To me ,Christmas is turning some what loathsome ...what pounding spend adverts ....force feeding ...and the music i have been Noddied all f......week . Can't help thinking now, that Christmas day is like having to go to a awful play at the theatre , when you get exited when the interval comes and you know it not long that it's all over . I get glared at by the rest of the family for thinking like this .....Miserable buggers that they are
Money... just money. Me and the wife bought our house a telly. Gave the kids £100 each, let them decide for themselves what they want. Can’t wrap presents anymore. Greta said so. Not allowed to use sellotape!
Our eldest two are both grown up so it's a cheque each this year, but youngest is getting the obligatory new mobile phone. The biggest issue we now have is Mrs P accusing us of spoiling Christmas, even though the eldest two won't surface from their drunken slumbers before midday anyway !
No presents from me this year, donated the money to local charities instead. Family have far too much stuff already and a lot of it ends up in landfill.
Avoid stocking fillers at all costs, buying for buying sake. Once in a drunken rant about it, saying how, that tat was appreciated, but please save your money, no more mugs(cupboard full) no more coasters(can't see the coffee table for them) if you must a copy of the pop up Karma Sutra please. Following Christmas was fun.
I love Christmas, and the unwrapping of a few presents is all part of it for me.... but preferably not tat bought for the sake of it. If there's stuff I need in the run up to Christmas, I write it down rather than getting it, and then when family ask.... so hopefully this year I'll be unwrapping a new padded shirt for work to replace the one that is more rips and holes than shirt anymore, some black boot polish, some posh lemon squash that I can't justify buying myself as it costs £2.70 a bottle but is bloody lovely, vegemite, and if I'm really lucky a bottle of gin and some cheese maybe. Yeah, I know, they're random presents, but it saves me buying them and means there's presents under the tree. My friends and family do the same. All the fun and joy of giving, but no useless stuff
If you ever need that revolting stuff I can send a food parcel ......................................... I won't allow that abomination in my kitchen.
No!! It is the scrapings from the devils backside. Although I suppose anything is better than Neighbours.
I love the stuff, perhaps even more so than when I was a little un over there. It’s freely available over here now because of its excellentness (new word) . When we was little uns at primary school we was all devilish and stuff , so when there was no growed ups about, we would ask each other what we had in our lunch sandwiches. Always but always one of us would say vaginamite and someone else would shout but I got penisbutter and we’d all collapse into a state of giggles. Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,memories
