St Stephens Day - Plans?

Don Kiddick · 26-12-2017 09:01AM

I always cook dinner for my father on Stephens day, been doing it for 25 years now... basically he calls to me at 12... I give him a glass (or 3) of whisky we chat as I cook and then he eats his bodyweight in ham.....he's in his 80th year, so I know there won't be many more of these to come .. but I cherish each one and always hope for one more

Work

Nothing. Prep and lay the leftovers so one hell of a lot less work. Can’t go for a walk as I’ve bust my foot. Relaxing for the day.

Waiting on funeral arrangements for a gran aunt before we can plan the next few days. I didn’t know her all that well but want to go for Granny’s sake

Couch and TV with the dog. Food and films.

Go to the gym in the morning then watch football and play FIFA all day.

It's a working day in Spain but I'm on holidays til the eighth so I'm making the most of it as if I was back home. The missus is quite jealous.

Girlfriend and the kids are going to her family's for 24 hours so locked door with football and beer and maybe a bit of Turkey curry.

That would be an ideal day for me.

Have to go to the in laws for dinner. The Mam is a great cook and it will be manic there with all the grandkids going mental and the rest of us trying to watch the football in the sitting room, but its a good day with everyone around. Would still prefer to be at home alone watching all the sport but what can you do.

Plan is out around 6 and pints for the night.
Although I’m more of the mind of crashing out on the couch as it requires the least effort.

Catching a flight later today to New Zealand for a well-earned holiday

You'll be responsible for 3 metric tonnes of CO2 with return flights to NZ. Why do.you hate the environment?

I feel sorry for retail staff.

Some of the shops in Dundrum Town Centre are open at 8am. They are probably preparing the stock from 6am.

Watching films and keeping track of the football scores.

6am opening for Next in Dundrum.

So staff would have to be there from about 4am - maybe leaving home about 3am or 3.30am.

So no chance of a couple of beers or glasses of wine on Christmas night then.

Fairly awful, for €10 an hour.

Planned a really productive day until I seen Back to the future, Raiders of the lost ark and Jurassic World are on RTÉ

Baron Kurtz · 26-12-2017 12:54PM

Didn't think the bookies thing would be so popular on Stephen's Day - the whole heading into the bricks & mortar thing. Thought everyone betted online now. Is it just a Christmas thing to drop into the shop?

YFlyer · 26-12-2017 01:03PM

Heading to town to watch Spurs.

Maggie Marie · 26-12-2017 01:24PM

Is it raining in Dingle anyone know?

It's raining all day in Tralee and there is a localised flooding warning for all of Kerry, so it would be a safe enough bet I'd think

Day Lewin · 26-12-2017 01:30PM

Weather has turned out much nicer than expected, so maybe the Three Rock. (Along with half the population of South County Dublin LOL) but it is a lovely day for a walk :-)

Coffee Fulled Runner · 26-12-2017 01:43PM

Did a 10 mile run this morning, will have second helpings of Turkey and ham soon, enjoying the wren boys and girls calling around now, later I'm going for a bit of trek in the mountains with the family in the afternoon. Going to chill out this evening and watch a film. Early to bed tonight so unfortunately I won't get to go out and meet up with friends because I'm back at work tomorrow

Walk in the fresh air then stop by a bar and watch the second half of the rugby and few scoops

After a day of excess or sitting inside all day yesterday it's quite normal to want to get out especially when it's such a lovely day. I'd it's very odd to want to lounge around today :pac:

andekwarhola · 26-12-2017 01:58PM

No plans except loaf around. Can't really face another drink or big feed. Might bring the kids to The Last Jedi later.

My husband spent the day yesterday trying to convince my mam and dad, brother and his wife to come out for drinks today and so they can do a few bets. None of us were up for it but he was like your man from 12 Angry Men convincing us all one by one so we said alright.

Then he woke up this morning and said to me "I don't really want to go now, do you? Ring your mam there and cancel" :pac: Going to sit in today and relax. Just like Christmas Day without the pressure
