    To be frugal, you need to spend money wisely, simply spending less is not enough.
    If you can't handle me at my worst then you don't deserve me at my best...
    Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I will try again tomorrow.

    Time to add another bathroom on then :D:p:p

    I'm working from home today AND the house is finally warm, so hope to get some superficial flying done and get to the post office for travel insurance.

    Some cheeky sod in Oz is trying to book a 150 page contract review plus written comments into 30 minutes to day 'because it's urgent and that's the only availability in your calendar...'. Good thing I checked by blackberry before his bedtime or I'd have been stuck with it!

    Better find some breakfast and put some laundry on...
