Nay. I enjoy chocolates and ginger&cinnamon sweets - and this is the only time of the year I feel not guilty after eating them.
Also it is the only time of the year we can find Panettone and Pandoro - must jump on it!

Quote: Gawd. Three weeks of cat destroying Christmas tree. Three weeks of not being able to go to the loo in dark because of what sharp broken objects he has scattered since you went to bed... Sigh | 
Can we all cancel Xmas and move on to summer already? Please?
Thank you I needed a good laugh this morning. Has been an extremely stressful week at work. So much to get done in a little time.
Merry Christmas and hope it gets at least a little better for you.

What came first in your family?
The tradition of putting up a tree or having a cat?
When the root of the problem is truly understood, only then can the complete solution be found.

Tree then Cat. Or Cat then Tree, depends on how you look at it.
When I was a kid, we had Tree before Cat. Then I didn't have a Cat for a long time (and didn't have a Tree either). Then Herself moved in, and the Tree returned. Then the Cat arrived.
On her side, they had both Cat and Tree when Herself arrived. And she has continued the tradition of both. Despite not being able to remove a dead mouse from the carpet for no obvious reason...

Who couldn't remove the mouse? Your wife, the cat or the tree?
Of course the tree couldn't, you've basically hermetically sealed the thing to the stairs.

The cat has no problem moving mice, birds, moles, and other assorted wild(ex)life.
The wife cannot move anything "nasty" for reasons she does not feel need explanation.
The tree I suspect of plotting to attack the cat when his back is turned, and will also not transport vermin.

Well fine, if you mean having to go through several doors locked by the same system as Porton Down. Wait over half an hour to talk to a nice lady 'who can't help as much as she should be able as my Work Coach is ill' (I have a Work Coach?). I can claim expenses in travelling to interviews, but not for registration fees for agency (some agents charge you to do nothing but ask silly question?, that I did not know!)...hence the Big Issue comment!

Not seen how they are secured, but if my experiences with other government run facilities is any guide, the doors are wedged open with a rolled up newspaper...
Harwell (the Atomic Energy Research place) regularly had people just walk in, thinking it was the Rutherford labs next door, or leave by just flashing a public library card. The armed security guards seems mostly concerned with preventing the theft of stationary...
A Large Bank in London had impressive access control to the banking computers. As a contractor, there to fix a modem problem, I had to be escorted through the building. Then my escort entered a large metal cylinder which rotated to trap him. His palm prints and password were checked, then the cylinder rotated to let him out the other side.
Then he opened the little wooden door beside it and let me in. Pointed me at the modems rack and buggered off to read the paper... 
Took me twenty minutes of searching to find him after I finished, and wanted to go.

They tend to secured via bored looking 'Security Guards' as they are to secure doors to give them something to do...My experience at Porton Down was odd as the first day on site everything was locked up armed guards (MP's) looking stern. The second day there the door was wedged open, I asked why the reply was "Random Inspection". How was it random if they knew to secure every thing before hand?

I can attest to Porton Down security, having worked on a database for them.
Getting in is not dissimilar to your bank protocol, although not as high tech. Large automatic weapons replace the metal tube thingy. The biggest difference is that your escort is never allowed to leave you unattended; they either take you back to the guard or deliver to the next link in the chain.
Funny thing though, the scientist (nice chap) that I went to see always took me for a cuppa there and I swear I was unwell every time afterwards.
Of course, you know I have to kill you when you've read this - official secrets and whatnot - nothing personal.

Our cat used to topple the tree over while we were asleep most every night it was up.

There's a fine line between crazy and free spirited and it's usually a prescription.
I'm currently unsupervised, I know it freaks me out too but the possibilities are endless.
