Quilty in our house! Although I think the main purpose will be to use Skype for catching up with some distant family members.

But if tv starts to bore, I'm sure there will be the odd moment searching around to see if anything interesting is happening in the wider world. I suppose it's not so very many years ago that traditional families were lamenting the arrival of that new fangled television in the corner of the room which was blamed for the downfall of traditional singing of songs around the family piano, but now everybody seems to spend their Christmas Day afternoon and evening slouched in front of it. An example of how technology changes habits I suppose. But I shall definitely not be trawling the internet sales on Christmas Day!

Dear Primrose, i will be having a look on here, just to see if there have been any funny mishaps. There could well be some here, as i'm helping in the kitchen this year. :shock: :)
We have already had a disappearing egg, that cook had put in a cup for brushing over some pie tops, well i didn't know she hadn't finished with it. :)
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

I will be checking my emails but other than that I will not touch it as we are off walking for the day (we don't do family Christmas on Christmas day) but we will be doing our family Christmas on Friday due to everyone elses committments.

I just checked my emails and then made myself switch it off :D

I didn't have any - so I might just as well not have bothered.
