She come back to me to suggest a slob out infront of the tv instead of a turkey as long as we have sparkling wine, she likes a glass of that

But you will need to feed her, and to be honest there is only so much TV you can watch.

Three days is quite a long time to fill.

What about board games and a carpet picnic - thats one of my favourite christmas things - no cooking - food straight from the plastic packets - uncut bread, pate and cheese, olives and cake, sparkling wine and beer.

Ive just done a google search of the takeaways round here and we are near a large city - none open on Christmas day - Jimmy Spices buffet restaurant is open during the afternoon for a few hours. Nothing else.

Have you arranged with her who's paying for what and whether you're going to exchange pressies?

We are going to do pressies. nothing much and I'm paying xmas day, shes paying xmas eve and boxing day we'll see.

Christmas day a walk would be good. Ive got monopoly here and she keeps saying she will beat me at it.

I think like me, shes glad to have some company.

Some of you may remember my earlier thread where I said I will be spending christmas on my own.

I was talking to a friend at work and now I have a guest as she has no one either (Her daughter is at her fathers) so she is spending christmas eve through to 27th with me.

Christmas eve, just having a dominos infront of the box. But what do you "Do" on christmas day. Like I was planning a kebab and Dads army or are you being served. Whichever box set I grabbed first.

What do folk do?

I've just learned it's going to be me and my dog.
