The sacrifices we make to keep him happy

I have to say that, even though we always self cater, I never use a holiday kitchen for much more than assembling deli stuff for lunches. I travel with a large list of restaurants to try



Oh please don't ration yourself, it's quite possible I'll still be on series 1 this time next year. Will stick my fingers in my ears if you're discussing stuff!

TK once you put that disc in the player you will be HOOKED and will watch the lot!!

i love to see addiction in its raw state
if you fancy a gallop round the thread on horsey cat just feel free (he comes to you if you bang your sword on your shield)

*bangs sword on shield* Horsey cat! To me!

*gallops round thread uttering bloodcurdling shrieks*

it's fun innit?!

once we've got tk on board i think we can plan an invasion

Will there be a trail of dead all over Chatter?

if we're successful

There can be no doubt of our victory. We're VIKINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I read about the Viking horde that had been uncovered by a detectorist close to the M40 I immediately thought that would be Planets looking for Rollo.

I think she'd be hunting for Ragnar first. I would!

*brushes mud from self* as if i'd do anything like that


*sings* you know me so weeeeeeeell

How are you doing now, planets? Got your place back in shipshape and Bristol fashion? Are you well?

I'm saving Vikings for the weekend although I may crack tonight. Had lots to do and also been gardening although I may have THOUGHT about the vikings while doing those things!!!

not so bad thanks, having dental issues
haven't done any further unpacking just shoved boxes in rooms i don't go in...
people keep bringing up christmas so am lying in bed surrounded by cards and lists trying to write them all.....i have glitter all over my duvet

I will say vikings don't diminish on the second and third watchings
ragnar misses you.....he wants you to watch him....Floki told him the gods demand you watch him to ensure his success...

Stop that immediately! I can feel my resolve melting away like frosting on a rainy day

I've written ALL the cards, wrapped ALL the presents and parked all but two bags of them on their recipients!! *proud of self* Usually at this stage I am running about like a headless chicken searching for gifts and frantically writing cards.

Maybe I will watch episode one when I gots all me work done................

you are soooooooooo good i've done nothing
my whole focus was on getting home...then it was on recovering after getting home.
i was excited i'd bought cards yesterday.
i have bought precisely one present so far.
i'm guessing amazon is going to get some heavy clicking tonight
can't decide whether to do a tree or not
can i hire you to sort out my christmas please?

i'd like to sleep until june

*ragnar gives you sexy knowing look*

How well I now know that look

I'd willingly come and sort out your festive stuffs. You'd get a Yule tree cos I don't do Christmas, but it's the same!

You are right that getting home, and recovering therefrom, are far more important than whether folks get cards and presents. YOU are their present, cos you are no longer in hospital! Actually just make a hat out of festive paper and say TA DAH whenever your friends arrive

over two thirds the way through writing the cards....i think it's time to have a tea break i have Thornton's Chocolate Fudge Brownies - you've been such a help organising my Yule, can i offer you some brownies?

Cor, yes please! I will fetch out my festive cake, half of which is already scoffed, cos waiting is not something that comes naturally to me We can have tea and cakes.

Now where are the others?????

excellent i'll pop the kettle on....are they all still lounging round the pool?

I think they must be on an excursion! Probably sightseeing or haggling in the market over scarves and ornaments

*eats thornton's chocolate fudge brownie* bloody sarong collectors never around when there's work to be done

*puts up festive cheer in planets' house*

Seeing as you love the Vikings, and they celebrated Yule like me, [Jol] you might also enjoy THIS

I've finished the cards and been to the post office just got the nurses' and doctors' ones to hand deliver!!!
my house looks LOVELY thanks so much Twass, for a truly viking yule i think we need to take Chins to Uppsala and then decorate the gate with what's left.....

*bangs sword on shield*
just going for a gallop round the decorations......*blood curdling roar*

Yes, chins would REALLY appreciate going to Uppsala!!
