I'm with gib but to be fair most of my illness is self inflicted Through fear of sounding ba humbug, ive got to say, I really hate Christmas. It is all just commercialised rubbish. Everyone spending money that they havn't got to buy things that people don't really need, only for them to then have to go out of their way to buy something that they also can't afford & then might not even like. Why don't everyone just keep the money & have done with it. I can understand if you enjoy it for religious reasons, or if you have kids but its not for me. 2 weeks off - great, excuse to drink without looking like an alcy - great, home alone, et & 48 hours of soaps - cr@p, everything else - cr@p. Can't wait til 2011 & using the money I didn't spend this year, on car parts

Just booked another holiday for 2011

Drinking yet more Bitburger (thank you Waitrose for stocking it and the 20% off), women folk are preparing my dinner and life is sweet here - ok so the TV is cr@p and hence I'm on here.

Merry Christmas one and all.

Sorry can't send you a text Derek as only emergency calls here in this part of Shaftesbury - but go down the local convenience shop and buy a twelve pack of some decent beer - I'll even pay for it when I see you in 2011 !

I have been trying to write an assignment whilst family are all away. It's lonely but brilliant! Not the assignment of course....

Just got in from my fourth job of the day. Managed to get my dinner, but even that was accompanied with my sister shouting at her boyfriend.

Christmas has never done anything for me!

Well.....

Fed the old folk, chilled for an hour then set about the dishes.
Nowt on tv, so dad decided we should watch all the DVDs of our holidays in south Africa over the past 20 years !! Pics & vids I've seen countless times.

Got a running comentary from dad all the way through, & comments from mum like " we've been there"........... I KNOW !!!!! Yr in the bloody video !!

After I did tea, & the dishes..... Again, mum went to her bedroom to watch corrie & eastenders etc.... I was left with dad & 2 hours of " during the war" :-(

Before I lost the will to live, I left around 9.30 to walk home in -7 temp with my one remaining can of cats piss. I really needed an early night. No chance :-( ............ The neighbors upstairs were having a party!

Drum & bass till the early hours !



Deep joy :-(
