Reminds me many years (Xmas eve) ago I worked in a cake shop the lads from the butchers used to pop over around 9am for pies/pasties etc, I asked them to keep me a SMALL turkey crown and I would pick it up after work, at lunch time I popped in to make sure they had put in my order, come 4pm when we closed I went over to the closing butchers, someone had sold my turkey crown :eek: all he had left was a 26lb turkey, the boss had to give me a lift home and I had to cut it in half to cook it :rotfl:
:rotfl::rotfl:
one year, i worked in a place which gave us turkeys as our christmas bonus. mine was 20lbs plus.
that year, me and my ex split up a few days before christmas.
The first thing i packed was my turkey! My parents ate off that for a month! I wasnt letting him have a good christmas dinner off my hard work after what he did to me! ! ! ! !
I have just added one more to my dinner table this year, so my turkey is gonna be huge. i already have 2 fridges! Gonna have to get the cool box out as well. Failing that, there's always the shed :rotfl:I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Health & Beauty, Greenfingered Moneysaving and How Much Have You Saved boards.

Talking of dogs and christmas trees...
Merry Christmas All!!:rotfl::rotfl:
Now that is one hell of a whoopsie :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:Thanks to everyone for your replies, shouldn't really have a moan on here as I know there are people going through a lot worse. Just really struggling at the minute. Normally I can deal with things but its literally a new problem every week and not getting time to deal with one before the next comes along, right after I made my last post I knocked some milk over on the carpet and spent 10 minutes blubbing about it! :eek:
With regards to Christmas, there will be my mum and nan (nan is travelling over 200 miles to come up) both elderly and ill so can't really rely on them too much, step dad who hasn't cooked in the last 20 years, brother and his girlfriend who won't be here while literally just as dinner is being put on the table, and then my OH who has already been told he will have to help. I have just never cooked for this many people, and my kitchen & oven isn't big enough and I am thinking why the hell did I offer I should have started small haha.
Again sorry for having a moan.
Beki - I hope you don't mind me saying but I am 58 and spent 30+ years of my life breaking down into tears at the littles things until I something happened and I saw the doc, told her what it was like, and went on ant!-depressants ...... and haven't looked back. AD's don't have to be long term and just a very weak dose can make the difference between coping and breaking, so have a think about it hun. The last 4 years have been like a different life since my husband and I have both been on AD's
Sorry if this upsets anyone or they feel I souldn't post this, but it's just my experienceMr 3Dogs 3-7-12

Right, own up, who has been asking for codes? I've tried to play detective and I thought I had an idea but the posts I was thinking of are still there. Like Locarr though, I have also thanked Redfox for moderating this thread and ensuring it stays open :beer:
Can someone explain why asking for codes is illegal please ?Back to square one, no apg, no comment.0 -
Nice one thx for that he will slate you now when he see's it ( are you his big or little sis? ) Is he in the pub again?
Oh bu88er, might have to go back and do some editing before he see's it. Little sis and in everyway possible, maybe not so little, thanks to T's glitches :rotfl::rotfl:Something unexpected happened which made me smile and still continues to make me smile.
