    I'm just as bad - planning on buying a new shelf for the fridge :rotfl:.

    I made the mistake of checking my blackberry before bed and 2 e-mails have annoyed me :mad:

    My mood is not helped by a headache, painful ankle and lack of food.

    First e-mail is from a VP moaning about the variance in our budget (-$1.1M) and asking what I can do in future to prevent it... absolutely nothing!!! The budget is the bane of my life, I spend days and days every quarter reviewing it, revising it, having numerous meetings about it , e-mailing Project Managers details about how much I plan to spend and when, however I am completely reliant on them since control of the money was taken away from the functions last year. And of course the PMs always plan for success... :mad:

    Second e-mail was from a supplier telling me that it had been brought to her attention that they had overcharged me... err yes by me!!! Stupid woman :mad:

    I know QBW... *rolls eyes*
    I should have realised that he wasn't cancelling his trip to JL merely postponing it :rotfl:

    Given up on shelf, going to get an undershelf bottle holder thingy instead. To hold unopened milk obviously :D.

    Hope you wake up feeling better all round MWC.

    PS Love to LRH :)

    Morning MWC,

    Well done to Mr MWC :T. Sounds like a treat is in order :)

    How's the leg today? Is a trip to the GP on the cards?

    Morning Tilly

    It's not painful this morning :) however, I'll be on my feet all morning so I'll reassess the need for a GP visit at lunchtime
