My mother's already drunk and denying it.
Lol I love that Christmas staple, a drunk family member, drunkenly protesting that they are not drunk!

We had a big argument on Christmas Eve night, the first time we've had an argument since around February.

I am a carer for my Mum, so Christmas is the time of year I actually get a bit of me time alone. I look after her dogs so that she can go to my sister's for lunch. I really enjoy actually spending Christmas on my own. My real holiday will be when I have returned the dogs to my Mother and I get a few day alone without the dogs. Really looking forward to it.
Did you not fancy going to your sister's to be spoilt (I take it she and her family do the majority of the cooking etc) a wee bit or whas it through choice you not going? (even though you said you prefer Christmas on your own)

i`m happy to be home now.

i could not bear to watch the hypochondriac on the sofa cure their "tummy bug" with the entire tin of roses and a couple of pints of full on coke for another minute.

my suggestion that he should ring 111 about his "chest pains" wasn`t taken up as he decided to "struggle on", flat on his back on the sofa where he`d been all day.

luckily he didn`t have to stretch for the remote.

i left before i was tempted to deliver my diagnosis.

I was dog-sitting. And no. I prefer to be on my own. I never relax properly in somebody else's house. I like being in my own home.

I'm sure everybody had a good time though.

It was only after re-reading my post I realised I might have come across as a nosy old sod, sorry not my intention.

I too like my own home at Christmas, as well-meaning as people are, I prefer to kick my slippers off in my own lounge Hope your Christmas Day was enjoyable.

No you weren't being nosy but if I didn't look after the dogs it would mean Mum wouldn't be able to go. So it's win-win
