    This week, it's my turn to be away of business (UK - nowhere exotic!) but it looks like we'll both be at home next week :)

    I'm being taken out for drinks and dinner tonight :) Not too many drinks though as I'm being picked up at 06:40 for a 07:00 start tomorrow :(

    Just subscribing to the thread mwc. I have a bluebell chook too and find her teradactyl feet terrifying. All of the other 9 have normal chook feet but the bluebell feet look prehistoric.

    Oh. Was thinking a jug of sangria would be sufficient. Can see I'll have to step up to the mark :D. Though I can't even begin to deconstruct that :rotfl:.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    :wave:

    At long last it's pay day :j
    I'll have to wait until I'm home (Saturday evening) before I can reconcile the accounts and make an overpayment though

    I'm full of cold and feeling sorry for myself :(

    Urg! Not nice when you're not at home :( Hope *home-time* comes around swiftly and you can get engrossed in that account reconciliation! Don't your employers know how important MFW activities are???!!! :D

    Hope the 'new girls' are continuing to settle in under MrMWC's care.
