It was an HR conference and the tweet was something about decluttering the mind and wellbeing. Not a single hidden item to get people to google something unexpected in it at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be booze, cheese and wine. Could be any old jumble sale shite. Time will tell. Might be a written warning for using social media at work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No we have the food in - it’s a very similar scenario to the time in 2019 when all her families showed up and didn’t bring any booze and I don’t think any of us want to go through all that again. This time it’s my sons 2nd birthday celebration as well as a house warming in our new abode. Edited November 25, 2022 by throbber 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A messy world cup party being combined with a 2 year olds birthday is just good sense in the current cost of living climate. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was his bday a few weeks ago but my in laws haven’t seen him yet so it was a good excuse to get together. Also we haven’t had a house warming but been in house since April so it is very similar to the 2019 scenario which left me incredibly upset as you may remember. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 In the late 90s, a friend of a friend was having a housewarming at her new flat. Some drunken guy spewed all over her bathroom. The walls, the bath, the bog, everything. It was disgusting. Never been tempted to have a housewarming after that. Spoiler Yes. it was me. I cleaned up as best I could and just left. Never saw the friend of a friend again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cleaned up as best I could and just left. Never saw the friend of a friend again. I did this at a previous workmates house after a Christmas night out. He let me stay in their newly decorated spare room. I thought I would add a bit of colour to the new carpet, wallpaper, bed.. just everywhere. It was fuckin' stinking the next morning when I tried to clean it up. He had already left the house to go back to the pub by the time I woke up. After a pretty feeble effort, I headed out to meet him for more beers, his wife was raging. I didn't stay again.

Hedgecutter Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Finding out that your (booked last minute) €50 p/n hotel room is normally €200 p/n. That said, it is Seville, so they might have used some dodgy calculators. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
