It's New Year and interestingly there is 25% short order in the car industry as no-one wants a 2013 model apparently! We were going to party, but what family illnesses (yes illnesses.. the friend we were going out with tonight took a double heart attack and is in intensive care in a different hospital in N.I.) we are feeling it. Instead we will be going to Derry, Altnagelvin Hospital.
I know there are quite a few good people on here who believe in the power of God. When you are praying tonight please say a prayer for my sisters husband who is currently on life support in ICU. The power of healing prayer has worked so many times for different people and maybe they might help Derek who is currently in a coma. The medical team want the family to make the decision to turn of the machine in two days time :( and my sweet Sister is going crazy :(

Hi to those Friends I have made on this website, instead of sending christmas cards, well wishes and gifts this year I have decided to donate to a good charity instead. There is so much austerity going on in the world that on behalf of us all.. I just wanted to make a difference to at least one child's life this Christmas.. Below is an email I received from Action for Children.
Dear xxxxxx, Vampire Rave,
On behalf of everyone at Action for Children, I want to say a big thank you for donating £30.00 to our emergency Christmas appeal.
Your generosity means that we can provide vulnerable children and families with hot meals and essential emergency services this winter.
You can support us in many more ways too!
We've launched this emergency appeal because we want to reach as many families as possible before Christmas - your donation today is vital in helping us achieve this. However, by supporting us on an on-going basis we can continue to provide crucial services and work with these families throughout the year to help them improve their situation.
By donating just a small amount on a monthly basis, we could provide the following:
£5 a month could buy seven nutritious meals for a weaning baby
£10 a month could pay for a week's worth of meals for a hungry child
£20 a month could buy two weeks' worth of fresh fruit and vegetables for two hungry children
All you need to do is set up a direct debit with us, it's easy and the best way for you to help us work with those children who need us most. In return we will send you updates on how your support is changing the lives of vulnerable children and their families.
You can also help us with just a couple of clicks of your mouse!
Show your support for Action for Children and add our Twibbon to your Facebook or Twitter profile picture.
Spread the word about our emergency appeal on Facebook, Twitter or by email.

What a wonderful idea Pam ♥
I agree..a wonderful idea! You're just awesome Gemmi.
Another great cause. Can't do enough for the kids.
What a nice gesture and event! Kudos!
A beautiful way to honor the true meaning of this season be it Yule or Christmas or Hanukkah.
You are just too nice.
:)
What everyone else has said......a great idea from a wonderful person.
Awesome
Got up for work before sunrise this morning, and was there two hours later at 7.45 am. Think. that. sentence. is.all.telling. The agenda this evening after work 12 hours later was a nice full tub of hot water laced with Egyptian oils and a cold glass of Sauvignon. Thoroughly chilled. Smiles.. I was thinking of the mermaid during my selfish indulgence, but I found her tail a bit slippy to catch!
According to NASA we will all get to watch the New Season of, 'Game of Thrones' and that the end of world isn't really going to happen according to the Mayan calendar. Could it be that the Mayan's simply ran out of writing materials... Read about it here

I can definitely confirm it has nowt to do with Twinkies!!
Mushrooms perhaps :)
Yikes.. I got finished work early! This a first in a very long time. Maybe now I can do something about Christmas.. like putting the tree up, or buying cards to address!
Christmas seems a million light years away, what with Mum's hospitalisation and work running behind that I am beginning to think that nothing is going to get done in time this year :(
I still have the shopping to for some presents, the cards to write, get the tree up and decorations. Nothing Christmassy yet. My last day of work is scheduled for the 22nd December though, so it will give me three days :)

Don'cha just love the Xmas spirit! lol
Remember you can only do so much.
Just relax you will get it all it wouldn't be Christmas without all the hectic drama lol
You are the busiest person I know, you must be exhausted *super hug*
I carried out an audit today in a hotel which President Obama will be staying in during a summit in Northern Ireland next year. I was even shown one of the suites he 'could' be staying in. It's a hotel with several similar suites, and of course... I got to take some photos pfffft. :) David Cameron will also be there and all the other world leaders.
Unluckily they had a fire in the hotel in recent times, but fortunately it was not during the time our elected leaders were staying there! I went 'wow' when I seen the bathtub! It was so huge and had a two seats with jacuzzi, and built in flat screen tv! lol.. Looking up eBay now to see how much they are heh!!
COMMENTS
wow sounds like an awesome place to stay!
If you've been a good girl and sent your list off to Santa ... who knows!! lol
Poor Mum.. On top of her worries, she has now broken two ribs! And whilst she was under care in hospital. Now, how could that of happened? Scratches head...
COMMENTS
did she fall and they didnt tell you
That's a thought... I can be so naive at times that I wouldn't think they could hide that. I will ask them. :)
That's not a good sign. You really need to pin them to this one.
WTF?
How did this happen? Seems to me that the hospital in very negligent!
I pray that she heals well!
Depending on her bone density, it might be that lifting her could do that....esp if she is heavy and they lifted her around her chest area.
But regardless, I hope she gets better soon.
What? O.O ????
??????? :(
I am going up to the hospital tonight, and ready for my investigation into all of this. Thanks for your thoughts..

It seems to be the thing as we grow older where there are more sad occasions than happy ones.
You are a brick to your family and your sister will need you around till she settles somewhat.
As far as a happy New Year is concerned I guess I will wish you good health for a better year ahead.
