You know the drill guys - how were your days? What’s for dinner? Plans? Any other business?
Bonus question, how under control is your Christmas shopping? Personally I have increasing levels of PANIC.

Day was miserable. In the pub next to the fire now. Pasta and pesto for dinner. Haven’t started Christmas shopping, but am off to Fortnum & Mason tomorrow after work so that should take care of a few. Marmalade all round. Only the engagement ring to buy, then…
evening FL, thanks for doing the honours. bit tirked. got a couple hours work to do, then masterchef. not sure what’s for tea, escalopes maybe.
i’ve managed to get my christmas shopping down to the bare minimum levels of effort so i’m not worried. will do it on dec 19th on amazon.
edit:
tirked ffs

Evening FL et al
Still in work sorting out the quiz. Will have some Boursin and crackers later followed by masterchef. Not done any of my Christmas shopping and don’t have the motivation to do it.

Good luck with the engagement ring and subsequent proposal 
I realised this afternoon that my scrubbing brush is over ten years old. Going to treat myself to a new one tomorrow. Excitement levels: far too high really
Evening, flashinglight et everyone

Hello!
Gonna go to the shop soon as I don’t have much dinner-ish food but I would have to put on some normal clothes rather than this Christmas Elf costume so I’m putting it off for a bit still.
Bonus answer, I have bought some kick-ass presents for the two young children in my life, still need to get something for both of my parents and both of my siblings.

Day was intense. Big visit from a director. Went really well. Had a half day so left at 1 and slept for a couple of hours. My parents are visiting for the evening so we’ve taken them to my favourite pub in winch. Having a pint and burger. Lovely. Day off tomorrow too.
But do you though? Do you really?

Have you sorted out your unruly staff yet?
Just realised I forgot once again to buy hot chocolate while I was out again, annoyed at myself.
Had a really cool class earlier, learnt various new soldering techniques and now my mountain pendant has a slightly wonky loop to hang from:
Just polishing to go now!
Missed a bus on the way home due to absent mindedness, considering not doing the follow up course I was going to sign up for because the stress of bus travel is doing me in 
My mum kindly offered to pick up R from his dad on her way home, but he was very late dropping him off, so she is naturally going to be annoyed with me all evening.

Sort of. Getting there, but they flair up every now and again. Standard thing of not being managed when they should’ve been and allowed to get away with more than they should do. They’re not used to this though. Fun fun fun
