Mmmm if only she laid creme eggs... :rotfl:
Now Miss Gladys, mummy needs you to start laying pale blue eggs please
We had a sweepstake at work today (£1 entry) to predict what time the boss and let's call her "Mary" would get back from one of their frequent long lunch breaks (if they're not having an affair they are doing a really good job of making everyone else in the team think they are) :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: I lostMortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000

14:25 but they came back at 14:10
Not particularly dishevelled MM. However she does look flustered when she knows that we know that she is lying about something and it always makes us chuckle when they leave and return to the office 2 minutes apart :rotfl:Mortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000

Ha ha - they've probably got diaries on here and spend their lunch times looking for roadkill pennies.
