Christmas

Ok, we have finally taken the bull by the horns and booked our flights to Sweden for Christmas. It took me absolutely forever to book the tickets. Couldn't decide when I wanted to go, with which company, or whether I should travel back with Tim or not. In the one hour I spent on British Airway's booking page, the prize of a one way ticket went from £61, to 29, back to 61, to 93, back to 29, then 61, then 165 and finally 61 again! I gave up on them!

But as it will probably be the last Christmas I ever have when I can take as much time off as I want (now, that's a depressing thought) I'm making it a long one. Will fly out to "Stockholm" (with cheapo Ryanair, thus Västerås) on the 12th and back to England on the 4th of January - so New Year's in Stockholm as well. I am so looking forward to it - help out with Christmas preparations, work a little bit (new exciting research at the Royal Library - no thesis!) and have plenty of time to see everyone. Feel a little bit bad about Christmas, because Tim and I are on a very strict budget, but have decided I can't walk around feeling anxious about that all the time. Denial, it's a great thing! This year I am really going to enjoy the holidays!
