Santa's dirty little secrets

Season's greetings Everyone!

We've been darn busy - so Penna's blue-haired stepchild has been out of sorts. But our New Year's Resolution is to make sure we keep you bang up to date with all the latest creative gossip next year.

Before we get to the weird and wonderful antics of our night out, we must first pay tribute to our very own KT (pictured on the right here, next to Anne). KT is our PA. She is our rock, our sail through stormy seas and our mum. And she's leaving us today to work closer to her home in sunny Gloucestershire. We're going to be lost without her but luckily she's left lots of notes on the fridge telling us what to do in case of an emergency. Her parting will end a 10-year working relationship with Anne and we will miss her greatly. We wish her all the best for her future.

PRC SECRET SANTA

It's that time of year for lists. List to Santa, Christmas card list, New Year resolution list, listing at the bar before falling over...

Here's our list of what everyone got in the Secret Santa this year. Stick with it to the end, there's a real doozy in there and we'll be featuring it every month next year.

Raphael - A beautiful Cath Kidston make-up bag
Blair - A compact mirror
Neil - An Adidas sponsored Porche (about 5 inches long - but an auotmatic)
KT - "1000 Places to See Before You Die"
Ondine - A pantone mug (ref:2583 C)
Heather Staff - Another pantone mug!
Mike - A book of "Weird Wills and Eccentric Last Wishes"
Heather Saunders - some lime and grapefruit scented orbs and a big tub of popcorn
Nathan - Build your own Stonehenge - which he did this morning
Brian - 'The Little Book of Chelsea' (the football club not the area on London!)
Rebecca - Yummy handmade white chocolates
JR - First Aid kit, heat pads, freeze cream, chocolate bars. Handy for the marathon

Gill - A book called "Everyone Worth Knowing"
Lex - A frog shower cap
Anne - a large glass bauble with a fairy princess whose dress changes colour. Even more magical when the lights are out.

GARY: A 2008 calendar featuring various surfing, water-skiing and wind-surfing West Highland Terriers

We'll put every month's "Wet Westie" on the blog every month so you can marvel at one of Nature's little miracles.

Secret Santa also managed to capture this strange figure at PRC's Xmas party. Do you know this man? Someone said it was Gary but I don't believe them.
