It was a pleasure Spud. We'll def have to do this again sometime. Enjoyed meeting your partner too.
Merry Christmas to you all! I worked up until Xmas Eve, we did a deep clean of the factory for end of year. My feet were throbbing and my biceps were burning! Then yesterday went shopping for the last minute stuff, wrapped gifts, prepped food, made cheesecake. This morning we did the presents, I cooked lunch, ate cheesecake and then bailed on going out to rellys this afternoon in favour of a couple of hours sleep! Must've needed it. My kids and ExMrP saw the effort I made and they all thanked me privately and individually for making Christmas. I did it! I know a few days ago I was stressing about my workload (you guys were really supportive ๐ฅน๐) but once I vented and got over my own performance anxiety I fucking rocked it ๐ And then crashed lol.
I love that your efforts were acknowledged, you are such an amazing person for pulling that off, but also knowing you needed some time out. Merry Christmas, Peeler, you're so great!!
It's great to hear you were able to pull off Christmas so well and that everyone noticed. It's the little acknowledgements like that which make all the difference

Had a great time at Thornbury Witchโs xmas event. My first time meeting anyone from the DT (including from the Reddit days) and it was so nice for this little corner of the internet to come to real life in the way it did.

Merry Christmas everyone.
With a special shout out to YarraByte, you've been doing a great job. Enjoy your day off!
Merry Christmas everyone. I'm currently at a chemist warehouse getting drugs because one of the kids seems to be a bit sick. Typical Christmas stuff now I'm a parent. Everyone enjoy yourselves today whatever you do
Have a ripper day everyone ๐ฅ
You too mate ๐ฅ hope it's uneventful except for drinking and singing

Absolutely awesome Xmas lunch โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ
My kids are obsessed with intergalactic by the Beastie boys so the present from their great grandfather was a collectible action figure set of the robot and the octopus. It was great to hear them say it was their favourite present when they opened it
Merry Christmas all. ๐ฝ
Merry Christmas ya filthy animals!! ๐
The big question is: Did the orphans behave themselves at your table @TheWitchofThornbury2?
They did indeed. Mind you, I did insist that they wait until the christmas tree was removed from the oven before they started devouring it. All up, it was a very nice afternoon with good conversation - we ended up not bothering with the board games. I enjoyed the afternoon very much.
Pat on the head for everyone.
I didn't swear too much!!
I'm proud of you!
Merry Humbug everybody! Enjoy your excessive foodness and piles of crumply cat cardboard. Sasha will be around later to eat naughty children ๐
Christmas was bountiful.
I have procured
- new coat
- several new shirts, jeans etc
- perfume
- tiny wee rechargeable blender and selection of protein shakes for fitness gainz
- enamel pin selection
- a ceramic wall hanging doodad that looks exactly like Chook
- a Lions club fruit cake ๐
As far as I know I'm not autistic. But I imagine it would feel like when you walk into a chemist warehouse and they have those TVs playing at the end of every isle and they're all playing the same thing slightly out of sync. They all have volume on as well so you don't know which one to focus on and it adds so much aural clutter to an already visually busy store.
Nah, that's adhd. Asd is like a monitor on the wrong frequency and it follows you everywhere and you can never stop noticing it. Also no one else can hear it and they don't get why you're losing it.
I'm trying to buy myself a Christmas present and the LG website is not being very cooperative. Happily autofilling the address but then telling me the postcode is invalid. Very rude.
Santa brought me seven whole hours of sleep for Christmas! Now I'm well placed to stay up all night eating. Hopefully he'll also bring us a peaceful night free of any major Christmas disasters.

Idk what y'all are doing this Christmas morning but I just read a really cool article about tardigrades and our efforts to adapt their survival superpowers for human use: https://bbc.com/future/article/20250917-harnessing-the-superpowers-of-the-most-resilient-life-form-on-earth
