Back from a Christmas break...

Its just after 7.00 Debs at work, I'm about to start sanding, Jess is back in Winchester.

We had a great few days together at Pips near Reading. The division of the Christmas lunch went well; me on starters, Deb on meats, Jess on veg and Pip on puds and cheese.

Mediterraean veg terrine, vodka gazpaccio ad thyme palmier

Ready for battle, not even half of Jess's veg could fit on the table

Of course Christmas is not just about the food its also about the pressies!

We brought our tradition of a mid present eggnog break with plenty of spiced rum!

Tickets to the West End for Pip

Happiness is a Kath Kidson bag, look at that face! (well  done Jess)

Thank you every one for; chocolate orange, coffee, phone cradle, after eights, crocs, socks, cap, hat, peculator, cheque, mug, tolarone (several), shirt, mug, phone case, watch, boot wax, chili shaker, cheque, shirt, nougat, and boot cleaner!!

And now for something completely different...

Well Santa never came at midnight, in fact we stayed up in Pip's sun room well past midnight playing drinking games waiting :-) Could we have frightened him off with the noise? We did however have appearances from Scrooge at regular intervals trying to douse our party fire with his own style of extinguisher (I'll know what I mean when I read this back in years to come)

Of course Deb being only small appeared to cling on to the alcohol effects far longer than us better equipped lot and soon after 5 this morning was wanting me to text jess upstairs and ask if we could get up yet! (And I think its bucks fizz and eggnog for breakfast :-) 

Any way saw this lot on metro online yesterday and they made me laugh. 

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Rover under estimated the competition at the blogging contest

Are you absolutely sure I can turn my head 300 degrees?

Has anyone seen my mum?

Auditions for 'kung fu panda return of the guinea pigs' went better than expected

I'm sure my Andrex contract mentioned full medical insurance in the case of an accident

No you're not coming down 'til you tell me where you buried my shoe!

Deb won the drinking competition :-) 

This looks like the cat that accepted us years ago, it was called cat

We have earl grey, chai, that lap sang one or chinchilla

As happy as a pig in ... A fluffy towel

Don't let it get to you this Christmas... Just chill
