Stilton: Sorry about the snowball, it was thrown with affection (if that's possible...).
Well done on your dissertation, its nice that all of your effort has been rewarded. :-) And Holy Grail as a celebration! That's a great film. I could watch Monty Python all day. I have Life of Brian put aside as one of my Christmas films - it seems very fitting at this time of year. I can already feel the quotes searching for a way out...!
I'm doing well. :-) I think I'll get stuck into some Christmas organizing a bit later - talking with DD has got me feeling even more festive and, until I get something substantial done, somewhat nervous... In the past when I've left things until too late its felt like being chased by goblin hoards (or similar). :-0
Yeah, right. ;) *throws snowball at Stilton*
Haha, yes! I'm looking forward to experiencing it in the cinema, as it's one of my favorites. Life of Brian is excellent as well, I think I still have a dvd of that lying around somewhere. :D
Well, christmas organizing is not too bad. You can get into that nice holiday mood. ;) I've got a very simple christmas planned for this year, I'll be staying over with a friend.
Empress_Owl: Yes ! some colorful modeling clay + a doctor case for one of my nephews, and 2 little guns with foam bullets for my son (which could make some people feel weird, considering the circumstances, but... well. I don't want my kids to have to stop 'being kids' because of that... so... adults should better make allowances...) :)
Plus, I got two 25 euros discount tickets, that I must use next week and the week after, so I'll go back for further purchases...
Seems like you got some good presents. And yeah, children should be allowed be children. As long as the toys are safe I don't think it's any problem. ;) I remember I used to do sword fights with tree branches as a child, and this is not really much different.
Good luck on that future spending! I might buy myself some jewelry tonight as I still have a voucher worth eight euros.
ddickinson: Well, in that case. *joins in with Fearful's happy dance* :-)
*super awesome happy dance with DD*
