LOVE IT ........!!!
I've watched it twice already and, erm, I've tweeted it too 'cos I think it's really funny.
:thanks:

[RoastLamb]

Thanks! Jibjab used to be free but you have to pay now. Didn't realize that until I'd already done all the photo manipulation. D'oh! And I forgot to put myself in the photo too. There was a Chippendales Christmas card but I was worried Linda might explode seeing as Rafa's been away for so long. ;)

[pabbers]

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year!!!

[Linda]

Thanks Fiona, that was great! :)


There was a Chippendales Christmas card but I was worried Linda might explode seeing as Rafa's been away for so long. ;)

What would be the point in seeing Rafa's face superimposed on someone else's body? When I can look at real pics of a shirtless Rafa anytime? :)

[pabbers]

Oh, RL, that is just BRILLIANT! You've chosen just the right photos for their heads too so they kind of fit in with the dance ambiance.

[RoastLamb]

Yes, it took me a long time to do the heads and I was determined to find a good photo of Andy smiling heartily. This one of him is just perfect.

:lol: Linda. But Rafa doing the Chippendale dance - a sight to behold.

[Golden Lady]

Fabulous RL, thank you so much!

Happy Christmas everyone :santa dance::candle::peekaboo:

Didn't get any books but I did get a gift certificate for amazon. Huzzah! GoldenEye was great - it was my daughter's first Bond movie ever and I think she quite liked it but thought it was "totally over the top". :lol: View to a Kill tonite methinks.

[hfwardhouse]

Aw that's fabulous news ljs - my cousin's daughter got engaged on Christmas eve too - my cousin rang Mum last night to tell her ... but of course we already knew thanks to Facebook!!!

[LC the fan]

Delighted with your news LJS

Happy (and healthy) New Year to all Andy fans. Thanks for being there to share the emotional roller coaster and the wonderful successes of 2012. It wouldn't have been the same without you all. :happy new year:

Wishing Andy an even more successful 2013 :cheer:

[banskogirl]

my oldest son & his girlfriend got engaged yesterday ... yayyyyyyyyyyyyyy :)

That's lovely ljs :) and exciting!

[Golden Lady]

Lovely and exciting news for you ljs, congratulations!

I would like to wish you all a very happy, healthy & prosperous new year. I also want to say how much this forum means to me, even though I haven't managed to post much lately. On Friday evening, a family member (distant thankfully) was less than kind about Andy, deliberately to wind me up. Husband said my response was strong & showed how little this person actually knew about sport. It hurt but it made me so glad to know that there is a place I can come to, where I can say how much Andy & his tennis means to me so freely without prejudice. Thank you everyone, have a wonderful new year!

Which day are we meant to remove our Xmas decorations by?

[Sallydaisy]

Tomorrow.

[supergran]

Which day are we meant to remove our Xmas decorations by?Traditionally in the UK tomorrow. As various European countries celebrate on the 6th January their decorations stay up much longer.:candle::xmas large::xmas2: I hate taking mine down as I love them so much.:happy new year:

[cazza99]

:thanks: but isn't it unlucky to keep them up longer?

[Sallydaisy]

:thanks: but isn't it unlucky to keep them up longer?
I think that's an old wives tale ...
;)

The Queen keeps hers up until the middle of February at Sandringham.

[RoastLamb]

Im taking mine all down tomorrow. Last night for the lights tonite. So sad when I see the empty spaces tomorrow night.

[Linda]

Our previous vicar always said they should stay up until Candlemas (mid February). So I was shocked today to see the tree in church being taken down. Must ask the new vicar why. I will be taking my few decs down tomorrow afternoon.

[pabbers]

Traditionally in the UK tomorrow. As various European countries celebrate on the 6th January their decorations stay up much longer.:candle::xmas large::xmas2: I hate taking mine down as I love them so much.:happy new year:

Am tempted to follow the Royle (no, not Royal) family and leave mine up all year!!

[ljs]

omgosh , I took mine all down Jan 2nd , and put the house back in order . Alot of people do leave them up till after the 7th of January here too

[hfwardhouse]

Mine are coming down tomorrow too-love my tree - will be sad to see it gone :crying:

And I have lovely candle holders and love having them out .... oh well!

[pabbers]

Today's the day :crying:

[Linda]

Right, I guess I'd better do it now then :sad:

[supergran]

I think that's an old wives tale ...
;)

The Queen keeps hers up until the middle of February at Sandringham.That's really interesting as when my daughter lived in South West Germany we noticed that people there kept them up until the beginning of Lent. Then they started to put up Easter decorations. The links with the German traditions of Christmas for the Royal family seem very strong.

[hfwardhouse]

All gone :crying:

[RoastLamb]

All gone :crying:

Same here. House feels so dark and sad. And empty.

[pabbers]

:crying:

[ljs]

Cheer Up ladies , Valentines Day is just around the corner :lol:

[hfwardhouse]

:lol: and that's supposed to cheer me up?!

[ljs]

of course Jane . you can redecorate with Valentine stuff :rolling: and dont forget the heart candles

There is an apartment building near me , and they leave the tree up all year long in the lobby , and just redecorate it for whatever season comes along :facepalm:

[Nina]

Then I'm happy
Orthodox Christmas today and a old styled new year in 14th :)
