    Oh no, MR NKN has said I have to go home early - I'm not allowed out in my pjs and we're off out now. Well done GG have a lovely day celebrating and I'll have my bubbles later with a nod to you:beer:

    There you go :)
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    I made it! Meeting went well. Sorry I didn't have time to change into my PJ's so you'll have to excuse me in a jumper dress. Just slung some spuds in the oven - anyone else fancy a jacket potato lunch? I can offer tuna, sweetcorn mayo, a bit of grated cheese or just butter?

    Thanks for the offer MRN but Gallys just made me a delish bacon & brie baguette - she might make you one if you're quick?

    Congratulations! I'm imagining a big snowball effect as you redirect your payments towards the next one.

    I've brought a prawn ring, although it's not quite finished defrosting...

    Have you got any ice cream? I'll move straight onto dessert and have a baileys floater.

    Hope I'm not too late! Had to go to the traditional 'End of Term Full English' at the local greasy spoon. Have Creme de Menthe and Galliano :rotfl:.
