christmas is a'coming

the usual mad dash to blighty is about to take off. the boot is packed already with the minimum of cursing and my bag is halfway there. the cats haven't sussed it yet but will be cross in the morning, no doubt, as they get pitched out into the cold until let back in by the helpful sian! i've shopped til i've nearly dropped and hope that i haven't forgotten anyone or anything. of course, the car will be filled with more goodies on the return journey next week but until then i'm off to find some more dosh! :)
