I was pretty much the same. Thought it might be ok since its Monday. Nope. Took about 30mins to get out the car park as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 I went into town last Thursday - Thursday ffs - and couldn't get parked in the shopping centre car park, where I can nearly rely on getting the same spot every time I visit, so f***** off to an even smaller town, where I did manage to get parked. People go mad at this time of the year. The majority of shops reopen on the 27th, some even open on Boxing Day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 I saw a guy with about 10 loaves of white bread and 10 bottles of Prosecco in his trolley. All I could think about was chronic heartburn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senorsoupe Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Boxing day is usually the big day for our extended family, everyone gets together to play a game of broomball (a sort of ball hockey on snow, very Canadian) and then when we get cold go in for beers, desserts and conversation etc... Will be a bit sad this year as my cousin who I was very close with died a couple of weeks ago so will miss seeing him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Ferguson's Hat Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 The woman who lives next door to where I'm working just now was murdered in her home yesterday. Just as well as I've still not bought a turkey. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised I didn't see you, it was empty! My first day outside in 3 days due to my kidney infection was fucking ruined by c***s who are surprised that it's only 2 days until xmas.

Hedgecutter Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Just got a Xmas card and small present from one of 'my' Scouts who is usually a grumpy little teenage madam that thinks that leaders looking for a bit of order are evil and annoying. My faith has been restored. However, now that she evidently knows where I live, I fully expect to be cleaning eggs off my windows come the Easter holidays. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jock_the_squak Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Christmas dinner at the wife's cousin's house for the 3rd year running. There will be 17 in total ranging from 4 to 73. There was 18 last year but my eldest daughter is going to her future in-laws for Christmas dinner this year. It's usually a good day out for plenty of food and drink. 2pm kick-off with champagne and nibbles Father-in-law a stick-on for spilling a glass of red wine over something or someone - family tradition 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Was up at the big Tesco and Antonine Centre in sunny Cumbernauld today. Was busier than normal, but no madness, no parking issues, no big queues. Busiest place was Argos in the older part of the town centre. Enjoyed a coffee in my usual Costa, no dramas there either, other than running out of my favourite toastie, so was forced into having a ham & cheese croissant instead. Viva Cumbernauld. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
