OMG...a photo of you at last...it's cool to have a face to go with the name and what beauuutiful hair :o)
Hope you had a good xmas and here's wishing you a very happy new year :o)
Good gracious, Christmas is a long and tiring day to begin with, but to be up that early with a cold - I hope you survived!
Merry Christmas Zippy! (and welcome back!)
Gemmak - good lord lovey, where have you been? I've been posting photos for ages...don't tell me you missed the classic dancing Christmas elves from December 22nd? (slaps forehead)
Jay - I survived, but barely. Been sick as a dog all over Christmas - to be totally blunt it amazes me that one body can produce such vast volumes of snot at any one given time. TMI? ;-)
