    Me too! I am guilty of rewarding myself with food and cheering myself up with food and eating to be polite. In general, just eating all the time...:o

    Well done on smelling nice during your exercise bout :D I have a free spritz of perfume every day on the way to work. It's a luxurious mse thing. I certainly couldn't afford to buy perfume at the moment.

    Hi all! rainy New York, evening 2.

    My tights gave me a blister on my left foot, which if you have to walk around NY really stinks. So I splashed out $4 on 2 pairs of cotton socks so I can wear my loafers tomorrow instead of courts.

    I think the older I get the more my attention span decreases. No meeting should last 4 hours. My mind was drifting for the last hour.

    another meeting tomorrow in the morning and then a lunch break and another in the afternoon. It's a long day as the morning meeting is in New Jersey and starts at 830am.

    Hope everyone is keeping well.

    There are people in these meetings who like the sound of their own voice. I work with a man I will call John Smith. I have re-named him
    "john why say 1 word when 100 will do smith"

    in MSE fasion I used a giftcard I got last year for Christmas to buy a coffee. :)

    Hello Newleaf, :wave:

    The meetings sound tedious - how many more have you got to endure?

    It's raining here too, btw.

    Morning Robin thanks for popping by. It's a sunny and 25c day here today. It's my Mother's 72nd birthday today. I will take her and nutty stepfather to dinner tonight. It will be MSE because I will use the vi£a gift card I got from work for good performance to pay for it. :)

    Hello Jubilee, thanks for the subscribe. I do travel loads. The way I deal with it is on the breaks durning meetings, I enetr any receipts collected so far into our expenses tool, so that when I get home, it is all done and I just pop the envelope in the post.

    Today I will check my account with "THEM" and update my signature
