I seem to be behind on talking about Christmas and what I got. I drove home the morning of Christmas Day and I wish the roads were always that empty. Although there were still idiots about and people who'd get up my arse before overtaking despite there being no other cars on the road. But at least there were no lorries, so I think I overtook two people and one of them was the one time I needed to get out of the left lane anyway.

I wish the roads were always that quiet.

Pretty much all the Christmas TV was on Christmas Day, so we had to tape Blackadder (which we still haven't watched) and have a late dinner to fit it round Doctor Who, which was good, I liked it, although the Confidential (which we also had to tape) told us why the boy never said anything - he had such a Welsh accent we nearly couldn't understand him and Welsh accents are usually ok. (No one spoil anything in the comments cos the Aussies haven't seen it yet).

So presents were also late and I got:
SJA on DVD
Outnumbered series 1 on DVD (which we're working our way through)
A couple of books I found I wanted when we went to Blackwells in August and hadn't got round to buying yet
Socks (I can't be bothered to buy socks)
A Doctor Who 1000 piece puzzle (which we haven't made yet)
A disabled Dalek (its eyestalk is held on with sellotape - also it isn't pink)

I did well out of my work secret santa too as they got me a signed Graham Cole (Tony Stamp) cast card, which was either well researched or lucky since I don't recognise most of The Bill cast any more, and a pack with a little K9 and a very heavy, little TARDIS with a Fourth Doctor who has a face that makes him look like a girl. The latter are at work because I don't have to dust there.

From Avon I got a bunny calendar, which might mean next year has 12 months of November.

Today me and my sister went into town for a few bits. Work always gives us a £15 Smiths voucher at Christmas, so I got Battlefield on DVD for 92p. It was hideously busy, though, and we amused ourselves by guessing which shop might go under next (we reckon Smiths, QS and French Connection).
