I fell asleep just before it started
Turns out Xmas is a piece of piss when it’s only two of you
It’s all the other cunts that make it hard work

Agreed.
Just me, Mrs C_S and YoungAdults#1 & #2
No other family or significant others for today.
The hard work starts tomorrow 
I’m amazed how you keep finding new ways to disappoint me.

They were talking Polish and I just zoned out…
In my defence I’ve put the Advent Carol Service from Salisbury Cathedral on (YouTube)
They’re intrigued

Yeah just the two of us this year too. We were supposed to go to the SiL & Bil’s this year but Lady Slowlane’s sister came down with flu and we’d already given all our staff both days of their annual holiday off.
Went well and the dog has just finished the left-overs.

I need a dog! Lots of leftovers, so Mrs B will be making pies to freeze tomorrow AM.
Apart from the food miscalculation it’s been a breeze today without anyone else to worry about. Selfishness wins!

When the monarch is so skint he’s having to use food banks then I think we can safely say things are bad.

I am getting plenty of experience of domestic slavery this Christmas. It’s what happens when you’re invited to stay for Christmas to act as a servant. But glad to see there are some compassionate masters.

Sometimes I think we’re fools to ourselves but they seem grateful.

I say fair play to him. Got the distinct impression his ma didn’t give a fuck one way or another
On a scale of Julie Andrews to Oliver Reed, how pissed are you? 
I haven’t watched it yet, but the headline made me chuckle.

Mrs C_S does one shop of the year - the Xmas shop - gets everything for the day fine, buys a fuckton of cheese, prawn/ fish based stuff and fripperies and forgets me and YoungAdult#2 need to eat for the rest of the week as well.
Off to supermarket tomorrow to try and find something to make a proper charcuterie board - sans fromage. Fresh bread and decent wine to go with it.

A couple more meals to cook here before escaping to home where I can relax and entertain as I wish rather than having the healthy-eating police examining everything I do. I’ll admit my patience is wearing thin.

If you’re functioning as a chef, you are more or less duty bound to throw a proper paddy should your efforts suffer criticism of any sort. A few viciously hysterical outbursts involving thrown plates, loud swearing and threats with cutlery ought to get your point across nicely.

Very constructive advice for which I thank you. Our hosts don’t do football so I’m wondering if I can engineer a sufficiently major incident to either drive them out of the house or force me to vanish to watch Saints.
