How to survive the Christmas period without putting on an ounce of weight:
Step 1: In the run up to Christmas accept all and any festive snacks, drinks, goodies etc. on offer.
Step 2: On the day itself have a full helping of turkey, ham, stuffing, chipolatas, gravy, plus of course wine, followed up by a couple of helpings of Christmas pud and brandy butter. Don’t bother about the sprouts.
Step 3: On Boxing day, contract Norovirus
Sorry to hear that. I hopoe you are fully recovered very soon.
Thanks
Are babymother & the kids ok?
They gave it to me …
Sounds like a rather extreme form of weight control, from my perspective. Do feel better soon; you need to keep your strength up so you can continue that sparkling wit into the new year.
A slightly less extreme weight loss plan is to keel over with kidney stones at 2am on boxing day morning and then spend the next 3 days on nill by mouth for the majority of the time. Thankfully the worst I had to suffer this year was a slight (and by slight I mean hardly worth mentioning) snuffle. Get well soon.
That’s one present you could have done without!
Take care and get well soon! xx
thanks all. I seem to have mostly recovered today…
It sounds so cheerful for the season, doesn’t it?? “Sometimes called ‘Winter Vomiting Disease’…” Lovely indeed.
Oh hell’s bells. Lovely timing.
Much sympathy. And sympathetic expletives. Was sideswiped by it last year, which was still utterly piggin’ horrid.
Hoping New Year’s Eve mulled wine will still be a possibility for you.
Elizabeth – I think I prefer my illnesses dressed up in a little Latin or Greek
Mike – I’m getting to the point where I think I could stomach a little champagne for the new year
Sad to hear your Boxing Day was less than perfect but pleased to hear that things are looking up for New Year.
Thanks. It seems to be resurrecting itself at the moment though. Grooh
