Sounds like a good day EC, apart from your team losing

 

Enjoy your beer and film

Totally agree With the OAP.

EC you sound like a shandy kinda person

 

 EC you're a Grinch. But glad you are enjoying your day

Sounds a hoot, enjoy your evening you wild thing.

Happy new year to you and everyone else - regardless!

I hear ya!!  

 

oh...  and I haven't done cards for a few years now...   each year the amount we receive dwindles....

 

I reckon we'll be down to under ten in the next 3 years

I can't understand people who don't like Xmas..I love every part and every season of the year but Xmas is a special time..Time to change a few rooms in the house without much cost..time to laze and watch a few naff movies..Time to interact with people who are normally miserable feckers....time to buy someone some piece of shoite they could of bought themselves but its nicer from you..I love Xmas and I will never ever have z humbug fecker in my house, they may come in that way but they will never leave that way....

 

 

oh and Rylan for the win....

ok... 

 

I love the actual days..    cos I love having the family all at home.... 

 

but the run up to it, and the days after it, and having to see the shitty members of the family     and the cost of it all...      that's what makes me humbug 

 

 

oh & Rylan for the BIN! 

I'm always  interested when peepil such as m'self, peepil who carry on in a sensible, ecological, and economical way, are somehow thought of as being odd. You may call us "grinch" "scrooge" "Maurice" "The Gangster of Love" and yet we observe people, buying stuff nobody wants, wasting food big-time, burning electricity, and getting all hypocritical about religion.

I hear ya joe!

I mainly just enjoy the time off work and the opportunity to rest, relax, spend time with friends and those family members I like and also have a bit of fun. I think hard about gifts and only give stuff I know for sure that others will like/need/use or that they will enjoy as they have sentimental value or will make them laugh etc. No food is wasted here, all 'leftovers' get used one way or another e.g. today I've made various pies, pastries, casseroles, soups, stocks etc. for the freezer and enjoyed every minute of doing so and simply having the time and energy to poodle about in the kitchen and listen to music. As for wasting electricity, not sure that my four sets of fairy lights are going to make much of a dent in the national grid, ooo and I have lots of candles on the go, so have probably saved on lighting

Well you all know I LOVE christmas, and I hope I always will. But for those of you who don't like it, I do hope that you feel happier now that January is here

Oooo look, as a result of that presumably, I now have these instead of 'Mature dating'

I hear him too Katty, along with EC.   We're all different! 

Perhaps peeps that don't like it have bad memories, we don't know that but it's down to respect on both sides 

I hear ya Supes and Sweet

 

Regardless of what they call or think of you they don't stop you from doing what you want to do.  It's easy to opt out or in depending on whether you're an inner or an outer 

yeah but that's just cause you speak of the pompetous of love.

 

Now can someone please tell me what the hell that means?

that's what I love too, supes - just having time to potter about - i don't even mind doing houseworky/domesticky things when I can do them at my own pace and have breaks when i want to.    i might even iron tomorrow....   

 

Nope.  Never did know what he was on about there 

(I could of/have/'ave also used the term "space cowboy" it's from a gramophone record by Steve Miller called "the Joker") I'm still feeling optimistic. I got as far as January 5th last year.

We're familiar with the lyrics and Miller, Joe, it's just the one word that's got us stumped.  Any ideas?

 

PS, Jamiroquoi knicked the Space Cowboy title for an album too

I know.. but you've still not told me what he pompetous of love is.    

 

You'd never have got away with space cowboy though - I know you're not Jamiroquai

Kaffers   

Happy favourite day of the year EC sounds like you enjoyed it

I'm shackled now with regards to what to do at Christmas, but I'm glad because I'm fed up to the back teeth of cooking for an army of ppl for days, who will scoff it in 20 minutes and then promptly fall asleep leaving me with the near nuclear fall out that is 'the dishes'.

WOOOAAAHHH, steady on girl!

Sounds like some of my family 

Yeah.. it's tomorrow now... I may have been a bit rash.   Then again, I must do some before I go back to work - and I don't want to spoil the last couple of days with it.  Decisions, decisions....
