Stacey Slater is my ideal woman, just the right amount of crazy.

Even with the risk of being murdered, I'd take the risk.

I like that ‘just the right amount of crazy’ is a woman that has murdered and carries the risk of murdering you. Let alone the constant boyfriend dad shagging she’s in to.

If Secret Cam was real, I'd have been subscribing to IceSkater95 straight away.

An episode of Downton Abbey (I don't watch this so not sure if it's representative, but I thought this was atrocious)

I've seen two episodes now. This is garbage.

The kids know me so well.

10yo has just beat me 4-0 at FC24 and is now making shushing gestures to me every time I come in the room. Little shit.

Still at the in-laws, and thanks to a loan of an air fryer, our Boxing Day food has gone according to plan. Cracked into the beers just as the Forest match kicked off, and combined with the buffet style food and dodgy ale I’ve received on Christmas Day, my guts are in an unholy state. 
 

Went to use the bog about 20 mins ago but it was occupied by my father in-law, so nipped to the bedroom next door to wait while he finished. Whilst in that poor kid’s room, I dropped an awful bomb which travelled through the wall and made him shout “Gordon Bennett” in disgust, which made me laugh so much that I slightly pissed myself.

Happy Boxing Day!

I’ve just been binned off by my bank’s app for Face ID 3 times, so probably no more mince pies for Frankie.

My sister got me an ace present - had tried to buy it at my bookshop, but it was still only available in hardback, so decided to wait until next year for the PB release. Looking forward to reading it.

Got my ex a signed copy from Resident Music in Brighton. Very much looking forward to "borrowing" it and never returning it.

Remember the Rotary Club Santa sleigh thing that came down my road?

Went out with 10yo today and had to pop into Sainsburys and they were parked up outside.

Guess which song they were playing over their loudspeaker as I turned the corner.

Literally just saw a TikTok where Dapper Laughs says this moved him to tears. I guess we know who their target audience is Bacon lad. 
 

Also rips off the end of Aftersun.

Also, my son will never get me anything he doesn’t want for himself so no, I do not feel seen!

This made me laugh.

As Home Alone has been one of my favourites for years, this made me smile.

Hosting a Christmas quiz on Monday at work and thought some of you might want to take on the general knowledge round. If you think some of these are way too easy then please understand this is for about 30ish people so the level is hard to get right
