Ha ha would not bother me if I was - wish someone would explain this christmas bit to me because as I get older the more I really dont get it at all !
All I see is people rushing around getting stressed and annoyed with everyone trying to buy presents that the majority of people dont really need, and getting worried about a average meal for lunch time !
Ok know I'm going to be classed as scrouge / anti xmas / not getting into the spirit of it - but just dont get it !

and our boss has just turned up too

We asked if we could finish early, like 12-12.30 he said no as that is unfair on all those who have booked the day off (more fool them then I said )

I think we may be finishing at 3pm

Working as well, we were due to finish around 3 pm but my manager is the only senior guy in so he decided we should all go home at 12:30pm today

Right now playing speed chess with a russian work colleague - I have never played before lol

I am also in the office, although to say I'm "working" would be a little loose!!!

Just nipped down to local dealer to get a Forester Pocket as I'll be popping in by a few places in town later to see about a new headunit to play my new iPod which I'll be getting for christmas!!
So really just checking out different specs online for headunits!!
