Being on my own.

Being on my own.

Nah you're coming to ours mate

Nah you're coming to ours mate

The first Christmas in decades I get to be on my own, I'm gonna relish it. Being a good cook is what gets the invites or I give in to pressure and do it at my place.

No more. I'm gonna buy myself a really cool pressie, some toy to play with, get smashed on booze I like and generally just indulge.

And as fror New Year, I left the band last year so I get to party and not have to gig

Thanks for the invite (if that's what it was )

It's just another day to me.
The missus will be out working, I will cook myself eggs bacon toast and curried beans, and put a huge pot of coffee on.
thats my perfect day, and its my perfect Christmas day.

You forgot the pot noodle

I hate Christmas. If I get through it in a drunken haze I would do, but I am afraid that social services might take the kids.

On second thoughts, pass me that Whisky.

Is that your saucepan in that avatar? (SY02 asks)

PS Americans do not understand Whisky.

Some great ones include:

Every year I lived from ages about 4 - 12. After that I got "too cool to care" but did really wish I was still a baby.

With Mrs PRC alone in Cornwall, alone in the Galapagos, alone in central Spain.

The last seven years when I've had at least one child and sometimes four aged between 4 - 12.
