An important birthday missed

Darn, I was so busy complaining about bad coffee yesterday that I completely forgot to note Doctor Who's 42nd birthday! So, Happy Birthday to the Doctor and may there be many more adventures with you to enjoy :-)

As a nice little connection, Little Sis had a day's work on the reception of a conference for learning disabilities yesterday and guess who was there?

Yup, Christopher Eccleston.

Apparently there's some kind of family connection there. He was signing autographs, but Little Sis didn't get a break until just before he left, so she didn't manage to meet him. Aw. But hey, she saw Christopher Eccleston and he exists outside the TV box, so that's cool.

Slightly irritating news yesterday was an email from my Quaker client asking where the website has gone. Um.

( Hosting rant )

So yesterday was a mixture of the cool and the stupid. Ah, life, I love thee.

Dilemma

So I have an Amazon gift voucher that must be used by 23rd December. No problem, right?

Just spent an hour browsing and haven't made a decision. Eep!

Y'see, most of the books, DVDs and CDs that I want are things that I've already listed for Christmas and it took me ages to actually come up with that list. I kept clicking into frivolous things and then deciding that I couldn't justify them.

Can I really sacrifice time that I don't have to finally give into the lure of Sims 2?

And I'm being indecisive. 'Cos there definitely must be a ton of things that I could ask for but haven't spotted yet. So I'll limp down to town on Saturday to browse the bookshop for some inspiration.

I am crazy.

In other news, I will be off-line for most of tomorrow due to another fun day in a store. Hopefully I won't be damaged any more than I already am. Anyone who needs me will need to wait until I pick up emails or phone messages after 5pm tomorrow.
