🎄 New Year

Mrs P_F had 4 hours alone in town. Got 1 present :man_facepalming:

I went in to pick her up got 3 presents in 20 minutes.

More shockingly we had a list of things we couldnt find - and apart from as expected Water Biscuits/Crackers.
We found
Black Treacle
Almond Marzipan
Cranberry Sauce
Sarsons Malt Vinegar
Maraschino Cherries
Walkers Shortbread Biscuits
200ml bottle of Brandy
And 25% discount promo on the actual bottle of Malt Whisky I wanted

Equally funny was when she read the Christmas Cake recipe, how many days it will take to make followed by KOURVA! We need 150ml of Brandy.

My Xmas shopping?

30mins using Amazon wishlists and other links sent by family.

All from the comfort of my own sofa.

Food shopping? That’s Mrs C_S job.

I’ve even said I’m not cooking on Xmas day. Mrs C_S is happy to have a go…

Marvellous .

I’m not using Amazon at all. I try and buy from high street retailers as much as possible as i’d quite like a town centre to survive, albeit the omens are not good.
However, i have to sign up to Amazon Prime this weekend for a free trial to get access to the saints games that bezos has chosen to show over the festive period. Presumably i have to order some shite to get it, but i will feel dirty doing it, especially as it is likely to be old copies of The Best of Mayfair as an Xmas present to myself.

It’s
Beginning to look a lot like

Time to change my “drive Mrs P_F to work” footwear.

Ffs

Honestly, some people are so touchy. I got sacked last night from the Salvation Army soup kitchen.
All I said was, “Come on, hurry up, some of us have got homes to go to”.

Only in public.
It’s the law here.
I think

Today had to go to the
Ho! Inky stall to buy our Ho! Inca.
I sat wedged in the car screaming in pain so all blame lies with Mrs P_F

I’m told that is now my most precisely pronounced Polish word after Piwo y Vodka.
Go me!
Pics tomorrow

Deccies are finally going up this weekend. We have three trees this year of a size. Ginge has finally got the seven footer she’s been wanting for years.

I’m talking trees of course. She’s still marrying a short-arse.

We’ve gone a bit classier than the usual bling this year, still bling but looks quite nice, love Christmas.

I the lights up outside yesterday and we did the inside decorations today for the Young Master’s triumphant return (the dinlo will be arriving late as he overslept and missed his original train :roll_eyes:)

Tree comes next Sunday.

Trees are good. Trees a good. You’re Ebeneezer Scrooge.

Not going for the classic “explosion in a glitter and tinsel factory” look this year then?

Thank god my two are old enough to be past that stage now

Yes trees are good…deforestation BAD. :rage:

A whole classier operation this year, don’t get me wrong the Disney/kids tree out the back put Ali G to shame for bling but overall a more classy look, still bling mind to many.

Our tree is bought, being erected tomorrow
Strangely it is a German tree.
Local ones are too expensive and are mainly exported

This arrived at my Daughters today. Personal message & hand drawn hearts & autographed by “Loris”.

Daughter is actually well impressed.

Next pre match meet up the full “world’s worst date” story will be told!
