It will take place on the 23rd, yes.  I doubt we would have much of an audience on New Years Eve !! 😂

WHAT!  I didn't win anything!  Obviously not being present at the draw makes no difference then.
I had a great time yesterday meeting a girl I haven't spoken to for 34 years. We got on really well and, although we had a couple of hugs, I'm not sure whether it will blossom into romance, I'll keep you informed if anything develops😕

Congratulations to all of you who won something, and especially to Luka. Something to take his mind of tennis, girls and cars (or Tennis girls in cars) Well done mate.

Thanks to all the regular faeces who kept Botty company in my absence, your input is so important.
Thanks again to Lee for giving all these lovely prezzies away.
See you all again on the 23rd of December.

Definately!  If you knew what kind of a day I had today, you'd know why I put that!
Started off this morning, I had a driving test that was likely to be cancelled due to frost, the lass was in a terrible state.
Just half an hour before I left the house to pick her up, my son Jimmy came round with his fiance. He had been up all night feeling ill and informed me that his faeces was black!  I straight away thought blood and sent him straight to the doctors. They sent him in an ambulance to the A and E. I still had the girl's driving test to do, but shot off to the hospital straight after. It turns out that his hemaglobin (sp) levels were fine, so it was unlikely to have internal bleeding, and more likely a viral infection. Waiting for an Xray at the mo.
On Saturday, I had spent the whole day up the ladder in Arctic conditions, putting Christmas lights all around the outside of my house, all ready for switching on today, 1st Dec.
When I got home from the hospital I went up in the loft to switch on, but the timer had no display so I couldn't. Instead, I pulled the timer to bits to locate the lithium battery. Bearing in mind that it was not user-fixable and had no screws, I did a good job of pulling it apart but sadly snapped the battery off the circuit board.
Never mind, I'll solder two bits of wire to the board then to a spare watch battery which was also 1.5 volts. Mistake!
The battery blew up in my face!
Luckily I wear glasses, but got black slimy stuff all over my face, the floor, the microwave etc. I later found some solder had welded itself round a clump of my hair! I eventually managed to solder the two bits of wire to some bits of brass out of an old torch and wrapped an elastic band round the original battery, holding the two brass bits to it.. Hey Presto! It worked.  My lights look great, but not sure if they'll switch themselves off at 11.30 tonight!
Sorry, I've no idea why I have spilled my guts out on a Prize Draw thread. Must be to make up for my lack of input yesterday!
