Post Christmas

It's been a busy week, seeing family and friends and watching TV and eating and drinking (mostly). Also done some online shopping. Bought a digital camera to replace our compact that went wrong, this was our present to ourselves - we had a small budget for gifts between us before Christmas, knowing that we'd want to hit the sales post Christmas. Despite the small budget I did quite well getting a good reaction from my wife on the things I got for her. I got some nice things too, one I'm looking forward to is a coffee mug I have to paint. Santa was good to the children this year, although the noise of electronic beeps and whistles has almost driven me insane! We've a shed load of Christmas crackers still to pull, I don't understand how we could have got so many. The Christmas tree went down yesterday, which I think is a little early, and our living room now looks spacious and bare! In a way though, I'm glad it's all sort of nearly over. I'm not glad though about having to go back to work later next week, nevermind though at least I have a few more days. We also have to try and organise buying a car - a process I hate having to go through but a necessary one.
