I've been feeling ten feet tall over the last couple of days... It's been wonderful to feel such support. Thank you so much for your comments and congratulations.
We opened our presents today because in half an hour we leave for the airport. (We're spending two days in Geneva and then transferring on Boxing Day to a ski resort for seven days.) My lovely husband has had 'my three little words' immortalised on a ring for me as my main present (see below) and I've spent the morning spontaneously bursting into tears... It's a mixture of finishing the book and remembering how those words got me through my wibbly wobbly times. I can't wait to get going on editing.
My rush to finish the first draft has saved you all from the prospect of 'the Christmas series' which is all the shiny decorations I can find in Bangkok. There were a lot. We should all be grateful they didn't get posted here.
I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year.

Have a fantastic time JJ. You have achieved so much this year. Not just because you finished the book but because you showed that devil on your shoulder just who exactly was boss.
He told you you couldn't do it. And you could. You did.
Awww, what a fabulous present!! Your Husband certainly gets 10 out of 10 on the present buying stakes!!
I'm glad you feel 10 foot tall...you should...you've worked so bloody hard it time for you to bask in the glory!
Merry Christmas to you and the whole family and I hope 2010 brings publishers and book deals galore!!
Lots of love

I just saw this wonderful post. Sorry I'm so late in both congratulating you and wishing you a most happy new year. You've closed out 2009 with a bang rather than that dreaded whimper. I can't wait to see what 2010 has in store for you. Only good things, I trust. Xoxo
Have a happy Christmas and New Year, JJ. Must have just missed you in the Alps!
Congratulations on finishing your book.
