Altogether now
One more day of school, one more day of sorrow,
One more day of that ol' dump and I'll be home tomorrow.
And if the weather does what it's supposed to do, I may not even have to go in tomorrow either :clap
'Tis true! I've got slippers with a New Series Dalek on them, and if smoebody stamps on my left foot hard enough, you get to hear Nick Briggs shouting "Exterminate"! It's brilliant!
Only a half-day for me! :clap
And then, christmas shopping in the afternoon. Let's see...bubble bath for mum, hair restorer for dad, a computer drawing tablet for sis, and a cuddly pig for other sis! I'm ready for anything!
I wish I was related to you. What would you get me?
Si. :mobile
I had a pair of those last year (worn out by now though) and also a similarly-chatty lunchbox. I used to say that every time I made them speak it was another 10p for Nick Briggs!!Quote:

Have you hit the beach yet this Christmas? How's the Jingle Bell Cheer at the height of summer?
Oh today is our office Christmas - we're going around the bosses house for a BBQ. Only the weather's not looking too promising yet. I biked the bay home yesterday and it was really nice. Wellington is kind of more a harbour/bay over beach - there are beaches nearby (Eastbourne) but not managed a day there yet. The weather keeps oscilating between brilliant sunshine and rain. It only seems to rain when I've got a day off - so my vision of New Zealand as shaped by the Piano is kind of spot on so far ... ;)
I'd enjoy them. But I'd be thinking of "Fury from the Deep".

Well now you're just straying into the realms of fantasy and the impossible.
Thanks Larry - I hope you find a little bit of cheer this year. I know last year was overshadowed by the loss of your father, and it must cast a sombre shadow still this year.
Now that our building work is done, and we have the kitchen & bathroom back, we're finally starting to think about Christmas. Tomorrow morning we're off hunting for somewhere that hasn't already sold out of trees, and then it's cards and if she's really lucky, I might even think about getting Zel's present...
We're off to brave the shops in London shortly for the last of our shopping and to hear Rob Shearman read from his new book, Love Songs for the Shy and Cynical.
If anyone fancies meeting up with us, give me a shout- we're in London all day!
Si xx
thanks - it dose but it's helped by having my 5 year old nephew staying over christmas eve and day. As well as losing my dad a close friend of my mums whome she's known for 40+ years aloso died this year and the year before a cousin died and the year before that my Uncle died. I've attended 4 funerals in the last 3 years so I would just like to get through a year without having to go to any more.
I'm off out in less than an hour to my sister's for the next few days, so just wanted to pop in and wish you all a merry Christmas! :D
Have a great time Jonno!

The last preps are being made- we're breading carp, preparing a rabbit hutch for transportation to Croxley and I'll be packing away the rpesents that are being taken to various homes this Christmas shortly.
All accompanied by lovely Christmas music. Quite frankly, we're festive here!
Si xx
well all my pressies are wrapped i'm sitting next to my tree the lights are on and the i-pod downloads on my computer is currently playing rocking around the christmas tree by mel smith and kim wild.
Is it Christmas time soon?
362 days, Dave :p
Best start putting up the decorations then! :lol
The girls at work are carrying out an audit of our Christmas decorations. I told them not to put any up yet, it's only November!
Our family have already had the Polish Christmas meal - Wigilia, which we usually have on 24th December. It was brought forward this year as my Aunt and Uncle will be in Australia over Christmas.
I haven't done hardly any Christmas shopping yet! Perhaps it's time to tell everyone they're too old for presents?
How are your Christmas preparations going?
