Did you have a lovely Christmas?

Hiya Abi

Christmas was pretty good thanks! Loads of food (as usual) - this year we had a goose rather than turkey. Although we did have a turkey on New Years Day.

After having got the boxed set of HHG being read by Douglas for my birthday, I got the boxed set of the radio 4 dramatisations of 'Lord of the Rings' and 'The Hobbit' for Christmas.

How was yours?

Oooh goose is lovely!

I had a lovely Christmas. I was totally spoiled, ate like a horse and drank like a fish!

My best presents were an Imac, a suede scarf which is amazingly soft and warm and a heated eyelash curler! What a modern girl I am!

So what are your plans for the new year?

Heated eyelash curlers? Is there *really* a need???

Plans... I think the main one would be to find a job! Other than that, just see what happens I guess.

>Heated eyelash curlers? Is there *really* a need???

Well yes - because they make the curl last longer and they don't look like a medieval instrument of torture. Little chance of tearing your lashes out too.

So the job hunting is not going too well then?

Ah... so you'll be looking even more gorgeous at the meet then?

No, the job hunting isn't going well at all. I've got an interview on the 10th, but that's about it at the moment

I wish!

I will keep my fingers crossed for you!

(just passing - saw the forum title, couldn't resist.)

I'm preparing my Warwick post grad application forms right now...

Clive I have said it before and I will say it again! You are a man of taste and discretion!

The name's, Bond..Brooke Bond.

Did you have a nice Christmas?

fantastic thanks. got broadband installed in my bedroom and the lotr 4 disc box set on dvd.

You sound like you got some nice prezzies too.

Yes I can curl my eyelashes while editing my home movies and turning them into DVDs!

Groovy.

But not those type of home movies..!

So what are you going to do at Warwick?

I didn't say a word...(A)

oh well fingers crossed they'll have me on the MA taught course in Continental Philosophy.

I want to broaden my knowledge of this particular area so I can apply it better if/when I apply to go on a course of research.

It's all very exciting.

got used to typing smileys on the instant messengers, I meant , naturally.

Which instant messenger do you use? I take it is MSN?

OOOh Clive you are so clever!

yup.

I was using it at university between mates there and never got out of the habit. I've never been quite persauded by the AIM's and Yahoo's of this world and I couldn't get the all-purpose multi messnger thingy to install.

and flattery.....is very nice. More please.
