[tillyh345]

Did everyone have a peaceful Xmas?

[Barmaid]

Just about. I am getting close to losing my rag though.

[piggynose]

why? did you have a good old barny?

[tillyh345]

me too! Weird isnt it when you look forward to it so much and then u just feel like screaming after a couple of days. Not sure whether its all the food and drink, doesnt make u feel good at all really does it?

[ummmm]

Perfectly peaceful...

Although OH's sister did irritate me a bit....she didn't stick around for long though. So was only a miner irritation..

[tillyh345]

The Chinese have a saying about family staying with you :-

"Family are like fish. They are nice when they arrive - but after three days they start to stink!"

[Invictas]

Well, as I was on my own for the whole of Christmas I didn't fight with myself,but I DID try! LOL

[karenmac60]

See next year Invictas - how would you like to spend Xmas with my dad and I can be on my own? :)

[Invictas]

Well karen,
How old is your dad,and is he good company?

[karenmac60]

He's 63, and yes - until about the 3rd whisky. After that you'd better watch yourself ;)

No family fights but we spent Christmas day with a couple of friends and they had invited more friends round for the evening. One of them had a heart operation in October and thought it would be funny to pretend to have a heart attack. Having had a few drinks and because my husband was diagnosed with cancer in March I did not find this funny at all and told him what I thought of him. Because he was very drunk at the time a lot of other friends stuck up for him and I was just left feeling really upset by it all. I will be staying in New Years Eve now.

[Invictas]

Well karen,
I am 61 and like the odd whisky(and the odd man) but it's a while( a LONG while) since I had a b/f of ANY sort,so it might be your Dad who would have to watch out! LOL

[~Wingnut~]

Jan that is awful! I'm not surprised you were upset. I hope they now see it wasn't a funny thing to do.

My youngest son who lives here, brought a large tin of quality street home on Christmas Eve (when I picked him up at 1.20am from work)
He was here until 4pm Christmas Day, (we had opened the tin at Christmas Dinner) and then went to friends. He came home last night and demanded his tin of quality street! I couldn;t find it : (
He';s now thrown a wobbler, I;ve suggested that he had no problem eating all the food i bought in for Christmas. He's sulking because I won;t let him have the gateau.

We were enjoying a party when someone put a box of dark chocs under a chair. Then my hound found it.. It was washing soda and mopping up brown gunge after that. Lovely
