    I guess because he's a popular member of the team, he's very good at his job, he's had a promotion this year, he's not unhappy, he works for a very successful company and he's giving up unvested shares...

    Eggy bread is on it's way... might get stuck as it is drizzled with maple syrup!

    So much to do, so little time to do it... and even less energy to do anything at all... :(

    I think my get up & go has gone on holiday already - still another 5 days for the rest of me - I can't even be bothered to make a list!

    Yay for Mr MWC. :)
    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 !!

    What a waste. Maple syrup belongs only on pancakes :(

    Great news on the Mr MWC job front :T.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
