624308 2007-12-25 09:00:00 Well, I just got back from some average Chinese over in Botany Downs. Got back home, and had leftover pork chop/hash brown slab.

Washed down with 1 of 20 chocolate marshmallow Santa that I got for free from Foodtown and a glass of Sprite.

624309 2007-12-25 09:08:00 Ah, What a day.

I've upset me dear old mum.

My boy upset the wifes mum.

The wifes upset because I've been grumpy.

Its 10Pm and I'm still eating.

Sounds like a regular Christmas to me.


ROLL ON NEXT CHRISTMAS.

And a pair of industrial ear muffs.

624312 2007-12-25 19:23:00 I skipped dinner, and had a small breakfast, so I could have some choccies. :p pcuser42 (130)
624313 2007-12-25 19:51:00 As we are miles away from relatives, we got up, wandered out into the lovely sunshine, snacked on a couple of chocolates for breakfast, rang the relatives and was doing nothing in particular in peace when a friend arrived and invited us to their farm for lunch.

So we wandered up and and had a leisurely feast, some enjoyable conversation, got to look at their presents - a 42" plasma and a eye toy thing for the boys PS3, then we cruised home, visited another friend for a short time, collapsed in front of the TV prepared to nod off while pretending to watch something and then another friend called in for a sneaky cigarette with us, then we went to bed.

It was GREAT!!!

Today we will have a BBQ.

624315 2007-12-25 20:26:00 There were a few other things - like a collapsible toaster, a box of chocs, a book my husband wanted to read, a book that I wanted to read (I bought it, he wrapped it) and a cheque from Mum (who no longer goes near any shops).

The mail on Christmas Eve brought a box from my UK based daughter. Contents - presents for the family. Her one to us was a hardbound photo book of her travels to date. Very, very professional and really good.

No doubt she'll borrow it back when she returns for CV purposes - she has worked as a photographer and won a couple of Kodak awards.

We spoke to her yesterday. She is currently nursing a sore shoulder in Paris after falling down an icy bank whilst trying for a perfect photo. (The camera survived.)

Oh yeah, and a fireman's calendar from the other daughter :thumbs:

And I got my self a iPod Touch 8gb- Amazing it is, and today I went and got me a Rubiks Revolution, my Nephew got one - I had to get one.

We had a awesome lunch as usual with all the extended family, then somebody suggested a game of Poker- Texas holde'm so we cracked open the chips and cards, spent the arvo drinking and playing poker - Love it.

Had a Christmas tea as well and I had to work today, which sucked, Man were we busy- with 20% off everything in store customers were rolling in.

Anyway’s, it has been another good christmas all and all, Looking forward to the quietness to follow.
