We were supposed to be going to our friends Matt & Charlotte's in Sheffield, but the weather forecast was quite poor - snow and ice, so we decided not to go - a little disappointing I know but better safe than sorry. That meant another one at home, so we popped out to get some bits and bobs, something for tea and a few nibbles.

Keith and Jayne didn't have much to do either so they stayed in with us. We spent the evening watching some music videos on the box and then Jools Holland a bit later on. Hard to believe that it's 10 years since the millenium!

So here we are the end of another year and the end second full year of our blog. That means it's time for a change, a new look and more meaningful content! For the past two years I have posted something for each day, whether there was something of note to write about or not.

From now on that's going to change. I shall only post when there is something worth writing about, that way it doesn't become too boring and I don't have to spend what feels like all my time writing it!

Most of the people we know seem to use Facebook, but it's not something either of us feels the urge to do! I did contemplate it briefly, but it was only very brief!

So that's goodbye from him and goodbye from her!

Nikki had to get up and go to work, as she was going on the bus it meant she had to get up a bit early. It's a good job I wasn't going - there's no way I could have got up - I felt dreadful! Obviously over did it on the booze last night. I had quite a lie-in - and thankfully so did Keith and Jayne.

When I did get up I didn't feel like any breakfast so I mooched about a bit. Keith and Jayne went out so I had a bit of a lie down again. Once I'd had some lunch I felt a bit better.

We were supposed to be going out with Nick from work and his wife Liz, in the evening and I was in two minds as to whether to go or not, but Nick sent me a text asking whether we were eating out or not. I said that sounded like a good idea.

We met them in Coopers in Guiseley where Liz had booked a table. It was actually a good night and no I didn't have too much to drink! In fact it wasn't a particularly late night.

Nikki and I both were back at work today however in my case it was only for today, Nikki is back tomorrow as well.

The traffic on the way was very light as we would have expected. Not a particularly exciting day it has to be said and there weren't even that many people in. Consequently the day dragged.

Amazingly the traffic coming home was quite heavy - not sure why.

In the evening I went out with my old Air Force mate Stevie Carolan. We went to The Marsh, The Golden Lion and then The Fox and Grapes. It's no wonder that pubs are struggling for trade - the prices they charge - I mean over £6 for two pints (which is what we were charged in The Golden Lion) is just astronomical!

It was around 11:30pm when I got home, Nikki was still up as her brother Keith and his wife Jayne had arrived. I had a drink with them and then as Nikki was going to bed Jayne managed to drop a full glass of wine all over the kitchen floor. Once we'd cleaned thatup Nikki and Jayne went to bed and I stayed up with Keith for another drink.

Today we did actually get up and go to the gym! Mind you it was good to tell we hadn't been for a while, it was bloomin' hard work!

After we got back, the weather was quite pleasant so we decided to wash the cars - boy did they need it! So we got wrapped up warm again and spent a couple of hours getting them back to looking something like decent!

We had another roast turkey dinner for tea and then spent th evening watching some ski racing and other bits on the box.

It's easy to lose track of the days over Christmas as they all seem to blend into one! Considering it was a Sunday (and there was no gym - it was closed), we still had to get up quite early as Nikki's brother Neil and his wife were coming round before they headed over to Hull. We haven't seen them for a while and they stayed for just about an hour.

In the afternoon we had a visit from Nikki's dad and his wife - they'd managed to get out after being snowed in for the past three days!

Again we seemed to spend the evening watched some bits on the television.
