BigMouth Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Xmas starts earlier every year - soon it will start in December. I wish that I had a pound for every time I had said that I too hate being asked what I want for Xmas. I always ask for useful stuff, a new toothbrush, pound of lard, an egg whisk, a dental appointment. They never listen to me. It's always the bloody same, a stack of MacBooks and expensive amps.

fratelli Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Back to the Crimbo topic. I want only one thing... Daniel 'Bond' Craig to emerge from the North Sea in front of my hoose on Crimbo morning in those blue swimshorts. He could accesorise with a bit of tinsel for added festivity. 100% British, shaken not stirred. Drool slaver etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Njugle Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 I fear that if Daniel Bond Craig emerged from the North Sea on Christmas morning wearing only those blue swimshorts, it would be shortly before they placed him in a body-bag prior to defrosting his sorry blue ass. Would suggest warmer location for Xmas fantasy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooh hun is that good or bad having your birthday around christmas... must have been great for your parents tho! what a present! lol... but thats good tho that you get to spend christmas with Mr TA.... :tmbup; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarotangel Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Bit of both really at least you are always guaranteed having a holiday and the family were always around. Mam had always said that she felt sorry for the poor bairns that were born about Christmas and when did her first one show up? The best bit was that Mam went into labour after Christmas denner and the nurses told her it was just indigestion.... As for Mr TA they've not handed out the rota at the station yet so will have to wait and see so fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lec Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 I asked my mam (with not much enthusiasm) what she wanted for Xmas this year. She said she neither wanted nor needed anything, but she would set me a challenge to find her something for a fiver, because the whole Xmas thing has got out of hand. We eventually came to the decision that we're each making a donation to a charity for the other as well as the fiver challenge. And it's the most Xmassy I've felt in years.

JustMe Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 Spending a fiver each?.......that is not a bad idea. Sadly Shetland lacks some of the bargain book stores they have down south but I am sure that between Amazon and e-bay I could find books for everyone on my Xmas list for that sort of price......not just books but books they would enjoy.

BigMouth Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 I did something similar with my gf last year. We had a £25 limit. She really struggled, but came up with some good stuff. I totally ignored the limit and bought her what I wanted I am not sure if she has forgiven me yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
