Yeah... except my cats are not allowed in my bedroom because I'm asthmatic and have enough issues breathing at night without the added joy of cat hair on my pillow. Tbh, I don't think it's Swinging with the Finkels. It is. It's when he thinks his wife has slept with someone else, which even though he agreed to he can't handle it and leaves.

It’s not Watson, I think it’s a scene from Swinging With the Finkles

Bloody cat, waking me up by standing at the bedroom door screeching. 😾

My folks have gone, but I'm Christmassing too, at least when I'm at home. In work yesterday and today, but now I plan to hibernate, eat, and watch crap for the next four days. Heaven. Have to brave a shop on the way home to buy cat food, I don't want to have to leave the house just for cat food anytime soon.

Well I felt like utter death yesterday, so it seems you're right. Slightly healthier today but not completely.

In contrast, this is me right now.

Eurgh, half of the UKs motorists are expected to be on the motorways today. 😱 Glad I’m not one of them!

Just had a completely cringeworthy encounter. Was booked in for a Christmas meal with one of my groups, and my sister in law who I'm not keen on had booked onto the same meal. It made me think twice about going, but I thought I can't let her stop me going to the things I want to do so sod it, and it's highly unlikely I'd be sat next to her anyway. So I get there, see the place names, she's far away from me, great. I go to the toilet, come back, and people had rearranged the place names so I was sat right next to her. So annoyed! So I was saying to the people who'd been messing about with the place cards, wanting to swap with someone, and it was all, 'oh, you can't move him, he's with them, you can't move her, she's with someone else, you could go down the end?' I was like, I'm not sitting down on the end on my own! I was happy with this seat until you started F***ing around with the place holders, so then they wanted to know why I wanted to move, so I said because I was now next to my sister in law, who I didn't really get on with, at which point I discovered that apparently they were really good friends with her. Cringe. So then my sister in law comes in and is really over the top as she always is, talking to me like we're best buds, with her two mates eyeballing me across the table like I'm evil for daring to say I don't get on with her. Eurgh. When I'm not with her I think fine, if someone wants to be my friend that badly I'll make an effort... but then she annoys me so much I just can't. And, I know I've said this before, but having tattoos is not an invitation for people to give their opinions on them. It's as rude as them giving an uninvited opinion on my hair or my clothes, 'why do you have that tattoo on your arm? What's going on with the tail, it looks like a carrot?' None of your F***ing business is why I have it on my arm. I don't give a shit what you think it looks like. Being polite when someone has pissed you off is so annoying. Times like that I wish I could be an uncaring of social convention as Sherlock and just say exactly what I'm thinking. Which would probably be hilarious since I look quite innocent and harmless and people don't realise how scrappy I am until they get to know me. Fingers crossed the doggy is okay!

Nasty nasty Arcadia. Thanking of bumping me off.

Eurgh, that's a shitty response.

When my cleaning isn't quite going to plan. I'm doing part of a room at a time then going to watch telly for a bit. Kitchen tops and bathroom bits are done, and they are the main things.

SHHHHHHHHH!!!! Don't just go giving away my secrets willy-nilly!

First... Then... when I get a beer and my headphones on...

Lol, I watched Zootopia (or Zootropolis depending where you live) and the mice/hamsters etc are all driving the spitting image of my car. That is clearly a carton version of a Fiat 500.

I'll take some snow too! Too much rain here.

Ah, but he was! He clawed his way out of there and has now found himself trapped in the rib cage.

This... is... horrific. It's looks like she's eaten him but he's still alive.

In the fridge ready for Christmas dinner. Nope, not my cat. I do have a Christmas hat I put on my cat sometimes, and it makes me laugh for days.

Yay, finally have some festive cheer creeping in!

Yup, I feel you - that’ll be me on Saturday, manically scrubbing everything before my parents arrive.

I don't have any expectations on me, Christmas is pretty chilled in my house, just not much excitement either.

It's annoying, I want to be feeling festive and jolly but it's not happening. I probably should have forced myself to go to the Christmas pub quiz on Tuesday but I was too exhausted. 🤶🎄🤶🎄🤶

I'm stumped how they manage to leave so many in sheds here tbh.

I'm still not feeling very festive. At least I'm not feeling the depression I normally get this time of year, though I'm not particularly chipper either. I did just get an email query from a customer which includes the line 'seems very hard on the fixed nipples' which made me chortle. Whilst looking for the Bad Santa gif I came across this NSFW (hence in spoiler) Martin Freeman one (Love Actually) which startled me enough to make me laugh.
