Depends on the job. Obviously yours is physically demanding. A desk job on the other hand, would have you saying:
"Mirror, mirror,
Next to the vase,
Just how lardy

Still gubbed but only 2 more days to go and then off for Sunday, no idea what I'm working next week but need Friday off for day with LM
Not sure what my current financial aim is as kitchen still not organised (got a man coming on Sunday;)) but looking at not spending the kitchen fund money on kitchen so might change that to a legal fees fund to challenge myself (there is money already budgeted for them from savings) or then again spend it on shoes...:p

The need can't be that great if you've spent this year not using them...
