Hi Carol, oh so happy you had a good time at your Julie's as always your chicken casserole and trifle so yummy just my thing. Glad you enjoyed the x factor as I did of course despite all the chaos of a new judge replacing Kelly who left because of a fall out with Tulisa. I was so happy it was Alexandra Burke who stepped in but I did think she was a bit strict considering she's been there herself. Also one of the lads left the risk so Ashley out of new vibe who were out the other week has took his place. Also the girl group the rythmics now have a new name little mix so it's all action. My mum thinks Kelly will be back. Well dreading the result tonight. I'm looking forward to Downton Abbey of course. Well all my clocks have gone back so saves my dad a job how cool is that? I enjoyed that much needed extra hour in bed I love it this way round. Much better than the hour less when the clocks go forward for the summer. Well yes I'm so happy it's my busiest week. How cool you have a party on 29 November. I don't blame you not going on concord especially as you have been on it before so going in the cafe is cool. I have the Christmas show on 22 November so that's my first event. I'm going there with Barbara and we are meeting up with Sarah from the blind club and her carer Karen. Pat is also going with some friends not bad going so lots of people there I know. Then my blind club parties will be on 12 and 14 December. Not sure if the dance party will be the same week or not. Well I don't like bonfires and fireworks but I'm sure it's because I have never had sight it's all daunting for me. You are so lucky to have had sight in the past and enjoyed all that. Our little Meghan doesn't like fireworks so she must take after her auntie Clare for that. Well have a good chill out Sunday like me and of course we will both enjoy the x factor and Downton Abbey. Love Clare xxxx
