Am off from tomorrow till Jan 3rd and am more or less done with work. Have had a fabulously productive week which means as of now (10:50am GMT) I could really leave and not have to worry about anything whilst away (other than one poxy meeting I need to be here for next week). The good thing about projects in an ops based business is that NOTHING HAPPENS OVER XMAS. Woop.

Xmas plans are shaping up, going to see Tenacious D on Sunday, next week I am (planning on) decorating my living room (a mere 4 months later than planned), meeting the new in-laws on Xmas eve (I'm still saying little but am sporting a large smile), then sponging off my Sister on Xmas day and my Dad on Boxing day. Not really planned out New Years yet, but not a favourite night anyway so not too fussed. May even stay in. At some point I should probably host a small soiree dans chez Pullen but who knows.

CodeMonkey - text me if you're about for a pint (or I'll text you if I haven't heard from you).

Merekat - will assume Jan 6th is on, will PM you my mobile, perhaps you would be kind enough to text me if it gets cancelled while I'm off line or let me know if any (of my dodgy) planning required.

Happy holidays.
