    And that Q1 2014 is going to be worse... :(:(:(

    Sorry to hear that you have had a cruddy day. Sending you big hugs and :xmassmile to try and cheer you up.
    Perhaps GG will be round with her dodgy hug emote later too.... :D
  • Thanks BW

    I've spent a couple of hours this evening sorting through my inbox. I've cleared a few things (and found a few things I'd forgotten about!) and overall I'm feeling more in control now :)

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

    Much better day today - mainly due to not being in the office and drinking free champagne all afternoon :D

    Agreed!

    Someone might regret leaving us with a free bar when they get the bill - when I left there were ~30 people doing Jager bombs :rotfl:

    Wimpish confession - I've never had one as I have a fear that I'd immediately fall down drunk:o This is based on nothing but while I love a glass or two [STRIKE]or five [/STRIKE]of wine I just don't get the drinking to get drunk thing - I am middle-aged:o Young friend told me that today because I was listening to Radio 2 but I am middle aged so don't care:rotfl::rotfl:
