I hope you all had a good Christmas and Santa was charming and the family was good to you and so on and so forth. Christmas came in a big whoosh this year and none of us were quite ready for it. Hence, no one was very excited. Plus, lots of people seemed to be ill with colds and flus and headaches this year. Too much partying through December I expect. (Yes Grandma, that includes you!)
Clare and I are now in the new flat and the boxes are slowly depleting. Andy and Fenella came over last night and cooed over the high ceilings and period features, which was nice, because I've sort of forgotten about them already and am just looking at all the things we need to do to the place, and thinking how much it will all cost! Plus the phone Does Not Work (it won't get fixed by doing line tests BT, I know your computer says it looks fine), and we need broadband! Urgently!!
I'm back at work and so far it's very quiet (I don't like to tempt fate) and the place seems to have become overrun with Little People. Our postie has just come out of the lift with a small flock behind him. Aw. Looks like all the mummies have had quite enough and despatched the kids to work so they can have a well-earned rest! That or they've gone to the sales....
So what did you get for Xmas? Amongst other things I got:
A book on how to shoot straight
A nightie from mum (in the same style that I got for her - we match!)
A pink alarm clock that says 'so many men, so little time' on it
A black and white spotty cake tin
Chocolates.
Oh oh oh - did you see the Vicar of Dibley on Xmas day? With the gorgeous Richard Armitage in it? Mum and I were so jealous of all those snogs Dawn French scripted in we were spitting feathers. Brilliantly funny though, so perhaps we will let her off. Just a little. *:)

Sandwich suggestion - no bread again... slices of cheese slathered with your favourite chutney. Mine's called Anathoth Apricot Chutney. I got it for Christmas the year before and it still tastes great. I obviously don't use it very often. However, I've rediscovered it hiding in my fridge and it's divine as a pizza base too. However, what I got for Christmas was a pink umbrella thingy for putting over stuff on the table so flies can't land on the food; a home made art work consisting of lots of bits from a blokes shed all stuck on a board and spraypainted gold; a book voucher which I'm savouring and a book about the 50 events which have had an impact on life as we know it.
