    Can't believe it's only Tuesday - fell asleep on train earlier :rotfl:.

    Been a funny old day. Board Meeting this morning, upshot of which is we will have a lot less work. C'est la vie, am remarkably relaxed about it (mainly tbh as I have some staff I would be happy to lose. Brutal, but honest). Then lunch with a client I've done a lot of work for recently - she started telling me about her retirement plan to a place in Ireland, I mentioned Rich Dad, Poor Dad which she'd read and thought was great so we had a fab hour discussing that, and plans - totally unexpected but v welcome :T. Then we had a work meeting and she asked for a quote for more work - won't be a great deal, and a bit awkward to arrange, but am v pleased as it reflects well on me (for a change :rotfl:).

    Phone call to boss tomorrow and he's going to tell me I won't be getting all my bonus :(. Does he not realise I'm on a tight schedule :mad:.

    About to watch Real Madrid make stunning comeback, with lots of coverage of Mr Mourinho :blushing:.

    I don't think I take it seriously enough. The only comment I've made so far is 'oh look, Ozil's had his hair cut' :o :rotfl:.

    Gally if it helps I went to the Army v Navy rugby at Twickenham on Saturday and didnt even notice that the big usually ginger welshman who does most of the army's kicking has gone blonde and braided his hair 0 in favour of noticing he has a new tattoo on his thigh :rotfl:
