Fingers crossed the job application goes smoothly.
I would hate the virtual Christmas party. Sounds awful.

The meeting I was in before the virtual party overran, I was determined I was still going to take my lunch break so I missed the first 35 minutes. It was ok-ish. One of the games was brilliant thanks to the team member having amazing IT knowledge. Anyway it’s done for another year.Had a call from Jet2 special assistance about Mr SA’s booked assistance at the airport. I can’t get my around we’ve got 2 holidays booked, the first one is in just over 4 months. I hope things calm down a bit before then Covid wise.DD is still poorly, she has no sense of taste. She came in the kitchen while I was there touching door handles and things with her Covid hands 😱I went round spraying everything with disinfectant but who knows how many things she’s touched. It will be a miracle if we don’t come down with it.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5

Good luck with the job application and with the continuous disinfecting of everywhere DD has been. Hope she gets better soon.
I bought myself a Mia tui weekend bag after you mentioned them on your diary - so I think I'll count that against your spending day total (it wasn't my fault I bought it as it's impossible to resist a dusty pink weekend bag). However, I will take responsibility for booking 4 nights away straight after new year in order to use the new bag 😂7 -

The Lenny - in dusky pink. I used my personal spends budget to buy it and I did actually need a weekend bag - I used a large canvas shopping bag last time I went away - I was so embarrassed that I sneaked it out of the car.3
