    Hello LondonGirl252.

    Just catching up on your diary - I didn't realise they were military horses. That must be fab. I bet they are very well trained!
    Hi Guys!

    Busy busy year end at work!!! We are working tomorrow but taking Sunday off, good job I love my job! Lol

    So, here’s the next dilemma I need your advice on – actually I already know the answer I just need you all to tell me im right!

    So my flatmate won a spa day at Pennyhill Park in her work xmas raffle and asked if I would like to go with her --- er YES PLEASE!

    However, she got the details through yesterday and it only includes entry to the spa and nothing else. So while this still sounds like a nice day out I’m having second thoughts now. No treatment costs less than £90 and the menu there only has meals for over £20, factor in train tickets etc etc and actually this turns into an expensive day out which I can’t afford. She says she doesn’t mind not having a treatment and just hanging by the pool but who wants to go all the way to Surrey just to sit next to a fancy pool? I feel she’ll have a better time if she goes with someone a bit more frivolous with money as even if we just have lunch I still don’t want to spend that much money on a trip to Surrey to swim and eat an expensive lunch. Do I sound really ungrateful though at suggesting this? As Im really touched she asked me and it did sounds like a nice idea but that was when I thought it would include a nice treat too.

    Thoughts? I might have a chat with her tonight about it, I just hope she doesn’t get offended as she can be sensitive.

    My boss very kindly paid for us all to have lunch today which was very generous – too generous really. So I’m saving the £20 I would have spent today to save towards buying him a nice lunch back next month.

    So today is a NSD J

    I'm sure if you explain it like you have here she shouldn't mind.

    That's such a shame - at least you spotted it now rather than once you'd arrived. That would have been a nasty shock.
    Hope your FM understands.

    So right!! I'd have had no money to pay! lol I shall update of course!!

    We just had the professional pictures from the xmas party emailed round, there is one of me on the dance floor, leg in hand, doing the chicken leg dance! I wonder if that increases my chance of promotion?

    Spoke to FM and she was OK-ish she seemed a bit put out but not much I can do about that! Said she wasn't planning on spending anyway but then I pointed out why would you go all the way there and buy train tickets just to sit by a pool? At some point you have to eat!
