I agree with you there Dawn. It was all good fun and like you say as though we were all in the same room. All the best to you both. love Malcolm. xxx Bringing in the new year was just fantastic, with conference call through Skype. It was just as though we were all sat in the same room at times.I must say it is 1 of the best ways for me of bringing in the new year. It was very nice for myself and Chris to talk to Vanessa, Jim, Jenny M, and even Malcolm. Amy, was also there and she cleans for Malcolm. on this occasion she was being the doting waitress, Malcolm was shovelling down Chinese, Indian and various other foods. Vanessa was drinking like it was going out of fashion, think she was trying to keep up with Malcolm. Jenny was only with us for a short space of time,and chatted and sang beautifully.Malcolm played his mouth organ badly, just joking.I also sang a few Scottish songs Jim also sang beautifully and Chris was keeping an eye on the clock. Jim was also multitasking doing amongst other things, such as preparing for a Celidh later on that day, he is one of a very few men who I know can multitask. During the word game Vanessa kept on saying you cannot have that word it is a name. Malcolm drew the short straw in as much as Jim offered him a choice of easy or hard words but Malcolm chose hard. Myself and Chris had a wonderful and fun time Thank you all for your time and company. Hope 2013 is kind to all of us. Must do it again at an earlier time when there is nothing on TV Dawn and Chris
