[Old Frumpy]

jaypo.....did you mean OH and I or OH, me and her....... :'(Cin anycase I don't go anywhere without my fourlegged friend.....so he comes too or I don't go.


CLKD  birthdays and coming up to Christmas.....oh dear

I get weary about thinking about it....not really sure any event should way so heavy....still I can chill out on the port ( and if it really gets bad I can add a wee bit of brandy to it) Shh thats between us as hubby has no idea!

[jaypo]

Ha, meant all of you but no,not doggy, I miss mine terribly when we go away,thankfully my daughter lives with us and she dog sits,so no kennels,couldn’t do that to them

[CLKD]

It is in London: Oxford Street lights, switched on already 

[jaypo]

Isn’t it funny how Sadiq Khan  says the ulez charge is to help with climate but come Xmas all those lights don’t seem to matter 🤔

[CLKD]

   'they' don't listen to themselves ........  .  We have someone locally who complains about X, Y, Z to us then we see that he has done X for example himself  I don't let it go, pointing out the previous conversations about X and how is he any different  . Wooden spoon, moi

Saw the first house with Christmas decorations yesterday. It just ruins the specialness (is that even a word??) of Christmas when they've been around for 2 months!!

[Old Frumpy]

Can I confess I bought my first present for hubby today.....Oral B toothbrush.

Small steps that's me......worked really hard last Sunday trying to convince him to go away for Christmas to a holiday cottage we
both like.....but no - was told it wouldn't be Christmas unless we were home!!!!

I can almost hear Mariah Carey whinning away with All I want for Christmas

[CLKD]

Would that B an electric version Old Frumpy 

[getting_old]

I buy presents throughout the year, when I see something good, but don't decorate until the week before Christmas.

I insist we go away for Christmas. OH suggested we didn't this year but has been persuaded 

[CLKD]

Well done, putting foot down with firm hand worked then?

We buy gifts when we C them.  Years ago we would buy in the 1st Jan Sales: when shops discounted items not like more recent years when Sales happen all the time.  Things would be wrapped, labelled and put away into a box ..... as long as I was able to remember where the box might be we were good 2 go on C.mas Eve.

We’re the opposite old frumpy,wouldn’t be Xmas unless we were away

It’s a hectic time, I’m on several rotas at the church so it’s either flower arranging/church warden duty/YouTube live streaming/ coffee tea and biscuits. Or stewarding the extra carol concerts and other popular concerts with performers from around the globe. My daughter is a church organist so it’s mega busy for her too she has three churches, one in Surrey and two in Norfolk that regularly employ her at the moment. Plus all the other stuff like presents and Christmas baking. Pickled some shallots this week. Will soak fruit in alcohol in the week leading to ‘stir-up’ Sunday. Also got my daughter’s birthday on 1st December! And occasionally get to go to work when I’m lucky🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[jaypo]

Off to work for a rest by the sound of it 

[Fuzzwhizzer]

Yes, sometimes it is quite restful 😂
