Christmas Winnings!!
Our company does a Christmas prizedraw each year, so I received an email last week telling me I had won one of these! Our computer is pretty old, and seemed to be fading fast. Some days you just had to turn it straight back off again as it couldn't even cope with starting up, so we decided that as we had a brand spanking new printer, we had better get ourselves a new computer! Its nothing amazing, just a lot newer and faster than the old one! (Ben, if you fancy my old scanner, you are welcome to it, oh, and do you have all my Fast Show DVDs?) And now we have a new computer, we might even be tempted to get broadband, you never know! I am also determined to learn to type properly, which could mean that these blog entries become more frequent, but I'm not promising anything!
In other news, the kittens are growing fast (and munching through lots of wires etc). We had a lovely Christmas and New Year. We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day at Adam's parents, and then were at my parents for the usual mad Boxing Day with all the family. The Clarkes then came back to our house for a little bit, to meet the kittens and play Singstar on the playstation, which was all good fun, even if I was rubbish at the game! I think I need a few more drinks inside me before I play that again!
New Year was spent at a friends in London. It was basically Adam's uni friends plus girlfriends. They are all really lovely people, and its really nice to be able to get everyone together every now and then. Actually there were a few noticeable absences, but it was a good evening! We managed to get to bed at about 3, but I could still hear Laura trying to rouse her boyfriend Andy and get him home (she was slapping him with all her might but it didn't seemt o be registering at all)! And I think Dan was still on the decks until about 5am. I did feel a bit sorry for the next door neighbours in the morning, when we left and I noticed a buggy outside their door!
Should have some pictures up in the next few days!
And must just say Happy 9th (eek!) Birthday to Anna, hope you have a great day honey!

Great news about the computer (new computers are always exciting to me anyway :) ).
Very eek to 9, it seems such a big number (I'm sure it wasn't that long ago really!). She loves the jacket you gave her, thank you, it's great - just the right combination of grown up but with pink highlights :)
