'Sup?

Late Xmas with my niece and nephew today. Will likely find they've got everything from other people already.
 
Christmas decorations down, flat back and feeling empty, life slowly returning to normal...

I was expecting you to post that on Boxing Day.

I am later than usual this year- normally 27th or 28th, but was out on the former and having a day of sod all yesterday, so today has been the first opportunity. I confess that for once it feels a little early, but I need to get my mind back into the right frame- I keep waking up at 8:30-9:00, not being bothered going to the gym, still eating anything and everything, including shit loads of LOVELY LOVELY MEAT. Time to sort myself out I think.

Well, ish. I’ll keep eating until I go back to work, as per.
 
I feel slightly panicky that I should be back in work tomorrow. I don't want to log in to check though, as I know I'll not be able to resist looking at my emails. And probably learn of a death or something.
 
Is it possible to listen to commercial radio and go more than 15 minutes without hearing Ed Sheeran or Lewis Capaldi?

I sat through about 30 minutes of Ed Sheeran on 4Music this morning. That's how zonked out I feel at the moment.

There's one more Ed Sheeran related confession but I feel Moopy is not ready for it: I actually liked one of the songs. :zombie:

I don’t check my emails at all nowadays. I used to and get sucked into all sorts. Easier just to deal with 1000 emails when I get back.

I genuinely can’t remember the last time I listened to commercial radio to know, other than than when it’s on at the gym, but usually I’ve got my headphones in over the top of it...
 
Still a week to go for me and THANK FUCK FOR THAT
 
I ran to the 'UK hit list 2019' Spotify playlist yesterday and it was really, really grim. The whole thing sounded like it was all by the same artist.

(Which is not that inaccurate given that Ed Sheeran is featured on BLOODY EVERYTHING)
 
I can forgive shit pop stars if I can at least envisage having a wank over them, but this current batch just look like raw sausage meat which has been rolled over a dirty carpet. What's the point?
 
Do people still wank over pop stars?

I mean, in a world of internet porn, what’s the POINT?
 
Oh I am far too old for that sort of thing but I can understand Lolly's point: if they're at least wanking MATERIAL then one would be more forgiving of the dirge they release. There's just NO EXCUSE for Ed Sheeran to look & dress the way he does.

1000 emails over the Christmas break? Surely not with everyone off?
 
Fun day for me with my brother's two children. Niece is getting a little overbearing and has taken to raising her voice to a screech if she feels her wee brother is getting more attention. Nephew took the huff because he thought he had fewer presents than his sister but I'd just wrapped them in fewer parcels because :greta:. Difficult to explain that to a three year old tho'.
 
I’ve gone all brown paper and cotton ribbon for the past two years. They look lovely and they are all recyclable.

I feel you, there was MANY a timeout given over Xmas and Boxing Day. :D My three year old is in the "No" stage and always goes to bat for her 1 year old brother which I can't help but love. If you come for him, you come for her.
 
We've been getting on each other's tits so much atm having been pretty in each other's company for 5 or 6 days straight. I very much appreciated a long walk earlier on my lonesome. I was out for a very eerie dusk which was nice. He's ill so I'm a bit concerned about our NYE trip.
 
I am DONE with all the Xmas food shit. I wasn't THAT innit Xmas this year so I'm kinda willing it to be over. Although I always am at this stage. Must lose significant weight in the new year.
 
I tend to not even mention it online anymore. Its BORING. Unless I lose four stone or summat.
 
I’m two stone lighter than I was this time last year and still loving the gym. Just taking a lot longer to come off at my age!
 
And yeah, we’re getting on each other’s tits too. For various reasons, not all of them Christmas related. I am certainly going to spend some time alone in the next few days.
 
I hope my mother forgets she bought me a churros maker (WHY ON EARTH?) and/or doesn't visit the Cats Protection charity shop before it's sold.
 
We've not had a row yet. But I went out on my own on Friday and we've gone separate ways today - he's out for dinner with an ex who I don't like, so I'm not going. Still, we're still at home together until Thursday, so plenty of time yet.
