#DuvetKnowItsChristmas It’s the living room sofa for the prodigal son. There is a duvet though

Unbelievably, #DuvetKnowItsChristmas generates such good will on social media that over the years we've raised somewhere approaching a quarter of a million quid for homeless charities. If you can spare a bob or two, sling some to Centrepoint, and here's the link: www.gofundme.com/f/duvet-know...

This is the 15th year of #DuvetKnowItsChristmas, which is preposterous. Rules: if you find yourself dealing with unusual / claustrophobic / gaudy sleeping arrangements this Christmas Eve, share a picture with the world. Use the hashtag (with capitalisation) and cc me if you can be bothered.

Ocado have been. Only one substitution and no missing items. Phew

A fun little addition to my #AChristmasCarol list today

Quite enjoying a bit of ballet for today’s #AChristmasCarol with possibly the scariest ghost of Christmas future I’ve seen

Too exhausted to do anything but watch the Roomba meandering about. It doesn’t seem to take a very efficient route

This is so clever

A reminder in advance of everyone descending upon their relatives next week: the best thing about Old Twitter — @rhodri.biz #DuvetKnowItsChristmas — has moved to Bluesky. Post & hashtag your pics of having to sleep in the bathtub/beside the ironing/with the dog, and raise money for the homeless ♥️

My Nan used to get a McVitie’s Tunis cake every year. It wasn’t a “Christmas cake”, but Christmas wasn’t the same without it. I could only get the Sainsbury’s version this year, which is not quite as flashy as in the old days. Tesco’s version is closer to the original, but not available near me

Well that was a ride!

97% OF PEOPLE: 'No Torment Nexus please.' 3% OF PEOPLE WHO ALSO HAPPEN TO BE PART OF TORMENT NEXUS PLC: 'Torment Nexus is good.' POLITICIAN: 'It's so difficult to know what people really want.'

How can a house be filled with so much dust ALL THE TIME???

My #AChristmasCarol watching continues with this strange operatic version

Today’s delve in the back of the wardrobe turned up a pair of silver jeans, worn once, a couple of years ago. They work fine for lounging around the house #WearWhatYouLike #WearYheSparklyThings

These were all so mythical I’d never heard of any of them

“We are targeting Venezuela because of DRUGS, not OIL, which is why we are blowing up boats without any drugs and stealing a tanker full of oil.”

Slow cooker deployed. I have put potatoes in at the beginning with the meat and vegetables. Hope they don’t go soggy #LazyCooking
