• sit on the lap of the character of your choice. (I think you'll find Kevins is already taken).

• get a home visit. (Almost guaranteed whatever your ailment)

• have Jimmi, Heston or practically anyone else provide free detective work.

...or you could just wait around to be screamed at by Gobby.

How can you resist?

To explain to any newbies , this is a very friendly thread that welcomes any fans of the afternoon soap called 'Doctors'.

I'll post the list of commonly used acronyms in a minute but they aren't compulsory, honest!

Ffs! Listening part of the baby monitor. Have downloaded an app but its not really working.

Oh dear ready. I don't get apps, I'm a technophobe with a HTC phone which is about as modern as I get.

Good day was had by all here. Just settling down to bed.

thank goodness that's over for another year

I am so tired. I am trying to stay awake for the Royle Family. DH has nodded off on the sofa, and the living room looks like a bomb's hit, ditto the kitchen.

I think we need to go out in the fresh air tomorrow before we all get square eyes.

How's everybody doing? My house is a tad messy. DCs have been glued to various bits of technology on and off today.

We watched a film together though - well 3 of us did, not DS2 (strange boy )

I wonder what the Doctors are up to?

We are all ok thanks MsN. Just had Christmas dinner a day late. I nipped to the sales then quickly nipped home again.

I haven't left the house since Christmas Eve. The DCs are itching to spend their Christmas money.

Argos are in for a battering tomorrow

Why did you have your Christmas dinner a day late Sparkling?

Sounds daft Horse but yesterday we had breakfast about 11am then my Mum and Dad popped in. By the time they left the DC decided they didn't want a cooked dinner and grazed all afternoon.

It was nice having it today. No present opening or visitors, very relaxed.

Yep, I think it would be nicer to have the dinner on BD too, less pressure imo.

We may do it every year now Horse. Present opening and madness one day. nice mellow meal the next.

I had my Mum round for Christmas dinner. She told me off for the state of my ancient baking trays and made me chuck them out

I'm 42 years old ffs! and apparently a slattern

A friend of mine changed their routine this year and had their dinner on 24th as a long leisurely lunch and just grazed on CD.

She said she wishes they'd done it years ago. I'd do it but diehard traditionalist DH would not want to

We had a trip to the Drs yesterday. Could have done with a home visit ( it's 25 mins each way) , I had to drive as dh had had wine, I'm on crutches & can't walk far, had to take dd2 as its not safe to leave her with dd1 for long. Dd3 was the one that was poorly! Luckily straight in & out with ABs for her.

Ood . Hope DD3 and you get better soon.

You're right. A home visit would have been entirely in order. Heston would have obliged in this season of goodwill.

Heston would have done the home visit and cooked your dinner for you probably!!

Hope you are both soon recovered.

I'll be a while yet at least 16 weeks more likely 6 minths plus but dd3 a lot brighter. She's got a bug thing but was complaining wee hurt so they tested for UTI and was a bit iffy hence ABs.

Afternoon all.

Christmas started badly, with dd2 deciding to scream all night. I ended up sleeping onher floor. Dinner was ok, just dh and I and the dcs- I say every year I'm not bothering again, as it takes forever, the kids never want it and I just get pissed off. Then we went to my mum's to get the pressies from her and my sister and drink her booze, as we'd run out and were too skint to buy any.
Then yesterday we went to my dad's- they always do a buffet type thing, which is nice. My dad plied me with cava, and I was inbed for 7.30. I was up ironing at midnight,though, as dh was in work at 4am.

Tomorrow we are taking his brother out, as it's their first year without mil, and he's worked xmas day and boxing day. Saturday is ds's birthday, and Sunday, mine, we've no plans, as dh is working but by New Year i will just want to crash.

I miss Doctors sad cow

Hello Raahh

I miss Doctors too also a sad cow . My routine has gone to pot.

Happy birthday (in advance) to you and mini-Raahh!

I've just been to town with my DCs today. Banked their Christmas money, which was promptly spent on 3 Nintendo DS games that came to a total of £80 . I had to pay as their cheques haven't cleared yet but believe me, I'll be hauling them down to the bank next week to get paid back tightarse

New Year I'm doing nothing as usual. I go to bed early. And then if the fireworks wake the DCs, we watch from the window. It can be quite nice.

Merry Christmas everyone!

I think today has been the first day since Christmas Eve that I haven't spent the majority of the day wearing an apron. Haven't been out of the house at all.

Haven't watched any Christmas telly, but have it all stacked up to watch on the Sky plus box. Going to start with Eastenders I think.

Ood sorry to hear you've not been well. Heston would not only have done a home visit and prepared dinner, he would have selected a nice wine that wouldn't interfere with antibiotics.

I miss Doctors. I like to think of Heston inviting all the sad singletons around to Juuulia's for a lovely Christmas lunch. Daniel would bore everyone with photos of Joe, Jimmi would clean the house and entertain everyone with a song, TBFE and Kevin would wander round looking gorgeously handsome, and Rect-Al would be slumped in the corner with a paper crown slowly slipping off his head.

oh,I'm always in bed early New Year's eve- I'm not a fan of ny, makes me depressed. Actually, it's my birthday that is the problem. This year,dh is working at 5am New Years day- all the more reason to just go to bed and stay there

for the birthday wishes- I 40 last year, it was a miserable disappointing day. This year,I'm not even bothering. I still have the dress I bought for our aborted night out last year- with the tags on. We are taking Ds and a bunch of his mates to laser quest next week for his birthday. I have promised to take dd1 shopping whilst they are there.(because I love the Trafford centre at New Year)

I've hardly moved today. It's been one of those days where you get to see all the cbeebies programmes twice, because looking for the remote is too much like hard work

Hi Biscuit . I like to think Mrs T would be carol singing in her posh wig.

Raahh The Trafford Centre at New Year....RESPECT!!! I've not entered that place for years since there was a back log in the car park and they announced over the tannoy that is was best to not try to leave and to continue shopping or watch a film instead . I had 3 kids under 2 at the time, and had run out of nappies and milk.

To say the journey home was grim is an understatement.

Tomorrow is dh's oldest friend's wedding. We have to stay at the in laws from then until new years day. I may top myself, as I don't even drink so can't drown my sorrows. In other news I seem to have pmt for the first time in nearly 2 years which is not adding to my mood, dh is tired, coughing and grumpy and baby cakes is currently stood in his cot shouting at me because he doesn't want to go to sleep despite the fact he's been up since 5am and is more than due a nap already.

My tv doesn't seem to be aware that doctors isn't on at the moment and switches itself to bbc1 at 1.45 every day anyway. And every day I forget it's going to do this and freak out. I must remove that instruction...

Cakes - make an exception and have a drink!!!

My Christmas gift to myself just arrived! I've been saving up all year for a Nexus 7. It's lovely but it has been grabbed by the DCs who are now watching a film on it.

I'm ITCHING to play with it!

Wishing Raahh & mini Raahh happy birthdays. Good luck at the Trafford centre.
Hope you have a better time than you are imagining cakes
And MsNo I don't even know what a Nexus7 is (I thought it was a car-but that's a Lexus & would've been a tad extravagant
