Blimey your a bit hard ,christmas is an excuse to binge for a couple days .

 

I don't really do binge any more: I remember puking after my first binge of jelly, ice cream and trifle at my Uncle Dick's wedding in 1955, I don't know why he was called Dick, his name was Clifford, (but my Auntie Jean always had a smile on her face).

Further binges followed in the 60s and 70s with an array of very different consumables far removed from jelly and ice cream.

The last time I got truly hammered was at my Dad's funeral, Christmas Eve 1975,  I do remember that there was no vino left for Xmas day cos I'd already drunk it all.

I daren't eat too much either, I'm on a permanent diet, if I so much as look at a box of chocolates I put on a couple of pounds, Pringles and Pistachios are a binge for me, (the wife will get left behind on the Pistachios, it'll take her ten minutes just to get the shell off of one).

I have been on a little diet i bought a load of cheap (really cheap) slimfast without looking at the ingredients which despite  saying no added sugar has a hell of a lot of sugar in it which isnt good for my diabetes so i just miss one meal ,one slimfast and two crumpets for breakfast but excercise is the problem i do my 10,000 steps but its not enough and going round the block twice knackers me so i end up kipping so not really much good.

As for drinking i used to be out most nights for a couple on the way home from work then binge at the weekend as we tended to take 5 galls of bullmers original when we went out on the boat fishing (never understood how we got back into pompey never mind home) times were different then .Now its a can of cider once a week looking at the lawn i just cut lol

Trouble is i like food ,any food theres bugger all else to do this time of the year in a small village in the rain ,you can only 'sort' your shed so many times !

I need a project to do ,thought about doing up an old scooter to relive my youth but they aint £30 for a pair with a sidecar anymore so thats been dismissed

My bloodtest was cancelled bugger knows why we go to tier 4 boxing day but for some reason the bloodletters  closed up shop today not tomorrow ,now its a month to see if the drug increase has wrecked my liver !
