COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

I'm still on the hunt for bens present.

You and Kirsty, both still searching.
I've got some to buy, but I've a pretty good idea what I'm getting.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Like I just posted for Kirsty...when in doubt visit the lady's unmentionable department! Easy to shop for dudes!

If wifey buys me an unmentionable lady, I will be most perturbed!

Much better than yesterday, bit still a bit rough.
How are you today ?

Similar to Ed but thanks to Suki he's feeling Ruff

We actually already celebrated our Christmas super early! We have to do medical travel several times a year and always have to visit the hospital around Christmas time, so it's pretty common that we do presents really early. When we're gone, we'll visit relatives and have Christmas with Grandma and Grandpa then as well.

We went all out like you would on the real day. It's nice. It gives the kids a chance to play with toys and chill out before we do our travel.


I've been cutting open complicated toy packaging FOR DAYS. I can't believe the work that goes into toy packaging. Hubby is still grading term papers and almost done. I'm catching up on laundry and trying to get the house and animals in order for the upcoming trip. I'm also avoiding all Star Wars discussion because I'm going to see it with my relatives! Woo hoo!

Rough as a piece of old bark.

boo . I should have stayed on but there's cold beer and a hot bath waiting at home


...claimed some overtime though

........much better than a cold bath and a hot beer.

Finished re-watching the Zygon invasion episodes. I agree with what you said about The Doctor forgiving Bonnie too quickly. It's a very sweet sentiment, but sheesh!!!...that was a seriously HIGH BODY COUNT! Not sure everyone would agree she should be on the loose.

Watched "Sleep no more" last night. I didn't say anything to my hubby, because I wanted to know his reaction. He ended up feeling the exact same way I did. ...blargh. So looking forward to him seeing "Heaven Sent!" I LOVED THAT ONE!!!

Your Christmas sounds fun, too!
As for toy packaging, it's often more fun and intriguing than the toy. Modern version of playing with the box, not the present, that i used to do.
Hope you enjoy the Star Wars, i'm still in two minds about watching it.

I had a coach load of German tourists at a stand up gig I did, one time.
They never laughed once during my little twenty minute routine, just muttered to each other and glared at me.
Afterwards, I was propping up the bar when half a dozen beefy germans came up to me looking most grim and I searched my mind for anything I may have said to offend them, war jokes, politics, 1966 football, but no, couldn't think what it could be. I though they were going to clobber me.
"Ve vish to talk to you abowt yor coma-dy." said the spokesman.
I gulped.
"Ve think it is verrry funny!, Tell us sum more, now! "
Different sense of humour sometimes, nice people.

ve have vays of making you laugh!

These days, I think it's more torture for parents than fun for kids.
I'm a Star Wars kook, but I say don't watch it. You didn't enjoy the originals anyway.

 

[Lyn W]

nope, first time

Don't burn it or Jade will be hopping mad!

Oh, well, we'll have to agree to differ re "Sleep No More." i thought it was very clever.
So "Face the Raven" before the most remarkable "Heaven Sent".
Hope hubby loves them both!

Absolutely! We can agree to differ Much more interesting when friends have a different opinion. I'm the one in my book club that likes to pick fights and debate the books

Someone picked a cheesy romantic Nicholas Sparks novel for February...IT'S GONNA GET UGLY!!! I've already put my boxing gloves in the trunk so I don't forget them!

I loved the first one ( which I saw multiple times) and the third one at the time, but kind of lost interest.
i'll have to watch them all again and see if that reignites the spark.

I think you're all a bunch of lousy GERMAN-A-PHOBES!!!!

I'm surprised to hear this. I thought you were pretty anti.

I bought him a keyboard for his tablet lol and that's it - kinda embarrassing.

Hi Kirsty, does he drive? Something for the car? Sat nav? Dash cam? Car cleaning kit ? Fluffy Dice? 'Kirsty and Del' sun visor strip across windscreen? Wish I had lots of ideas for my own family...
