#socialbloggers 86 // Your Christmas
I’m actually not going to talk any more about Christmas, I’ve my previous 4 posts have been about Christmas!
In case you missed them, you can read them here:

I’m back home in Leeds now, I got quite the fright when I came back to see all the flooding in my area. My gym is under water, so I’m hoping that’s sorted soon! It doesn’t feel real until you see it yourself. I drove over a bridge as I couldn’t get up Kirkstall road and the whole thing was flooded. Cars stranded. It was like a punch in the heart seeing a place I drive through daily destroyed. I had seen the photos on the news and Twitter, but nothing could prepare me for seeing it with my own eyes.
The building on the right is my gym. I really hope it’s not too badly damaged as I’m so eager to get back to the gym this week!
Anyway, less chit chat and on with the chat questions:
Q1: How did you spend Christmas?
I spent Christmas away from the internet, with my family and lots of gin – perfect @skinnedcartree #socialbloggers

I think it has stopped now! It’s apparently going to rain a lot again over the next few days though.

My fave gift is yet to come – a new notebook computer. We preferred to wait for the sales!
Corinne
Oh I love getting new computers! Hope you enjoy it.

That’s a lot of water! December has been a crazy month for weather. I hope the water goes down soon.
Ella Pinto
I honestly hope things in Englang are looking up. I’ve been seeing the news and it’s terribly sad to see such beautiful places affected by the storms. Hopefully things are getting better. If there’s anything we can do, let us know!

Noooo, poor Leeds! I don’t have a TV so I haven’t seen the images but I’ve heard a lot about all the flooding and my husband saw it when he was up there- so terrible.
It looks like everyone here had a great Christmas- I’m intrigued by what a Softbox lighting is!?!?!
