    Right well I am well bored at work and cant wait to finish at 4pm. Going to watch christmas films tonight cos my christmas buzz is slowly dying here at the office. Mine is the only desk that is decorated. Have pink tinsel and a little christmas tree.

    Work gets in the way of all Christmas fun and festivities they arent even putting the tree up in our reception this year:(

    Think I may need to pop to the shop for some sweeties to cheer me up.

    Shevs - You always need to pop to the shop for sweeties :D I can't stand all these people that won't touch Christmas until 24th...


    ... YOU SUCKKKKK!!!

    I am mightily jealous that your bf went to see Slipknot last night. I can only go if there are disabled tickets and despite me calling straight away they had all "sold out". Yeh right.

    I am in love with Jim Root *swoon*

    sammr85 I had to wait for a Tesco delivery too. It is gutting that no-one tells you about the bingo cards but think of a whole tenner for yourself. WOOT WOOT :D

    chocolate.orange OMG talking about LMAO "more then 3 eyelashes". I could ask Paul but I always feel really cheeky asking someone for a favour especially when he is run off his feet doing Quidco and HDUK this time of year. If nothing has happened by tonight i'll fire off a PM. If I don't you will die from clicking exhaustion.

    Jammy Don't make excuses.. we all know you're a lazy cow who just hangs about the pc all day so to find out you stay in bed till [STRIKE]8.30[/STRIKE] 11am most mornings does not suprise us.

    Sarahf I was going to post about my lovely Sarah being missing today. I noticed last night but thought i'd PM you but then my PM's have that STUPID 240 second rule and OH was moaning to go to bed. BOOOOOO:rotfl: Anyway, What are you doing nice today? A big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to your little one. I bet you feel freaked out at his age. Great to see you back and better xx
