Happy Back To Normal!

The Backwards Man

The decorations are back in the attic, the Christmas jumpers are in the press, the kids are almost back to school, the once a year idiots are back in bed at this time of a Monday. I'm back pished of a Monday, in the pub with the dart men and the farmers!

It's great to get back to the old routine, don't you agree?

whatismyname

Yes.

Are the 'dart men' the men who give you a 'dart'?

Yeah happy to be back into a routine, xmas week started to drag a bit for me towards the end.

Back to work myself on Wednesday. Tonight is my first night to not have a drink if some sort since mid December.

Thank Jebus it's over now.

Yes! I have put my Grinch away for another year. I can now enjoy quiet pints in old man pubs that aren't over run by Christmas jumper wearing eejits who have no business in such establishments. Parking spaces have appeared again. Queues have disappeared.
Equilibrium has been restored and I can have my toasted ham and cheese in my favourite little spot in peace

That was me this time last year. It was torture. Do you have to write the whole thing before Friday?

If it's about beer or turf I could help?

NO have to get chapter one, research methods, and all academic research done by Sunday, it's due by the 22nd.

Considering I had 3 days off over the whole Christmas period (Christmas day being one of those) the holidays I am taking will be very welcome

None no.

Can't imagine being finished and FREE!

I lecture in what I am writing so that makes it a lot easier than a regular student, but is also a hindrance

Might get an extension to the 29th

10000 words? That's not a thesis. That's a long essay. Sure, Holly Carpenter would knock that out over a long weekend.

Oh I can imagine the pressure you put yourself under. A friend of mine is at the very early stages of a PhD. He is climbing the walls!
The best of luck with it Steno

Thank you. I just need to knuckle down and do the writing and finish the research

Planned on leaving the tree up for a few more days, but was tidying up today and couldn't just ignore the elephant in the room.

I love Xmas and especially Xmas trees (I'm like a 34yo Kevin McCallister) but enough was enough.

I must admit it was nice to get back to normal.

'Jingle Bells' is still stuck in my head though...

I'll miss the "what day of the week is it" bantz.

My parents are very traditional and they took my brother coming out very well. Didn't really care at all. If any of us told my mother that we took down the decorations before the 6th of January she'd neaely disown us.

Happy days! Pubs will go back to normal, no long queues, kids locked up most of the day! We were just closed Christmas Day at work . It was also the worst one/ year I've had (so far)

HAPPY JANUARY !!!

Our tree is still up until the 6th, Mr. Grinch. Only 355 days until Christmas!

Decorations allways come down day after Women's Little Christmas to be technically correct.
