Thanks @Chiglepig.
Unfortunately @savingholmes simple pleasures are very tasty, so I'm not sure how long they'll last...😟
It will be weird when the office reopens, quite enjoy muting in meetings, can't really do that in real life...😆If it's not adding up, compound it!2 -
I agree going back to the office will be weird. I worked from home permanently since January 2019. I was in a different role where they didn't care where I was and then Covid hit and I changed jobs.
Now I have a year out for maternity leave, but I guess I'll actually have to visit the office again in March 2022! Not looking forward to it... much less time consuming to work from home

I'm not a great cake fan, but adore coffee and walnut cake...

Someone sent me some treats for tomorrow - I have cake, brownies, a cookie and some other squares of something that looks interesting... I wonder whether the kids will find it before I scoff them!Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality
