  • MWC - I forgot to pop by and mention that a certain television nature presenter was on Desert Island Discs recently :happyhear Was a good listen (although it confirmed that he is a bit of a fruitcake). Did you hear it?

    MM

    No, I missed it :(

    Mmmm fruitcake :smileyhea

    I received a recognition award today from a colleague - even better than the £125 of vouchers was that she told the whole team that I was amazing (several times :rotfl:) :j

    Well done clever clogs :T:T:T
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)

    Congrats on the award. Well done you.:T
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    Well done on the award :)

    Thank you!

    I'd already asked this colleague to provide feedback for my appraisal so that's looking promising too :rotfl:

    Miss D (bottom left, top photo) is moulting and looking a little oven ready. I'll post another photo in a few weeks when she is fully-feathered and looking stunning.

    That's brilliant MWC - congratulations.

    I was helping to decide the winner for our 'Inspirational Leadership' award at work today and wrote several glowing comments. It seemed the least I could do for lovely people :)
