    That's great that you really feel at home in your new office and they're so friendly. Such a relief after working with nice people for so long - it's a bit nerve wracking wondering what the change is going to be like.

    Well done on the sandals. :T Cheap, stylish AND comtfotable - that's my ideal pair of shoes! Shame the bunion was on the other foot though! :rotfl:

    Glad to hear that Mr SA is over the moon with his England shirt! Don't succumb though if he asks for the shorts as well!:D

    Enjoy the rest of your weekend! X

    Happy Sunday :) No work tomorrow happy days :)

    Booked a holiday to Ibiza for my birthday (August). Unforunately I was born in the school summer holidays so not a cheap do. Going to the hotel we went to last year for my birthday in San Antonio Bay. Mr SA won't need a scooter as everything is on the doorstep. Will get a taxi to Cafe Mambo if we feel the need to go. Going to book a table in Mint Lounge for my birthday.

    Super excited - I LOVE LOVE LOVE Ibiza :)

    Only had to pay a deposit tioday but the balance is due 12 June. Some shuffling about of money will have to be done.

    Did some gardening today - my arms are scratched to bits unfortunately. Mr SA has been sleeping and watching Formula 1 so no help at all.

    Enjoy the bank holiday folks :)

    That's Monday done painlessly :)

    After a cloudy start it's been red hot here today. Spent most of the day sunbathing :)

    My new job starts properly tomorrow as the director I'm PA to is back from holiday. Hoping it will get busier as at the moment feel I'm being paid more for less work. I like to be busy.

    Planning to start back in earnest at the gym tomorrow to get in shape for Ibiza :)

    Need to have a cheap week as already way over budget. Have got a £15 off £50 Ocado voucher so that's a start.

    Payday is Thursday - should have a week of new pay rate. Will have to wait until the end of June to see what I come out with properly though.

    Have a good week folks :)

    She was really nice when I met her before I started the job. Everyone I meet who asks me who I'm working for says she's nice too. To be honest where I work most people are nice - must be a requirement of the job LOL.

    Looking forward to meeting up with my old team on Friday.

    Forgot to say - bank holiday madness today - saw two minor crashes, one in Aldi car park, the other a few yards away on the main road. People rushing about. Luckily no one hurt.
