Got home about an hour ago. The dogs have opened their presents. Now ensconced on the sofa with me. Prince with his chin on his new favorite toy. Hollie asleep exhausted. Lovely, lovely day yesterday until about 9.30 pm when in the middle of a game of "Cards against Humanity" I came out of the loo to it all kicking off between my daughters boyfriend and her son. I don't care what started it. I backed off into the office for a few minutes. I then found my inner tiger. Trust me, I really don't do this. I let peoples arguments resolve themselves. But I remember all the years I did Christmas for the family whilst working fulltime and with children at home. My daughter had pulled all the stops out even though she has had a bug for the last week and is feeling really rough. I waded in. I was so angry that they were spoiling such a fantastic day. Sorry but I told them they were petty and infantile and I didn't care who started it. They were ruining a really good Christmas and to pack it in. They were behaving like children and if they felt that strongly about their differences sort it out on another day when they were sober. I was actually amazed that they stopped. One went to bed as did I. The youngsters stayed up for another couple of hours.

I have never managed to stop an escalating family argument before. One of them isn't a drinker and the other one was very drunk.

Sounds like a normal boxing day to me!

Sounds like a normal boxing day to me!

Quite! But it's a long time since I've had any experience of it and I don't want to go there again.

Evening all, hope you've all had a nice Boxing Day
The beef was divine and still enough for a few days yet

The robin fed at 06:45.
Almost horizontal sleet. Not that cold.
Builders already at work since at least 08:00, indoors, over the road!

Update on the weather....we now have heavy snow

[Snoop Puss]

It rained in the night! Only about 4 mm/litres per square metre, but that's better than nothing. And although it's due to be extremely windy today, some of it will have soaked in. Unbelievable. No more forecast, but anything is better than nothing.

Another working day ahead. Mr Snoop is trying to sort out all his junk on the drive. I've offered to help, but the offer was not welcomed!

Anyway, another day, another dollar (working day here). Hope we all have a good one.

[Nannysally99]

Morning all, got up to snow falling. Not settling though.
I might go into work later, if not, then definately tomorrow
Need to get back to normal and out of the food temptation zone

Happy Wednesday from Sunshiny SW - yes really, it is Its 22 in the GH. There's a dusting of white stuff on the hills to the north and I can see snow across the water in Somerset. Hope you're all warm and powered up.
No plans for today - a little weeding, a little meandering and a bit of planning for 2018. First I have to make a plan to decide what I'm going to plan I might make a list after that.
Have a good day whatever you think you're doing!
