    Christmas Countdown thread

    10 weeks today and we'll be on the Boxing Day Bank Holiday and it will almost be over.

    I'm going to get organised this year. Any ideas on what this year's 'must have' toys are going to be? Time to order in a load to be eBayed the week before xmas at a healthy mark-up. I always say I'm going to do this but never get round to it.

      I shall be with the Missus on a cruise ship with no phone, no family, no washing up, no cooking, no cleaning, no dealing with the rubbish. No bills, no paperwork, no ClientCo, no boss.

      Just food, booze, food, entertainment, booze, food, more food, sleep, food and sightseeing. And food. And more booze. And some more food. With food on. Washed down with booze. And food. Then more sleep.

              So what? Two days of puking and squitting free food, then back to making up the weight loss with more free food.

              Or, spend Xmas with the in-laws and get food poisoning AND ear-ache.

                  If you stay awake during the working day, it will only be half as many sleeps.
