Good excuse - I will save it for later

I have found the bottle of nice whiskey SWMBO's son bought me last Christmas

he's a good lad!

This year's is stored safely

You've supped already and are now eying up next years?

I’ve just had a binge fest on Netflix. I won’t be waiting up for the bells, although I doubt I’ll get to sleep as there’s usually fireworks.

I've been eligible to post on this thread for exactly 22 months as of today, but I still consider myself too young

Is he implying we're old 🤣

This time of year alway reminds me of my daughter at Y2K

I was an IT specialist - so I was on call and had a mobile phoen handy - which was unusual in those days

Our daughter was a "bad sleeper" - I mean REALLY bad

for New Year we we at her Mum's mother's house and got her to bed OK - for a change

Then Y2K midnight hit and she woke up and we just opened the curtains and we all watched fireworks everywhere

It was magical - Y2K that I had worked to make a non-event for so many years and holding my daughter while watching the fireworks

One of the magical moments of my life

Oh - and the phone did not ring!!!!


just which her bitch of a mother had not been there!!!
