Happy Christmas

[Sue]

I'm still up, having been partaking of the wonders of the new-to-me Netflix.

Have a lovely day tomorrow/today, everyone xxx

[natty01295]

Thanks

[natty01295]

How was your Christmas??

[Sue]

Mine was excellent, hope yours was Natty x

Mine was not good

[JohnL]

Mine was good - but I like my own company and stayed in London.

By the way EDT was packed on Xmas Eve - the only pub really full. Some pubs closed.

The EDT was Indeed packed. So much so that they run out of glasses and only had Plastic ones..

I left early and went for a Curry in Memsaab.

Ours was good with family but so happy to be home.

Natty - what happened?

Merry Christmas Sue - glad you've got Netflix! Now you have to learn how to not be so absorbed by box sets you forget to live ;-)

I'm absorbed by The Crown at the mo!

Until it started buffering constantly on Boxing Day night ....

Back to normal last night though .....

The Ivy House was open for two hours on Christmas Day and was absolutely rammed :)

Has anyone else lost a dear friend on New Years day or at Christmas?

It shits you up for the rest of the year and beyond!!?

[natty01295]

I was Lonely,

Missing my family

[Sue]

Sorry to hear this Natty.

I hope 2018 is better for you x

[natty01295]

[Angelina]

Natty, it will all be good. Have a good evening.

I have always had a shit christmas - homophobia tonight from the white horse bouncers - some nasty abuse

But just put up with it - things will be OK

[Angelina]

That's not nice to hear JohnL - you've had a pretty rough time - hope you're ok?

I suppose, if I'm completely honest - I love my family but the schedule - do this, then and this next and then this and this and this. ...I would love to just go away for Christmas and New Year - just away completely - and take everyone with me. A nice ten star hotel on an island somewhere hot (but not too hot, my nan won't like it). The pressure to make sure everyone is happy is unbelievable. It's like we all have a schedule to follow and can't just do our own thing. My sister cooks for around 15 people and does so well, I would love her to just chill. Maybe I should hire a chef one year, and waiters.

I do - however - absolutely LOVE the week between Christmas and New Years Eve. It's as if time stops and anything goes.

Can't quite get my head around the fact I've got a 9am meeting with the boss tomorrow. but he's super fab, maybe we'll get coffee and it will be ok

Happy 2018 everyone... and you Natty xx

[natty01295]

Angelina;

Thank you

You must be a good person!!

[Angelina]

thanks Natty. I wish. Making people happy is a life goal I have. Life is hard and we're not kind enough to ourselves or each other.

I'm not kind enough to myself. Maybe that should be my resolution this year.

JohnL -

Sorry to hear you were abused. Please report it and CC your MP/local councillor. It is a valid and effective way of making your voice heard. Tell the managers at the WH about this thread as well. Happy 2018!

That's appalling and you should definitely report it both to the White Horse manager and to other appropriate people/organisations.

You should not have to "just put up with it".

New friends?

Happy Christmas and a healthier, good, and kinder 2018
