Giggling at my shopping trip. I only intended to keep my friend company. I'm now home avec blouse, dress, shape wear, new underwear, handbag and a cat!

We went shopping for new bedding, walked past an art shop and bought a picture. Then found we could not fit it in the car and had to get a taxi for the picture whilst I drive home. Now hung it in the hallway and it has totally changed the look of the hall.

Whatever you do, don't pop into Llandysul for a pint of milk.

A cat!
Do tell!

The cat is now reunited with its owner

I once went to Asda to get a pint of milk for the office and left with a pint of milk and a new coat. My office mates thought it hilarious.

Basil tends to buy houses when shopping for milk.

What is shape wear?

Gattopardo · « **Reply #22456 on:** 30 December, 2018, 11:12:31 pm »

Sitting on the sofa annoying the two cats, by moving slightly so that their little paws aren't touching me. This makes them resettle and want a little fuss. There are visitors at the moment so they are hiding when the visitors are here.

Played a little xbox, tomb raider and then single player zombie killing. Then decided to watch the ultimate christmas movie....Die hard.

That is right. I have put on a bit of weight over christmas. Diet starts today.

I am watching Bangkok Airport whilst sitting in bed drinking coffee. Basically I am scaring myself silly about all the things that can go wrong when flying. I know that most of it wont happen when you arrive on time and do not lose your ticket, passport or boarding pass, and you do not get drunk either in the airport or onboard the plane. Hopefully these wont be an issue for me (barring travel issues to Birmingham international)

T42 · « **Reply #22461 on:** 31 December, 2018, 09:33:01 am »

Check out TheFlightChannel on YouTube if you really want to be scared silly about flying.

As for me, I'm watching the rain. Last ride of 2017 was on New Year's Eve, but this year looks like a write-off.

ian · « **Reply #22462 on:** 31 December, 2018, 05:10:48 pm »

Or just ask about my flight horror stories. I've flipped over, emergency descended, slid off runways, you name it. I have colleagues who refuse to get on the same plane. It's their mistake because I'm deathproof.

For reasons, we're actually not hiding this NYE, and are going out to the local pub. Which will either be awful or great, but apparently we're on the 'guest list' so have to go (says wife, though the guest list is merely people the landlord recognizes).

I'm at home, ironing. I have my 6yr old nephew upstair for a sleep over because his parents are hosting ~25 for a NYE party complete with a roast diner and a keg of beer. As my sister put it, the meal is only to put solids in the stomach and delay the drunkenness.

Must thank next door for the firework display earlier as it was much appreciated by my nephew.

That's a bit premature isn't it ? - surely Jan 5 or 6 (people argue over the date) is the day .... although we spent one Christmas in Boston, USA and the bloke in the next apartment checked out his tree at 1000 on Boxing Day.

We do ours on 1 Jan as well (in the afternoon, we're not monsters).

We don't do tradition. So logically, decs come down when we've had enough of them. We leave it until after N.Y.E. as we usually invite folks round for drinks.
My Laphroaig and Talisker remained hidden.

Sitting at home having made up with #1 cat*. We've been away for Xmas and the cats have been fed by a neighbour - they're both hardy outdoor types - but the guilt being heaped on is palpable.

*#2 cat hasn't appeared but it won't be long.

Removing Christmas lights from the Windows and taking down most of the decorations. I will leave one or two decorating up until the 5th

ElyDave · « **Reply #22473 on:** 02 January, 2019, 07:32:24 am »

The 5th being a Saaturday, that's probably when ours will happen

T42 · « **Reply #22474 on:** 02 January, 2019, 09:39:56 am »

We're just going to remove a few baubles a day, from about Saturday through to the end of January. Don't see any point in making it a time-consuming chore.

Back when we had real trees I used to slit open a 130-litre garden waste bag, lay it out flat on the floor and put the tree in the middle. The bag then got scrunched up round the base and hidden with tinsel etc. When we started removing the decorations we'd flatten out the bag again to catch the needles then demolish the remains with secateurs.
