It's ten past eleven, and have not had breakfast yet because of Father-in-law having to chat for an hour to everyone who rings up, and taking ten minutes to open each present. Bloomin' pub's open in less than an hour...
Because I thought Paper Craft (origami version of MineCraft) would be a good idea for my daughter and now have 300+ MineCraft related items which need folding and assembling!!!!
Fallen out with g/friend already so she wants me to stay to dinner, then go back home, apparently. I can be such a d/head sometimes.
Sounds similar to my Christmas last year g/f stormed out with her turkey so I just had my pud for Christmas dinner. She then called me to ask me to play happy families because her sister invited us over in the evening. Like a mug, I did - worst Christmas ever... we didn't last...
As mentioned on the Happy Christmas thread, doing Christmas down at my sister's this year. Mum put the turkey on yesterday afternoon and then the rest of the family headed off to church leaving me to turn the oven off at the end of the cooking time, and as my sister put it "just make sure that the oven doesn't blow up". Literally two minutes before I was due to turn the oven off, the power goes off in half the house, and having finally located the circuit breakers and emptied half the pantry so I can crawl in to actually reset them, it appears that the oven has expired.
So at least we have turkey, but no roast potatoes, no yorkshire pudding, no parsnips (not that I'm fussed about the last of those) for lunch, and the sausage rolls and a lot of the other bits and bobs we were going to have for tea can't be cooked either. And to add to the general frustration of the day, niece has been given a furby AND a furbling, so the inane chirping is going to be twice as irritating
There should be a sympathy button for those of us that are having a genuinely shit time. I mean how can you "like" something like this? Feel for you mate.
Keeping things fun because that's what our five year old girl wants and deserves. However my wife has had a truly awful year with both of her parents passing away within the last few months.
Books and kindle instead of superdry - epic fail daughter/wife
What is superdry, mr Raz?
A clothing brand
Cashing in on Japanese cool, but the company is from Cheltenham. (Good pressies to take to Japan as the writing is as comic as Japanese English is to us!) Payback for the 1970's British motorbike industrial decline!
Local pub no longer selling real beer = crap Aforementioned Father-in-law kindly offering to take us to much better pub a few miles away = result Returning to find expensive bottle of Portuguese red we had carted all the way from Algarve especially for Xmas dinner had somehow been consumed without being noticed while we were away on the Danube last week = crap...
