All week Annabel has been attempting to make people happy at Christmas by making other people happy. That might not make sense when you read it though, but if you listen to this you'll understand. She also reads letters from her All Star Postbag, with correspondence from Nigel Farage, Queen, and Pope.

The Annabel Portcast- 4th Dec

Annabel is going great guns with her assignment to make a sequel to Love Actually. Is "Going great guns" the right phrase even? I'm not sure, I basically mean she's doing really well at it.
