Its sometimes nice to know that you're not alone and in the same boat. I dread Christmas every year for this very reason.

Sod all, Bah Humbug......

Since the kids (my sisters) have grown up we dont have much to do with christmas as it is really for the kids.

So nothing at all on pressies, bought a bit extra food in as the shops will be getting in short supply of the basics.

Plus am not allowed to drink due to medication (Not that I drink much any way.) So all I hope for now is some good TV.

Just got back from shopping, make that £1650 Sad

So have you remembered all your OOF buddies in that splash out Tongue

Yes. I bought enough booze to have one for each of you. Thumbs Up!

But wait, I hear you say, you cant possibly drink 6000+ shots over the holiday period.

You are quite correct, I dont drink. But, then again, I have no 'buddies' either. Tongue

Yes you do Steve Kiss
