I could inject sage & onion into my veins.

Hope you get to make the most of your Christmas Day xx

I really appreciate my Christmas Eves now I actually have them. Used to always be really late home (even after the customers had gone we had to take down Christmas & set up the sale before we could leave), so I was always knackered & pissed off. I never take a peaceful Christmas Eve for granted.

(Our traditional viewing of the actual film is reserved for Christmas Eve with hot chocolate & festive nibbles)

(Almost) snap! We were watching a really interesting video about how historically accurate MCC is.

I know that one! 2 Minutes to Midnight! I can’t remember most of them (had no idea about Aces High), but Rainbow’s Gold/Mission From ‘Arry sticks in my mind for some reason. As do the overly-tight jeans on the back cover 😳

Nothing worse than a prick in a nylon clip-on tie who thinks he’s smarter than you. (I was in a relationship with one for 6 years, so I speak from experience)

Fin.

He don’t like it when I pointed out that statutory rights only apply to the person who bought it, so as it was a present he didn’t have any.

He demanded to see my manager, she told him the same thing and he flounced out.

Once I had a guy wanting a refund who told me he didn’t have a receipt because it was a present. When I said I couldn’t refund (I did offer an exchange), he got really shirty and literally yelled at me, “I’m the assistant manager at Curry’s, I know my statutory rights!”

The only thing worse than people buying presents is the people coming in the second you open after Christmas to demand cash refunds on things they don’t have receipts for.

I’m always aggressively nice to shop staff. It takes so little effort to smile and say thank you.

“I’m so very sorry that the thing you want is out of stock because you’ve left all your shopping until Christmas Eve. I definitely get paid enough to care and am not fighting the urge to punch you in the face repeatedly”

Wait what

Leave it. Save your sanity. I put mine together really fast, but then thought, “Hmm, maybe I should change that track. Oh! And I forgot about this one! And how could I leave THAT out?!?”

Leave. It. Alone.

That way madness lies.

I’ve never known anger like it. I am FURIOUS with myself.

This one is actually causing me brain ache. I’ve already prototyped about seven different versions.

She always was a tenacious old bird.

I really want this. It’s so pretty. Need to save my pennies up. Hoping I’ll get a tenner in a card from my gran for Christmas. It’s doubtful, as she died in 2017, but you never know 🤞

The only memory I have of this is that one of Bruce’s lines is “oh shit!”

And I might even be making that up.
