Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

it's all over.., even the hangover has faded. But there are still some 'goodies' left at the bottom of Santa's sack...

So we return to wok all tetchy and unpleasant thanks to those ghastly detox headaches and an absence of the 30kg-aday sugar intake that's been sustaining us over the past few weeks, And as we delve into our bumper box of Christmas leftovers (somewhere behind the turkey) we find these two little freebies that, with a lithe bribery, we can almost certainly be persuaded to part with. First up is a CD featuring a selection of songs, belted out by the Solidarity Foundation Chorus.

Before you ask, it's an initiative set up by Volvo in Brazil to help disadvantaged youngsters get on in life. We haven't listened to it yet so it's in pristine nick and features 11 Brazilian favourites including Little Fishes of the Sea, Yellow Rose and, more worryingly, Sucking Ox Ifs yours for a song (ho ho).

Next out of the hat is an indispensable desk top accessory for the year ahead. Yep, it's a calendar, But it's no ordinary calendar this one's from Wincanton (cue admiring gasps). January shows a Wincanton truck on a viaduct, February the inside of a warehouse, April a barge full of containers and, our undoubted favourite, August features a man done up to the nines in safety hat, specs and what appears to be a large green condom, fiddling with some valves on his tanker. Nice. If your desk needs this sort of brightening up then drop us a line at the usual address and it could soon be sitting proudly in front of you at work. Or if needs be, on your mantelpiece. In fact, as an extra bonus well throw in a free Manheim Auctions diary in a delightful blue and grey leather-ish finish.

As well as allowing you to plan your year it features notable dates, weights • and measures, Latin in common usage and, to cap it all, a map of the world in such small scale that it's bound to become an oft-used navigational aid. You can tell there's a road between Paris and Dijon (if you strain your eyes) but as to what it is, your guess is as good as mine.
