Today I’ve watched planes with my 2 year old , I’m off to set my trail cam out shortly followed by buying cat litter . I’m not looking forward to the shop.

getthegat Posted December 24, 2017 Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 Last minute shopping (yes really) dog walking. Delivering presents. Food prep. Last presents to wrap. Meals to cook. Some time to reflect on those no longer with us and be thankful for what we have, roof over our heads, warmth, loved ones, dogs and places to shoot. Finish with glass of wine.

Grandalf Posted December 24, 2017 Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 Absolutely nothing that I wouldn't do on any other Sunday/Monday. Pizzas for supper today so that is easy. Gave up anything to do with Christmas eighteen years ago and never regretted it. In my very old view it has just become one great commercial shopping spree. Personal debt goes up by thousands of percent - mostly spent on carp that people don't need or want. The country goes mad and it causes so much stress and unhappiness that it should be banned for anyone over the age of ten. Yes - BAH HUMBUG! Our house will be one little island of tranquillity in a sea of chaos and confusion. (And my bank balance wont change by one penny either). We will listen to the Queens speech because we are old traditionalists and I hope to shoot on Tuesday because I have been invited. Don't know if I will make that because I have tweaked my back. But I hope all the rest of you get whatever you want to get out of Christmas. I will settle for a quiet day and a nice walk with the dogs.

Dougy Posted December 24, 2017 Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 Dropping off a few bottles, Taylor's port, Jamesons and Talisker round some perms. Then stopping off the local to drop another off for the gamekeeper. So not much different from a normal Sunday apart from a trip out to the perms. Ben, I agree with you regarding the chaos, after 28 years in retail seeing the fall outs over who's 1st in the queue (which I used to find funny by the way) all the rush and stress for just 1 day and all we had off at best was 3 days. And that was if Christmas landed on a Sunday which ain't very often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd90 Posted December 24, 2017 Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 I just can’t believe some people get into thousands of pounds of debt for it. I would hazard a guess that it’s the same people who also get into thousands of debt to go away on two holidays a year, have all the designer clothes and gear and latest iPhones though.

Fisheruk Posted December 24, 2017 Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 I went out into the woods before dawn today. Amazed to hear the start of a dawn chorus Song Thrush, Blackbird, Great Tit, Wren and Robin. It is a bit early but very mild. Skeins of Pink Foot flying over. Teal, Wigeon calling and a Woodcock flushed. A great start to the day. Managed to get a Squirrel with my new Chiappa. The tribe is coming tomorrow, 13 around the table for a traditional lunch.

I feel for you I really do. I’ve had bailiff letters constantly for 7-8 years off the tenants who rented my house before I bought it. They carried on applying afterwards too.

I know people get away with stuff like this all the time but I really fail to see how that’s not a criminal offence to be followed up by the Police. Blatant theft. What area and type of person were you renting to mate? Mid they never paid any bills etc how did they pass the credit and employment checks? Or did you not have one?
