transport cafe breakfast to thaw out.

You too mate. Ocado coming soon with 1.5 weeks food. Kids Xmas present
bought (it's a Scalextric and they've been told they have to share it as
a combined pressie - forgot to tell them they'll be sharing it with me ;-

2 new tyres on the front of the car that actually seem to grip on snow
and crap - bonus...

Kids now tidying up and purging all the crap they've horded for a dump
run Thursday, so we can make space for the tree.

Tree - 12 quid, decorations 6 quid, hairy lights 5 quid - I love buying
this stuff at the last minute!

One more day of work then I plan to be essentially ****ed.

Might manage to do something to the house next week...

No cooker, so roast chicken this year (combi can manage that).

How does that jibe with Father Xmas and reindeer with sleigh? And snow

It's only a credit card festival. Hang your stocking on the barby and

Wish you luck - the constant warnings on the Picadilly line this morning
made Heathrow sound like a warzone:

Looking forward to Christmas even less than usual. 20 miles down the M1
to Brat 1's MiL for the 25th, then 100-ish miles to Harwich to catch the
23.15 ferry to the Hook of Holland on the 26th. NL temperature forecast
to be -7 to -9 for the 110 mile drive on Monday morning. Oh joy.

Fun, he says. Two days non-drinking, then a couple of weeks with a TT
wife and a MiL who only drinks the odd glass of port. Still, there's
always the rugby club New Year reception with a free bar to look forward
too. As long as I don't fall off my bike again on the way back.

I'd rather sit at home and DIY a bit, watch TV and sip a single malt,
but darker forces are at work.

Meanwhile, I'd forgotten about this: (only in America...)

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes
for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress,
non-addictive, gender neutral celebration of the winter solstice
holiday, practised within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious
persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with
respect for the religious/secular persuasions and/or traditions of
others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions
at all... and a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling, and
medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally
accepted calendar year 2011, but not without due respect for the
calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society
have helped make America great (not to imply that America is necessarily
greater than any other country or is the only "America" in the Western
hemisphere), and without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical
ability, religious faith, or sexual orientation of the wishee.
This wish is limited to the customary and usual good tidings for a
period of one year, or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday
greeting, whichever comes first. "Holiday" is not intended to, nor shall
it be considered, limited to the usual Judeo-Christian celebrations or
observances, or to such activities of any organized or ad hoc religious
community, group, individual or belief (or lack thereof).
Note: By accepting this greeting, you are accepting these terms. This
greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal, and is revocable at
the sole discretion of the wisher at any time, for any reason or for no
reason at all. This greeting is freely transferable with no alteration
to the original greeting. This greeting implies no promise by the wisher
to actually implement any of the wishes for the wishee her/himself or
others, or responsibility for the consequences which may arise from the
implementation or non-implementation of same. This greeting is void
where prohibited by law.

Reciprocated

I wonder how many posts we'll have on Xmas Day?

I usually do the Annual Computer Back-Up.

I'll probably just be ****ed.

I have already been told to find something useful to do. Apparently teaching
the girlfriends lad how to open chocolates off the Cristmas tree and fold
the empty wrapper up before putting it back on the tree is not useful.

I hate Christmas these days. It has been over commercialised in recent
years and has lost a lot of quality from it as a result.

Wife went to Portsmouth on Saturday morning, with one of our Nephews
driving. She arrived at 11-00 pm plus. I would have advised her to stay
overnight here and set off early Sunday morning, but there is no telling
her. The gritting would have been done better and the traffic would have
flowed better.

There is nothing for me to do down there except drink. TV is out of the
question because of the noise of 4 females. Mother, daughter and two g
daughters.

Anyway, there is no reason for anyone else to not enjoy Christmas and I
sincerely hope you all will.

Dave, not a Scrooge :-)

Books, games, walks, heck, even conversation and playing with the rest
of the family. With a bit more preparation, internet (use a USB dongle
if your host doesn't have a suitable connection).

Take your sharp things with you and have a few hours honing?

That box of mixed useful things - take that and sort it out?

I think I might be turning into my mum :-)

Takes me about 10 minutes to do the whole of the kitchen knives to a
razor sharp edge.

I'll stay at home, if you don't mind.

That's written in a way which makes it sound bad - if so, commiserations.

suitable clothes can cope with most cold.)

When I'm at the in-laws, there's typically several children running
around plus various adult siblings - yet I can normally find somewhere
quiet if needs be.
