Yip. Have been all along...rather fortunate given DH covid vulnerablity. Barely seen a human being all year.

@CoffeeBeansGalore - You better be good for goodness sake
(Better be good for goodness sake)

That's Santa Claus is coming to Town I think? I think of it as Bruce Springsteen.. (oh I'm probably wrong again)

midgebabe · 17/12/2020 20:09

Btw, for my one, if you get the first letter of the band and roughly the right number of letters you will be awarded the points. There is no way I could check the spelling with any kind of accuracy

Pipped by banging on ! Grin

I think Bruce has sung it but it predates him

@ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf - I'm fine thanks. Got long-running issues with a sibling. I try to grey rock him but i have to communicate with him occasionally. 😳😳😳😳

CoffeeBeansGalore · 17/12/2020 21:05

Correct for Santa Claus is coming to town. It was Brucie's version I was aiming for 😊

Have I missed confirmation of our Christmas jamboree night?

CoffeeBeansGalore · 17/12/2020 21:09

@midgebabe In that case although you still have a week to go, you can have mulled wine & mince pies & no one will see you slipping down the sofa 🍷🎅😄

I’m a trying to arrange pre Birthday Zoom drinks with some friends. Don’t want to clash - though I suppose I could surreptitiously mumsnet just out of shot...

midgebabe · 17/12/2020 21:13

@CoffeeBeansGalore I love the Bruce version.

I am on dds gin. But no mince pies, not feeling hungry. Haven't eaten since lunchtime. Holding off on calling the doctors , but it's not normal

Coming Monday or the next one?

CoffeeBeansGalore · 17/12/2020 22:04

Evening all Smile

Lucky everyone finishing this week , I'm pretty much working over Christmas but I'm part time and working from home so not too bad .

Just done a zoom Christmas catch up with some friends 🎄🥤🎊🍹💕🙂

Honeyroar · 17/12/2020 22:14

Evening all.

No I’m not going back to work. Quite relieved really, was dreading a café packed with mixing families and revellers for two weeks - I’d rather have a safe, quiet Christmas, won’t be worrying about passing anything onto mum. Not so good financially though!

Honeyroar · 17/12/2020 22:16

This one is especially for our soppy little shelf elf..

I was thinking about parking the other night
We were out on the back road
Me and my baby was just getting right
All systems on overload

PS Needtoknow I’ve got a sibling like that!
