    Through Christmas and out the other side. Some have proven true to form complaining about how I couldn't have stayed with them to visit all my friends?

    Well that also holds true in the future, such as those times when you should be seeing your Father... ;)

    And then going upstairs to see my 'common in law sister in law' laid up in bed with a cold /flu to point out 'You're feeling sorry for yourself'. She was tempted to tell him to f*ck off. Maybe one day we both should.

    Butti...Butti! I am disappoint...

    You need to deliver your bon mots against the gauche with flair and elan. Asking him "Why don't you just f* right off?" is only funny if he's a eunuch. Which, given your desire to rip parts of his anatomy off and wear them as earrings, may come true sooner than expected - but even so.

    And your trainee sister-in-law - she could have merely stated that her current feeling of "What the hell have I done to deserve this?" wasn't present mere scant seconds before he made his appearance, so may go soon.

    Though no sooner than him.

    My brother et al have come good. I'm staying here tonight and we're going to split the cost of cancellation of the hotel room.

    :T

    That's what families are supposed to be about.

    My Christmas's are usually stressful due to the presence of my father. He is like a one man emotional vortex. Lots of white noise swirling round and the drawing in and obliteration of any positivity.

    A vortex does not discriminate, it would draw in negativity too. What he is actually, is a positivity suckage...

    Sleeping on the top bunk of a child's bed with a view of stars blue tacked to the ceiling just above my head. Does life get any more glamorous than this?

    I thought you'd been a student? You must have slept in far worse places than that...
