  • HI ho hi ho it's back to work I go humpth 😤
    Posting and reading of diaries will most probably be drastically reduced as time will be once again oh so precious.
    I vaguely remember tomorrow's world rattling on how we would all be doing reduced hours in the future due to the technological advances - they lied 😭
    Oh well it's been a good break and I'm lucky to have a job that isn't too bad on the whole and provides a decent income so gratitude ticked.

  • The trouble with the reduced hours idea is they’d want to pay us reduced wages too 😢 Much as I dislike working all the time, I have no desire to sit in my shawl and fingerless gloves trying to keep my hands warm over a candle 😖
    I hope work is kind to you.

  • Work has been kind @WinterWarrior, there were still some of the Christmas chocs left this morning which has made the day a lot more tolerable.  working in an office does have an advantage over WFH on the odd occasion!

  • Hotel choc all the way.  Never tried F & M so can't advise but HC is simply scrummy!

    In other more mse news I have worked out that if all bills not yet debited, come out as planned (rounded up for TT purposes obviously) we should have around £115 each week (3 to go) left for groceries, choc, wine and fuel.  It won't be easy but should be doable as Mr M_F has still a box and a half of cider left and he can drink the Xmas whiskey instead of nicking my wine if he runs out.  Now we can steal from the sinking funds but I really don't want to do that.  I've done a pantry/freezer stock take and should be able to rustle up a couple of weeks of meals with just stocking up on lunch stuff for work and a few bits.
