Am having a bit of a madpanicarrrghhh at the moment after a colleague pointed out that Christmas was in a fortnight. Please could someone explain how that happened? I have all but a few of my cards still to write (takes an age because I write notes or letters in each), parcels to post (and wrap/package), all my presents to wrap, Yuletide to tie ( Read more... )
