Looks like you will all need paracetamol :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
I step out for a short while and there's a drunken cat, raspberry lasagne on the sofa and Froggy, why do you have chocolate B&B pudding liberally plastered over yourself? Clearly you lot can't be trusted for a couple of hours
Radish, not sure about your role in this given the responsible adult job I gave you :rotfl:
GG, Mss T had a non alcoholic cocktail last night, the same green as your party cocktails. You are definitely leading everyone astray here. I bet the others just wanted an evening watching Morse until you turned the music up :eek:
56 sleeps to go and it looks like my Xmas booze stash has been emptied.
Froggy leave the lodger alone and don't give GG the karaoke mike.

Snowball anyone, or perhaps egg nog in this cold weather. I'll be wearing my old door curtain as a toga just as a nod to MS. Its antique gold in colour so won't show the advocat when I spill it
