Christmas feeling

December 22nd, 2006 at 12:12 pm

I have that 'happy Christmas feeling' today, even the bank applying the quarterly interest of $2,415 to my mortgage account hasn't got me down - (I knew it was coming) interest is accrued daily and applied quarterly. I tend to take a complete break from any computer related equipment over the Christmas, so I'll be back in 2007. Until then...

Have a safe and happy Christmas, and wishing you all a most prosperous 2007.
