I had the last of my full-fat Coke yesterday, the last mincemeat pies today (averaging at exactly 1 per day since 1 December) and I took down the decorations this afternoon and evening, packing the boxes back into storage just now. Which means, going by years past, I have between one hour and six months before I find something that belongs in those boxes.

Until next year, farewell, Christmas.

Took all my decorations down yesterday. That's an impressive amount of mince pies Andy!

That being said I sometimes watch baseball while hungover.

Most interior decorations and outside lights came down Saturday. Trees came down yesterday (12th day).

We still have a few things left - one good sized wedge of Christmas cake and a few biscuits - but I've had enough. Some things are still unopened - anything with a post Easter date has been put away. There seems to be a lot of Lindor sweets sitting around, and the Ikea ginger thins are still to be eaten but they can be consumed gradually in small amounts as ginger snap substitutes. However I will probably perform a sweep tonight and bring any bad stuff into work so the locusts can get to work on it.  It's at times like this I wish I had big hungry sons instead of bird-like daughters.

Back in work today and glad to be.

Quite some booze was KO-ed over the holiday but I'm probably level overall given what was bought and I was gifted. However I can leave drink at home and not touch it unless there is company in so that is safe to have around.
