Project:365 (Prequel #2) - Christmas Day

Christmas Day over and it was brilliant. The kids didn't wake up too early after we'd been tracking Santa all day on NORAD tracks santa. We opened most of our presnts, then Mum & Dad came round. We had beef (not turkey) this year and Dad had arranged some party games. He produced some more fireworks. Aftre the second was was discharged (at about 5:45pm) a disgruntled neighbour, who stayed in the shadows at the bottom of the garden (so we don't know who it is), became very aggressive and threatening - Happy Christmas to you too!! We had to call off the fireworks, as we felt things would turn nasty. that kind of drew the evening to a conclusion really.

The Chancers Christmas Ball

Great to see all the chancers on Saturday night, thank you to everyone that made the effort to travel from far and wide to join the first ex-Siemens-now contractors get-together. Plenty of good chit chat about Gordon Brown's announcement and how it affected different people, and also the lastest romours with the folk that are left in Coventry, both Siemens and Silvertech. As usual far too much food was consumed at the Big Wok (after eventually getting in after they lost our booking!). After another visit to a very crowded Apple store with Mark, I think I'm warming to the black MacBook more. We'll wait and see what happens after Christmas.

Christmas tree went up at the weekend, which was a great event as always. Nate is really excited this year, now that his going to pre-school he knows what is going to happen. Only one bauble casuality this year too, but we have vowed to get some new ones after the season is over. Had a great afternoon over at my Aunty Sue's, much good banter. Can't beleive that its a year since we were last over there.
