to open a mulled gin and rinsed mince pie bar?

[MaryzBoychildCheeszuzCrizpz]

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

Fiderer
I went to the bastarding supermarket this afternoon and a woman grabbed me at the gherkins to demand how I could/should improve her son's English. I was moving towards the gin and when she offered to pay for any improvement, I swear I held my breath.

That's terrible, Fiderer. I hate being grabbed by the gherkins. (!) It's even worse when I'm then told to improve someone's English.

DH came back from M+S this morining a broken man.

Sniggers at 'rinse the mince' and reindeer fucking.

What one earth is it a euphemism for????

pacific did he encounter karaoke in M&S as well?

Maybe for washing the fanjo pre/post shag?
Ie, "darling, I'm off upstairs to rinse the mince "
Or
"Thank you darling, that was lovely, I'm just off to rinse the mince"

Gruntfuttock Maybe I should have said that for every past participle her son got right she could give me a gherkin

So who has a special beaker to rinse the mince in?

Is it an under the skin spot? Because then calamine can help magic it away.

If it's on the verge of eruption than a dab of aftershave will help speed up making it ready for the big squeeze.

I am trying to work out when to wrap my presents.

I used to always do it at midnight on Christmas eve (or a bit earlier if I could get the kids to sleep). But now they will be home staggering in pissed at about present wrapping time.

I could do it early tomorrow. Like before about 1 as they won't rise early. But I have in my head a lovely Christmas Eve morning out culminating in a lovely Christmas Eve lunch with my children.

I think it might stay in my head though [sigh]

I was thinking more like:

• "Sharon looks a bit rough today. Is she unwell?"
• "Nah, I reckon she's just been rinsing the mince with Kevin again."

Not too sure on the specifics. Will have to get back to you on that.

Yes, Honey I think it is. No pus yet, but have tucked the klaxon under my arm, just in case.

See, Pacific I think your dad is right. Aftershave it is then...

No sporning on my clean thread, ta muchly.

I have to go to Tesco.

But ds's gf has turned up. I don't really want to leave them alone

Right, dc asleep, house tidied, rugs hoovered, bottles made, nails painted, baileys poured :)

All I need do tomorrow is change our bed sheets and put a couple of loads of washing away. And hand wash my trousers for Christmas day. Then I can snack and drink all day once DH has done with work :) :)

Do it when they're out getting pissed, Maryz? Or just say, "oi, no entering my bedroom until I tell you I'm not busy any more"?

I have wrapped my last present.

And thanks to the incredible bargain shopping Mummy, our trees going to look like the ones people complain about on here. And I don't care. He's a good boy and deserves every one of them.

Mary do it while they are out getting pissed?

I am now ignoring the rinse the mince talk. I'm a married woman. ::hoiks bosom and sniffs::

I have no idea when to wrap my presents as even my pre-teenagers seem to only wear out after me .
They'd be delighted to be opening Amazon boxes on Christmas morning won't they?

Don't you dare all agree with my dad - he'd just love that
I suppose there most be some truth to the astringent alcohol thing for spots, but he also insisted that this was the way forward to treat my DB's acne when he was a teenager. Ah well.

I want Bailey's too - we've got a new bottle. I need to test it, don't I??

Great minds, Tee, great minds! I have only two presents to go.

Is this Ballet Girlfriend, Maryz?

What are the actual chances of getting them all up tomorrow morning?

Anyone else having gales? We are waiting to put our bin out until the morning.

The good news is the PILs made it safely to London, despite the weather here and there. We were ready to have them here after all.

No, no wind here, TEE. And no snow

Ooooh, if it's the ballet girlfriend, I'd not leave either, MaryZ

Here you all are, blimey, I go and do practical things and you all move.
I don't like change.

Supportive shoulder punch for Liney, nothing overly emotional obvs, keep on with the wine and the hot builder.

M&S wasn't scary at all, I got loads of lovely stuff, there wasn't even a scrum for the pigs in blankets. It was a bit if an anti-climax if I'm honest.

Not a flake to be seen here PD.

Randall that's what you get for going out...there.... ::cue ominous music::

I have managed to not leave the house since Saturday. I may be here until Thursday. I'm okay with that.

I want Baileys too > it's only 3.20 here
