I was beginning to wonder

I was starting to get a little sad that we had received several Christmas Cards from Martin's family and friends and none from my own. But then today I received several cards and even a Christmas package! This made me very happy which is no small feat as I am lying in bed with the worst cold I think I have ever had. I thought earlier today I was feeling better but no, I am not. I hope it goes away soon! I have a fridge full of bon bons waiting to be coated in chocolate!

Today was also made better by a job offer! I have been offered a role at an investment bank and I am pleased to say I have accepted. It is very similar to the role I had at Credit Suisse and I am very excited. A wonderful way to start the new year. Now I have to tell the BL which makes me a little sad as they have also offered me a wonderful opportunity. I just think though this other role suits me better. We'll worry about that in the New Year.
