Now that's the kind of godmother I would have liked!

I would not in a month of Sundays guessed that the NP in question looked like that. Much younger than I expected and for some reason I expected dark brown hair.. For no particular reason, just did...

What’s all this about?

I’ve just listened to an hour of being told that Sonja’s in Milan, Ani’s at the Ani Plaza (Yerevan) and Ioana’s in New York. I think I need a holiday now (9 hours in from a week off, and too tired to go through about 5 pages to read it properly!)

I only charge £175 for half a days work

Maybe I need to rework my costings...

I don’t charge for my work at all, as I don’t deal with clients after contracts have been signed. The bulk of my wages are lovingly made up of the 20%+VAT commission and the 2-ish% that’s left over after the staff and office have been paid, which is minus whatever PR and Events (their money comes in separately) do and how much they bring in, oh, and for the next year-ish, overly generous taxi drivers, whose livelihoods I’ve been nice enough to save!

I used - you know - to be able to talk - you know- without interjecting 'you know' after every second word -you know- but put me in front of a TV camera and reporter and I develop -you know- a mannerism which I don't really have in real life, interesting I think - you know. Now I am wondering if I do it in other stressful situations like high pressure presentations and meetings and everyone had been to polite to tell me - you know

If we work on the basis of £1.50 ingredient cost for a large cake each month, we’ll be looking, on the basis of 25 NP, we’ll be looking at £37.50 monthly. (Using the cheapest, reasonable ingredients, paid on a cashback card then BT’d for 24 months, with the money placed into a savings account)

Throw in gas, which would come to around 30p a cake (using the cheapest supplier) and NMW during the first 12 months as an intern NP cake maker (MSE promotes this for interns), you’re looking at around £476/month (based on Mrs CK cooking)

I owe LIR £5712! :eek:

And there’s method in the madness of the above :money:

I was pretty much the same, going back to 2003/4, when I was young and on TV back home. I was in a movie in 2007, and didn’t say anything of the sort at all, you know. I’m the one that says ‘I think Ukraine will be the winner’, for anyone that’s interested.

I go to the gym a lot, and am very hungry. I will need three times as much cake as an average NP, please can you therefore rerun the costings to take this into account. (plus I only have about 45 limited edition orange chunky Kitkats left, when they run out I will need extra cake).
