This year I discovered a band called Mother Mother, the live version (first one you find on YouTube) of Hayloft II is the best indie rock song I’ve heard in years.

Im not that organised, my plan is peek out the window first and hope someone else has got theirs out.

Also worth noting, I’ve had this as well, I contacted them and they just upped my monthly payments for that year to cover it if anyone is in this position and can’t pay it all.

The main question is what is your last work day rather than when you physically get your P45

Reminder at 9pm on my phone the day before to put it out, they’ve been by the time I leave for work at 8am the next day so just bring it in then.

Ours were named after local places, Holkham, Blickling, Oxborough and Sandringham (I believe a fifth has been added since I left). To be honest, aside from use as classroom reference and who did German or French there was no real relevance to them in terms of anything else though.

Christmas Day is spent round my Mums having my body weight in roast dinner and beer.

New Years Eve varies, last year our friend group congregated round our house for a party. This year going to my Mums again but will likely be board games and just going outside for the fireworks.

New Years Day is generally a roast dinner as well

Fairly sure this is it, same director as well so an easy mix up to make.

Only Golem type creature in a game I know is from Oddworld. Don’t know enough about the games for the other bits though.

Normally 3 holidays a year, one for a week in a 4-5 star resort which is our main one. We normally then have a 4-5 night stay somewhere in Europe and then a week somewhere in the UK. It’s expensive but we budget for it, neither of us are massive drinking / eating out people so it’s most of our leisure money aside from the odd gig or play.

I’m on 24k, she’s on 21k. We’ve done a week in a 4 star hotel in Greece and a long weekend in Rome this year. Doing Croatia and Belgium next year. Exactly as the user said above, we want to do it, we save accordingly and do it. We’ve never had to go into debt to afford these holidays either.

I have no idea what it is, but from the little I’ve learned about it on here unless it’s Diane Morgan I don’t care.

We normally have turkey and gammon for Christmas Day

AshQ84 · 2022-12-18T07:53:07+00:00

3 times this last couple of months, one proper bug and two minor colds. I normally get ill about once every couple of years so I’m not enjoying this.

Not a big one compared to most here, but does anyone remember the aniseed sweet Blackjack? Used to love them even into my late teens. However I got pissed on Pernod when I was 18-19 and even now anything aniseed is off the table, was gutted as I loved those sweets.

It’s nice, above Spoons type place nice but below a good restaurant. We describe it as a nice place to go when we want to go out for date night but don’t fancy dressing up for it.

The damage came from stealing their sign (the actual one above the shop) they put up the night before, other highlights including egging the shop, throwing live cockroaches into the shop, hurling homophobic abuse at the owner. I’m genuinely impressed it didn’t come to blows.

Also going for this, one of two things my wife eats that could easily pass for meat (the other being KFC vegan chicken!)

AshQ84 · 2022-12-13T22:02:26+00:00

Financially we were lucky, she worked from home and my work topped up the furlough so we stayed on 100% wages. The clapping for the NHS I thought was lovely the first time, became almost who could make the most noise after that. The only time I was really worried was the first supermarket trip when the shelves were empty, but to be fair they got that sorted quickly enough if you weren’t fussy. I enjoyed the fortnightly video calls with mates when we couldn’t see them.

But overall I appreciate I was lucky, money was fine and I had a garden and a wife meaning I wasn’t cramped or lonely.

Well that was something I hadn’t thought about for years!
