    Speaking to younger colleague today she reckons I seem to get yelled at a lot more than others but apparently the boss really likes me? Weird eh?

    Any how looking forward to a bit more life/work balance in July :D Might not hit my financial targets but not giving a jot!

    Shopping with DS in the big city tomorrow - running shoes for me and clothes for him no doubt and maybe a spot of lunch ;) and I have wine chilling for later...

    Of course it's MSE - MSE is about value for money. If it had been crap, then it wouldn't have been MSE.

    Fab day - but not all bad?

    And people wonder why I get confused easily... :p
