Hello? Anybody there? Or is LJ as quiet and empty as the office today?

Have had a v. nice Christmas with family, plenty of quiet lounging by the telly mixed with family chaos, especially after the Canadian relations arrived. So many small childern in one place ;p Great to seem them all tho, and much fun was had playing with various christmas toys.

Presents this year were mostly kitchen related, and of course, books, so all good there ;)

Back at work now. So far have mostly spent the morning trying to remember what I was doing last week, and booking flights to fly awaaaaay New Years Eve. And sadly back again New Year's Day. Stupid lack of leave. Now wondering whether to book train tickets in advance or wait til I get there (in case of late flights etc).

What y'all up to out there?

Looks like my New Years plans might be cancelled due to flu (not mine, I might add), will find out tonight. Guess I'll have to invest in a large bottle of bubbly and settle down to watch a ludicrous amount of DVDs if that is the case...
