Feeling more festive

perhaps the fact that I’m not due back in the office til next year is a contributory factor 😉

Do have several days of work to do, but was pleasantly surprised to discover my boss is assuming that I’m doing them from home. Wouldn’t want to disappoint! And I discovered today that one of the forms I wrote up for use internally in incident reporting has actually been promoted and sent out to clients, so it would appear that I *am* making a small difference. And we got our corporate christmas card, stuffed full of gift vouchers. If it wasn’t for the having to work bit, it was really quite a pleasant day 😀

Driving is so much easier as well when there is noone else on the roads. All those ppl with schoolchildren 😆 Still home late, but that was because I stayed back to finish something off. Do like to show willing 😉

Home eventually to children who appeared to find Rupert more interesting than mummy. Hm. Big has completed our christmas card pile, so some of them are going to be late, but they will all get posted. Hopefully the ones that went yesterday will get there in time 😳

They had a long relaxing bath tonight, seemed to need it. Then Small ran into the bedroom to play with “barbie” who was in the (signed) house. I did manage to persuade him to say ‘ouse’ quite clearly once, but that was my lot, he wasn’t going to repeat it. The other night he was saying ‘hat’ very clearly, so it looks like the ‘h’ sound is being added to the repertoire atm.

Right, I’m absolutely knackered, and I have already set up a new website this evening 😉 Got to keep my hand in with all these new technologies!

Lots to do tomorrow. See you all then.
