Today, Later, making gingerbread, maybe a batch of chocolate brownies.
Meeting the kids for lunch somewhere.
I'm still chilling at home at the mo cos I've been a bit wiped out (pretty sure it's just lack of drinking anywhere near enough water and probably not eating right ) but heading out for some coffee soon
Need to try and sort a decent dinner tonight as the kids leave Sunday and I'll be working all day tomorrow (gutting really as the last Saturday of the week would have been awesome to ski with them, but hey ho! One day I'll be retired and able to ski weekends!!)

Saturday - working all day - at least one airport trip and some short station trips I'd guess

Sunday - taking the kids to the airport in the work vehicle - waiting at the airport for clients to bring back to resort. Then, hopefully, sleeping back in my bed!! But if I'm still wiped out, I'll do another night on the sofa and make my bed up on Monday!

Today, tidying the house and a bit of DIY. Waiting with bated breath as to whether the ferry bearing spawn the younger arrives.
Tomorrow, the usual stuff.
Sunday, more of the usual.
Monday, I'll leave the rest of them to have their present opening frenzy and then wander down for a family meal. I'll likely stay the night though that's not certain.
Tuesday, back to the usual.

WFH today but will sack it off early. Think I might go to Leigh-on-Sea and meet up with my Wife and Sister who are shopping and then going for a drink. Don't fancy it really as I'm a tad hungover from last night.

No real idea about saturday and sunday, probably last minute food shopping and xmas day prep and planning.

Xmas day and boxing day were hosting for family and very much looking forward to it.

Merry Christmas ya filthy animals!!

Was going to Portsmouth to drop the Suzuki off to a buyer but he can’t come and look at the bike because he’s too hungover. Fucking Facebook marketplace. Will spend the day continuing to check over and service the ktm.

Weekend and next week will be family’s Christmas stuff at home.

Day off today. Attempted a lie-in but have a snotty cold making breathing fairly challenging, so failed to get much in the way of actual sleep
Got up and had a Teams interview
Walked the dog.
Currently waiting for our gate chap to finish fitting a magnet lock thing to the gates (to attempt to keep them working in high winds), so that I can pop out.

Present wrapping and a start on tax returns will be done at some point in the next 48 hours.

Sunday I'll pack Muz off up north and then pop to a mates for Christmas Eve socialisation

Christmas & Boxing Day with the parents

27th presents and food with Muz

Rest of the week TBC. Sleep will feature highly.

Luckily i have refrained from killing anyone today after making the mistake of leaving the house to get some food from the local Asda.

I live on a very busy B road in Bristol which is closed at the moment and there is only one way in and out of my estate, coming back with some hot food whilst every fucker is using the little back roads was painful today....anyway:

Tonight - Fucking fully aving it in the studio. Going to finally re-record my Dubstep mix i failed to do last week as i was too tired. Pizza on order, many bongs will be smoked and cider drank.

Sat - Fuck all

Sun - Picking up some goodies from a mate at 1pm after doing the housework then am back at mine to try and stay sober ready for xmas day. Getting a lift xmas day to and from BIL's so can drink. Looking forward to my sisters roast dinner...

Mon - Off to parents for a bit then over to one of my sisters for food and xmas stuff. Plan to play Bristol Monopoly apparently, will probs leave around 7pm to come back in the studio as i am a full on music addict and my BIL will moan if we play anything other than xmas suicide music!

Off until 2nd Jan so will hopefully it will be a productive week on music. Off out to a local brewery on NYE as i am meant to be spinning some tunes for an hour so to get free beer, then me and a few mates coming back to mine to fuck around in the studio and enjoy some cheap uncrowded beers...

Have a good crimbo all.
