Christmas Mishaps

[Glutton4...]

Mr TS had a Xmas mishap last year (some of you may recall): he went out for his work's Xmas lunch and didn't come home until 8am the next day.
He 'missed' the last train, then was unable to find a taxi in the whole of Norwich so bedded down in the Premier Inn.
I wouldn't have minded any of that, except at no point did he think to text me ... until 2.30am which made me so angry that I stayed awake all night, seething

That's the trouble with Wives - we never forget! Is it really a year ago!!!!?

More of a Boxing day mishap really (and I'm sorry for already mentioning this on another thread but..............)

Australia's batting!!!

Blimey, I remember that too TS, how time flies! He must have learned his lesson if it's not happened this year!

Not a mishap as such, but it has come to light today that my youngest granddaughter aged 8 walked home in my size 6 Ugg boots! Her size 3s are here (and are identical to mine)!

Long story but when I was little we had a chimney fire on christmas day.

On Boxing day this year while out up the road my sons neighbour's lost everything including the cat in a house fire. My son was away and asked them this morning if they had a good christmas, he didnt know what to say when told.

Mr TS had a Xmas mishap last year

oh yeah, I forgot the nut one!

He made prawn cocktail last year for his folks who came over. Only he did a Ramsay and deviated from the recipe somewhat: he put walnuts in it.

(they were the walnuts I'd picked off the floor of the parrots cage)

Love that 2sheds! Did he know they were from the parrot?!

I have another restaurant one - a few years prior to the throwing-the-dinner-in-your-lap-gate, I was working in another restaurant... I merrily took a call and booked a large party in for xmas day - think there were 12 of them....

to find out a few weeks later that the restautant wasn't going to be open on xmas day!

I still have a little chuckle wondering if they all turned up and found a closed sign on the door

cat + ham + candle =

so it's Christmas Eve a few years back -
Chirstmas carols playing and candles on the kitchen window sill are alight, we are taking the huge stock pot out of the oven which holds a boiled ham and the boiling water...Monty cat thinks by jumping onto work surface where the pan has been put will enable him to obtain his goal.... the source of that wonderful smell....THE HAM... we panic (of course!) boiling hot water, pan and ham right where he has chosen to land. Mr HF and I, hands grabbing at the kitty cause kitts to jump onto window sill great - NOT as he has now dipped his tail in the burning candle and set his tail on FIRE!!! total mayhem.
Monty cat was fine just singed fur and was left wondering how he failed to get the ham and why we were flapping. We needed a stiff drink.
Cats now removed from area when ham comes out of the oven.

or there was the 'boxing day starling'...
one of the boy cats had brought in a very live starling which we found perched in a fully decked out real christmas tree. Have you ever tried to remove a starling from a christmas tree.... almost impossible. I swear those naughty kitties were laughing at us.
