The Christmas Calamity Thread!

[Blownupdolly]

How about a place to post your Christmas cock ups? Shall I start?

I currently have raging steam blowing from my ears. In fact if I don't calm down soon I will self combust! I have pre ordered all our Christmas meat from Waitrose. They are so busy you even have to book a slot to collect it from the store. Home deliveries were booked out weeks ago. I am due to pick it up a 1pm. I just got my coat on already to go. Got purple Vamo on hand, phone in pocket, wallet..... Now, where is it? After half an hour searching all over the house I rang Mr Dolly at work to ask if he had seen it.....oh yes, of course he's seen it. It's in his god damn coat pocket at work!!! I have no access to any money. I was also planning to get some last minute prezzies.
He is locked inside the prison till 9pm, my daughter has gone miles away to visit a friend so can't borrow any from her. I rang Waitrose to ask if I can pick it up tomorrow, but the girl said she couldn't get through to the meat dept as they are so busy, and would have to get them to phone me back. Sooooo, here I am sat here fuming, praying that Waitrose will take pity on me and let me go tomorrow. Surely they wouldn't be mean enough not to allow it? Either way, Mr Dolly is in the doghouse and Christmas hasn't even started yet!

deep breaths, a hard vape, be happy, dont worry you'll get your meat in good time.

i could have had a few disasters but i'm too laidback (read lazy) to worry about it all. its one day out of my year and i refuse to let it rule me. saying that, the sellotape last night nearly caused me to hit the gin and tonic

I used to be like you Spikey, but since even the simplest shopping trip means getting my wheelchair in and out of the car with a hoist, then finding shop staff to help me, I like to be as organised as I can. I had opted to do it today so that I would avoid having to go Monday or god forbid Christmas Eve!

Sigh... Ok you are right. Is it gin o'clock yet? Ahhhhh, yes, gone midday. Sod it...

You are so right, it is merely one day

Re Sellotape, always pay for decent stuff and get a dispenser for it!

Dispenser? I have one of those, but it didn't stop my granddaughter managing to wrap half the roll up her arm trying to wrap granddads prezzie whilst I wasn't in the room!

yes Blownupdolly I'm starting to think its vodka o'clock too.....

It's a roast dinner...all I have to do is collect ma-in-law, open door in my jim-jams to various family members popping by and have emergency hamper of Thorntons for unexpected present givers. Oh and lots of booze! I refuse to get worked up. I've budgeted sensibly, I've no debts and as long as there's smirnoff in the home I'm happy

and fiddles You never fail to make me smirk!
