Herself announced last night that
On the bright side I’ll be finished work in an hour or so until next year.
Sorry for your loss @backinatracksuit
Sorry to hear that mate, but you have your health and this too shall pass.
Next Christmas will be a belter
Would you not go to visit the in-laws with herself?
I’ll plead the fifth on the whole sorry scenario.
In fairness her mother’s parents both died this month, though they were 97 and 99 and had been in a home for three years and were desperately unhappy.
They were supposed to come to us tomorrow for the day and stay the night, but family politics intervened.
Anyhow, onwards and upwards.
Fair enough.
Tough for her nonetheless even though it’s surely a release for them both.
It is tough. You’d feel fairly adrift I’d imagine.
Joe Simpson said simply that “losing ones parents is a rite of passage”.
It is. And while you want them at peace, shortly after the loss hits. And that’s difficult to offset.
I’ll have to start eating the Christmas food tonight to make room in the fridge for my beer
Fuck I just remembered the Turkey still has to go in there 
Layve the beer outside it’ll be well chilled
I’ll put the Turkey in the shed
Tell me what beer you have
You haven’t bought a fridge for beer yet? Surely you have it beside the stand up freezer in the oversized utility room, just opposite the back sink?
330ml cans of Morretti will be my poison. I’ve a load of home brew as well but that’s for sparing consumption. I’ll get a shot of mcgargles then as well. The fine wines by the hospital has a good offer on 500ml cans of San Miguel 6 for 10 or less I can’t remember but I remember it was a good price
On the tumble dryer. They were selling them in super valu for 90 yoyos during the summer
Merry Christmas Mike, put the feet up and enjoy it.
One day left pal with the blaas tomorrow
I’ve sacrificed chest freezers and island living for inner city convenience
Christmas starts today for me, I don’t think the beer will be much of an issue by the end of the evening
