Default Just want to get an idea of numbers
Ok - so everyone is out doing their Xmas Shopping - I should I suppose.

As this forum will inevitably slow down until New Year, I just need to know how many people will be in over the next week, so I can plan drinks etc.

I will be in till about Christmas Eve, then away to about New Year's Eve..a week's absence - even got a note from my Mum to excuse me, if you need to see it

anyone else?

I'm totally addicted to the computer, so I have no doubt I will be checking in every day, barring any more Xmas eve accidents requiring hospitalisation.

We're around! How could we possibly cope without Expats? Just thinking... who will do the online version of the Queen's Christmas speech? WWB - I'm sure you'd look good in a crown...

I will be picking up stuff as usual over Christmas, until the 29th. Then I am flying to Melbourne and will start picking up stuff in the New Year form Oz.

Sorry if I sound smug but I am delighted

No doubt I'll want to warm my bloated tum at some point over Christmas so the laptop will be on I'm sure.

WBB, I offer smile removal procedures at very reasonable rates.

This is our last Christmas as a family in the UK, so everyone's pulling the stops out ... I'm actually looking forward to a quiet Christmas in peace next year, so if you want to hop over and try a bloke's Scots accent and hide in the corner watching proceedings then I'm sure no-one would notice if I switched with you! (I'd even look after your feline buddy!)
