Merry Christmas fraser, hope you have a great time. I'm off to Penang in Malasia Christmas Eve for 2 weeks so goodness only knows what we will be having for dinner - possibly noodles me thinks Will make sure whatever it is, it will be washed down with a few

Thanks, will keep that in mind. Haven't been before so any tips for good restaurants, shopping etc, etc would be greatly appreciated. We love Indian food so looking forward to a few trips to Little India. We were going to Bali, booked on the Friday, bombs went off on the Saturday and we changed plans on the Monday!

If we can peel the kids off the trampoline santa is bringing them, then we'll be going to friends for a seafood lunch and turkey dinner later (when it's a bit cooler!!!). There'll be 13 of us - 6 adults and 7 kids, so should be lotsa fun!!!

Merry xmas.

Not going to miss the UK at all. Even when we were living there we used to always try and book a holiday abroad in a hot country! So now our dreams are realised. Its currently 7pm, the lightning show is beginning over Brisbane, and its hot hot hot! Sitting on the verandah with a glass of wine, on my PC, listening to the noisy cicades, and watching the flying foxes, waiting for the downpour.......ah bliss......roll on Xmas!

You lucky buggers!!!!

I'm working 7-1 so, will have to get the kids up to open their pressies before I leave for work. Will be putting the Turkey in before I go and doing the dinner when I get home.

Will probably have a few drinks on the afternoon but not too many as I am working boxing Day as well

Will be thinking of you all with your sun, wine and seafood
