3 <3 BC XX

I think I know what you mean BC....well now anyways. but I did like a new year party me ;-) hope your batteries are always well charged me dear and life continues to be swell :-D... B sends his love as always and asks if you're watching your Team?.....ours didn't do well yesterday *sucks lemon*....

Will be thinking of you when I drink me Vodka under the tree......that drink did wonders for the feet,I was dancing with D and Dil at Christmas yeehaw! :-D

Mau XX <3

Nollaig, I'm so glad the year has been kind to you, you deserve it.
If you want depressing reading, I'll send you me bank statements LOL
I think this year for us has been the worst in living memory, in so many ways, but I look forward to 2012 with enthusiasm.
There are so many worse off than me, so I should not moan. The families of both Our Daff and Posh, and I learned that an old schooldfriend from over 60 years, has recently lost her husband.
My Best friend's husband, a normally fit ex-military man, has Cancer in three places. But she is very optimistic.
Yes, I have alot to be thankful for.
I didn't set out for this post to be a' downer'. What am I like.
Yes Hayley, I think you have mentioned your holiday, once or twice, and I hope you enjoy it.
And Mau, thank you for putting this thread up.
May I take this opportunity to wish yourself, and all the other GR Members

A Happy New Year.

A Happy New Year to all of you <3 <3 ;-) And Julia, get those knitting needles clacking :-D,I,m still awaiting the Bobble Hat. :-D :-D :-D**M**.

D'ya need a bobble hat for bed Merlin? ;-) :-)

Thanks Julia.....
I have lost dear lifelong friends this year and it's so hard to bear,but we must always remember the good times we had together.

Mau

A Happy and healthy New year to you all and thank for the poem Mau, very good.

I am very much hoping that 2012 will be better than 2011 for us as we lost too many friends this year. Healthwise we ourselves are fine but the year has ended with a kick in the rear end for our family with our daughter waiting to hear results so it is hard to be positive. However we are trying to be so.

We do usually stay up and drink in the New Year even on our own and this year will be no different. I like the thought of a new year, new start but have always thought it is a bit of an anti climax really. However if you are celebrating, have a great time.
:-) :-) :-)

Hi Ann and thank you

I do hope you and your family have a better year than last. I'd like to wish your daughter all the good luck in the world.
As you say it's hard to be positive but chin up and I sincerely hope everything turns out well for her.

Mau X <3

Yes, Mau, I forget to mention your lovely poem. Again, my very best wishes to you all for a happy and healthy 2012.

Julia, I'm going to be tucked up in bed early with me seed catalogues, which have been plopping through my letterbox over the past few days. Exciting, eh? :-D :-D :-D

Yes Wend., it is very exciting. We have our Christmas at the end of Jan., when the seed potatoes are in our favourite Garden Centre. I have hardly had the chance to go there this year, and I am getting 'withdrawl' symptoms. So roll on.
Have a lovely New Year, and all the best for 2012.

Julia in Derbyshire

Lovely poem :-D :-D
I am really hoping that 2012 is a better year for me and my family, the last 3 years have been awful so surely we are due a good one !!
Wishing you all a very happy and healthy New year, x
