Driving home for Christmas? I’ll be driving everywhere!
The chilly winter weather has left me daydreaming about an exotic holiday in the Caribbean or another equally hot location. However, upcoming Christmas plans mean that my icy cold hands are definitely not going to be leaving the UK at any point over the next month.
In fact, the only will travelling I’ll be doing in the near future will be in my car. Unfortunately I don’t think my car heaters are likely to emulate the temperatures of the tropics though!
Apparently my driving skills are in high demand over the Christmas period as there seems to be no end to the list of trips I need to make.
Firstly I need to drive to an outlet village in the hope that I’ll save some money by finding cut-price luxury goods to give to my closest friends and family. Next I’ll have to face the monster task of fitting a 6ft Christmas tree from the local gardening centre into my little car.
Closer to the date I have a pantomime to see, girly meets to get to and I have already agreed to attend a school nativity play in which my niece has the starring role of Mary.
Not to forget Christmas day itself! I’ve been given the task of picking up various family members who are scattered around the area for a traditional family Christmas at my parent’s house.
Hopefully my saintly act of driving everyone around will get me out of any other festive duties – all that washing up should definitely be reserved for somebody who hasn’t learned to drive yet!

Super Santa Ski Jump!
As well as the bounty of cakes, chocolates and mince pies, Christmas time in the office brings with it a whole host of free Christmas downloadable games which wing their way round the company.
Every year the theme of the games change just slightly- and new and even more quirky Christmas related gaming is invented.
Last year the most popular in the office was a snowball throwing game with the aim of taking out as many penguins that filled the scene as possible. This year however, the latest game that is set to take the CoverGirl office by storm is 'Super Santa Ski Jump' which involves helping Santa impress the judges by collecting as many stars as possible as he completes his ski run.
While it's possibly not the most advanced game (collecting the necessary stars simply involves pressing the space bar), it is strangely addictive and offers some light relief from the search for women's car insurance. So give it a go yourself.
