Christmas 2024

Strange old Christmas for various reasons I’m sure I’ll talk about at some point on here.

But the days been good so far. In Cornwall to spend it with my wife’s family so started the day just my wife, the pooch and myself having a walk along the beach, now sat watching The Wrong Trousers. Father in law’s a bit mental with his strict schedule of the food must be ready at 1pm on the dot, and it’s late as it stands so he’s stressing everyone out. But otherwise a good day so far.

Merry Christmas my fellow n26 nerds. Another great year of virtual conversation and without getting to soppy I’m grateful for such a supportive group in a safe place in the mental health thread. Really has helped me a lot.

Hope you all have a great day!

told the kids we’re not getting up until 8 and they were amazing and didn’t knock on my door until then. Just been jamming Smells like teen spirit with me on Guit and middle one on bass. He’s so stoked on it.

On call this Christmas so no drinking at all which I don’t really mind. Also got this which I’m hoping I can get stuck into later on:

Asthmatic 3 year old has shaken it off and is now pushing up and down the front room on her new penny board, NOT EVEN MONGO EITHER, in her little pads. Proper pushing and balancing, not little push, push, push. Her 9 year sister can’t do that after 2 years trying.

I’d rather watch my (youngest) daughter push.

Had to sack off going to my sister in laws for christmas. Wife’s in a massive mood + ill. Me and her have flu (or something) but my son seems over it so thats good. Day just feels like a random saturday.

Currently cooking a ham big enough for 14 people for 2. I think it’s the last bit of food in the house so will be on an all ham diet for a while.

My son is currently not looking at the mountain of shit he got and is watching Steve Backshalls deadly animals on cbeebies. Not even a christmas one.

Oh and the cream for my dauphenois was use by the 21st so having to make do with mash.

All in all a pretty shit one but i know perspective is absoutely everything and obviously hundreds of thousands if not millions are having a truly terrible day. I’m not feeling too bad really.

I know a family who’s teenage son is having proton beam therapy for brain cancer so i need to remember that when I’m not having a great day.

Merry christmas!

Update: my dog just did a massive sloppy shit in the middle of my father in law’s living room - MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Jesus christ.

I assume you’re already halfway back home.

That’ll do me.

Heard my Gran tell my brother he was her favourite grandchild, I was sat on the floor next to the them :joy: I’m not surprised.

Back home ready for Boxing Day with little man.

MerryChristmas y’all. Just closed the door on the last of the family after hosting and have got stuck into the baileys with fat cat watching raiders while wife does bedtime. Nice having family round even if they can annoy you, could always be worse.

Hope you all had lovely days with whoever you spent it with. Big up yourselves xxx

My wife’s making me watch Gavin And Stacey and we both hate it but can’t be fucked to reach for the remote. Knowing Raiders is on is almost painful.

Gavin and Stacey is the fucking worst shit ever. The fact James Cordon is still on the telly baffles me. He’s got to be the biggest jebend known to mankind yet somehow gets a pass. Unbelievable

It’s unspeakable. No matter how terrible you think it is multiply it by any amount you like. It looks like an episode of that daytime shite Doctors but with even worse acting. Much worse actually.

It’s still on and I don’t know why. I could be watching Columbo or Poirot or anything else on earth.

I was having a G&S rant at work about how shit it is thinking everyone would chime in in agreement, nope, universally loved by them all and they ‘can’t wait’ for the xmas special. Awful.

Anyway that’s it I’m done, no more shit food. Been grazing constantly like a toddler for about a month and time to stop.
