    LOL! Good point! But I guess some people have to be interested in such thiings or we'd never have biscuits in the first place would we? And that would be simply tragic! :eek:

    So what are we all actually up to this afternoon then?

    I'll kick off - I'm invigilating preparation for A Level French Oral exams. This involves sitting in the coldest room in history making sure none of the lovely young people cheat!

    I'm at work with no work to do because I've finished my project and my contract doesn't run out for 2 weeks. Getting a bit bored to be honest.

    I'm at work, but don't actually have anything to do (shame!) In fact, things are so quiet here that last week I ended up:

    clearing my Outlook inbox
    re-packing the store cupboard
    cleaning my computer keyboard for half an hour

    And I'm supposedly middle management!

    Hello Ciara, good luck with the leaflet, macaroons sound nice, haven't had them in years.
