Today I play the annual game of Christmas Donkey Kong - scaling ladders and dodging tubs of decorations to get to the Christmas tree stored in the loft.

Just take care there Mr B.
I remember waking up on a trolley in A&E after falling off my platforms on Black Friday. In the ward on my overnight stay was a woman who had fractured her back falling out of the loft hatch while trying to retrieve the Christmas tree!!!

Am back down from the loft with all of Christmas with no swearing or injuries. Also spied a few eBayable / carbootable things up there but thankfully the loft is mainly festive. Big news of the day (and I have to be careful cos she still occasionally reads this thread) but I *might* have got Mrs B into the mindset of eBaying. She saw that a couple of dresses and trainers like her unwanted ones have fetched some money and has instructed me to take photos of them and list them. If she gets into that, then we will be unstoppable as we'll be able to flog off a whole lot of stuff. Off to put the Christmas tree up now.

MrB. for Christmas, ask for a pair of scales that measure body fat. This is way more accurate than BMI.
I worked with a rugby player who's BMI was 35, but who's Body Fat was 5%.
I have a set of these scales and they are showing a drop in my B/F as I convert more fat to muscle.

When I read about the kids waving you goodbye, I thought you meant the drug-dealing yobbos outside the closed chippy.

Christmas tree. Damn, that reminds me.......

We always put the Bloater tree up early cos come Boxing Day evening it'll all be back in the loft whilst others leave theirs out til January - we're just a family of early starters. No run this morning but will be out there tomorrow - might sneak back to the early starts to reacquaint myself with my old cronies. Had a massive clear out at work and now run a department and a year group on the contents of 1 set of desk drawers. Followed the vibe tonight and have removed all the drawers of clutter in the house (there was only 5 of them) and have attempted to go through them - but it. is. taking. too long. Found 20p though! And 3 first-class stamps so I guess I've earned around a quid for my troubles. Moneysaving is never far from my mind these days. Could I ask the collective wisdom on here for some stomping running tunes I can put onto my mp3 - am getting a bot bored with my current lot. Ta!

Just like me. I put the tree up friday night and the kids decorated it. Mine will come down on boxing day.
