And just in relation to it;

Had been giving me trouble as far back as the Overwatch game. Partly responsible for my meltdown during same.

Ruined part of my first solo trip with my eldest to the UK to see family.
Made me miss work in absolute agony a couple weeks ago.

So it truly is a joyous day

Put up the CHristmas trees yesterday, had the 3 kids decorate their one and they had Christmas music playing on the Alexa. Was quite nice, all them working together and no fighting! should have got some hot chocolate for the occasion looking back

Christmas tree will go up on Sunday in Casa Molly. Then we will see how long it takes the new cat to pull it down.

Baggly · 29-11-2018 08:57AM

Same here! Wifey is away for the weekend so the kids and i will tackle it by ourselves! Wifey will either arrive home to a perfect Christmas wonderland or a hot mess of Christmas!

fixXxer · 29-11-2018 08:59AM

Probably the same in our house. Wife's folks are heading back to Zim today after a surprise visit so we'll need something to lift the mood in the house. Ikea are doing their tree/voucher deal again so we'll head across and get on there.

Baggly · 29-11-2018 09:02AM

Wow thats a good deal!

Triceratops Ballet · 29-11-2018 09:21AM

I'd love to put up my tree this weekend, but there's a heap of cleaning and tidying to be done before we're Christmas ready, it'll be the 8th in my house hopefully. I'm very excited, we got 2 extra sets of lights for the tree this year, so we'll have 6 sets in total, you'll be able to see it from space!!

My lights set has 500 on it, fairly happy with that. The tree is pretty big as well, had it on the older tree when we first moved to Malta (Always had a real tree in Ireland so started from scratch) and the lights were just too much on the tree we got from Lidl. Got one from a Christmas shop last year, much bigger and nicer and the lights fit perfect

Tree can wait. Took the incredibly important step of locking the kids choices in with the Santy Letters, using a combination of Christmas music videos (Oh look kids! Jona Lewie has been shot by the Hun and his wife is alone at the fireplace - IT'S CHRISSSSSSTMAAAAAAAAS!) , Mince-Pie Cookies from Sainsbury's and Neurolinguistic Programming to ensure they made the "correct" choices. Pressure's off now, so let the Nog flow! Advent Calendar comes down on Friday night, Tree maybe the weekend after.

Dunno if they still do 'em but the Orchard in Celbridge did fantastic fake trees about 10 years ago - pricey, but they look great and they last at least a decade, maybe more if it doesn't fall apart when I open it in a week and a half!

Mollyb60 · 29-11-2018 11:54AM

Has anyone ever had eggnog? It sounds vile.

Banjo · 29-11-2018 11:57AM

It's like regular Nog but with more protein - what's not to like?

(that's a no, BTW

)

Baggly · 29-11-2018 11:57AM

How old are yours Banjo?

Never had nog....doesnt sound great.....

We've had the same fake tree for the past 4 years. Picked it up in a closing down sale in April for 20 quid (RRP had been 80 iirc).

Love it, so easy to assemble and take down.

My nog?
I make it fresh! We have wild nogs in the garden, every winter morning I grab one from under the thorny brambles and squeeze it straight into a pre-heated mug.

My kids?
I can answer but first I need the 2nd and 4th digits from your PIN. Thanks, can you just confirm those numbers? That's right, the 1st and 3rd digits from your PIN....

3 weeks and 5 days to Xmas

I know people complain about Xmas starting in October nowadays but i think it really crept up this year!

patrickSTARR · 29-11-2018 01:04PM

Lost my car key in the last few days. No luck finding it.

How much does a locksmith usually set one back for a car?

My car is fairly old and not alarmed, so Im looking for a regular key rather than a fancy programmed one.

Baggly · 29-11-2018 01:09PM

Unprogrammed key might get you into the car but ignition may still need to be programmed.

Ive honestly no clue. Key usually just goes in and turns, BINGO car is on. Does that need to be programmed.

Looking online, seems promgarmming can increase the price a fair whack. How do I know if it needs to be programmed ?

Baggly · 29-11-2018 01:12PM

I'll pm you and try to sort some details for you.

Necro · 29-11-2018 01:14PM

You know who likely would know if they were still knocking about is crosstownk. IIRC he works in the motor industry.

Baggly · 29-11-2018 01:43PM

Hope you get sorted P*

Too late now, but if you wrap the head of your key in tinfoil, and try to start the car, and nothing happens, thats a key that needs programmed.

Most cars can program the keys for you, but you need one good key first.

So, with two keys, keep one safe, if you lose a key, get another made and use spare to programme it, then keep spare in safe place again. So if you have only one key people, get a spare made asap.
