With our Xmas buffet and the Secret Santa at work over and done with (I got some nice toiletries from my Secret Santa, which was far more desirable and a lot less embarrassing than the Ann Summers nipple tassles that one of the girls got as a present...and yes, she did give us a twirl, fully clothed of course!), have a nice long weekend to relax, and then I'm back in the office next week.

Ventured into Manchester City Centre today briefly and strangely, it wasn't as busy as I thought it would be - perhaps most of the people of Manchester haven't left all their shopping til the last minute. Although there could be a mad rush tomorrow?
Anyway, around this time last year, I bought my pink mobile phone. I didn't think I would want to upgrade it but a year later, I couldn't resist so I now have a very nice Motorola Krzr K1. Bigger memory, better camera, screen is smaller but sharper, and not as ubiquitous as the Razr. Shame I lost a lot of my archived texts when I transferred the sim card - could have done with being warned beforehand that that would happen.
Well, the day is fast approaching - I hope it will be Ho Ho Ho and not Boo Hoo Hoo...bah humbug!
Ooh, the luxury of going to the Trafford Centre - haven't been there in, oh, five years? How's it going on then? Still have the Corgi shop on bottom floor from the Peel Avenue / McDonald's end? Or have they gone already?
