First update of 2008 - Hey, that rhymes! :P

So, Christmas was pretty good. BiL never came back, but that's his loss. The rest of us had a great time! I love seeing family at Christmas! We ended up not opening any gifts until late afternoon, there was just too much else to do! Everything did stop for 'Dr Who' though. :P Even geuzegirly made sure to get here before it started, so she couyld get some sense out of mum and I! *Grin*

New Year... well, I've never liked it much, this year was no exception. :/ Mum came with my sister and John, sister's BF. Sister critisised everything from the moment she walked through the door, as usual. Yes, my house is small. But I *like* it, so screw her snarkiness. John, who I've always found to be somewhat pretentious, was ironically the least annoying. Not sure why he was easier to get along with, but since it's looking like he'll be part of the family one day, this is a good thing!

It's only five days until my due date now! I can't wait until he's here, though I'm terrified too. I feel so clueless! Will be nice to be not pregnant again though, I just ache all the time now and really struggle to sit or lie comfortably. Not that I'm expecting a good nights sleep any time soon. ;)

Am still hoping to post a fic soon... writing is just *such* hard work at the moment. I miss it, but forcing it doesn't help! Maybe once life is a bit more settled it'll be easier. As long as the muses come back eventually I'll be ok!

And last but in absolutely NO way least - thank you to the following for the wonderful baby gifts! I really hope I haven't forgotten anyone, there has been so much sent it's rather overwhelming and very touching!
