Meenzer 14143 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Just gonna slip this is here. I dunno, this time if year I can't help but think of the thousands of kids who will have the grand sum of fuck all. No presents, no turkey dinner, not even a fucking cracker. Saddens me anyway and it's wrong. This might do nothing and might help a bit, even if only to lessen my own guilt as I stuff my face. http://m.england.she...variant=via-sms Good stuff.

Gejon 2 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Can't be fucking arsed with graft tomorrow. It's always morale-crushingly boring on Christmas Eve. I wanted to work xmas ever this year as it's always a complete doss, I will leave early and I get another day off for working it. Regretting that decision now, even if I will appreciate it on Friday.

The Fish 9265 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 You're always ill. Your immune system must be almost as compromised as your arsehole. You try living with two Drs and a Dentist. The amount of bamps they have to deal with on a daily basis is depressing, the amount of virulent diseases they bring home with them from those bamps is staggering.

Christmas Tree 4005 Posted December 24, 2012 Author Share Posted December 24, 2012 Bit tricky this year explaining that an old man with long white hair, famed for making wishes come true, will be sneaking into your child's bedroom while they're asleep!!!!

Renton 18081 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Urghhh. Thought I'd make life easier by preordering food at M&S. It's worked for the previous 5 years, but was horrendous this year at the silverlink. Had to queue from 8 until 9.30, the queues behind me were even worse. Not doing this again.

ChezGiven 0 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 The anti-biotics have given us the shits. Had to sit down wipe as didn't have the energy to stand. Not that I'm a stander but even if I had been. Worse part was that it was so explosive that there were splashes on the floor. The floor ffs. Fortunately abroad we don't do carpeted bogs.

Gemmill 35640 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Either that is a very powerful shit or you have a very narrow arse. Hope you feel better soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 18081 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 (edited) What antibiotics are they Chez? Co-amoxiclav maybe? Broad spectrum antibiotics will fuck your guts, whether they'll benefit your sinusitis is debatable unfortunately. Hope you're feeling better soon, obviously.

ChezGiven 0 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Aye, Augmentin. My symptoms appear to be inconsistent with viral sinusitis (no chest symptoms etc) so there is a stronger chance of it being bacterial but as you say, I could be necking 6 pills a day just to turn my arse into a shit-sneezing machine.

khay 8 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Present shopping was done an dusted last week. Did our food shop saturday night and the place was empty. We still need to pick up some crackers and juice today but we are cat sitting for some friends and pass the store on the way. Arranged times to Skype with both sides of the family tomorrow. Back to work on Boxing day as the USA gives christmas eve and christmas day off. It should be nice and slow and i can get caught up with some work. Wife is not back until the 7th though after being off since thursday. But when its about 24 degrees outside it does not quite feel like christmas. and nice to know Gems is not losing the house!

People who sign Christmas cards on behalf of their pet Just wrote out a couple of gift tags to my niece and nephew from the cats. I've had some cards with pets names included. Not fussed but no way am I including pets name on the response! Fucking sellotape btw, why the fuck has something better not been invented?

Christmas Tree 4005 Posted December 24, 2012 Author Share Posted December 24, 2012 Loving the Xmas break already. Had a lovely morning down at Shields beach with the wife and bairns, followed by a nice stroll through the town centre to visit the Daughter who was still at work. Then watched a couple of immigrants belting out a fantastic European version of Jingle Bells. Very upbeat and off key. Spotted a Nigella recipe book in the charity shop window as well. Canny bargain. About to hit the local Italian with friends and family for our traditional Xmas eve tea time get together before racing home to "beat Santa". Tomorrow the whole family will be joining me at trough manor and then an afternoon in the pub on Boxing Day watching the match. Loving it. Hope you all have a great one and Santa brings you lots of presents. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 9265 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Well the Bigot has landed. When I said I live near Brixton she asked if I had to pay more insurance because I lived near "all that lot". Followed it up with a Daily Mail rant about money going from the Government to the arts. Then the family fucked off to the local church service and I got to play FM13 for a bit and have a few drams of my Dad's whiskey stash. Favourite bit of Xmas, already over. Just the food and getting to rant about shit presents left now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
