Went out for a few beers with Dan and Mark last night. Not that I went on the "official" Christmas do, but I bet last night was better!! Its something that we should definitely do more often. Ended up taking in a curry at Balti Tower too (long, long time since I'd been there - but glad to see they still had my favourite Spinach, Mushroom & Potato Balti). Stuffed my self stupid (as always no moderation), and was going to walk home, but Dan & Mark persuaded me to take a can (and I'm glad they did 'cos it was really cold!)

Brrrrrr!
Not blogged for a while, mainly cos we've been so busy getting ready for the holidays, but I think we're there now. On the wind down at work this week (its only a half week). This morning was definitely the first taste of winter (-5).
Went to the coal yard at the weekend to stock up on fuel for the fire over the christmas time.
Had some trouble with Florence's christmas present too - they'd changed the design of the bike, we'd ordered, so we had to get an older model (which is loads better than the new one).
Most people sitting in their coats at the office today, cos the heating isn't very good. Fingers are freezing.
Out for a beer later with "the good uns" which I'm looking forward too - Curry too hopefully!

How weird is this...
...today Tasha was in some shop and she dropped something. When she bent down to pick it up she noticed another woman with a pushchair close by, and when she stood up again it was her best friend from secondary school that she hasn't seen since she was sixteen.
They get chatting and it turns out that she still lives locally, in Hatton (just down the road). Tasha says "oh, I know Hatton quiet well cos Phil's Mum & Dad used to live there - where is it that you live".
THEY ONLY LIVE IN MY MUM'S OLD HOUSE!!!!

Relapse
Florence took a relapse last night and started puking again. Took a few test shots with the new camera phone, not bad. It seems that a few more people are in the office today (thankfully beardy isn't one of them!)

What a few days!
Its been a nightmare last few days for me. Firstly Florence came done with something on Saturday evening, and was basically throwing up about every hour until yesterday morning. She was just shattered and complaining that everywahere ached when she went to bed last night. Horrible to see her little body racking when she was being sick. Still she must have been feeling a little better last night cos she managed to start bossing Nate about again!!
Went to the Bullring yesterday for some good retail therapy and to try and do some Christmas shopping. Its so vast that I spent teh first half hour just wandering round, not knowing where to start!! So I took myself off to Borders, bought a few books, and had a hot choc. I then felf in a position to hit Selfridges. After the food hall, I got a bit delirious, and it was only only the train on the way home that I realised I'd forgotten to check out the Apple Store (sorry Mark). Still I bought so much that by lunchtime my shoulders where in real pain. Stopped at Bella Pasta, and when I came to pick up all the bags, knew that it was time to get the train.
Felt good using public transport for the whole day too.

General web musings
Working mainly from home this week, and by the sounds of it made the right decision. The mood in the office, hasn't improved AT ALL. Also the GRAIN team on site testing aren't in a great frame of mind, now that the new "technical advisor" has arrived.
Trawling the web last night, came up with a new Flickr client "1001", which not only allows you to upload you photos but will alos tell you when new photos from your contacts or favourite tags arrive. The link is in my furl list -->
Check out my new 2nd pad (I wish)
The new iPod photo seems a good idea too!
Just received our post, and theres a wine offer from TESCO. Its for some Grange 1997 (which you shouldn't drink until 2007), it has "..a sumptuous, dark chocolate and blackberry aroma.." and unfortunately a £106/bottle price tag!!!!!
