  • You got your wish with Rhys going 😆 It’s now at the stage where they’re all good. I still think Rose will win although AJ is still my favourite. 
    I hope Rose wins. Gio is clearly smitten with her.
    but, they are all good now and I won’t really mind who wins. 
    I’ve seen there is a Ghosts Christmas special…I love that! 
    MrT did an amazing substitution today…they didn’t have any Red Leicester cheese in the store apparently…so instead of sending another cheese they sent 2 small cheese and tomato pizza’s 🤣🤣🤣 well that will be great in a sandwich, thanks T!

    Good morning from North East Victoria, Australia. They let us in! First Covid negative, another one Saturday am before we head for the beach. Having tea and toast on the front porch. We’re allowed out from midnight tomorrow night, can stay in same house but distanced. To add insult to injury to you all, we’re in a very popular wine region........ puppy gorgeous but a bit prone to nipping at present.

  • glad you have arrived safe and sound, have a wonderful time x
  • Good morning and happy Monday 🍫📚🎄☕️
    Only a week and 3 days left to work before Christmas 🤶 
    Nothing much to report on the spending front…I really need to not do any now! 
    @carolbee amazing! I’m so glad you got there and are having a fabulous time. I hope we let you back in again with all the rapid rule changes. It’s hard to know if they will get better or worse 😖
    I hope you all have a happy Monday filled with all good things ☕️🍫📚

  • Good afternoon
    good to hear from carolbee.  I've got 8.5 working days left this year but i have 3 eve meetings this week :( Counting the hours till Friday. I have to go into the office shortly so just did a LFT.  Calling to see a friend on way home from work. Posted all cards except 2 yesterday as i ran out of stamps!  Put up a few decorations too but no tree yet - might end up with a twig at this rate  :o x

  • Good morning and happy Tuesday ☕️🍫📚🎄
    Today will be a no spend day. No messing WW! 
    Work is awful right now, so busy and to make it worse everyone is trying to fit in Christmas meetings and virtual quizzes like it’s a treat, when no one has time 🙄 Yes, lovely, I’ll join your mandatory fun and then work a few hours over for free to catch up…sigh!
    I hope the Christmas spirit catches up with me soon 😬
    I hope you all have a tremendous Tuesday filled with happiness and all good things ☕️📚🍫🎄

    Happy Tuesday. My work is the same, I'm still catching up with the work I could've done when I lost 3 hours to the team virtual party last week. It seems everyone is 'clearing their desks' so they can finish for Christmas. As soon as I think I'm making progress on my to do list something else appears out of the blue to add to it. Bah humbug 😆
    I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)
  • It’s rubbish isn’t it @Sun_Addict. What’s worse is they don’t want you to log in when you’re off (have a nice break they say), they also don’t want you to leave anything for your cover to do (understandable) and don’t give you enough time to catch up. People are dropping like flies with stress so the rest of us get even more. Bah humbug indeed! 🎅🏻

  • morning WW and friends
    One eve meeting down, 2 to go ......
    We are not having any festive dos where i work.  We have a team meeting next week but HR are talking to us about the ongoing transformation prog that will mean our jobs could change and our grades could change too !  One person in my team is worried about being downgraded :( Don't think we'll get any detail but i've already sat through a high level presentation on the transformation and really all staff want to know is what does it mean for their job and their pay!  
    I can't get onto online banking - haven't been able to since Sunday, so no idea what my balance is - payday is next Monday!!

    happy Tuesday :)
