    Glad you can make it, I wanted to tell you about a wheeze that is going to save my buyers £90k on stamp duty if they complete by 31st March ;-)
    Oh yes, I had meant to discuss this at the virtual party.  Only a few hours to go now.  I guessed the wheeze might be the double benefit from the SDLT holiday obtained with a claim for multiple dwellings relief.  I find SDLT is always a good conversation starter at a party.  At least when there is a saving to be had!

    You need to have something ready to wear for when we all jump into the pool.
    Birthday suit it is then. Though it could do with ironing.
    I'll also pack my donkey jacket & DMs for the stroll across to the casino. Do I need to bring my own chips? If so, please note they will be Gluten Free, so I won't be sharing them

    I peaked early.   🥳 

    Hootenanny should have started hours earlier today.

    I've not even started yet. I was meant to have the day off but one of my staff is ill so I'm at work for another hour.

    I found Doozergirl in one of the bedrooms in the east wing. Collapsed on the floor, red wine all over the shag pile carpet. One of the staff have adminstered alka seltzer and I'm back to the casino to make sure the magnet hasn't fallen off the bottom of the roulette wheel.
    So alka seltzer can get red wine stains off a shag pile carpet?
