I went to bed at 3am but in this world you have to turn up, log on and grind out. Sitting at my desk in silence, it's like being back at the Koreans.

Just got the last few bits. Big bags of Walkers Max chicken wing and Keogh's cheese and onion on offer
Here’s the office Christmas tree:
I'm a twit
Well, my sister is also getting a divorce. She and her soon-to-be-ex-husband and the kids are coming up to my dad's. I'm moving out for a week to live with my mum.
24th: My ex-wife and kid are staying at my dad's for a bit of normality, I'll sleep on the sofa
25th: Christmas morning open presents and breakfast, then I go with them to her family (who are staying in a lodge) to see them open presents for 30 mins then drive home in tears and cry in the basement for the rest of Christmas day
26th: Go to the lodge again, have a fake Christmas dinner and then drive home to my dad's to meet and greet the second destroyed family in my family
27th: Work in Glasgow (going through to escape) then staying at mums
28th: Same as above
29th: no idea but staying at mums
30th: no idea but staying at mums
31st: at dad's for heavy drinking and hogmonay, this will undoubtedly be a disaster as there will be so much tension and friction and alcohol and awkwardness. Thankfully my ex won't be there. Staying at my wee brothers' girlfriend's mum and dads.
1st: Going to mum's for New Year's Day dinner with my ex and daughter. Staying over with my daughter. Ex going back home.
2nd: Handing daughter back over and going to dad's to no doubt see the damage and say goodbye to my really good mate/brother-in-law forever (maybe they live down south)
3rd: Back to work thank fuck.
Trying not to get depressed. I have doubled my ADD meds and have made the decision to drop the Prozac. I'm going to really cut back on the booze as well.
Watch every Leeds game.
Fairy Tale of Dundee.
I’m in Scotland. That’s all the news I have.
Why the fuck are you going near her family?
Where's the year review thread? @Foe?
This morning I had a dream that @Ian posted a picture of his front door saying
And for some reason I was in London (dunno) at the time sat in my car scrolling through TTH and saw it and was like wait, that's that door as in I was parked outside his house. So I went upto it and stood with my phone out on selfie mode (landscape) and knocked on the door ready to snap a pic. There was no answer though and then nothing else happened in the dream.Originally Posted by Ian

Well, I'm knackered. I worked on a spreadsheet for an hour and that was about it. Discovered the jumper I was wearing had a massive hole in it.
Just got a Baileys coffee.
I got a bottle of Cool Swan. It's sexy.
Huge withdrawal symptoms. This is fun.
Any of youse got restaurant reccos for Edinburgh?
Tigerlilly. The Dome.
Chez Jules. Great little find.
I'm buzzed on the Malbec.
Just spent what felt like ten hours building some flat pack toy kitchen. Had to sack off two pieces of wood cos they just WOULD NOT FIT.
Everyday as a parent, I appreciate my mum and dad more and more. The amount of shite they had to do. Appreciate your folks, lads. Wish them all a happy Christmas from me if you have the chance. I’m glad they’ve raised you all like they have.
And ehh @wullie it’s not that bad really. This Christmas (and the next one, really) will be okay but after that it’s not about you anymore, and you can’t have fun without someone gegging in, or get drunk, or take your eye off the little spithanded bulldozer for one second.

Ha. We had to get the in laws to have ours for a few hours last year so we could build a FUCKING TOY CUNTING KITCHEN. They are misdesigned on purpose. They must be.
Things are simpler these days. Mass-consumables are the order of the day, although she'll still end up playing with the fucking boxes.
I've got lucky tonight, with our 9 week old so far sleeping like a dream. Me and the Mrs split the night with me dealing with him pre-1 am and her doing afterwards. Winner.
If you're not getting your toy kitchen from Ikea then you're doing something seriously wrong.
What age is your kid now, @Baz?
What's the deal with this elf on a shelf pish too? My pals kids were talking gibberish.
Is Zooey deschanel coming round or not?
It's the worst thing ever.
Avoid at absolutely all costs.
A month or so ago I saw one of them in Iceland (lads it is banging) and thought to myself 'lol "the Nonce in the Sconce"'. Turns out, right, that, as far as I can see at least, nobody else has called it that anywhere on the internet.
Got some presents today:
An 11 inch Heston Blumenthal ham and salmon slicer (I imagine if I try to cut anything else with it he calls me an ignorant cunt), a Game of Thrones blanket, Super Smash Bros, Stupid Deaths board game, a stress ball thing and a pack of quality socks.
All good stuff although the last few years I've been more interested in the reaction of my presents to my Mum and my Sister. Gifts went down well with them.
Elf on the shelf cunts need to die.
Merry Christmas lads.
Feliz Navidad, muchachos.
Merry Christmas you filthy animals.
Nollaig shona dhaoibh.
(Sorry Niko, don't assemble the national front)
I’ve just watched Trump tell a seven year old Santa doesn’t exist so that’s my Christmas made.
My hotel doesn’t let you out for cigarettes. This is a fucking crime.(technically it does but when I went by an hour ago the bloke seemed very pissed off to have to deal with it, just give me a fucking alley to do my addiction in, its a five star hotel I’m not going to shoot up or something)
As much as I loathe smokers, that's mental.
It’s my right to watch Christmas tv till 3 am drinking cans of fosters. Why do I have to bother staff?
Had a pretty good night, assembled a gang of about 15 old friends and drank lots of beer in town, but also had the sense to go home earlyish. First Christmas day without a massive hangover for about 8 years
I’m in Brum after Boxing Day till New Year. You know it’s time for chess (once you introduce me to the person I can get the kind of materials to make chess bearable obvs)
Kitzbuhel Christmas Day lfg
Merry Crispmus people.
