Trouble at Christmas

it was on sunday on bbc1 at 7pm. did anyone watch it ?

no

well...err.. that's helpful TVmercia...

I watched it... it was rather amazing most of it, all the things that could happen to people over the festive period...

The woman who got an electric shock from anything she touched was rather interesting... that'll teach them for living in a house with dodgy electrics!

And I know one way you won't get a snake in your tree... buy it at Homebase!

And I was rather pissed off at the woman who was shouting at her husband for buying a dog... if she hadn't shouted so much, the dog wouldn'tve gone on a rampage s***ting everywhere! Typical woman! (sorry!)

i thought the laurie family were the best. i couldnt stop laughing when that horse was running a muck in the house.
especially when it chased them around the table and then destroyed everything.

classic

You'd be lucky to get one at this time of year...the powers that be at Homebase normally reduced and sell off all their Christmas stock before mid-December, in order to get their New Year furniture range in. I used to work there, and would get annual abuse from people who wanted to buy Christmas decorations at...erm...Christmas.

AAAHHH! THA DOG'S ON FIRE!

That woman got electric shocks because of her sad and deranged idea that her husband had to put a shelf up on Christmas Eve. Honestly, don't she think people have more important things to do on Christmas Eve than put a poxy shelf up! Serves the daft bat right. Great programme though!

Hmm... well I have a really bossy Aunt who told my Dad he had to paint a room on Christmas Day a couple of years ago when we stayed at my cousins farm in Oxfordshire! Needless to say he refused! She also told me to hoover the sitting room and then after a few minutes took the hoover away because I "wasn't doing it right" according to her!

That was an interesting Christmas... some of the family went out horse riding in the morning, then we spent most of the afternoon cleaning the tack in the kitchen, then we opened our presents at about 6pm! While half the family were off horse riding I stayed with my Dad and watched Sky and went to a pub!

Don't think I want another Christmas like that in a hurry!

You must have had a wonderful time cleaning the bathroom on the most eagerly waited day of the year. What were in your presents? Marigold gloves and a dustbuster!? You must have the patience of a saint to hold back from telling her where to go. Bless her! My aunt is a bit of a fusspot too and I wouldn't want to spend Christmas with her. Anyway, hope you have a merry Christmas this time around.

Err... didn't say anything about cleaning the bathroom!

And yes, this Christmas should be fine - spending it in Devon and I think she's in Kent or somewhere this year!

Did I say "bathroom"? So I did! I meant kitchen! Never mind, no harm done!
