  • Merry Xmas ISOM :beer: A little early for drinking I suppose but I'm about to :D

    Went out for a jog and saw other like-minded folk out there. Nutters, the lot of them :rotfl:

    Shower, then breakfast then more drinking til I'm collected to eat the family cooking. Thankfully this is guaranteed to be a NSD :rotfl::D.

    Have a fun day!

    Morning! Merry Xmas! :D:D

    I am just escaping the madness for a few minutes (under the guise of 'sorting out some Christmas music on the computer', which involved......putting a disc in and pressing play! :rotfl:)

    Hope everyone has a lovely day. I might pop back later if I get chance.

    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    They loved their pressies PAP.

    We had a near disaster with their DVD players. We just put them away when they arrived, and never checked them. It turns out they dont come with scart leads, and poor DS's face was awful when he realised he couldnt watch anything. Luckily, I've had a search and found 2 scart leads in the garage - phew DS is smiling again :T

    I feel ashamed to admit that they both agree their fave pressie is their slippers - so they can have warm feet:o

    Maybe I should put the heating on more often :D

    Ryan went to sleep after midnight, then woke at 4am, then 5.30am, and then we got up at 7.30am... :eek:

    Well done for finding the scart leads Spud - what a star! (I daren't even go in our shed because of the spider army that is using it as it's headquarters while it plans an all-out assault on our house).

    I'm loving the idea of doing sale shopping on Xmas day - it just seems so.....naughty! :rotfl:
