Gransnet Grotto

No someone today said that was what they suffered from!

Can you get a sick note for it?
It seems to have been very quiet in here and I for one could do with somewhere to hunker down and not hear sniping about this and about that and people getting stressed.
Oh and while I am at it, some mulled would go down a treat.

I can't be doing with getting stressed. Will join you for a spot of mulled wine gracesmum

I just Wiki'd morbid jealousy and apparently it's a psychiatric disorder, so you probably can get a sick note for it!

- would you credit it!

Back from Brussels and in need of some Christmas Spirit.... discovered a liking for Irish Coffee, just the thing to warm up body and soul after tramping the mean cobbles.
So lets have some now, I've got all the ingredients including the squirty cream.... here we go oh ho ho.....
Loved the poem gracesmum xx

I have got seasonal Christmas disorder. I am hiding out from writing Christmas cards. I brought some wine to share I think I'll linger here for a while.Why do 2 days take 2 months to sort?

Let me in quick! Need a bit of relaxation.Just eaten 3 pieces of toast and marmite with a glass of vodka-yum

Gracesmum - great poem. I'll have George when you've done with him but not today, I'm too tired.

I'm in here early because DH has a cold. I have too but his is worse and it causes him to throw himself round the bed snorting and puffing. So, if no one minds, I'l; just snuggle up in that corner with a duvet and some hot chocolate with a big dollop of cream - bliss

Morning kitty just popped in for a little peace before it all starts again today, at least I am up at a more civilised hour this morning its.been 4,30 and 5 am the two mornings previous Dh has been all over the Country so early starts and late finishes. feel a bit out of sorts but the peace and strong cup of tea will soon sort that out.

Oh it's nice to come here and take a few deep breaths before the day kicks in. I hope your out of sorts gets sorted glass
I bought the Christmas Radio Times yesterday,which is always the sign that it wont be long! I mentioned this to the checkout lady at Waitrose, she said in their family the first viewing of the Christmas Coca Cola advert is the signal that it wont be long!
Better get the sprouts on!!!!

notso when we were still at home the three of us would
fight over who read Christmas viewers first

Looks like I'm on my ownsome here. It's wet, dark and miserable and I am just back from the dentist/hygienist. Better not tuck into anything that's left over, in order to keep my gnashers pristine so will just help myself to a small, liquid, alcoholic refreshment sooked through a straw while I wait for someone to join me

I'm here Gally, do you mind that I'm wearing my jimjams and dressing gown? I feel pretty poorly so might just have a small one with you and then toddle off to bed.

have started with you because it Friday and wet,have off school sickness and neediness,am sitting under table hiding..

Hi everyone been away from the grotto for a few days as I have been too busy but I'm back with cake, chocolate and more brandy as you seem to have drunk it all.

Now who needs cheering up and what can I do for you? Paracetamol? Hug? more booze? I'm feeling fantastic and want you all to be so too.

I have just been fast asleep in the chair! The best thing to do on a cold dark day like today. I just want to be warm and cozy, stoke up the fire and put the kettle on. I am here for the night I can't be bothered to go out. Just wake me up when Christmas is over and the sun comes back.

Movedalot - drugs, booze, hugs, what more could we ask for? Oh yes - got any food?

I really, really fancy some chips. Anyone else? Where's the nearest chippie? I'll just finish this nice Sauvignon Blanc and think about it..

Lovely cheery post Movedalot! I'm feeling fine and dandy too Other friends and family all going down with a range of 'this time of year' bugs, but I tend to somehow duck and avoid them. (Unless it's nits. Don't even go there )

Sorry for anyone feeling run down....it always seems worse at this time of year when there's so much to do. We'll all budge up to make room for any other poorly peeps. Chest rub with Vicks anyone?

Chips?

Chips....

Sorry Ariadne no chips but I could bring a really boozy cake?

Oh, all right then! You are a great provider, Moved. Thank you - have a or two. Oooh, it's nice here...

Re Christmas Radio Times - is that the one with The Snowman on the front?
Looking after little boys last Monday, 2 1/2 year-old wanted me to read a "magazine, Granny" to him. Yes, it was the Radio Times!
It took quite a lot of imagination and invention on Granny's part.

Reinforcements have arrived.............I went out to our garage before supper to see what we had in the wine rack and found an unopened litre bottle of BAILEYS! !!I can only think I bought it for Christmas last year and somehow missed it. I can assure you there is no "best before "for Baileys, it tastes just as good Calloo callay!!
