Merry Christmas all xx

Just finished Punisher. Now ploughing through Daredevil. Far better than that godawful Arrow.

As some know I am a bit of a Luddite. However my son bought me a Fire stick for my 50th and I am loving it. I have binge watched Preacher, Stranger Things and Travelers. So to cut to the chase. What do you guys recommend for Prime and Netflix?

I turned 50 the other week and at long last I have my over 50's life plan from Sunlife. I even have a pen. ;-)

Things are going well for me at the moment. I am on the right tracks with my anxiety/panic attacks. I managed a visit down to Nottingham and last month I went down to visit my youngest in St Albans. I am having a party as well for my 50th in November and I am going to approach the DWP with the idea to get back to work or study but very slowly. Youngest has started her first year at uni studying music and I have 2 others that have started their final year, one in Game Design which he really enjoys. All in all I can't grumble which makes a pleasant change for me ;-)

My daughter plays the guitar and is about to move on to playing it at uni. I was adamant with her that she gets at least a couple of hours with a teacher and it seems to have worked. edit to add: That's 2 of my kids doing music. 1 doing Music Tech and the other Music Performance. Another is doing Game Design which draws off the music field (the use Reason)

If you stay for litter be prepared for the atmosphere to change. It is relentless work and the mass majority of workers had not been at the festival and the emphasis is on work. It is an extremely busy time as most people are packing up and just wanting to get home.

Over Christmas we got adopted by a cat. We have called him Ian. Ian doesn't like been bitten or farted on.

Have that at Alton Towers and you would make a mint. As long as people have their flying legs on

I watched Westworld the other day. Fucking immense is all I can say about it.

After years of turmoil I have had my youngest staying over for Christmas. It's been 10 years and she has grown up but it was still great having four of them for a meal. Thanks to everyone for the support you have given me over the years.

The over riding thing I have learnt is not to hold grudges. At various times someone is not talking to me but I always keep the door open. If we have a spat it is usually forgotten the next day. Life really is too short. I kicked my daughter out last year. It was the hardest thing I have ever done but when she got a council bedsit I went over and wired her cooker in and did other bits and bobs. I can't think of any situation that would ever stop me talking to them.

Some parents just seem to be natural twats. I had an awful time with my mother. An example of her warped mind was in relation to my grandmother. They stopped talking to each other so we were forbidden to talk to her. We would get a good hiding if my mother found out which was particularly difficult as we only lived 5 doors away. Crazy times.

I have had my youngest daughter to stay. After all the years of crap it is an absolute joy. She is now 17 and after 10 years of shite there seems to be some form of normality
