Fake xmas is a go!


Jane and Wez braved the snow the ice and terrible terrible british rail sandwiches to join the Welsh side of the family for fake xmas and new year.

Fake xmas is a Taylor famliy tradition that we like to uphold. We have xmas with our new families variously in Georgia, Kent and Rhyl and then at some point we all head for St Asaph for festive cheer, turkey and a tradtional game of Mah Jong.

This year was no exception with a lovely piece of turkey, three different stuffings, leeks and all the trimmings! We played a few gamres of UNO where I got the rules mixed up and then MAh jong with plenty of beer/wine/nog.

Today is New years eve where we're meeting all our friends and family for more drinks. I think JAnuary should be delcared as 'detox month!'

Xmas time... Mistletoe and something or other.

Yay!

Broken up for xmas which is a joy as there now a whole 4 days between me and the next time I have to wear a tie! Woo!

In other news Rage against the Machine are the xmas number one single instead of Xfactors what's face singing 'The Zzzzzzzzz.....' Thank God. When did Karaoke become the cultural lodestone that we're all meant to worship?

Sorry, not making much sense at the moment. the brain hasn't been clear for days and I've got a temper shorter than an essex girls christmas skirt at the moment. Not the best way to be writing really . If I tried writing anything at the moment it would just end up being a whole page with the single word

KNOBJOCKEY!

Repeated all the way down it.

I have done a butt load of research for writing and structure but without actually getting much written. It would be worth getting something on the page but it would need totally tearing down and starting again once I felt better.

Had the works do last week which was ace seeing everyone out of the office and meeting up with some friends that have moved on to bigger and better things.

Xmas day tomorrow! Woot! Its my favourite time to see the family and friends. And nog of course! Lets not forget the Nog!

Cheers!
