On pint number two in counihans, it's going down well .......a bit too well 😏😏

votecounts

Pubside with a pint in hand, was meant to be finished for the christmas, but got word that I have to meet a couple of clients on Monday, grrr
Ah well, it's a Friday so fcuk it:)
Hope everyone is well.

Capitulation-side aka finally putting the damn tree up.

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em

Trigger Happy

Wrapping presents for the nice ones in my life with Xmas fm playing in the background and a drop of Prosecco to keep me lubricated.
I will be back to my normal grumpy self soon. Promise.

Finishing up at the tech desk. Feeling emotional. My last job in Ireland. London in the new year. So it's beer and steak time. A party for one!

Mmm tea.......hope your serving the good stuff 😏? Aka "Barry's" 😛

It is indeed Barry's, Seph The red box. I'm not sure if I'm kidding myself that it's different to any other tea, though. It's all just camellia sinesis leaves, nothing else. But Lyons always seems too strong or something. Maybe it's the differently shaped tea bags. *ponders *

At home now dolling myself up and listening to Brantley Gilbert's "bottoms up"

"I see you and me riding like Bonnie & Clyde
Doing ninety five burning down one twenty nine
She's looking for the law while I push my luck..."

No...really tarry and strong...that's strange that were getting different impressions. Sometimes I make tea with the teabag I'd just used to make tea for someone else, because the first cup is too strong for me. With Lyons I'd make two cups for others before it seemed mild enough for me to use.
I'm not sure if I'm making any sense, sorry. I've just cracked open the Malibu

Grandeeod

High stool at my home bar. Steak out the fridge settling into room temp.

The Crazy Cat Lady

couchside, thinking on what to buy for my last christmas present (set limit at €20, €7 left)

Sephiroth_dude

I'm couch side.....

Anybody can get a litter picker, gloves and a roll of plastic bags.

That poster would only start threads assuming lifestyles and societal norms based on finding a particular piece of litter.


Settling down in front of the fire and writing a few long overdue letters.

Gremlinertia

Deskside, stretching and creaking

Sephiroth_dude

Deskside , cat hospital time 😸

honeybear

Taking a break and channeling my inner Nigella by watching Masterchef: The Professionals. Vino may also be on the menu!

Kitty6277

Couchside in my jamies with a cuppa. Got out of work early tonight so I’m happy out. Feeling like going out though, hmm

Mam of 4

Lacking the motivation this evening to do anything tbh , hope everyone that finished up work today for the next few weeks , enjoys their time off

Ghosteen

Perched. Off work now for two weeks and two days. I really needed​ this holiday. Looking forward to a lovely Christmas with my beloveds.

Mam of 4

ITV4 , ROCKY

That is all !

Have thrown in the (tea) towel (wish I had made a greater effort in Home Ec. lessons!)
Hitting the hay.
Road trip tomorrow ... when will I learn to say no?

Wish I had ITV4, but have it on DVD. Although having it on the telly would be cool as I haven't got a DVD player hooked up to the telly!:D

Ooh a few seasons of QI exist on netflix, sorted for prework telly for a while

ITV4 seems like a great channel. Gonna settle in with something on youtube. Had hoped for a bit of a Christmas Party here, but its all crocked ladies in this house!

LONDON!

Finally getting appreciated for what I do and at my age I'm delighted. But the time away from my wife and daughter will be tough. However, it has to be done and that's me being a little selfish.

To look after them you have to look after you, not at all selfish, go G!

Pretzill

Not going to rap tonight. I did wrap earlier as all pressies have been delivered on time or bought in time. That's unusual here, and I think I have over done it to make up for the last few years of trying to forget Christmas.

Grandeeod I wish you well in your exciting new chapter for 2020 - it will, I'm sure work out for you and the family. Mam, Rocky! When Stallone was at his handsomest

I'm Reclinerside with a night cap, flicking the channels. Night everyone.

Seriously lads! Thank You! Mam of Four too!

Couchside. Finally out wrestled the fairy lights

New phase Grandeeod. Enjoy Christmas and New Years, then on and upwards for you and so your family too I hope.
I'm moving to a new gig in Jan too - end of month though. Delighted with myself - less stress, less travel, less responsibility, more money

Kitty6277

Bedside pondering. Slightly in the same vein as conversation here. I’m not one for the “new year new me” thing but I’m feeling good about 2020, I wanna make it my year, go after the things I want and hopefully get them.

Positive thoughts :pac:

smurfjed

Grandeeod, London isn't that far away thanks to low cost flights, good luck with the new adventure.

smurfjed

less stress, less travel, less responsibility, more money

That's the best part :) Good luck to you as well.

smurfjed

Sitting here waiting on the mutt to join me, clear skies, light wind and a cool 22 degrees.

I hate London Heathrow airport at this time of year, even in my fancy dress, but needs must.

ILoveYourVibes

im off to bed ....nite yall

Gremlinertia

Deskside hoping for pictures of Mutt and jealous of people going to bed :P

Couchside picturing Mutt in Captains hat and jacket with stripes

smurfjed

Mutt has realised that I'm getting ready to go to work, so he has gone back to bed and is ignoring me Plus the jacket would be too big for him

smurfjed

Best that we could do at short notice

Gremlinertia

Aww his eyes and the jaunty angle of the hat!

Autosport

Morning all

Happy Saturday!!!

Heading to the coalface

Grandeeod

When I don't have to be awake, I'm awake! May as well get the Christmas grocery shopping done.
