Mine will be spent doing the present thing in the morning, with a full English, follwed by a couple of hours shopping in the Mall of the Emirates, followed by about 8 hours in the Alpine bar at the bottom of the ski-slope. Pop in and say hello if you're passing, but in not, Happy Xmas all!

we got "joint presents" this year, however, there will be some stocking fillers to open up.

After that, start cooking the 13lb bird ready for lunch with all the trimmings.

After that, will be blobbing on the couch.

Marry Xmas one and all.

We'll be nursing hangovers that could kill ten men. We'll have a huge English breaky around lunch time and then go back to bed probably.

Got my parents in town this year (they escaped before the second lot of snow arrived), I'm doing the Christmas lunch (turkey and the works), after lunch board games and then I will see if I can get the Great Escape or Where Eagles Dare etc dvd out, if not darts outside (which one of the presents I'm getting for my lad, although the wife states it is really for me!)

I am jealous.


I will be spending the day at my MIL's tiny house being force fed the best that Asda can offer. I even offered to cook yesterday I am that in fear of the quality. Plus she has the heating on full blast. Plus I will be forced to endure all sorts of st TV.

Not a happy bunny. Best option seems to be to get smashed and stay smashed.

Boxing Day will be better; private party in a mates country pub. Bingo!

Merry Christmas!

All good thanks.

Granted, it would have been nice to have had power on the first night in the flat, but other than that, it's all good thanks.

Looking forward to a visit from mrs emsman on the 29th, especially as she is bringing my driving license with her (dhl can't pick up until the 1st due to bad weather).
As soon as I get my car I will be a lot happier, as I'm relying on taxi's at the moment which is hardly ideal.
Look forward to meeting up soon
