Just so you folks know, I won't we making it home for Christmas. Even though I have more holiday this year than I have had for the past three (I'm counting revising for a viva as work, there), I can't really afford it. I will be back next christmas, which will be epic (even more epic than this summer was). But this year you'll just have to manage without me. Weeping into your mince pies, longing for my special brand of coronary inducing festival food. Or more likely just getting drunk and falling over a lot.

I know I'll be missing most of you terribly. Even more so than I do already.

If you fancy sending me a card in the post and you're on LJ, my address has been added to the great floating contact details post in the sky.
