To carry on the complaining and to drown Liney.

I've opened it in AIBU to piss off Trills etc and to see if mnhq leave it here

Maryz Why are you being apocalyptic all of a sudden? Did I miss a bunfight about Drinking Responsibly? It's good to Drink Responsibly, Maryz. Comatose adults can present a tripping hazard, which is dangerous for -slightly less drunk adults-- small children

Also, according to Mumsnet and I hope to Small Gods only on Mumsnet, lots of people poo and wee in wardrobes if they get too pissed. Clearing that up must be a less fun way to spend Christmas Day than watching the Queen's Speech. Xmas Envy Probably takes longer, as well.

Just keep drinking

Last year DS1 decided to have a drink everytime Tintin spoke to his dog.
That was funny

Fiderer · 24/12/2013 19:10

Bugger did I miss Nemo? I've got King's Carols on and several million watts in festive lighting as accompaniment.

Sparklingbrook · 24/12/2013 19:13

It's on now BBC1 Fid but it's a long way through-nearly finished I think.

TweaselsDrankMyGluhwein · 24/12/2013 19:15

Wine is finally open here. What a day.

DS(8)has been in pyjamas since 2pm asking if it's bed time yet Confused and we're keeping the whole nature of today a secret from DD(2) because, well quite frankly, she's fucking nuts.

She cannot contain the excitement from seeing a dog do a shit outside the front window and has been shouting "dog poo" all day as well as a new phrase taught to her by DS which is the delightful "penis face". Oh the joy.

Family arriving soon so will have to engage in RL. Just wanted to say Merry Christmas lovely people Wine Wine

Fiderer · 24/12/2013 19:16

Arse. Great film. My d & I still do the "You shall be my squishy" talk when having tickling contests.

Fiderer · 24/12/2013 19:18

Odd x-post Tweasels Xmas Grin Enjoy the evening and a Merry Christmas to you Wine

TweaselsDrankMyGluhwein · 24/12/2013 19:28

That's so sweet Tweasels

Just lay off my Glühwein Xmas Wink

MaryzBoychildCheeszuzCrizpz · 24/12/2013 19:35

I have just watched the end of Nemo for the very first time.

I have seen the beginning and the middle (mostly separately) a gazillion times. I rather like the end Xmas Grin

Helloooo Pag, and everyone wot is 'ere.

Yes, Jessie, you missed some sanctymoanyarses [mutter]

I have three teenagers. They are insisting that I do their presents the way father christmas I have always done them. Which involves much stuffing of small items one by one into rugby socks, placing said socks inside sacks with random slightly too large items, and placing said sacks in bedrooms after they are asleep. There are a couple of issues.

  1. They will never be asleep
  2. If they did go to sleep I would be asleep first.
  3. If I wasn't asleep I would be drunk and incapable.

And I don't want to do it. I don't want to wrap at all.

And we ended today the same way we began it: a full pullup.

Fingers crossed that's the end until tomorrow or I'll be up half the night cleaning poo.

Who has the corkscrew?

Presents are under the tree.

Poor Small Boy Tee if he's not well he'll likely be all over the place (not literally I hope for your sake but ykwim)

This do you?

Sparklingbrook · 24/12/2013 20:03

Hi all, good to see the alcohol is flowing freely. I have a 2 yo nutter as well! He shat on the floor earlier and kept prodding it saying, ' ur didut-ting' repeatedly. Xmas Hmm he also chases the big kids around roaring and making claw hands.
Aw, I missed Nemo, we do 'mine.mine.mine.'
Ah, but babyTwit is in bed now, the next two are about to go, which means we can finally get the wrapping finished as long as the oldest two stay the fuck away.
Sorry to hear people aren't feeling well I have tonsillitis hope you feel better soon. I have discovered gin and tonic burns the throat at first, but quickly helps soothe it if you press on. Earlier i got a load of throat stones up which was nice so hopefully On TheMend.
Anyway selfish small people are making lets get ready for Santa noises, having been tracking him on the nordar Santa tracking thing ( he's in turkey now I think ) so I'll have to go.
Have a lovely day tomorrow everyone.

Doesn't Mumsnet have an argument about exactly how intoxicated is Too Intoxicated every Christmas? No, every few months, actually?

PacificDingbat · 24/12/2013 20:40

Well, we put reindeer dust out in the garden, there's mince pie and milk for Santa + carrot for Rudolph in front of the fireplace, DH (bless him) is putting Littlies to bed after we check on Norad. I hope they sleep and don't combust spontaneously should there be a house fire. DH is not drinking because he is 'working' in an on-call type capacity until tomorrow morning (fingers crossed he won't get called out), so ALL the wine if mine

I never got the 'You cannot have a drop of alcohol while in the house alone with a young child' thing Hmm. Yes, by all means don't get absolutely blotto, but otherwise... MN weirdness.

GodRestTEEMerryGenTEEmen · 24/12/2013 20:45

Small Boy was so looking forward to leaving out a mince pie and some milk and he's feeling so poorly he completely forgot.

I hope he's better tomorrow. Santa's been and there's tons of stuff!

Xmas Grin

PD MN is bizarre about many many things.
