Its AB only so I will just buy a separate Cat H safe when the time comes. :lol:

Honestly was only going to get the 8 gun but the local gun shop had the 12 on sale for the same price a week before Xmas so I took the opportunity.

Got some $$$$ from one child. Nothing else from any other family members. Not surprised. Just the way it has been for many years.
I guess I like just spending quality time with the grandkids. That's a good enough gift in itself.

I hate getting presents just for the sake of getting presents. Would much rather they bought someone in a starving country a goat or chicken on my behalf. In laws got me gift voucher I can use towards new shoes, that is useful.

Wife and I decided not to do presents for each other this year, we are both hard to buy for-I've got interests that are specialised, and wife knows what she needs much better than I. So we just buy what we need when we need it. Plus the tight finances with me not working for 4 months

My daughter is just a jokester so gave toilet paper to my wife and the spoons and chocolate to me

The Mrs and I usually make sure we get each other something we actually want to avoid unwanted and wasteful gifts. She got me a pocket knife and I got myself a new torch :thumbsup:

Hope you all had an enjoyable day, regardless of gifts.

I have been in bed the last 2 days with a cough, a fever and I was sweating more than a weirdo in a preschool.

Might have been the flu or the China Virus but whatever it was I feel great now, back to normal and time to eat something.

I'm to old for Christmas presents.

Obviously you didn't get tested. Great way to spread the covid.

Come on mate, I haven't left the house in the last 2 days.

What would a test do anyway? Lets say it was covid and not the flu.All a doctor would say is go home and rest. I don't need a doctor to tell me to rest I can figure that out on my own.

I have been taking iodine, zinc, vitamin C, B12, magnesium and salt tablets and I feel back to normal.

Ques. A test would determine Yay or Nay and if Yay, you could then work out who you wish to infect or not,, so how do you figure that ?

Ques. How long is the infectious period ? and if you haven't left the house in the last 2 days,, do we presume you did beforehand, and if you were positive and therefore spreading a not so MERRY XMAS gift that could be akin to "attempted murder"

And, last but by no means least,,,,,,,, Yep you go ahead and take iodine, zinc, vitamin C, B12, magnesium and salt tablets and look after yourself sunshine,,,
cos you are important, and the world couldn't possibly revolve without you and f@ck everyone else.

Those ex-pats like me still remember Fred Daggs formal footwear! But whatever happened to Sherpa boots? I heard Valentines Surplus had burned down but no-one else sold Sherpa boots?

I got an RCBS case prep station from my sons - how easy does that make prepping cases.
Might get the case trimmer to suit
