Crepeys do Christmas...

[oldqueenie]

Will this fit the bill. Dull but seasonal?

And how much, good grief, did they drink? I would imagine seasonal supplies chez Schadenfreude are, ahem, not meagre...

Alto - that is truly crap. Can you at least go somewhere for a Nice Coffee?

MI - what is it about mothers? A friend of mine once said to my Mum "Oh you must be so proud of Mrs S and her career." My mother sniffed a bit and said "She was a really horrible child." And has always told me I am fat. I was looking at photos of me from my teen years the other day, and the realisation struck me that, I wasn't fat at all then. I actually had rather a good figure. Unfortunately this is no longer the case and I have ended up like "Alouette" with her double chin, swinging tits and big fat belly (I am not thinking about her "channel tunnel" at this point).

All of the beer, five bottles of red and one of white. Not quite all of the supplies, but half of the red. I got in extra gin for FIL, but he had a "bad experience" the other month and no longer drinks it.

I am now thinking that the champagne is not going to last for both Christmas and new year...

MrsS I think I would have hit dp if he treated me like that. Can't you go out for the day - for essential supplies a la Mr MI and hole up in a nice cafe with a glass bottle of red?
My two days with folks is looking pretty reasonable in comparison with other people's traumas.

Oh my! Christmas is a time of such good cheer

I am hoping the "men" of the Schadenfruede household are nursing very nasty hangovers today

Any one for a special crepeys-only Christmas somewhere hot next year?

Sign me up!!

HAPPY CHRISTMAS CREPEYS!

Have had such a hectic few months but have missed you all
all the best to everyone!

Happy Christmas Cremola

OK, this is not a whinge, I am genuinely laughing at this classic from dh:

"Don't expect too much in the way of presents. I mean, I have got a couple of nice little things, but y'know, nothing really exciting."

Me: "But didn't you go shopping with ds on Saturday?"

dh: "Well, I did, but then I saw The Hobbit was on and I took him to see that. I didn't realise it was going to last 3 hrs and when we got out the shops were closed."

Me: snorts and rolls eyes.

And a big Happy Christmas to all crepeys. Hope it all comes good!

Hey Cremola, how are you doing?

Have just popped my head in to wish you all a very Merry Christmas....

(and extra special wishes for those dealing with special mothers and in-laws......)

Look forward to catching up on the thread soon and what about a post christmas meet up?!

Stropps I genuinely snorted at that!
Dp announced - I just realised you already have one of the things I bought you...

I have a friend who stays here quite regularly. I could ask him to rent it for us?

I have bought more wine. I am cooking curry and have made mince pies. DFIL's friend bought the Christmas pudding. It seems to be rather elderly and has dried out somewhat, so I went to Emma Ness today to get a new one. They were awash with the bloody things two days ago and now have none left. So do we eat the dried up offering or what? I could knock up a quick one in the microwave tomorrow, but to be frank, I feel like I have done enough cooking. Or we could just have Christmas cake and mince pies for pudding.

Oh and the vegetarian who eats chicken (don't ask) has said he will eat lamb curry...

Merry Christmas, Hags!

Merry Christmas MrsS and all crepeys

Happy Christmas one and all

WE are eating lunch chez friends. Was going to go over early and quaff fizz help peel spuds but without going into details, suffice it to say I am best kept apart from food preparation at the moment so have offered child labour instead . It may be time for a small medicinal sloe gin...

We are on M25 in transit from one set of parents to the other. One lot of presents opened, wearing christmas jumper Just realised have left dog food behind...

Merry Christmas everyone and hope you all get some love and peace and appreciation.

DBIL has remembered how to behave around dogs and DDog is good as gold, having been walked off her legs in the pissing rain (her favourite thing!)

Had lovely day with friends yesterday (including excellent coffee) then nine lessons and carols in York Minster, with DD and friend and my friend singing like angels beside me. The organist did some thrilling improvisation, I was on the edge of my seat wondering how he would get back to the home key in Hark the Herald.

Dd having a great time, delighted with her (very modest) presents.

I've had a good night's sleep and got some sense of humour back. Sorry about my rant, enjoy the rest of the holiday everyone. Would love to meet up and compare notes in New Year

This will amuse you, Crepeys. Rang my cousin this morning, had a long chat with her, then passed phone to my mother. She was fine and reasonably cheerful, apart from worrying how to get home from my cousin. She clearly didn't understand how to hang up the phone so I heard her say "Right, that's that out the way..."

Happy Christmas all. I'm feeling stuffed and slightly sozzled and about to embark on large pile of presents under DSis's tree. Happy to report no rows, lost dogfood or tactless parents here. Enjoy the festivities crepeys!

Eeee! DH bought me a tablet for Christmas! Was expecting something much more dull.

The DDs and their cousins are running around in matching Christmas onesies, BIL is just digging out a board game for some family fun. Happy days

Happyg Christmas eferyone [grin ] [hic] [slurp]
