well, i've definitely passed my self-imposed deadline for an acceptable 'contemplation' time prior to putting finger to keyboard for my first 'spontaneous' and what was obviously intended to be 'memorable' first post to the sinister world... ah well, a poor waste of a highly sought after christmas eve slot as well..jeez so will settle for a simple hello to everyone and wish you all a snowy and hopefully happy christmas... top tips for christmas day survival in no particular order: 1) insist that you are making and testing the mulled wine at 9 in the morning because it takes 'time' for it to infuse..all the herbs and stuff you know, it needs to be monitored.. 2) accept that with time, and the passing of the years, in case these are different for anyone, stocking fillers will shift from the edible chocolate variety to the electronic tooth cleaning variety.. be nice to the reindeers seeya :) ________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
