Snidely - I'm with you on the snoring partner business! I often have to kick my OH into the spare room after his 'special' array of noises.

They include, the snore, the pop, the click, and the 'CAAAAAHHHHHHH' breathing right in my ear!!!! :rotfl:

She doesn't snore. She "breathes heavily". :rotfl:

Excuse me for butting in but I have never been able to understand how the 12th night could be 6th January. If Christmas day is the 1st day of Christmas, then the 12th day is the 5th January. According to Wiki, HERE, the Oxford English Dictionary defines 12th night as "the evening of the fifth of January, preceding Twelfth Day, the eve of the Epiphany, formerly the last day of the Christmas festivities and observed as a time of merrymaking".
Traditionally it is unlucky to leave the decorations up after 12th night so, to be safe and not tempt bad luck, perhaps they should be taken down on the 5th Jan.
