Well because i am a bit lazy, i will say Thanks to everyone who has posted to wish us Merry Christmas, and indeed wish each other Merry Christmas:D

I would like to address Jimbo though about how we met. I Met carol on another site, and for some reason after knowing her for hardly two minutes was on msn with her pouring my heart out:-3 It was one of those rare days i needed to talk about summat i very rarely talk about, and i somehow found it ok to talk to Carol about it, from then on we became firm friends. i met Gill through Carol ( also on the other site as well as Joan who sadly hasnt got much time leatley to come here) who also has become a very good friend. i didnt really know Kay until she came on here but i feel llike she is one of my friends too now.

Also i need to ask red,,, who are the red hat ladies??

Kaz - the Red Hat Ladies.. grin. I think you have to be over thirty - which probably rules all of us out :sneaky:

Here's the site

http://www.redhatsociety.com/info/howitstarted.html



Here's the novel which started it all



And here's the famous poem



When I Am an Old Woman

When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple

With a red hat which doesn't go and doesn't suit me.

And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves

And satin sandals and say we've no money for butter.

I shall sit down on the pavement when I am tired

And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells

And run my stick along public railings

And make up for the sobriety of my youth.

I shall go out in my slippers in the rain

And pick flowers in other people's gardens

And learn to spit.

You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat

And eat three pounds of sausages at a go

Or only bread and a pickle for a week

And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes

But now we must have clothes that keep us dry

And pay our rent and not swear in the street

And set a good example for the children.

We will have friends to dinner and read the papers.

But maybe I ought to practice a little now?

So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised

When suddenly I am old and start to wear purple.

By Jenny Joseph, Trenton NJ

Listen up Sista!! Before you sashayed into this Forum, being drop dead gorgeous, charming and POSH, I was the singing person. I REFUSE HIC TO BE UPSTAGED... Or, at least we do a duet.. ok?????

Dashing through the bush, in a rusty Holden Ute,

Kicking up the dust, esky in the boot,

Kelpie by my side, singing Christmas songs,

It's summer time and I am in my singlet, shorts and thongs.

Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,

Christmas in Australia on a scorching summer's day, Hey!

Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells, Christmas time is beaut!

Oh what fun it is to ride in a rusty Holden Ute.

Engine's getting hot, we dodge the kangaroo's,

The swaggie climbs aboard, he is welcome too.

All the family's there, sitting by the pool,

Christmas Day the Aussie way, by the barbecue.

Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,

Christmas in Australia on a scorching summer's day, Hey!

Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells, Christmas time is beaut!

Oh what fun it is to ride in a rusty Holden Ute.

Come the afternoon, Grandpa has a doze,

The kids and Uncle Bruce, are swimming in their clothes.

The time comes 'round to go, we take a family snap,

Pack the car and all shoot through, before the washing up.

Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,

Christmas in Australia on a scorching summer's day, Hey!

Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells, Christmas time is beaut!

Oh what fun it is to ride in a rusty Holden Ute.
