    Our company policy is that we don't...but we are Head Office and we do as we wish :D. I used to take all of Xmas off but to be honest I just get bored and over-eat :o, if we don't take it as holiday we never work full days and normally end up surfing the net and winding each other up so it's hardly like working!

    Are you pleased to read of my un-broodiness? ;)

    Very happily married on 10th April 2013 :D

    That's why I always go snowboarding at Xmas, have to take the time off so no use wasting it :)

    Yes, most of the people I know are all planning for babies over the next couple of years, you make me feel normal lol!

    Glad I have my uses hun! Sometimes I think I would like another one but I think I have left it too late, I'm too accustomed to being able to lie in and I don't realistically think we could ever afford for me to be off work....it certainly isn't in my 3 year plan!

    I switched it up today and brought in a peanut butter sandwich :rotfl:, very oldskool! Still waiting for music magpie to sort through my CDs and send me the whole £15 *roll eyes*, got my other refund today and OH is kindly delivering the coral, I still haven't heard from the other 2 ebayers so I think they are past being refunded :). Aim for tonight is to put my 2 limited edition geeky transformer statues on Ebay and fill out the post office claim form for the model that got damaged. My boss at work has a colour printer and I am hoping he gets it fixed today so he can print out the photos for me!

    Boo to the long hours! :(

    Most people here will be on leave from17 Dec to 4 Jan but as I am saving my leave for Borneo I will be on any day that's not weekend/bank holiday.

    Think I may be the only one in the building and very lonely so you'll all have to talk to me on here! :D

    Hell no!

    No offence to anyone who is broody or anyone who has kids but I really don't see the appeal!

    I've never wanted them and although I agree that you never know if you will change your mind, I think it's very unlikely I won't.

    I've had a lot of people very surprised by this and some even get quite angry and argue with me about it!

    I just think I don't argue with you that you want them so don't argue with me that I don't! :(

    Lots of my friends are going through the getting married and having kids stage now, makes me feel old! :)

    My work colleagues 3 week old baby came in for a visit yesterday Becs, I held him to save my boss more than anything as they were pushing the baby onto him and I could tell he was really uncomfortable! Made a joke on FB about the fact I didn't spontaneously combust or get broody :rotfl:
