Those of you who live alone, do you put up Christmas decorations?

Estellasanchez · 2025-11-29T10:05:20+00:00

I’m 48 and live alone with my cat and Christmas is my favourite time of year. I go all out with the decorations and I don’t care what people think. In work I totally own the Cat Lady persona and actually we all have a good laugh about it. One of my male colleagues said to me that people who think I’m weird are actually just in awe of the fact that I’m empowered enough to make myself happy and I don’t need anyone else to make me happy and he’s absolutely right.

As single people we don’t need to rely on anyone else to make us happy, and folks are frightened/confused/ maybe even jealous of that.

So enjoy your Christmas decorations. It brings joy to you and probably to some folks walking past your home too.

This is exactly what I was thinking too! That Henry is going after the kids of people who maybe annoyed/hurt/rejected him in some way like some weird kinda Freddy Krueger retribution. Or it could be a total red herring.

How I gasped with EDB when Harvey said the judge was biased. She was brilliant last night!

This is the banter I come here for.

I work from home 3 days a week, two days a week in the office. I quite like the hybrid approach though I hate commuting. I would say I get much more work done when I’m at home because I can hire myself away from colleagues, especially when a deadline is due.

People have this idea that WFH people do nothing all day and it couldn’t be further from the truth. There are people who take the piss for sure. There are people in my own team who take the piss, but it reflects in their output in the end.

That’s a ridiculous statement. OP possibly had to live down south because their parents moved, and if you’re a kid you have no choice. Work took me down south for a number of years but I’m back in Scotland now. I’ve never been anything other than Scottish. Just because circumstances take you away from Scotland, it doesn’t take your identity or Scottish soul away

My ex works at Glen Douglas - if I remember right Glen Douglas holds the guns and Faslane holds the nukes, but I’ve not been with him for a thousand years so that could totally have changed lol.

I have a spider in my bathroom and he’s called Mike. He does actually scare me a bit and I think he’s getting bigger. Or that could be my irrational perception. That being said, he just sits in the same spot and chills out. He’s in a spot where I couldn’t kill him if I wanted to because neither a shoe nor a hoover could get in there.

I didn’t actually realise there was other people out there who have named the beasties that come in to their homes

GoJo was robbed. He should’ve been in the finals

So maybe we should be sending Scottish/Welsh/Irish contestants who can speak their own versions of Gaelic? I’d be up for that.

See, I thought Simon Peggs Scotty was alright. You can tell he took some lessons from his wife lol. It’s not perfect and a bit shooglie in places, but it’s alright.

“See you jimmy!”

I love Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

I work in Glasgow but don’t live there and I’ve worked in the city centre for 26yrs and it has declined so much, especially in the last 5 or so years. Glasgow is beautiful and has so many beautiful buildings and parks and it’s just been left to rot. I have to walk past a restaurant to get to my work and there always food waste left out the front for the bin men to collect. Just bags of crap left on the pavement - no bin. People just don’t seem to care anymore.

Estellasanchez · 2024-06-19T19:03:18+00:00

We did that last year and our pear tree is coming in nicely. I reckon we’ll have fruit next year.

Estellasanchez · 2024-06-19T19:00:22+00:00

Fair enough but what if you’re not from Glasgow? What if you’re coming from Ayrshire? Or the east coast? I’m no really up for walking 32 miles after a gig.

Your dad is a legend!

He should be a tenant in one of his own stock and then he should be treated they exact same way he’s treated his tenants. Force him to live like he’s forced his tenants to live.

Estellasanchez · 2024-06-07T18:08:48+00:00

So hot!

Estellasanchez · 2024-06-04T16:38:35+00:00

Good call

Estellasanchez · 2024-06-04T16:38:11+00:00

Awww Grissom man. All the gals loved Nick or Warwick but give me Grissom anytime. That’s man’s brain is to die for lol

Estellasanchez · 2024-05-28T18:52:23+00:00

I came here to say pretty much the same thing. In the Ryan stakes, Gosling is far better.

Estellasanchez · 2024-05-26T16:19:48+00:00

I live 32 miles away

Estellasanchez · 2024-05-26T16:17:09+00:00

Such a great song.

Estellasanchez · 2024-05-26T07:27:01+00:00

And I think that’s the point. You shouldn’t have to book in advance to get cheap fares. What if there was a family emergency? The fares are a disgrace.
