I don’t mind her spending Kev , it’s all the useless tat she buys . once she’s spent it at xmas there will be nowt left for the new cooker she keeps banging on about , sweet revenge . We are only poor pensioners after all .
Hello can some one tell me how long till Christmas cozz I need to hibernate, what a farce tons of money throwed away on useless tatt which gran kids rip open the present and chuck what evers inside down in the corner, usually cheep Chinese plastic crap. My idea is give em some packetts of garden vegitable seeds and get em out there helping and when harvest comes sell there produce then they may realise what the real worlds like and how hard money is to come bye in the first place.
Now I have’nt read all this thread so I maybe replicating on certain subjects already mentioned so apologies in advance, the real reason for the festive period is over looked not that I am religious or out but that don’t mean I am a bad person and for sure some of them baddun’s do go to church but I always think they are just praying for forgiveness for all the bad they have done, roll on Easter and the beginning of summer, Buzzer.

We had the “we’ve given you some free christmas cards and a crap biro now give us your bank details” letter from some charidee today. Thanks, that’s a couple of quid saved towards my nominated charidee. My beer fund.Just think of all the good deeds being done by your donations…right…[zb] that
Better to put " return to sender" on that envelope I reckon…
“Return To Sender” 
Muckaway didn’t ask for the Junk Mail in the first place so why should he have to use half of his pension up to write “Return To Sender”. Do you know how much all that ink costs nowadays. 
And before anybody suggests anything, I can’t see G.O.M. lending him his pencil.

Even Ebenezer Scrooge wasn’t such a miserable greedy old git 
You’re true to form though gents, keep up the pace please 
Mr ‘cheerful’ Ebenezer Scrooge was Black Balled by The Committee for being too generous.

Mrs rigsby is wanting to go shopping for xmas cards tomorrow . Where have all last years gone ? It would be easier to readdress them and send them back to where the came from . I’m sure our esteemed member GOM would agree concerning the outrageous cost of cards , hell a cheap one is 99p and the family cards are ridiculously expensive . We shall see them all xmas day and say merry xmas anyway . Don’t get me on about present either , spend hours buying useless tat , to receive equally useless tat back , and the house is already festooned with said tat that we can’t throw out " because if so and so calls they’ll notice it’s gone " Bah Humbug again .
No problem re Mrs Rigsby…“off you go my love, hurry back”
AS for the cost…HOW BLOODY MUCH■■? 
If that the sort of money my staff is paying the are going to be some very strong words
The problem is that mrs r doesn’t drive or have a bus pass , therefore yours truly has to transport her on her spending sprees . As to the cost , when it’s spent its gone and further plans for more expense are rejected on the grounds of impending destitution . " We need a new cooker " , sorry love we spent it all at xmas . She can’t remember her bank card number to shop online , so i’m safe for now . Stopping her rations doesn’t work , she just breathes a sigh of relief .
We went out for a drive yesterday from the holiday cottage and spotted Boundary Mills at Colne, “We could have a look in there to kill some time” Mrs W said and, being a keen shopper, I eagerly agreed. Cars were parked in every available spare piece of road and grass verge, car park was full and so was the coach park! Absolute bedlam inside, no room between the ailes to get her electric chair through and no chance of actually seeing anything! I used the loo and we returned to the car empty handed, nipped down to the onsite chippy and had a takeaway instead! “Christmas is over a month away, why are folk shopping so early” she asked, a bloody good question!

Right, having watched this I’m all prepared for when the Sally Army and the Lions come knocking…

Just found out we need a power cut on Monday evening 5th December; That’s when the Lions club drag “Santa” around. I was rather miffed last year as they’ve turned the music down which means I get less time to get around the house and turn the lights off. 
Aye but some of us seen Kev Mac out shopping today
He must have been sent out with threats of dire repercussions. Now the cat’s out of the bag we’ll just sit back and wait for his excuses to come over t’interweb.
I heard that Kev was driving for an agency.

Your on the right track Mushroomman, I am out driving today. Got to get the SLUSH fund built up to pay for that mechanical sledge. 
Regards Kev.Ps I hope I don’t see any of that white stuff today!!!
You shouldn’t see much white stuff Kev, it’s supposed to be Black Friday but take care out there as some people have already got their Christmas driving heads on. 
Come all ye faithful to this Chrimbo cash in courtesy of Oxfordshires’ famously subsidised and overpriced visitor attraction…
…Please note the “Park and Ride” is on a bit of farmland with some portable lighting towers. Potholes included at no extra cost, which is a miracle for Blenheim.

That’s it. Radio is now off until January as I have just heard the first Christmas song played … FFS, it’s not even December yet! Bah Humbug!
I’m on track this year…
I’ve got the cards sorted…
A very attractive all black design, and no possibility of misunderstandings arising from the message inside, because there isn’t one!!
And now for the best bit… due to the timeless design, they’ll never be out of date.
