    Stopped at glass 3 here :A.

    OK, plan for today:
    • Asda - Mr GG's mums shopping & alcohol for team at work. Spend £40 & get £5 voucher on their price thingymajig
    • B & Q - new toilet seat :eek:. THIS one fits decor but guess what - will be having white :rotfl:.
    • Aldi - veg, bacon, tinned toms, eggs
    • Factory shop - Mr GG's mum's slippers too big
    • Home.
    • Make bacon & lentil soup
    • Try to fit toilet seat. Decide to leave for DS, amongst other mainly IT related issues 'it's what I grew him for' ;)
    • Deliver shopping
    • Eat quick lunch with Mr GG
    • Get train to go Xmas shopping
    • Bicker
    • Fall out
    • Make up
    • Repeat last 3 indefinitely
    • Go for early dinner at yummy Indian
    • Come home
    • Fall asleep
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

  • I hope its not one that slowly works itself loose so when you sit down it justs moves a fraction more and slowly drives you insane! I suspect we have this problem due to being mostly female household plus dd2 appears to have a round bottom

    Not only did we not fall out but Mr GG was actually singing Xmas songs at one stage :snow_laug:snow_laug:snow_laug

    In between the coming home and falling asleep we went out again with friends. V good night with lots of :rotfl:and :beer:. Luckily am not too _pale_ this morning. Was v good as she is a great :money:fan :D, though her version is buy all the glitches ;). We've talked about going to Amsterdam with them as soon as there is a great offer on :T.

    Went to Screwfix for toilet seat, £10 cheaper and allowed me to stroll in all knowledgeable-builder like :rotfl:. And then get DS to fix it :cool:.

    Came home from shopping to discover DS & gf putting up the tree :xmastree:. Am sure they watched the Christmas lights twinkle while we were out ;).

    warning - I am not she!!! but GG has left her computer on the floor so I making a raid for a truer version of yesterday's events :D

    • eat nice soup granted
    • went shopping ........and bought a few things (the aim, I suppose)
    • was in a good mood because we decided to go our separate ways - twice :j
    • did go for yummy Indian, except dessert which I was "forced" to eat because GG has no idea of time (cryptic I know - but she is a nightmare) :o
    • arranged to go out with friends cos I knew GG would just want to come back and sleep (then she wonders why she can't sleep when she goes to bed)
    • good laugh out with great friends and had a good chat with a couple of people I hadn't seen for years
    • to prevent the hangover - walked home 2 miles (go us) and then luvvverly toast and tea before lights out at about 2

    need to finish the raid now as she is beginning to get suspicious, bless

  • GG and MrGG sounds like a fab night
    glad you are both not worse for wear this morning ;) :rotfl:

    Yay on having the :xmastree: up!!
  • I love the way mr gg hijacks the computer and puts his version of events across. I had the weirdest dream last night that i was a moneysavingexpert convention.
