So here it is. We are in December. Oh boy will I be glad to see the back of this year. But its had its moments like every year does I suppose. Winning 100 quid on a scratchcard and being able to splash a bit of cash online shopping was nice.

Now as for you lot. You've really excelled yourselves over the last 12 months and kept me going and for that I thank you all. I can't do individual shout outs cos everyone has been marvellous in their special ways. I love being part of an online community like this. In the words of Craig Revel Horwood you're all Fab U Lous darlings.

Enjoy your December. Especially Christmas. As best you all can in these times. Lots of love and hugs.

Kate xxxx

I'll add a festive song in a minute. :lovedup:

Ariana Grande - Santa Baby

What a year this has been, I think we have all lurched from hope that 2020 would be "our year" at the start of January, a new decade etc to absolute horror at how the year unfolded. It has been the weirdest, hardest year that I can remember (and I'm old so can remember loads of rubbish years).

People call this forum toxic and at times it is but at other times its a bit of escapism for us all, friendships are made, people have made me laugh out loud this year at times when not a lot else did so THANK YOU for that.

This Christmas will be very different for us all but we've made it through and there is hope now for things returning to normal at some point next year so I personally want to wish you all a Merry Christmas. Have a good time with whomever you spend it with......laugh and eat your body weight in chocolate and goodies :laugh:

December 3rd 2020

2020 a year no one will be sorry to see that back of and will certainly go down in history not least for scenes of empty toilet roll aisles.

I guess it has shown us in stark terms how quickly our lives can change and how we should not take anything for granted, and at some points it has shown us the worst in people but also the very best and how resilient we are, the number of people who signed up to volunteer to help those shielding, the fundraiser by Captain Tom, the much debated doorstep clap for the NHS which was nice and gave neighbours the opportunity to engage from a distance before it was politicised but it's 2020 so everything is left and right, we got used to queueing for food, and used to seeing empty pasta and flour shelves and we got over it and by the time lock down 2 came, most people were yeah I can do this, and we did with minimum fuss.

and now it looks like we can see a way out, so hang in there, have a Great Christmas socially distant if you must, not worth risking it now, and we look forward to 2021 and a more 'normal' life eventually

[Crimson Dynamo]

I am not marking this down as a good year and it has not been easy work or relationship-wise. This poem I feel is appropriate..

In Memoriam, [Ring out, wild bells]

Alfred Lord Tennyson - 1809-1892


Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,
The flying cloud, the frosty light:
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.

Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.

Ring out the grief that saps the mind
For those that here we see no more;
Ring out the feud of rich and poor,
Ring in redress to all mankind.

Ring out a slowly dying cause,
And ancient forms of party strife;
Ring in the nobler modes of life,
With sweeter manners, purer laws.

Ring out the want, the care, the sin,
The faithless coldness of the times;
Ring out, ring out my mournful rhymes
But ring the fuller minstrel in.

Ring out false pride in place and blood,
The civic slander and the spite;
Ring in the love of truth and right,
Ring in the common love of good.

Ring out old shapes of foul disease;
Ring out the narrowing lust of gold;
Ring out the thousand wars of old,
Ring in the thousand years of peace.

Ring in the valiant man and free,
The larger heart, the kindlier hand;
Ring out the darkness of the land,
Ring in the Christ that is to be.

[AnnieK]

What lovely messages Kate, Annie, Cherie and LT....

[Dogeatdog]

Some lovely messages in here :love: I’ll have mine up soon.

[Dogeatdog]

Merry Christmas everyone!!

I’m going to keep this short and sweet. This has definitely been a crap year for a lot of us and nothing positive has happened for me personally this year although there were some funny moments. Working in retail during March and being the person to drag the toilet roll cage into the shop in the mornings whilst having a conga of customers following you was pretty amusing and it was nice to be able to drive to work without having to worry about traffic everyday :laugh:.

It has been very worrisome however, the unpredictability of how dangerous this virus could be and the way we haven’t been able to see our relatives or friends for some time has saddened me greatly.

I am struggling what else I’d like to add but one thing that I would like to say however, is that I send my deepest condolences to anyone on here and their families that has been affected by Covid 19. I can imagine that some of us have had a truly horrific year and it has been very difficult mentally for all of us to try and stay strong for one another and our families. I can only hope that 2021 is the beginning of restoring some normality again.

So again Merry Christmas everyone, I hope that 2021 will bring us all more positivity and it has been great to be a part of Tibb during this troubling time.

I’ll leave you all with a Christmas song and (like last year) a short clip of one of my favourite TV Christmas episodes/ specials. :love:

Cheers everyone 🍻x

Gonna sort this now

[Denver]

This year has been the most random year ever and for all the bad points I found myself having so many good points, it was the year I finally found my full independence and branched out into my path of life completely on my own, life living alone has been for the most wonderful but it does leave me lonely sometimes when I don't have any face to face contact, this chrisas is my first living alone and the excitement of decorating was so real that I put my tree up a lot earlier then my family usually would. But to move away from my personal life and on to TIBB I've had such a good year from winning The Masked Singer and finishing 4th in TIBB Over The Top which was very unsuspected, so all said and done I do hope you all have a fabulous Christmas and a very happy and successful New year and I'll leave you with not one but 2 beautiful songs to enjoy

Well what a year this has been. Not just covid which has been devastating for millions of people but in other things too such as for me going jnto hospital for a eye injection gone wrong and my eye went bloodshot and lost my sight in one eye for a few weeks but now its come back also losing my grandma last month was tough too.This is starting to be a depressing message so ill try and finish it off with hope everyone on TIBB has the best Christmas that they can and hopefully 2021 will be a LOT better for everyone {Well it cant be any worse}

Ill end this with a video clip of last Christmas by Wham

Independence is the greatest thing...it’s tough sometimes but it’s also so rewarding. It’s not been the best year to make such a big move..but if you can get through this you can get through anything.
Happy Christmas and hopefully next year you will find your Independence more fulfilling.

[Ammi]

...Denver...:love:...I think that for all of us, we’ve had bad points and some awful points in 2020...but that you’ve also felt your great points/highlights so much and that they’re the ones that stand out most and have stayed with you and brought you joy...?...you know that the life decisions you’ve made were the perfect ones for you ...and as 2021 begins to change the world again, I feel that the changes you’ve made will start to feel more and more perfect...May your Christmas be filled with smiles, Adam... and may 2021’s journey be filled with wonderful experiences of you...:love:...

[Ammi]

...Becca...:hug:...I’m so very, very sorry for your recent loss...:hug:...there is nothing that I can say, losing those who inspire us in life is just so very, very difficult...but the wonderful lady she was is also a part of you and everything you are and that’s not something you’ll ever lose, what she gave you...and you’re pretty inspirational yourself...with all of your eye injections and what you go through in your life is just so not an easy thing, but you get through it all so tremendously...I’m glad that your vision is becoming clearer again and I wish you the very best Christmas that you’re able to feel...I know that you’ll feel sadnesses and low moments but I hope that you’ll have some smiles as well...be well, Becca...:hug:..

[Cherie]

How frightening to lose your vision...but how wonderful that you got it back. Its always so sad when we lose loved ones...raise a glass to her at Christmas.
Happy christmas

[Strictly Jake]

2020. It was a challenge.

So many sad things we were seeing on the news....the Bush fires, those poor Koalas! The sad passing of Caroline Flack, the racist police brutality, the protests. Then of course the pandemic.

It has been a sad and tough year but from all the sad things we learn a lot.

It has been life changing in some bad ways but it has changed life for the better in other ways.

One thing we have learnt is to be grateful for what we have. In an instant it can all be taken from us.

We have learnt to be grateful for our loved ones, our friends and our family. As nice as it is to have material things we have learnt that the most important thing in life is people. Oh how we have missed them. How we have missed hugging them.

But those that live with us one thing the pandemic brought to the majority of us was time. We got to spend time with those we live with.

We maybe learnt new ways to connect with those we couldnt see through virtual platforms. What a great skill to have.

We learnt to be grateful for the NHS.

I learnt to be grateful for the NHS for sure. This year they saved my wife and baby. It is at this time that I will take the time to reflect on that situation and how life can through unexpected challenges and how we can get through them.

I will put this in a spoiler as it is long and graphic. If you dont want to read you dont have to
The time came of the week of the due date of our third baby(or 5th if we include the early miscarriages) we were having another boy. It was a normal saturday we were eating lunch and everything changed so suddenly. My wife went bright red and fell on the floor in crippling pain. I rang the hospital who said to bring her straight in. My mum and dad rushed round to the house to look after the other 2 kids. When we got to the hospital the midwife told me I would have to wait in the car because of the covid situation. My wife text me to let me know they think its early labour and we would probably be going back home for now. Then 10 minutes later rang and said to come into the room. The midwifes informed me they were going to push things along. The midwife checked how much it was dialated and suddenly she had a shocked look on her face she pulled out her hand the glove was ripped and there was a lot of blood on it. Suddenly a lot of blood came gushing out of my wife, they put on the emergency sirens and lots of people rushed in and wheeled my wife away. This was all within 10 minutes of me being in the car to going in the room. I was left alone in the room staring at the blood on the floor not knowing what had happened. Later the midwife said that my wife was fine but asleep and that I can come and meet my son. It was an amazing moment but I was in a lot of shock so it was hard to enjoy it as much as I should have. Later I got to see my wife she was doing well despite a painful emergency C section. I was also able to go and see my son in the incubator room there were other babys and parents in there so I couldnt go in too many times. But my wife still hadnt got to see him. So I went in to him he had wired on his belly and on his face I wont forget how painful it was to see they told me I can hold his hand I held his hand and said it was going to be okay. That moment I wasnt sure it was I was still in shock and I struggled to understand the nurse. I was told he had swallowed a lot of blood and the wires were to help him breath and they were doing observations. I took that to mean he wasnt going to survive I tried to hold it together the best I could the more information I was being told the more it wasnt processing in my mind. I turned to another nurse that had come into the first room to check how I was and told me I could meet him. I asked her "is he going to survive" she told me he will and it was at that moment I broke down yes because of all the shock but also because my wife and baby were ok. I was sent home not long after and wouldnt be allowed back to the hospital for a couple of days after. Once they got back home my wife was still in pain obviously so I had to deal with 3 kids, a 5 year old a 3 year old and a newborn and a poorly wife. My family werent able to come round so I had to learn to grow up. I did. I dealt with it all fine. It taught me so much and the lockdown gave me that time I needed to be wih them. Im so grateful for them and so grateful for the NHS!

Im pleased to report Henry is now 8 months old. He is crawling. He is boisterous and cheeky. He is adorable!

I will post this song as it speaks volumes about what I talked about

So in conclusion life throws it's challenges at you but once you are through them it makes you stronger.

I will be a lot more cheerful and xmassy on the 24th for my next advent message but I wanted to take some time to reflect on this one

The message overall is be grateful.


I will lift the mood now with the GOAT xmas tune!

Sorry I'm only just replying to the last 2 messages.

Becca. I'm so sorry for your loss. You're an amazing girl managing to do us such a heartwarming message considering the traumatic year you've had. Bless you love.

Jake. Thanks so much for sharing your story. I can only just begin to comprehend how horrendous it must all have been for you both at the time and afterwards. Thank goodness it turned out OK and your family are fine now. Christmas blessings to you all sweetheart. Xx

We lit the first candle on the Hanukkah menorah this evening. We included in our blessing thanks that we were lucky enough to be together, Alex and I, our children as well as my Parents and my Grandmother. We are also thankful for coming through this year unscathed while so many did not; and also for the armies of people who've gone above and beyond to keep us safe. Bless them all.

From my family to yours, have a peaceful and happy time during the eight nights of Hanukkah, a very Merry Christmas and we wish you all that you would wish for yourselves in 2021.

Hi tibblets.:wavey:

2 weeks to go eh! Where on earth did the time go?

For me I'm not celebrating xmas this year as I dont hink it's a wise move for me to go up to scotland to visit my family and even though I have had 2 invites for xmas day with friends down here im happy enough to just netflix and chill with myself on the big day. I have booked 2 weeks off in march to go visiting.


I sincerely hope each and every one of you has a great day on xmas day.

Ive spent over 10 yeara on tibb and have met some absolute crackers through it, I have my firm favs on here but I never ever wish bad will on any tibb member.

So I shall leave you with a few 2020 cracker jokes and bid you a good evening as I have some flowers to buy to lay them for someone special.



1 What is Dominic Cummings’s favourite Christmas song? Driving Home for Christmas.

2 Did you hear that production was down at Santa’s workshop? Many of his workers have had to elf isolate!

3 Why didn’t Mary and Joseph make it to Bethlehem? All Virgin flights were cancelled.

4 Why are Santa’s reindeer allowed to travel on Christmas Eve? They have herd immunity.

5 Why did the pirates have to go into lockdown? Because the “Arrrr!” rate had risen.

6 Why is it best to think of 2020 like a panto? Because, eventually, it’s behind you.

7 Why couldn’t Mary and Joseph join their work conference call? Because there was no Zoom at the inn.

8 Why can’t Boris Johnson make his Christmas cake until the last minute? He doesn’t know how many tiers it should have.

9 What do the Trumps do for Christmas dinner? They put on a super spread.

10 Which Christmas film was 30 years ahead of its time? Home Alone.

[Kate!]

Aww bless you Parmy :love: A nice warming christmassy message right here.

I cant spell hanukkah, but was In a right posh house the other day on clarence crescent in London..it had a blue plaque on it of a past Tennant who was a female author from years ago..a cheery young lass came knocking on the door to wish the elderly gentleman a happy hanuki..

There goes the tip, I thought.

I was right..

Sunday December 13th. Just after 2.30am

So I'm writing this in the early hours of Sunday morning and as usual I can't sleep. Here I am with today's message.

Everyone has been so great sharing their thoughts and experiences so far. I've decided to let you all in on the very worst thing that's happened to me in 2020. My son...the light of my life...decided to cut me off without a word of explanation back in April. He has deleted his Facebook so I can't contact him through that. I think he must have changed his phone as well. He has moved out of the house he shared with his girlfriend. They split up. I don't know how or where he is. Its not good at all. The only way I can do anything for him at Christmas is by putting money in his bank which I also did for his birthday in July.

I've managed to live my life largely due to the fact that I'm on medication for anxiety and panic attacks anyway so I'm coasting along with a lot of support from my friends and my boyfriend.

More in a minute...

Anyway I've already posted a Christmas tune in my December 1st message so I'll post a song now that really says it all about how I'm feeling. It's a song that makes me cry anyway. Always has done. I find it very emotional.

5SF6CFUONnc

Just finally want to say I love you all to bits. 12 days till Christmas and counting. Have a great time one and all. Xx

Luv Kate xx

I'm back. Couldn't leave it without finishing with another Christmas tune. In the spirit of the thread.

Here it is....

...Kate...:hug:...you are doing and have done all that you can do...he’s obviously had a difficult/painful year too and has a path to follow, to find you again...believe that it will happen and that he’ll see the person who loves him, when he’s ready...:hug:...

[Ammi]

...Kizzy, I think that I missed yours, so sorry...a perfect message and a perfect song from...well, a perfect President...?...

This is a rhyme(ish) about COVID...
Because 2020 has been so loaded...
everything we touched was virus coated...
And anti-bac wipes, we needed to erode it...
So they were what we all voted...
the panic buy item of 2020, we noted...
On Zoom we regularly off-loaded...
While between meals we snacked until we exploded...
Let’s not sugar coat it...
2020 has been a year that we don’t want re-loaded...
Yet to TiBB, we all stayed devoted...
Because our bonds and friendships are bigger than COVID...
Redway did a poll and we all voted...
To any other forum, we couldn’t be goaded...
No matter how many times we were misquoted...
We worked through our COVID era together and we posted...
We all told Boris to shove it...
And we even managed a TiBB wedding as Capt Remy finally did it...
So let’s all sit back and let’s float it...
And have the best Christmas that we’re all able to have with those closest...
With much love...xxx...



...this isn’t a Christmas song as such but Joni is my heart and soul always and I’ve listened to her so much this year...:love:...

[rusticgal]

Here I am....


I'm useless on Computers
I can't download a thing..
So a poem I have written you
To make up for my fail-ing :laugh:

For every single one of us
Its been a tricky year..
We will really have to dig quite deep
To find our Christmas cheer.

But we have to rise above it
Its not a massive sacrifice,
We all must do what we must do
To save a human life.

For those of us that come on here
We enjoy a good debate..
No one is right, no one is wrong..
Its opinion...not Hate :laugh:

If I could only download a carol
Little Drummer Boy it would be..
Performed by the classic duo
of Bowie and Crosby...

So off I go to have a slice
of my delicious birthday cake...
And I want to wish each one of you
A wonderful Christmas break...:cheer2:

HAPPY RUSTIC CHRISTMAS...

Thanks everyone....:love:


...and thanks Ammi and Cherie for downloading..xx

Here I am....


I'm useless on Computers
I can't download a thing..
So a poem I have written you
To make up for my fail-ing :laugh:

For every single one of us
Its been a tricky year..
We will really have to dig quite deep
To find our Christmas cheer.

But we have to rise above it
Its not a massive sacrifice,
We all must do what we must do
To save a human life.

For those of us that come on here
We enjoy a good debate..
No one is right, no one is wrong..
Its opinion...not Hate :laugh:

If I could only download a carol
Little Drummer Boy it would be..
Performed by the classic duo
of Bowie and Crosby...

So off I go to have a slice
of my delicious birthday cake...
And I want to wish each one of you
A wonderful Christmas break...:cheer2:

HAPPY RUSTIC CHRISTMAS...
Love it ! And Merry Christmas!

Here is my Xmas message to you all.

A message to Tibb in the last month of the year
Its been a not so good one , with lots to fear
but a New Year is soon to come
and 2020 will soon be done,
A vaccine is looming to lift the gloom
hoping we get back to normal very soon,
So I wish you all well and lets all smile
We are Tibb and will go out in style.
A happy Christmas to each and every one
A great year is about to come.
