Aye.....

...that's what I was Thinking
@Bill.de.Cat ....full on Celebration dinner is a Lot of work when there is just the two of you.
My idea of xmas was a Lovely roast dinner with all the trimmings......

....hubbys was to go out and get pissed as a Fart..come home lash through the dinner with one eye open..then promptly fall asleep......

....
So I not only cooked the dinner....I got all the washing up/cleaning up to do aswell..........
To save Disappointment/resentment and or Murder.......

...I Stopped.
Now we have something Nice for celebration dinners......like a good steak....or prawn starters....and hubby is not allowed Out until After he has eaten it.........

..then he can get as pissed as he likes......
