We tend to go to my other half's mum for Xmas day ... the motherr-in-law is one of 6 sisters - all of them abide to an old family ritual of toasting 'absent friends' as the clock strikes 12 mid-day on Xmas day - in reality the 'absent' are the dead - still it's a nice gesture and also a good excuse for a wee dram ... <laugh>

The toast where I used to spend New Year's eve was - Us, Absent Friends, **** the Others.

Got to get some beers on the way home tonight and then there's all the fresh meat and veg tomorrow and after that not doing anything. Only time out is to go watch Rogue One on the 27th. Outlaws then turn up for New Year.

I will toast to my mum who sadly fell ill last Xmas day and then passed on the 27th.

It's daft is what it is.
I spend a damned fortune on these gifts, and now I am going to give the credit to some imaginary ****ing fat dude?
Noooope.
My Daughter knows exactly where her **** comes from.

Completely thankless task being Dad at Christmas.
Apparently, I don't do anything.



Apart from pay for the whole ****ing shebang of course.

Just been to Aldi and bought wine. Still need to buy the beer.

Anyone know of any decent offers anywhere?

I want bottled premium lager. Don't like beer in a can. Ideally I want kronenbourg or heineken or moretti?
 
Most have Kronenburg, Stella and Becks on offer.

You'll not find Moretti on offer.

I've ended up with Stella and Becks, I'm not that struck on Becks.

Don't like either to be honest. Becks has to be the worst German beer you can buy.

Got to go late night shopping again tonight forgot to buy my auntie and uncle something so afterward will pop in our German pub and drink the German dunkel beer.
