Happy New Year!

Hmm, maybe I won't post Long December again this year. Even though it plays in my head. Maybe this year will be better than the last... but still, I'm in a far more level frame of mind than I was then. Yaysies.

I'm staying in tonight. The man is giggin, was gonna go, and bring the kids to stay in the hotel, but it's all booked up, and well... I have the getting-dressed-up-and-going-out fear all of a sudden. So the sofa calls. I've too much work not to stress about that anyway. Hmm, yes, I'd like to go out and kiss all the pretty young folk, but, ah feck it. There's always next year.

So it'll be Jools Holland and a pile of corrections for me, and hopefully no sobbing this year. Hurray!

I have the usual resolutions, which I will post in a week once I've done with my most recent failed resolution of not doing my work in a manic panic rush.

What are my standbys?
 Oh yes. Just do it. And Shut the Fuck Up. I'm still working on those.

I will leave you with this far more eloquent and emotional expression of new year hope. damn, I linked wrong before. Fixed now.

Someone make a wish for me.

I'm wishing for health for you and your family.

If you have health, you have everything :-)

Happy New Year, Jo.

Oh and I wish for you to have lots of ideas for new recipes for cakes. Eventually you'll come up with an idea for a shock-proof cake that'll make it in one piece to Poland :-)

Hmm. I might have just the thing, really. Let's wait til your wife is able to eat fat and sugar again, and then we'll experiment with packaging :)

Happy New Year Jo. We had a snowball fight with our neighbours until 2.30 am. Madness, and so much fun!
