don't you just love Xmas!

i should be working now - but i'm just faffing about - which is how i have time to start this blog . got a new job , start in jan 2005 so until then i'm just pretending to be busy . luckily that includes lying around in a dressing gown all day , eating junk , surfing the www and working out which new company car i should pick . i know , it's a hard life , but someone's gotta do it . haven't got 1 xmas present yet - too busy , lol . anyway , just 7 more days left of work then holidays until jan 5th - yeeeeeeeh ! i'm very neutral about this time of year - don't particularly like or hate it . but a lifetime's experience tells me xmas usually involves the following -

1. trying to kop off with someone at the works xmas doo ( or vice versa ) see pics below

2. eating waaaaay too much xmas day ( check out the toilet bowl next day !)

3. feeling unwell eating dinner on xmas day because of xmas eve ( we never learn !)

4. getting crappy presents you'd never have bought yourself ( and your family's supposed to know you )

5. spending ages buying presents for "tricky" people ( aaah- it makes sense now - we're their "tricky" people !)

6. putting on 1/2 stone in less than week

7. thinking was that it ?
