    Lou,
    Sounds good - a bob works for most face shapes so that sounds good.

    Butti, its too nice for housework. How is your eye now BTW?

    I'll have to do some but will maybe shift the focus to gardening. The man comes down on Friday so the bedroom (at least) will have to be nice ;)

    The eye is good. Surgeon has given me contact lenses to try out for the right eye as he's probably going to undercorrect it and leave it slightly short sighted. Normally I wear -3.25 and he's given me -1.50 so its taking a bit of getting used to, especially as the left is still settling! The theory in leaving it still short is that it means I keep my close to vision for about another 5 years before I have to wear reading glasses.

    I'm trying to get him to schedule the next lot for early July but he seems in no rush!

    Hey Gonzo,

    It's days like these that Butti's signature quote is particularly relevant...

    EXTREME GLOAT ALERT:o

    Just had a conversation with CEO. FD has told him he thinks I'm a 'good investment' and that he can already see benefits in hiring me, not least of which being the time saving ideas already implemented...

    Sorry to boast but I have to let it out somewhere. Its just nice to know my work is noticed and appreciated:o:o:o

    Luc-you speak wise words, thank you for the kick up the arris as was clearly much needed.

    Also, superbly well well done on the job.

    I have just emailed my manager to apologise for my typical Bunny verbal tourettes moment when the Financial Director was in the office. I am such a dork...

    Drop a brand challenge
    on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)

    Well done Luc :beer:

    Chin up Bun. Remember you've made more sales than they were expecting from a newbie. The occasional foot in the mouth incident will give you something to talk about at the Christmas party.

    What's the prob - or is it a face to face solution required?

    My prob - what do I do with 40 odd socks. Are they any use to a charity?
