Oh my, they've been breeding like rabbits!

Somebody asked me the other day if I was having the family round for Christmas.

It set me to thinking that if I did, I'd need a table to seat, hmm let's see, how many......?

54, eek! eek! eeeek!

That is just including my ma and pa, my offspring, my siblings, their partners and children and their partners and children.......

I only have two kids!!

I'm checking all female offspring into the nearest nunnery, arranging mass vasectomies and then runnin' for the hills.........

You'll be needing to borrow this table then!!!

[lynda66]

lol my family would never come round for xmas dinner, cos they know they will probably get a cheese sandwich and a sausage roll ....... and the good bit is, i pack son off to his grandmas with his dad, for turkey and have a couple of days watching crap on the telly and eating choccie ...... much like every other day then

I dread the day my kids have kids so far I only have one grandson. I have five kids, at the moment three of them have partners and one of them has a son. So thats including me and OH eleven unless I include in-laws and sisters partners and kids would be twenty three. Last year my sister asked me what were we doing on boxing day and I replied the kids are coming no she said I cant cope with that lot as well. She thought I was going to say it would just be me OH and daughter. !!!

3 thats all i gots

I did invite my mum, back in June, at which point she informed me she was going to derby with my sister, which as my dad died earlier in the year i could fully understand..............right up until yestaerday when i asked her when she was going, and she informed me she wasn't now, and was going to my brothers down here instead.......I am afriad at that point i Lost it a bit and said ' what the hell i asked you back in june to come to us'

so now we have to go there xmas eve, which i hate doing cos i like to be here to cook, AND i have to get the train cos she doesn't want to drive, and the ruddy train will be full of drunks as usual.

I hate xmas!

Poor Bride,

families can be hard work!

Would you like to retreat to the hills with me instead? We could get in a couple of (dozen) bottles of Peapod off-sale from the Gardeners Rest?

My fambly are all disappearing over the hills and far away this Christmas, even my Dad has just announced that he's going on a cruise, over New Year as well. Dunno how I'm going to get everyone's hamper pressie's to 'em - it'll cost a fortune with Royal Mail and everything will probably end up smashed to pieces

oh begger that, if they are all off elsewhere, ask them to visit before they go, or when they get back........ presents are still presents, the date is not THAT important! ( ok to me it's not, but if they were religious they wouldn't be going away)

[crazy_red]

Bride,

I've just thought, it might be dangerous in the hills on our own...you know, being wilty girls and all...

Maybe I should also book us some, er, ahem, burly bodyguards, you know,...in case of lions and tigers and bears, oh my!
