Helloo? Is there anyone still out there?

I hope so, because now that a certain bill has been payed, I am now back online, and hopefully for long enough to catch up on all my belated 'thank you' emails and 'festive wishes' &c.
Please note, if you haven't heard from me and were expecting to, I haven't been ignoring you it's because I've been totally skint again, although this time I did manage to stock up on food and squirrel some money on the gas and electric so I wasn't cold and hungry.
Which was nice.

So there you are. I have yet to check my emails to see if anybody managed to get them all correct, but if you even managed to get half of them right, well doned, and I hope you enjoyed the quiz.

And now, if anybody wants me I will be ploughing through mail** and trying desperately to catch up on my Flickr and other things before I don't have any friends left at all.

By the way, how are you all, and did you have a wonderful Christmas or not?
