The carer bought loads of lovely foodie stuff 'for chistmas' last week, I was gutted when he hid it & wouldn't let me eat it.......I should have been quicker...
I've got the majority of the main meal now, just need a nice bit of beef, then I'll get the potatoes a lot closer to the day. Almost got all the presents too.

All finished and thought I'd make a head start on kitchen by removing cupboard doors and shelves.

I'm having a bit of trouble with my Christmas preparations. These Claymore Mines, you have to angle them very carefully on the roof so they only get Santa, Rudolph and his sidekicks, but not damage any tiles or other roof objects.

Not easy I can tell you.

:P:P:P:P:P

PS

Demon on shoulder: "Go on Bob, say it, you know you want to."
Me: "Naa, it's too corny."
Demon on shoulder: "Just say it you bloody weener ..."
Me; "Ok Ok, Jeez, keep your scales on. BAH HUMBUG !!"

A bloke I worked with got moved to Kidsgrove and, after a while driving up there, he bought a house. Some of his furniture was going to be old desks that he had bought from the factory and I got roped into helping him to collect them one Saturday morning.

We got through the 'security' and drove round the deserted factory, to where he had hidden his desks.

In the yard outside the roller door that they were behind, were two Rapier trailers.

And my pickup had a towbar...

I still regret failing to persuade him hard enough.

There's a problem with missiles. I tried to bring down Santa with a Stinger last year, due to an unforeseen discrepancy I shot down the Cornwall Air Ambulance instead. You won't believe the trouble I had avoiding the blame for that one.

So no, it's Claymore Mines for me people.

Found the magic word !

Took hubbys 'specimen' back to the GP surgery this morning for him as he was working . OK for him sat at home , sending me off to carry it there at arms length ! Rather embarrassing as instead of using filling the little shovel thing attached to the inside of the specimen tube , I think he'd used the garden shovel to fill the whole tube up! :barf:

I asked for a future appointment for him within the next month,(Last nights doctor substituted one of his heart meds for another to see if it could solve another problem. Only 28 days worth of tablets and needed to see him again.)
"No , non-available" . Told her GP last night had substituted one of the repeat medications that the Cardiac Consultant had prescribed a few years ago after his heart op, and needed to see him again within the month to see if all working ok or not. She soon magically found an appointment suddenly appear on her screen once that magic word Cardiac Consultant came into the equation !

20 years I've been going to metal gigs and last night was the first time I have ever seen a Twerk Pit (as opposed to a Mosh Pit).

Never say there's nothing new under the sun!
Hope it's a bit less rough than the mosh Pits. Son once ended up battered and bruised with a cracked rib after getting the middle of one :roll:

In my days 'The bump' got rather rough in the discos ( well , it did when we were messing about , more like kick boxing πŸ˜‚ )

Finding I've got no choice than to join in the dancing on the dance floor. To get to the loos means walking across it , and not managed to just 'walk ' across and back without getting caught up in the moment πŸ‘―β€β™€οΈ

Just had some geordies , visiting Cheltenham races, insisting on buying me a cider. Apparently refusing is an insult , asked for a half ( as already had rather a few..) and a pint appeared
