Yesterday afternoon was my work's Christmas party. The food was nice and I had a few drinks (but not too many). I also managed to get home at pretty much the time I normally would. However, I was extremely tired! I had just about enough energy to walk the dog and eat some takeaway food … Continue reading Christmas Party And The Morning After…
