Boring Time Of The Year

[steve_o]

Doesn't this time of the year just do your head in, it does me. We have December which is all rushing around, Christmas, with family and friends, New Year with plenty of drink, then wham straight into boring freezing cold January, and a credit card bill, don't you just love it, what an anti climax. Mind you looking on a brighter note, it does get lighter day by day, and will soon be spring again. Yippie:elephant::dazzler::dazzler::elephant: Lets hope it's a great summer and I can wear my shorts longer than a day all summer.:shocked::laugh::thumbs:

:spin2:

[Boris]

Hate to worry you steve but if you wear shorts then I too will be wearing mine and that is enough to send the sun back in !!!!!:hugesmile::shocked::hugesmile::shocked::huge smile::shocked::hugesmile::shocked:

Sounds like someone is having their post Christmas let down

As I do not llike the season anyway, I am immune.

I have this sense of euphoria as we are glas to see the back of it :hello::dance:

[WILDCHILD]

I know exactly how you feel steve_o. I am so bored, I just don't know what to do with myself.
I have no money to go out with my friends because it was all spent partying and present buying at christmas. Work looms over the wkd so thats my wkd done and dusted.
And then to top it off, on Monday Im back to school with the warm welcome of EXAMS!!!!:bawling::devil::bawling::devil::bawling:

[Mairi]

I know what you mean too, Steve but, as you say, Spring will soon be here.

Today, I bought my first pot of hyacinths (blue ones this year) and am looking forward to seeing them flower and fill my kitchen with their beautiful scent.

I love Spring, I do.

As if you needed that excuse, Janette! :laugh::laugh::laugh:

I love my haggis, neeps and tatties on Burns night - eaten after reciting 'To a Haggis' dressed in full Highland regalia (as if!!) and followed by a few 'wee drams'. Lovely. :thumbs:

Hi Steve. :wavey:

Twelfth Night is actually January 5th so you don't have to take your decorations down until tonight.

:colour:

[WILDCHILD]

Non-one in my family can be bothered to take them down - theres so much stuff. The rate we are going, they will still be there next year!:joker:

[Feebs]

Well mine are all down now and, as usual, the house looks really bare, empty and.....arghh.....DUSTY!

:blush:Well...who's got the patience to pick up all those cards to dust underneath!

[LEE]

I took all mine down today as well and I agree Feebs doesn't everything look bare.

btw I'm so glad you're back I've missed your gorgeous avatar :hugesmile:

:flower:

[Mairi]

I'm glad you're back too, Feebs. Where have you BEEN all this time?

Oh and I certainly didn't have the patience to dust under the cards either so I've HAD to polish today. :blush:

[Kaz]

Welcome back, Feebs. :wavey:

Great to see the lovely David Boreanaz gracing the forum again. :love:

Tree, decorations and cards all taken down today - although I'm sure I'll be picking up bits of tinsel for many weeks to come! :laugh:

[Feebs]

Thanks for the warm welcome back:wavey:

I love this time of year. I know that it seems quiet after the rush of Christmas but it always fills me with a warm feeling about the year to come.

One of my 'good intentions' (I'm too old for resolutions!!) is to POST MORE! So hopefully you'll all be seeing a lot more of my gorgeous avatar!:colour::colour:

[WILDCHILD]

Nice to see you back on the board Feebs, its never nice when memebers run away!:laugh:

[steve_o]

Don't know why really:thumbs:but I think this tread needs bringing back into play. Anyone else bored, pity there's no interesting programmes on at the moment to talk about. God I hate this month it's so bloody frustrating.:shocked::conf:

:sleep:

[sweetlittlesara]

God I hate this month it's so bloody frustrating.


Especially when you have exams!!! :shocked: :shocked::shocked:

[steve_o]

Sorry everyone, for being such a selfish grump lately.:blush:I realise people have got exams and things coming up, it would probably be nice to bored without having to think and worry about those.:conf:Anyway enough said.:blush:

here's a smile for a change :spin:

:spin2:

[Mairi]

It's a New Year, Steve.

New Year, New Start.

Keep Smiling.

[Sticks]

New Year
New Starts
New Foul ups

[Mairi]

Stop it, Sticks. :nono:

THINK POSITIVE!!

:colour::colour::colour:

[Sticks]

I'm positive
there will be new foul ups ahead :laugh:

[Boris]

I don't 'HATE' this time of year but what it brings:

The dark start and finish to every day

The rotten journeys up and down the motorway [M6!] Mon to Fri- YUK.

The being stuck indoors with no playtime day after day. No I don't go out to play but I accompany those that do and have to deal with the horror that NOT going out produces!

I could go on - but I won't.

I wil try to think possitively too.

Spring is coming.....eventually


:flower::flower::flower::flower::flower:

[steve_o]

thought I'd bump this one up, back to the top for the fun of it.:thumbs::laugh:

As I'm bored again.:shocked::thumbs:

Where is everyone?:conf:

[Boris]

[steve_o]

Bump again, for the fun of it, and springs nearly here at last the weathers getting better. Those months since I last posted this have gone pretty quick. :dance:

[Kaz]

What's your mood now then, Steve? :conf:

Better I hope . . . . . . *whistles 'Always Look on the Bright Side of Life' encouragingly!* :love:

[Janette]

It's not much better weather here! I still had to de-ice the car this morning!!!!!!


:mad:

[James]

Today was the first day of the year when I had the feeling that winter had to come to an end.

Based on the weather where I am anyway...

[WILDCHILD]

I cant wait til the summer!!!!

http://www.handykult.de/plaudersmilies.de/natur/sunny.gif

[steve_o]

Neither can I, I hope it's a good one like the summer of bb2 with lots of sunbathing and nice bikinis.:spin2::dazzler:

I can grrrr summer stresses me out.

[WILDCHILD]

How can anyone be stressed out by summer?
If anything it should be the horrible wet and windy weather - not the goegeous days on the beach!:bouncy::flower::bouncy:

[sweetlittlesara]

Why does everyone catagorise Summer as good weather? I think that the cold snow is good weather.

Winter- I love the feeling when you are so cold that you cant feel your fingers and you have your gloves and hats and coats on, then you go inside and its nice and warm and you feel the tingles in your fingers. Going to sleep at night with the covers wrapped snuggly around you. At school with everyone talking huddled around the radiators. Going outside with the rain and running around and getting wet. I love it! Looking out the window at how beautiful the snow is.

Summer- its too hot and sweaty. You cant sleep at night when its too hot. You wear less clothes when its hot showing your body to the world. Believe me thats not a nice sight on me.

[WILDCHILD]

I've got to admit I do like winter. It seems I love summer when its winter and vice versa - I want one when Ive got the other.
I do like the cosy nights in by the fire and the hot water bottles in bed but I do love my summer, I always feel so happy in the summer when me and my mates get the BBQ out and go up on the Hoe swimming.
I love them both!:colour::dance::colour:

[peachy]

I'm feeling much happier now March is here. I really do dislike January and February, dark and miserable, Christmas long over and the summer a distant prospect, BUT come March, nights are a little lighter, the sun comes out at least some days, the daffodils and other spring bulbs are coming into bud in the garden and I feel better. Hurrah for March and thoughts of Spring.

[BusyBee]

My favourite time of the year is Autumn. I love it when the leaves change to those lovely colours.

I must also admit to the fact that I ABSOLUTELY love walking through all the fallen leaves and making that rustling noise. I really never have grown up.

The only thing that beats this is fresh fallen snow when its all crisp and you make footmarks in the virgin snow. Unfortunately not even seen a snowflake this year:bawling::bawling:

[Mairi]

I'm with Peachy. I absolutely adore Springtime.

There's nothing to beat seeing those hosts of golden daffodils!!

:hello:

[Sticks]

don't forget, on the last Saturday / Sunday of March the clocks go forward 1 hour and you loose an hour in bed :sleep:

(29th/30th for this year if you want to make a note in your Diaries :thumbs:)

[steve_o]

I can't wait for the clocks to go forward so I can get out and do some gardening and mess about with my car while it's light. :dance:

:spin:

[steve_o]

It's that time of the year again:bawling:Roll on Summer when it's nice and warm. :spin2: I hope. :thumbs:

:spin:

[BusyBee]

According to the long-term forecast we are going to have a long heatwave this year. :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

The only good thing about this time of the year is curling up on the sofa in front of a fire with a good book, watching a good programme on the tv, chatting to friends or listening to music. The only thing that makes it complete would be for snow to be falling outside. Ahhhhh
