Forest Hillbilly in a hidey-hole 31 Dec 20 8.01am | |
---|---|
My wife got me nothing as "you're a drunken fool who's ruined my life". I've been off alcohol since Dec 11 2020. I got my wife an ornamental metal pig for £30 on ebay. Not only does she like it, but I've seen exactly the same pig on ebay , now for £65-£95. Seems I got a bargain, and the wife can check to see is it was "expensive enough" My best present was a card from an old school friend, reminiscing about the stuff we did in our teens, and suggesting a few beers in 2021. Next was an Indy 500 Baseball cap from 1994. A replacement, because I lost my original when I left it in the boot of a car I sold in 1995.
I disengage, I turn the page. |

If so there was plenty of shopping days that she could have gone online and got you something.

If I can help pm me - not that I'm any expert.

The best I have to say is a palace coat, it’s really comfortable and warm, shame about the palace badge really. I might have to see if I can pick that off if we lose to Sheffield on Saturday The worst was a couple of jars of apricot chutney from my mother in law. I made the mistake of telling her I liked it back in the summer and now I could open my own market stall I’ve got so much

The worst was some not so nice chutney that looks as though it would be better of used as a household drain cleaner than being served as a cracking accompaniment to some decent cheese! Like Monkey all from making a comment at the wrong time! So I get the same every year. To late to tell them now isn't it?
I spread a little of the said chutney around the bird feeder thinking it might fend off the squirrels but it's had the opposite effect they seem attracted, dipping the stolen nuts in it!

In the summer we agreed that Christmas simply looked unlikely. And so it happened, and Mrs H and I spent the holiday at home together. Fortunately, we quite enjoy each others company, and were easy without gifts. Saved a fortune on wrapping paper, but that saving went on washing the bed linen!
