    Friday again and a short day at work for me. I'm finishing at about 3pm to go and pick the dog up and go home. The other half is on his firms works Christmas do tonight so they are finishing work early and heading out. Me and the dog are having a quiet night in before going back into the city to pick him up later on.

    Breakfast, lunch and dinner for me are from store today. Breakfast was toast, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is minted lamb kebabs.

    No jobs to do. Me and the dog are going for a long walk when we get home then it is a chill out on the sofa. No drinks for me tonight so I will at least start the weekend fresh as a daisy :)

    I doubt it very much :)

    My plan is to head out early and do the Aldi shop while he is still in bed feeling sorry for himself.

    My workmates I went for lunch with today are still out on the lash right now and sending photos on What’s App. I’ll try hard not to feel smug tomorrow 🤣

  • Well I feel fine this morning 🤣🤣🤣

    Have been to the shop and beat the mad rush, walked the dog, had breakfast and got the first load of washing in the machine. 

    Breakfast is next on the hit list. Bacon and egg sandwich today.

    The other half is slowly coming around.

    Today's plan is to deliver the last of the family Christmas presents and then we are done for the year 😀

    Not much else planned. Making a chicken curry for dinner later and the other half has mentioned getting the monopoly board out but we shall see.

    I won at monopoly yesterday which is a rare occurrence 🤣🤣🤣

    Not much planned today at all. We are having coffee and then a quick chat with our friend in Romania before I start breakfast. I'm doing a full English this morning. Fancy something more substantial. 

    We will go for a nice long dog walk I think today. Not sure where yet. Somewhere not too muddy! 

    I've got some lamb shanks out for dinner later. Will stick them in the slow cooker with some minted gravy and think I will serve them with mustard mash and greens.

    Might get the mats out of the van for washing today. Make a start on cleaning that up ready for our New Year's short break.

    @Sun_Addict@RelievedSheff  ha, both of your posts made me smile. Most of my staff will be out this coming Friday and these days when I inevitably hear some of the goings on I’m so !!!!!! glad to keep away from it. Has changed the relationship between some of my staff and I tbf on reflection that was overdue with a couple of them.

    Four days and counting. I'm getting ready for a couple of weeks off work now. It seems to have been a long haul this year from our Europe trip to Christmas. Nearly there though.

    Breakfast, lunch and dinner are from stores today. Breakfast was cereals, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is ostrich steaks with rice and vegetable.

    Tonight's jobs are:
    • walking the dog
    • load of washing
    The dog is being a little monkey with Christmas presents. I have had to move them all upstairs into the spare bedroom. He keep trying to open them all. At every given opportunity he is trying to break and enter into the spare bedroom now!

    That's why I don't wrap ours until the last minute. Our dog would have them all open, she thinks all presents are for her. The little devil stole a tiny Christmas cracker a friend made me and ate the mini chocolate inside. I only realised it was missing last week then found the chewed up packaging! Thankfully it hasn't made her ill. Should've left it higher up than the coffee table so serves me right!
