    The staff turnover on the other team is such that I don't even bother to learn their names anymore. As soon as I do, they get promoted and a new one takes their place.

    MU your tree sounds cool. I like black trees - the coloured decorations really pop. I have some black glittery baubles for my tree and they look great (well, I think so anyway).

    Lir - very jealous of your cheese room. I picture it being full of wheels of cheese. Nom.

    What is a cheese room? Considering cheese is my most favourite thing even overtaking chocolate in my preferences I think I need one!

    WaS are you me? I love cheese. I may be part mouse.

  • Yay! more cheese lovers! I have honestly never met a cheese that I don't like, I can have it with everything and thoroughly enjoy it, too. In fact, the only gift I have asked WaSp for, for Christmas is a cheeseboard!

    Awww, adorable mouse! WaSp only likes cheddar, I just think he is strange and doesn't know what he is missing.

    I keep forgetting people don't actually know me.

    Cheese room is my kitchen.

    It was a cheese room, a type of dairy building in which cheese is made, so we still call it the Cheese Room. I have a picture of it before it was decorated.....or maybe some from last Christmas. I'll try and dig some out of you are interested?

  • Yes please, LIR, I would love to see the picture! That is really fascinating, I wasn't aware that there were rooms specifically to make cheese in.

    Fir keeps a little record and indices on cheese and his dreams.

    He also keeps a record of pink whistley's cheese preferences.

    He is a cheese fiend.
