Tis the last working day before Christmas and all is quiet in the office.

Power Mad Girl has gone home for the festive season to spend time with her family and as for the others...well they just haven't bothered turning up yet!

I'd love this time of year even more if it didn't lead to increased levels of skintness brought on by excessive drinking, going out, present shopping and all the other Christmas joys as it is I return to work next Monday morning in an attempt to salvage some of my pay packet.

But I can put that to the back of my mind as tonight I am going to South Wales to see friends, family and presents!
