    Hello everyone! How are you all today? I'd like to say that I haven't been online due to actually doing some work today, but it's just not true!
    Was late getting to work this morning as I over slept (ooppsss) and have managed to return one phone call to someone and that's it so far.

    I must do some work at some point today though.

    Am taking my Boyf to Petrus tonight for dinner (yummy!!)

    In our office, we've just been talking about being bored with our jobs and what would happen if we all swapped round in a sort of 'pick a job out of a hat' style - one of my colleagues said "but what if I got Redsquirrel's job, I couldn't survive on that salary" (obviously she didn't call me Squirrel lol).. I feel officially poor now!! :(

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    I think that was a pretty snidey, condescending and ignorant thing to say actually! sounds like a !!!!!! to me!

    You should have said "well I ain't exactly flush, but you're f*cking ugly, at least I can change my circumstances"
