I'm a little delicate too actually after some nerdy fun turned into nerdy drunken fun.

I haven't really been out in a long time, so I think I might want to soon. I know it's not even halloween yet, but in the run up to Christmas I always love hot whiskey

Kanoe · 22-10-2010 11:04am

I discovered if you drink a Captn morgan at some stage during the night you're less likely to suffer hangover. I forgot this vital piece of information last night.

Such hospitality! Thanks zxy!

Its not even the men! Its the average sized women! 5 feet tall is a dumb height. You are always stuck looking at the middle of peoples back and there is hair everywhere with these long haired girls and when people jump their elbows hit my head. IT IS RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!

L.Jenkins · 23-10-2010 1:29am

I know it's awful being short, I'm the shortest in my family at 5' 8''. I actually prefer the shorter woman, more appealing and easier to hide under the duvet just incase

electrobi · 23-10-2010 11:05am

I'm 5'6 but that's TALL amongst mah girls who are all 5'4 or below.

I've pretty much made an executive decision to try and just scoff the rest of my chocolate tomorrow and be done with it, so I can get back to normal healthy eating when I go back to work on Tuesday. Of course, it helps that by lunchtime tomorrow I'll have run over 50 miles in the week leading up to that

stephen_n · 02-01-2011 11:44pm

The only present I didn't bring back and exchange was a massage voucher, I'm getting the impression I'm quite fussy lol

Links234 · 02-01-2011 11:45pm

Dunno if I could do that, if I scoff it all at once, there'll be none left for later. and big sugar crash then, I'd feel awful

slowly weign myself off all the christmassy junk is my plan

For the giggles;

Christmas present list 2010, from:

Mom: A really nice scarf, winter hat and fingerless woolly gloves

Dad: Japanese beer, and money (he knew I'd be broke after Christmas

)

Brother: A bear themed onesie. Yes, yes he did. Publicly embarrassing but privately I love it :P

Work: A hairdressing set, 2 hairbands, and a set of hair clips with pretty colored bows on them. And a comb which I now carry EVERYWHERE. Am I really that obvious?!

L.Jenkins · 03-01-2011 2:40am

I had an ironic xmas week. Tore ligaments in my foot then got runners as a gift. It's as if the universe was laughing at me :P Apart from that I got some nice tight fitting tops to keep me warm

deirdre_dub · 03-01-2011 11:42am

Yes it was a good Christmas.

Presents? I got one - a book voucher for Easons. But that's not what Christmas is about (anymore) in our family.

It's about trying to spend time with each other. I'm estranged from my mother (as is my Dad), so him and I spent a week together. It was great! And, at one stage, my two brothers dropped in, and we went for a movie.

I'm in the process of moving apartment - my Dad helped out, and my brother took away some of my stuff to store in his house.

During the week, myself and Dad went for a walk to the shops. I was walking on the footpath with my Dad to my left and the road to my right. Then Dad reminded me that "the male usually walks beside the road"!

I feel cared for.

For anybody worrying about the cold-turkey from chocolate/coke/cake, it took less than 48 hours for my system to reset to pre-Christmas levels. It's worth it

That's lovely, see that's what Xmas should be about. I love giving presents but this Xmas was all about being around family and the ones I love! Never went out once since I finnished work. Spent the three days around Xmas with my parents which I enjoyed so much. Then spent the next three with my GF which is so rare because of our lifestyles and the fact that we still keep our kids separate from the relationship and have had my kids now since NYE. Couldn't be happier and more content if I tried really. Probably the best Xmas I have ever had.

Did you get fruit in your christmas stocking? I never remember that

baby and crumble · 03-01-2011 3:12pm

Hah, yeah I remember it would always be a mandarin down in the toe bit, myself and my brothers would take everything else out then run around belting each other with it! My dads socks always ended up ruined because they were so stretched from the weight of the mandarin swinging around looking for a head to wallop.

Good times.

Haha no never, more thinking the parents than myself. I was strictly a selection box kinda kid. I've just been eating oranges the last few days and they were a lovely option after all the chocolate.

I did, there was always a few pieces of fruit. Of course, it all got ignored in the rush for the chocolate.

Tbh these days I would actually prefer if someone would give me fruit at Christmas!

Not always, I'm from Dublin and so are both my parents - and I used to get fruit.

rainbowdrop · 03-01-2011 6:28pm

The nearest thing I'v had to fruit recently is strawberry and orange flavoured chocolate Roses lol Got money, perfume, slippers and CD's for Christmas - I must be getting old cos I was more excited about the slippers than anything else;)

Can't wait to get back to normality now, healthy eating and no alcohol for me until St Patrick's Day!!*
