@midgebabe - it took me a moment to work out you meant he had a car battery on his floor. I was wondering why he had a car in his house Confused. I am not exactly on the ball at the moment...

Hello All

December at last 🎅🎄🍷

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
Don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
1994

Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance
But you still catch my eye
80s

You will get a sentimental feeling
When you hear, voices singing Let's be jolly,
deck the halls with boughs of holly

@FlouncingBabooshka Sorry things are not going well at the moment. Would chucking mince pies at them help? (On a plate of course, not literally 😁

To be fair, he did have most of the car in the house

CoffeeBeansGalore · 01/12/2020 20:53

She didn't see me creep
Down the stairs to have a peep
She thought that I was tucked up
In my bedroom, fast asleep

Is that I saw mummy kissing santa claus??

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 01/12/2020 21:00

You don't think we're peaking too early here do you?
We don't want to be over excited by the 24th, ow we won't properly enjoy The Big Day

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 01/12/2020 21:00

Or not ow!

midgebabe · 01/12/2020 21:00

Perhaps one a day, like an advent calendar?

Fleamaker123 · 01/12/2020 21:15

I wouldn't have remembered it was Mel Smith 😕

CoffeeBeansGalore · 01/12/2020 21:21

Correct to I saw mummy kissing Santa Claus.

Ok, I'll stop now. Although last year I really liked the Arianna Grande (sp?) one, Tell me Santa. The last week of term I had Christmas songs playing via YouTube on the laptop. It's nice to ease into the Christmas break .

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 01/12/2020 21:30

shinynewapple2020 · 01/12/2020 21:37

A few more lyrics to what I posted yesterday , a theme . Not Christmas!

The ocean is a desert with its life underground
And a perfect disguise above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans will give no love

You see I've .......

70s

I've got a feeling in my knees
It's a feeling only you can please
There ain't no way I'm gonna let you out of my sight
Alright

70s

I cry each night my tears for you
My tears are all in vain
I hope and I pray that maybe some day
You'll be back (you'll be back) in my arms (in my arms) once again

70s (but the original was 50s or 60s and there was a version early 2000s)

Already got

Year of the cat - Al Stewart
The lion sleeps tonight - Tight Fit

@ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf

Hey FlouncingB.

So sorry you're still living in chaos. That's awful. As if this year wasn't already shit enough!

Yup, seems my house looked at 2020 and decided it could ramp things up a bit.

Thanks for the warm welcome. It’s nice to be back Smile

I’ve lost the run of things a bit. Is there another awards evening planned?

I’ll post my theme soon. Apologies in advance but it’s a trifle convoluted...

shinynewapple2020 · 01/12/2020 22:00

That's interesting Coffee so the possibility that schools maybe closed an extra week ? I think you're in Scotland?

And yes to Tiger Feet

CoffeeBeansGalore · 01/12/2020 22:21

@shinynewapple2020 yes Scotland. But different authorities have set different dates anyway.
