The great CHRISTMAS Countdown

[Hoist]

Hey mudducks!

So did everyone have a nice Christmas with what ever time they had? Did you get what you want or any surprises? One of my surprises was one of those Amazon echo things, but I have it set up now and have to be careful what I say because we all know how these devises/Amazon/the internet/even your own phone listen in and spy on us! Usual other stuff - smelly was stuff, socks, jumper etc that kind of thing.

The biggest thing of course was being able to spend time with my family, my eldest niece has a little girl of 2 years of her own, so I have had a early nights after lots of running around after her in my sister's kitchen! Especially as she got a scooter for Christmas, it's very tiring all this running about! Both my nieces are grown up now so you for get what it's like running about after them when they're active, Jazzman Crothers might be able to relate.

Merry KissMyAss Mudda-Suckas!!

How's everybody? I hope y'all good and healthy, you and yours. My family and I are ready for gifts, egg nog and gifts. And time off work! 

I'm hoping to get some TFs under the tree as I put out some serious hints this year. If not I've already scoped out Walmart for Boxing day sales, so all is good.

If I don't drop in soon, everyone have a good one and be safe!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.


PS. Off to watch Diehard.

Were you after anything in particulat TF wise, vintage G1, masterpiece, Siege line?

Excuse you sir! I am a mudcat! XD

All jokes aside I had a great Christmas! Lots of survival stuff with what the family jokingly calls a tactical bag (small and big), fox flashlight, 2DS XL, some Switch games, Xbox 360 games, and a couple of big blankets. Among all that a couple Marvel ornaments, Black Panther and Groot, and Harry Potter ornaments, two Ron Weasleys so I just dubbed them the Weasley twins instead, a Chocolate frog squishy toy, and a wand replica which I ended up with Narcissa Malfoy’s wand. Kinda cool design actually. And a Dark Phoenix Funko POP figure.

Sadly, the day after I had to put my cat, Garfield, down since he wasn’t acting himself last week and found out he had a serious problem with his liver.

Aside from that, hope you guys had a good one!

Sorry about your cat TC.

So for my loot, I got the 35 anniversary Siege Megatron and Bluestreak. And Siege Hound and Red Alert. Reissue G1 Soundwave, Ravage, Rumble, Frenzy and Laserbeak. Not opening them as the packaging looks too good and brings back a lot of memories.

I got nothing TF related this year.

I did get a couple of expansions for the card game Munchkin.

Also, Happy/belated/early New Year to you all! (Depending on when I sent this and when you read it)

[Hoist]

Happy new year!

Also sorry about your cat TC. I'm still eyeing up Earthrise Hoist, though I would be likely to paint white bits metallic silver. Even if the white bits do give him a very G1 cartoon look.

Not long to go now, is your Christmas looking any different this year or your plans? Unfortunetly, I won't be visiting my family this year and will have to settle for a quiet Christmas at home this year.

So come on, fess up - how many mince pies have you eaten so far?!

[Jazzman Crothers]

I think the most we might do is see my in-laws as they are 5 minutes away. Besides that nothing else.

My town has raised it's restrictions and we expect for it to go higher. So it'll be a quiet Xmas fo' sure.

[Hoist]

I feel ya, I feel ya.

[Jazzman Crothers]

And now my town is headed to a lock down as with the rest of the province for a month. Not even going to see the in-laws. Knew it was coming.

Everyone stay safe!

Here in the UK we've had tiers - 1 (low) 2 (Medium threat) 3 (high) and 3 etc, early into December a tier 1 became medium and 2 became high which my town remained in by obviously was more higher risk. We then went to #3 around the middle of the month and have barely been in it for that long and now we're now in a new extreme tier #4 as alot of the #3's where. It's crazy on the facebook page for my town locals are saying my neighbouring towns are getting more rates, yet their remaining at #3 and my town with less in now tier #4. It's crazy.

Merry Chrtmas, Happy Holidays everyone! Make it a good one wherever you are in the world!

Everyone ready and prepared then?
