    Hey everyone! I have an important meeting at 4:30 but I can feel myself starting to flag a bit.

    Also I had an unexpected spend today of £21. I walked to the Post Office to send my xmas cards to America and even though they were small cards it is £1.28 in postage per card. Next year everyone is getting an email!
