Yes I know I'm a day early, but I'm off to my mum's later until Boxing Day, land of no internet and barely any phone signal. Hope everyone has a good Christmas! xx

...I just watched all of Doctor Who convinced that was Miranda Richardson. I fail at actress recognition so badly.

In other news, the lunch went well, thanks. Turkey, potatoes, sprouts, parsnips, bread sauce, sausagemeat stuffing, gravy, yorkshire puds, broccoli, sausages, carrots, onions, chesnuts. All ready at the same time and all of it edible. *wins* *collapses with exhaustion*

Huge thank you to thinkpink20 for the TG calendar and sacred_sarcasm for the lovely notebook! Amongst my other haul I also got The Big Book Of Top Gear from m'colleague C. (plus a bottle of gin and a huge box of malteasers - she knows me so well LOL), a Stig keyring, and the second series of Oz n James on dvd. And enough chocolate to open a chocolate shop. (Serioulsy. The biggest box of chocolates you have ever seen from The Manager.)

Right, next up: Wallace and Gromit. Hope everyone's having a lovely day.

Thank you beckstar2 for the lovely card! And yes, I promise not to slash the choir boys LOL. Although my first thought was "ooh, choir boy!James" LOL.

No more work till Monday, yippee! Although I confess I've done sod all for the last two days anyway. And! I was allowed time off work this morning to go and do my Christmas shopping, LOL. I have a list of final things to acomplish tomorrow (ice the cake, make mince pies, finish the present shopping, wrap shit up), and then I can hopefully relax and enjoy stuff!

I popped into Sainsburys on the way back from work, and picked up a few odds and sods and a bottle of wine. The cashier looked at it incredulously and said "Just the one? You normally have plenty! Must have some at home, yes?" *dies laughing* - d'y'think I drink too much...?

Eeee! Thank you anazri for the glitteryest card evah! I now have a glittery!bed LOL. (and cat, and hands, and - LOL)

And to sacred_sarcasm for an awesome card and also shiny!present!yayz! (I may have actually said 'ZOMG' to the cat *sporfles*)

The Holly and the Ivy is one of my favourite carols for various reasons, despite the fact I can only ever remember about 2 lines of it. It's in The Children of Greene Knowe, which is always something to re-watch at Christmas, and Sweet Singing In The Choir was a short story in my favorite book of fantasy stores when I was little. Oh yeah, and it's incredibly pagan LOL. So imagining James singing it makes me spaz happily. I fully intended to download the one he recommended, but in the end I preferred the arrangement of the St Paul's one, sorry James LOL

In other news:

Thank you beckstar2 for your card!

And last but definitely by no means least I HAZ A CERI BOOK! Arrived this morning, An Anatomy Of Chester, short-short stories, including one by our very own thinkpink20! Which is, obviously, feckin' amazing.
