why am i always ill when it's the holidays?

I'm still here! Last weekend was spent down in Oxfordshire seeing my brother in his very cold house. I got very drunk and had a very good night.

This week is the start of my Christmas holiday (last day of work was Friday) and I'm very much enjoying doing nothing, apart from the fact that last night I started with a bastard of a sore throat and I'm rather suspicious that it's tonsillitis again. Poo. I don't enjoy waking up at five in the morning feeling like someone's put velcro in my throat.

I've pretty much finished my Christmas shopping. Now I just need to wrap everything up and I love doing that even though it takes me hours.

I've been very absent from LJ this week and I'm very behind with everything. Thanks to those who sent me a card! :) I hope mine arrive vaguely around Christmas!
