Yes we’ve been in tier 3 for ages. Our nearest town had some of the highest figures, although they’ve gone down, and our rural area had low figures.

Shiny is it Merry Xmas Everyone by Shakin Stevens?

shinynewapple2020 · 17/12/2020 22:32

Correct honey

We are tier 3 as well Sad

@Honeyroar

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
(89/90!)

I know this one!

PS Needtoknow I’ve got a sibling like that!
Omg @Honeyroar and @shinynewapple2020 .. (and two - double trouble!) 😱😱😱😱

I honestly wouldn't wish my brother on anyone. Its an ongoing nightmare. Massive issues. I wanted to start a thread on it but the detail is so outing, as he's an everyday arsehole but in a unique way Grin.. anyway back to times, no-one got my earlier end of term one.

[quote midgebabe]@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 [/quote]
I love the Springsteen version too. His croaky voice 😍

@midgebabe - You're drinking gin. You haven't eaten. You don't feel right. Have you considered you might be drunk? (I know I am 😳)

Honeyroar · 17/12/2020 22:43

Can you repost it? I missed everything earlier. (you guys sneak on when I’m not looking, I need a chime when someone enters the thread!).

Perhaps they bred crap siblings in our era!

NeedToKnow101 · 17/12/2020 22:45

Bah, humbug" no, that's too strong
Cause it is my favorite holiday
But all this year's been a busy blur
Don't think I have the energy
80s

NeedToKnow101 · 17/12/2020 22:47

You light my fire
I feel alive with you, baby
You blow my mind
I'm satisfied

Honeyroar · 17/12/2020 22:48

Is the first one The Waitresses (haha very appropriate!) Merry Xmas?

CoffeeBeansGalore · 17/12/2020 22:49

Must have been the 70s for breeding pain in the arse siblings . . .

Sorry about work honey pie. You're still in T3, huh?
But good for keeping your mum safe(r).

Hugs for those who have family issues at this emotional time of year, after this atrocious year. Hugs n love

I blame boring 70's Sunday afternoons cooped up with siblings and being forced to play Monopoly.. we all hate each other now 😂

Who on here is drinking? 🙋‍♀️

Fleamaker123 · 17/12/2020 23:01

Yes ClearingSpace.. And sorry I know you're not partial to Christmas tunes 🙂

Honeyroar · 17/12/2020 23:05

Nope I’ve only had two baileys and they were in coffees, so don’t count! 🤪

NeedToKnow101 · 17/12/2020 23:06

Just one glass of red, that doesn't count either. Grin

Monopoly/Mousetrap/Frustration/Connect 4. The strops when they lost. Yes, the joys of having younger siblings. I wished I was an only child a lot!
