He survived the swimming but was disappointed he can't get his co-ordination back. He used to be a good swimmer. Must be the area of his brain affected.
Bought cakes for work today to put out tomorrow, it's a dear do when there are 160 people in the office :eek:
Looking forward to my leaving do tomorrow but will be sad to leave my team. But then I'm only a building away and we'll meet up for lunch/drinks. I'm lucky I work with so many lovely people.
Mr SA is moaning about the cost of me leaving - drinks, cakes, lunch out, possible taxi home after if I've got flowers, wine, presents (not being presumptuous here, I might not have
) I'm not exactly going out on the lash. I'll probably spend £15 tops! My team wanted me to make a night of it with cocktails etc but as much as I enjoy a glass or two of wine I'm a bit of a lightweight with alcohol, two glasses is about my limit I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0 -
