Cos when they order a taxi for someone else they'll say, do you want one too and it kinda like makes you feel...you know, like you're not wanted

I can understand that...when I used to do lunch for 10/12...afterwards I couldn't wait until they all left, I was shattered and just wanted to chill 

Slades "Merry Christmases" will never be the same for me again  

Ok ....well I will probably be here too.....although as I treated my self to some flavoured vodka today ....sour berries.....I may not be making much sense !!  It's 14.9% proof  

like I said Pam...it's their Christmas day too...when you've cooked for your own and guest all you want to do is chill after. I really don't think they mean anything by it, just she wants to wind down and enjoy Christmas too...it's hard work Christmas day. 

Bazzy!! you dark horse!! 

We're all chilled though and not causing any problems. I don't know if it harks back to when mam was alive, she liked to be back in her own house about 8ish and I'm wondering if they think I'm the same. (Obviously I went at the same time that she did cos that's what was done but........)

I know ....I'll probably pay for it later ....but it is Xmas  

Divesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss *Moonie snogssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss*   

I don;t like Slade, not a patch on Wizzard  

Sorry, I got to disagree...you want chill time with your own on Christmas day. you've done the hospitality thing and then you should get a little time to yourself  I used to usher the out about six 

Coughs and splutters 

Dameeeeeeeeeeeeeeee *snogssssssssssssssssss back*

Coughs and splutters

I agree Ros, I loved having my Mam and Dad and all the boyfriends...but after 5/6 hours you really want into your pj's and settle down with the hubby/kids/tv/or a glass or two....it's hard going 

soz  do you need the kiss of life? Prepares to dive again   Runs in with all the nec necc ness all the gear      how are you, you have been missed 

Don't get me wrong, I can well understand, but sometimes, just sometimes....  

This is gonna sound horrible but, It's not like she does it all   my sis in law cooks the turkey/other meat  and makes the gravy and me and a.n. other do the washing up.   

I know this post sounds ungrateful, but please, I don't mean it that way. It's just that I can't find the right words this time

I think if you were married and had kids you maybe would understand more. I really think there is nothing vindictive in her wanting a bit of me time on Christmas day with her own  I know I did, and really was wishing them out the door by the time they left, as much as I loved them 

what help do you need...advice my daughters in? 

I do agree  - was lovely to see them -  same when my mum used to come and my sister  now-comes a time when it  is just time for them to go  to relax - I love seeing peeps but time to relax is important as well

Hi Bazzy  

Not long ago 

Have you bought the TV yet ? 

Yes .....I agree .....I love seeing my kids , but am always happy to come home again ....or have the place to myself  

it is Ros, especially when you have children up at silly o'clock opening prezzies  No wonder I was never a fan of Christmas day...I can't remember a Christmas day I haven't had it all to do in 38 years 

yes same here son and GF stayed for a few days last week lovely but hard to relax - that's all it  is relax and chill time needed not that they are not wanted and enjoy having them cos you do -

Dame .....check FB ...I think it's sorted  

explain to me tomorrow
