Merry Xmas y'all! 
So FINALLY I get two seconds to update, whoo hoo! I guess Christmas has to be good for something
Only kidding, I love it really. In fact, I'm probably one of the most festive people I know, 'cos most people have been miserable unfestive gits this year- I've heard that amount of people go "oh, I'm not feeling very Christmassy at all" - normally as I'm driving away from them in my tinsel-laden car with two festive angels hanging from the front and a bauble dangling from the mirror as Merry Xmas (War is Over) blares from the speakers. Oh yes, I have the tackiest car in all of Flintshire. God help me if I have to attend a funeral or something as part of my daily work, 'cos I guess the car'll go down like a (glittery) lead balloon.
But apart from that? Yeah, I've been good these past two days. Being away from work and back down in Sussex has got something to do with it I guess. As has the fact I got the loveliest kokeshi doll from my boy for Christmas, plus a copy of The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy. And oodles of chocolate from my family, plus a wind up fishie that swims in the bath from one of my best mates- yay for odd pressies!!
In other news...
*Work's still stressful and I'm planning on moving back to Stoke. How I'm gonna get there I'm not sure but I need to do it for my own sanity. I'm now on antidepressants, but they seem to be helping a bit.
*But the flip side is I did meet TV's Keith Chegwin on Wednesday, as he went to present one of our locals with ten grand as part of GMTV's Doorstep Challenge. He's a very nice man in real life and his cameraman gave me some chocolate. And no, I didn't ask him about being naked on Channel 5's Naked Jungle- I have enough to contend without Keith Chegwin ringing up my news editor to complain about me
*Oh, and I've got 6 front page stories with my name on in the last 2 months, yay! Tho it's bloody surreal to say the least when you go to a shop and see your name on the front of a newspaper in somebody's shopping trolley and know they're about to read your words
*I have a delightfully large Christmas bell hanging from my ear as I write this, thanx to the kindness of a nice doorman at Brighton's Pav Tav. It jingles when I shake my head. And no, I'm not sick of it yet. Not even after 2 days.
*I met the delightful Caramel at the beginning of the month and we had an amazing Chinese meal, thanx lady! Oh and I saw mrATOMIC 's art exhibition in Covent Garden- a riot of colour and fun!
*Got to go to Amsterdam last month- there's nothing like getting the fuck out of dodge on an aeroplane. It was a fab two days of neon red lights, space tea and almost getting killed by cyclists. Oh, and I even got to see a highbrow art museum as well as a fucking huge sex museum with manequins dressed as flashers.
Anyways, apologies for the late update, and I hope yr all having a fabulous festive season! C ya in the queue for turkey leftovers.

I did manage to recover things without TOO much trouble. Of course my "only work on this project today" mandate sank like a stone in the middle of the afternoon but hey, it's all good.
Tomorrow should be fun tho
