Saturday starts the thread early before the networks get busy

Well I think I’ve finished all my affairs for the year, just waiting for my friend to come over.

We’ll have pizza and booze, go to a shrine at midnight, and then non-sexually share my bed (PS this isn’t dick of death guy)
 
Happy New Years Eve Moopy!

I'm off out for breakfast, then going to the shop to close it down for a month :(

I'm currently in bed making collages of photos of my 2022!
 
Morning loves

I feel a lot better today, but still going to abandon NYE plans. Miserable, sure, but I’m going to feel mega smug about it tomorrow morning.
 
I am sat in Costa waiting for my car to get its MOT and my eyes are stinging I’m that tired

This is what happens when you stay up playing Lego Superheroes til the early hours when you have an appointment at 9am on a Saturday.

LIFE GOALS!
 
I've never really liked Hogmanay - people go a bit too wild. Still, it marks the end of Amateur Drinking Month which is good news for nurses doing a shift at A&E.
 
Went to mum's last night and the silliest thing happened and my mum was so mortified about it I couldn't do the one-liner (possibly slightly racist but my sister in law's chinese and she laughed when I whispered it to her so I think it's OK) joke that was made for the situation because I didn't want to hurt her feelings.

We always get a chinese takeaway when my sister and her family are up visiting mum. Last night we collated the order then mum rang it through, on returning to the living room she said "they said we have to pay cash, it's £110 and it'll be ready in twenty minutes". Normally we pay by card so there was a bit of discussion that the owner must be going to the casino for NYE. My brother and his wife then set off with the cash to collect the food. Fifteen minutes later my brother rings mum's landline, the shop has no record of the order and are unable to make the food at all because the restaurant is very busy. Mum's shrieking down the phone "well you all heard me ring it through! I'm not going mad! etc." at which point she told my brother to just come home and she'd make some sandwiches. I went to put the phone back in the holder and looked back through her call history, she'd rang a completely different Chinese! Went back in the living room and said "mum, you rang Rainbow House instead of Tung Fong!", mum said "no I definitely rang Tung Fong", I replied "no, it's a 702 number and Tung Fong's a 794 number and Rainbow House only take cash" then there was a dawning realisation, both hands went up to the side of her face and she burst into tears in the hall. I'm hugging her and saying it's OK, come on we'll just jump in the car and go get it, I've got enough money in my purse, it's all alright, just a daft mistake". She was really quiet in the car then on the way back home she said quietly "It's something your dad would have done isn't it?". I realised then just how terrified she is that she's going to go down the Alzheimers route and I felt so bad for her. I just said "Nowhere near something dad would have done, you just rang the chinese you ring the thirty times a year when we're not having Posh Chinese, stop being daft, it was just a mistake" when what I really wanted to say was ...

... can't believe you Wang the Wong number! :D

(she was fine afterwards and I warned everybody else in secret how upset she was and not to wind her up about it so I think we're all good again)
 
Happy New Years’ eve Moopy! What a year it’s been; do we think 2023 will be even worse? :)

If someone could engineer a global flight grounding disaster I’d appreciate it. Tia x
 
@Star, has your Christmas card arrived yet?

We've now had 9 since Christmas. Although still not yours.

Nope! I really think the post is messed around here. I've not had the kids letter from Santa either (which I paid for :argh:)

I didn't eat dinner last night really and I ended up getting more drunk than I meant to
 
Sausage sandwich for breakfast lunch, cooked in the air fryer. Very efficient.

If I'd managed to get the air fryer I wanted every day would be fish finger butties, bacon butties or sausage butties for me. Probably good that I didn't get one or my bum would be the size of a house.
 
Watching the new year musical blowout show Kouhaku, there’s a non-binary queen singing a Dragonball theme while riding a Phoenix.

I love this show, they just throw all the kitchen sinks
 
we were playing "cards against humanity" last year and my mom pulled me aside to ask what "pop your pussy" means
