I'm working through until next Friday and then off until the 3rd. Looking forward to a nice break.

I know I'm a lucky chappy, except the missus informed me last night that "I've got a few jobs for you to do next week" before xmas...I may well go to work for a rest yet!!!!

Good girl! I'm thinking up a list of things for Dave to do at the moment

Dream on Department: It's the weekend, you've had a rough week at work, your ever loving walks into the room with that look of determination on her face and says, 'I know it's Saturday and your weekend off but I need to ask you to do a few things while I'm out. This afternoon I want you to lie on the sofa working your way through all those cans of beer in the fridge, at the same time could you watch the TV for any interesting sports programmes - especially women's beach volleyball - later on I want you to doze off for an hour or so and, if it's not too much trouble, I'd really appreciate it if you could wake up in time to eat the four course dinner I'll be making. Sorry about this but you're the only one who can do all this for me'. (Come on Mandrake, stop sniffing the Tipp-Ex for crying out loud…..)

That sounds just like my house on a Saturday afternoon. I'm in the kitchen sorting out dinner and Dave's sat in the front room in front of the Rugby.

I've always enjoyed that everley brothers track too...dreaaaammm etc.

Nah actually I'm usually the one doing the cooking (it's easier than sorting the kids out for bed!) I get to do the fun bath time bit then it's off to sorting the dinner out and still find time to tidy up something along the way in true "modern man" fashion.

lmw, you can come and live with me if you want

I say... there's an offer you don't get every Christmas...

All four of us...you don't mind? That's great! Real Xmas minded of you! you're sure Dave will not mind?

As long as he's got the rugby or cycling on TV, I doubt he'd even notice.

Just think. One day they may invent rugby on bikes. A new game for a new generation.

I daresay the scrums could be a bit messy, but they could use girly bikes with baskets on the front to easy the ball carrying.

We used to play topper rugby (a topper is a small sailing dinghy) where one person would sail the boat and another would sit at the front and get the ball.

Was total chaos with everyone capsizing the other teams boats but great fun.

ill have you know i have one of those bikes... nah lol that would be fun...

Can I say now - please everyone get out of the spirit?

There seems to be a lot of Christmas avatars still aroud and unlike dogs, a christmas avatar isn't for life it is actually just for Christmas

talking of dogs. woof.

Mine got taken off on the 12th night (avatar that is) anyone else who's still got theirs, there's alot of bad luck comming your way.

12th night oops forgot about that I think it was a few days after...anyhow the Christmas spirit got diluted when Mr Credit C. William arrived.

Why oh why we never learn I'll never know it's not as if Christmas is an unexpected expense!!!!! It does seem to come round regular!

Maybe this year!
