My Christmas NightmareThe bringing together of one's family and friends over the holiday period is never quite as fun as it is supposed to be: this year, my mum and dad will be in the same room for the first time in 28 months. It should prove interesting.
Tell us about the nightmares you've had over christmas.

Revenge of the lurgy!What is it with Christmas and illness? I was really looking forward to time with the other half, who had been working solidly for weeks. We had got engaged and had a fabuliferous plan to tell both families over Christmas, as it's the only time everyone's together.
A few days before Christmas we are both struck down with some nasty virus, which meant much sofa time with neither of us wanting to get up and procure food. It was all looking like we'd spend the holiday in our cold, miserable flat starving to death.
However, blokie got well enough to drive to my parents. Yippee! His neice got chicken pocks. I've never sodding had it. Arse. So our wonderful plan was scuppered and we had to trawl around the home counties giving people the glad nuptial tidings individually and asking them to keep it a secret (cue the one upmanship we had wanted to avoid).
Oh well. Everyone's happy in the end. Had a great crimbo. But......The man gets ill the instant we get back home and spends his well deserved week off feeling shite. SO we had to cancel our New Year party. Pants. And big ones at that.
