It's to be paid this financial year apparently. Also presume it will be taxed. Unless something catastrophic happens before it's paid, DH says he's donating his, if and when he gets it.

🤣 we all have one of those bottles, also a crusty-capped Baileys at the back there too. This is why we are T4-ers.

(Now I’m remembering how much I like a festive snowball drink and it’s been years since I had one, maybe this year is the year?)

Does anyone else think these threads start the day kinda serious and everybody is a bit fed up, then by this point in the day we're all borderline hysterical? Can you imagine the state of us all when this is finally over?

Baileys never gets left in this house. Boys first had one when we were abroad and now they have a very inflated view of what a measure is. I got a litre on a deal so I've stashed it along with a bottle of chambord.

yeah, we wind each other up over the course of the day and let loose by bedtime.

Yes, @Rae36 I was all angry earlier, just awake now when I should be sleeping. Hysteria is needed or we’d cry, I think.

@WaxOnFeckOff

Nicola Sturgeon is scared of my cats

Is she scared of all cats or just yours specifically?

Dunno, but she has met mine - long story - and one of them jumped down from behind a curtain as she was being filmed and gave her a right scare. Her assistant whispered "that's going in the Christmas bloopers reel" as her reaction was hilarious. That was my big cream boy, 28lb of snuggly lump!
WouldBeGood · 30/11/2020 23:36

Thanks for the advice - I feel much more confident about having a Safe Christmas now

WouldBeGood · 30/11/2020 23:36

Yes, @Rae36😃

I'm also thinking a snowball on Christmas Eve sounds the business.

Did anyone else have them as a fairly small child? I can actually remember getting drunk and having that fuzzy feeling and i'd be be about 8 or 9? Oops! One New Year we had open house and my friend ended up staying over, when we woke up there were people all over the place sleeping/passed out and so we made ourselves a drink for breakfast, I had a snowball and she had a shandy. That would be lateish primary school as we weren't friends in high school. :o

I actually don't drink much but I just like to know I can if I want.

That's a story that needs telling at some point @StatisticallyChallenged. I'm heading to bed now. Sounds like DH not snoring so I have a window of opportunity to get to sleep.

Just spotted this- I hope there’s many more as kind as your husband, wax, if they’re in a position to donate it could really help others who are seriously in need this year (and every other before that).

Let’s send in the cats! @StatisticallyChallenged (although somewhat missing the scary element, they look lovely!)

WouldBeGood · 30/11/2020 23:45

Send in the cats... title of next thread.. to the tune of send in the clowns

StatisticallyChallenged · 30/11/2020 23:47

Oh they're not even remotely scary. They're the biggest soppiest lumps possible. They've cured kids of cat phobias there so gentle, I have numerous photos of my kids using them as pillows. There's a 4th one too. But wee nippy was not a fan

Funny thing was the reporters were much more interested in the cats Grin

Oh sweet jesus no, @fluffysocks75 you have been in lockdown too long. It's messing with your head.

Awww he's cute, he can first foot for sure. Needs some booties though if we can't antibac him...

She is not very tolerant so I think it will be no on anti baccing or bootees, maybe from inside a box?

Fluffy Noooooo! If you are drunk sober up right now - if sober I’m not sure you can be helped Grin

Love the cat pics (far preferable to Jason 😱)
