    Piggy in the middle at work between a colleague and my boss :(
    In the end I decided to do what the boss wanted!

    So much to do and so little time to do it all... I'm at a F2F meeting in the US next week, a conference the week after, and on holiday the week after that (and the week after that!)

    Mr MWC slept all morning and is feeling much better now :T

    £5.50 Gardening Club vouchers arrived in the post :T (I'll gloss over how much I spent in the garden centre to earn those...)

    I had another neck/shoulder/back deep tissue massage this evening - I fell asleep until I had to roll over and then I nearly yelped in pain when she did my pecs :eek:

    I've just looked in the mirror...

    I've got a post-massage bruise on my neck and it looks like a hickey :o

    I'd love to see the faces when you explain that at work :rotfl:
    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 !!

    Just had a lovely catch up MWC. Miss Beryl still looks lovely alongside the autumn leaves!
