He's a good lad, but he's just come in absolutely wrecked. He couldn't even shut his room door without me giving him a helping hand.

I'm amazed he didn't fall down the stairs taking the Christmas lights with him.

We've got the last of the festive season social thingies to go to tonight... but have no energy. And we keep changing our minds about cancelling... It's quite a big party so our absence wouldn't be too noticeable, but we haven't seen the hosts in ages so it would be good to catch up...

If only all problems were this enormous, right.

We're all crumbling

All I can say is do it BG. I sometimes feel similarly about Palace away games, and always regret not going. Have a lovely time.

We did, thank you. Said we'd only go for an hour or so and ended up crawling home way past midnight. Typical.

What happened to the original copy?

Seriously handy. Is it worth buying, or is the original DM release better?

Bleuarrrggghhh!! Mehhh! Pffffft!! Hurrumph!!

That was my day. Fortunately, I'm home now and the only way is up... hopefully

Handy ... feeding Melony sprouts is akin to cruelty - they are the work of the devil. Having grown to like broccoli which was also formerly known as "devils work" I tried sprouts again thinking that clearly my taste buds have changed - not that much they haven't - yuk! Never again. Not ever. No. NO.

THE END.

Eat a sprout. They are good for you, as they contain anti-carcinogens, so I've been told.

Monday @work over.

jra, if you have not seen Despicable Me you are missing a treat. KJeeves has acquired some minions for Grmp Towers and The Shed.

It looks like an animation film and I'm not really into those.

Besides, I'll wait until the price comes down before I decide to buy it.

And then, I'm not sure whether to buy the R1 or R2 UK version.

My little smiley face went out on my Sky hub. No dial tone from the land line either. Dead as a dodo. It seems to be fixed now, and presumably was a serious problem, as I didn't report it. I wonder what caused that, as it isn't windy around here at the moment.

I tuned in briefly to catch LJ in action. She's really as miserable as her column. At least we can say she's keeping it real. Can't watch much of the show though 'cause that asshole Dappy makes it unwatchable. Anymore of him and his foot long sausage and my tv might get broken.

I really hope she stays in, but if she stays then so does Dappy Sorry me@ - I totally get where you're coming from but
I'd much rather see that tart from the Apprentice locked in a room with Evander for a few days

And belated batty birthday greetings - I'm on a self-imposed pc ban while I get my tax return sorted. Honest

Oh ****, I've got to do that again. Maybe I'll tell them this time around I'm on my period. I think I've run out of other excuses for not filing the legalised theft form on time.
