    OH and I didn't go to my work christmas doo in the end despite them making me pay for OH even though we cancelled 2 weeks early, the very idea of spending an evening making nice with people i really didn't want to make nice with didn't inspire at all, and the fact that OH had threatened to knock line managers block off if he said anything out of order :eek: i thought it best to stay away!!:D

    Thats the nicest thing I have heard you say about your OH. Its a pity you couldn't afford to go so he could have carried it out. :cool:

    Well guys, I am sat here on my first night home alone of three while Oh goes to his consecutive christmas doo's. feeling a bit in the dumps to be honest, I wanna play!!!! :o
    But here is the plan to keep me cheery. I have a bottle of incredibly dodgy rose wine in the fridge and am popping to canary wharf to see my old work buddies then on to bluewater (get paid tomorrow thus christmas shopping!) so this is the plan for the evening, ;)

    Sit here and do some work so i don't feel so guilty about sneaking off tomorrow. :o
    Open said bottle of vino and attack the housework big stylee while listening to cheesy christmas songs on music tv. :D
    By the way, has anyone any idea why classic FM TV has been removed from the sky music channels? call me sad, call me mad that at my delicate age(ish) I love listening to classical music! but it has gone, total, finito and i've no idea why, and all those chrimbo carols and concerts are being denied me GAAAHHHHH!!!!:eek: :rotfl:

    right come on P back to work for half hour then FUNTIME!!!!:D

    I'm intrigued to know how he'll manage on £4 too!

    Hope you enjoyed your wine and had a nice evening, I've had a couple of glasses of my bottle from work, and another couple with OH in the pub :) Should probably go to bed now and hope for no more 4.30am awakenings!

    Nighty night xx

    It was a pain in the bot end...



    I liked the stove - nothing like watching real flames. This one has a gas fire that's neither use nor ornament. Burning yourself is an occupational hazard - but nothing to worry about.


    I know what you mean Z, I love wood burners, really cozy and lovely, and I love the smell to. ;)

    Just saw this and thought of you straight away. Something to apply for next Christmas perhaps:confused:

    "Elves

    It’s not top of many people’s dream jobs, but a new academy has opened in Finland to train Santa’s elves. This is a genuine story. Finland claims ownership of the home of the “real” Father Christmas, and now you can apply to work sorting letters, working with tourists, and packing gifts. However, it’s no walk in the park. To graduate as an elf with an official certificate, you need to learn survival skills, be hot on customer service and story telling, be competent in languages, and have a good knowledge of wildlife.
    Jobs in the elf industry are strongly contested, with Lapland having a higher than average rate of unemployment, and a local economy that relies heavily on Santa related tourism. Around 500,000 tourists visit the area every year which has average winter temperatures of minus 10 to minus 15 degrees Celsius.
    The elves are also trained in how to deflect difficult questions about Santa and inconsistencies in his legend. One piece of information you might not know which comes straight from the elf’s mouth is that the reason the elves working in Lapland are actually quite tall rather than little people is that they have to be able to see above the plentiful snow. I admit I didn’t know that, although now I do, it makes perfect sense.
    If that sounds like your dream job, send your application in to Lapland and good luck".

    Sorry to hi-jack your diary Pania by leaving messages for someone else on it!
    I hope you are OK yourself today. It's lovely that you had some quality time with DP the other day. It's obvious how much you love him.

    take care

  • Hi Pania, hows things? I'm away to my bed before I freeze!! I think I will treat myself to an outdoor thermometer so I can be accurate when boasting how cold it is. It must be minus 6 or 7!! xx
