Ah Boo, I know it's not easy. I smoked properly for a long time too. But so worth stopping completely as it can be a slippery slope - but YOU have to want to do it for you. MrG sometimes smokes on a night out and it makes me soooo angry and he can't understand why xxx

If I take a hot chocolate with coconut into the hot tub with a Mounty, would that make it a Bounty experience?

I am a little woo. My mum has this thing about her Aunt who was a bit 'fay' (to use an Irishy word) and is convinced that it runs in the family. I've had strange, slightly supernatural experiences but no dream-like ones.

I only started smoking when I went to uni and there were the 'green' fags going around. Then, when I moved over here, I smoked properly for a year (cos everyone smokes here) then just decided to stop but I found it really hard for so many years to refuse a social ciggy. I think I'm over it now (10 years later!).

I have serious snow envy - it's pissing down over here...nothing Christmassy about that.

ladyG That's lovely about your dad. :)

I love of a bit of 'woo' me.

When I was younger some friends of mine died in an accident. A few days later I dreamt I was getting on a boat, I was nervous but one of them was on the boat & told me he was ok and we would get there. Woo enough right. Well then the next day my other friend had had a very similar dream. It makes me feel happy when I think of it now though.

I too was a smoker for 15 years. Gave up the year I was 30. Still want one when I drink though.

No point POAS - festive droid arrived in full earlier.

Milano nice furry boots Grin

Tom Hardy and I are not on speaking terms after a major altercation during my GCSEs. The miserable milkmaid-perving fecker. Ahem.

I demand chalet slaves to bring round lebekuchen and the lardiest melty cheese thing available. Tartiflette? Or that cheese you melt with a heater? Have forgotten what it is called. Reblochon?

AlpinePony · 24/12/2010 16:33

Raclette?

OP posts:
LadyGoneGaga · 24/12/2010 16:35

Raclette, mmmm!

milanomum · 24/12/2010 18:13

Mmmmm! raclette...
sunny boo to Droid.

Beshies - I wish you a very merry Christmas as I am off to celebrate in a Neapolitan-style
food fest for the next, ohhh, 6 hours prolly.

PrincessBoo · 24/12/2010 23:36

Just a quickie - Merry Christmas - snogs all round xxxx

AlpinePony · 25/12/2010 08:10

Neopolitan style? Everyone fighting over getting the chocolate slice? Confused

I played a blinder yesterday morning cooked up a storm, (did xmas last week) - so today my duties include: dog-walking, Baileys & re-heating stuff in the oven. Actually the most important thing I need to do today is go to the shed, dig out my ski trousers and find out if any of them fit because then I have two choices i) jump on online sales RIGHT NOW or ii) ski naked (will drive to nearest Primarni for furry knickers obv.).

I hope everyone has a lovely day - here's to the Baileys lasting beyond mid-morning!

Uuurgh merry xmas have certainly made the most of being allowed to drink and have sampled at least 4 different beverages! Had a nice day, hope you all have too! Boyfriend is a total star and gave me lovely thoughtful things! Merry Xmas beshes!!

AlpinePony · 26/12/2010 07:28

How are you feeling about stick pissage kat? Very glad to hear you had a lovely day. :) Just dropped jb off at work - it's fucking wrong isn't it that it's still dark at 8am. :( Thank baby jebus for winter tyres! Best present to myself all year.

Meh. I am so mithered - sales are on and I've got to be really careful as we've got a ski hol coming up and buying a bloody house and I'm getting so grown up I daren't even splash a bit in the sales "just in case". I hate being responsibubble.

Happy Boxing day BESHlets.

We have had the sechs fail due to over consumption of Port/champagne/red wine and the fact that our pipes froze yesterday so Christmas dinner was a total triumph over adversity - had to keep going next door for water to cook, wash up and flush the toilets with!

Have lagged the pipes with tea towels and texted the landlord - off to the mother in laws for my turn to be pampered - feet up today after all my hard work yesterday. Staying over tonight and sleeping in MILS bed so there is NO way that's going to happen. Blast.

AlpinePony · 26/12/2010 10:47

Your pipes froze so you hung tea towels over them? Shock That's a euphemism I've never heard before! Grin

kat2504 · 26/12/2010 19:02

alps I did a sneaky stick yesterday morning before I drank loads! Much too early of course!! But allowed me to enjoy the champers. May try again day after tomorrow if I can't wait but no symptoms whatsoever yet. How about you?

Ariesgirl · 26/12/2010 21:27

Hello everybody. Like the new fred. Have winter vomming virus in our house. Everyone has fallen like flies. If anyone had told me to HTFU today I would have wept messily all over them.

Hope everyone had a better Boxing Day than I have If Lucas gave himself to me on a plate now I would send him away.

InTheSunshine · 26/12/2010 22:04

BESHets I am at my BFFs house.greatest party ever. Sorry for the sick Aries. I am on the gin gin gin

PrincessBoo · 26/12/2010 22:34

Proper laughed at that one Alpy Xmas Grin

Huge sympathy Rie I am poorly sick with a horrid cold too so I'm sending Lucas out for some time off skiing, he'll be nice and sweaty when he gets back and in urgent need of a soaping from luscious wenches like our good selves...

AlpinePony · 27/12/2010 07:05

Aries Winter vomiting virus = drank 3 bottles of Baileys on my own on xmas day. HmmGrin Lovely to see you in these parts again, but please, find the energy to take Lucas - I don't like him - shifty looking y'see.

kat Well jb says I'm being a right moody bitch - but I think he's just being an annoying twat. Did cry during Home Alone II yesterday - jb didn't notice thank god! Blush Otherwise, no symptoms. Will POAS in a futile manner tomorrow morning maybe.

Sounds like good Christmas's were had all round! Am in Canada, and it's -10 degrees. Went skating today and bruised BOTH my knees. Seriously, it was skating! Wink Skiing tomorrow. Smile

Thanks for your good wishes everyone. Am in a bit of pain, but the emotional stuff seems to be a little easier than last time.

Hope all is well with you Boo. Our boiler packed up on the evening of Christmas eve, so we were kinda cold on Christmas day too. Alps - Baileys = the worst hangover I have ever experienced! Poor you!! And no green fags to help. Pleased to hear about all your snow though.

I hope all is well for you all for the holiday season. I take the quiet-ness on the thread as a good sign!
