😂😂😂 Eat that speout indeed 😂😂😂 I too like sprouts but I also do like the phrase 😂
It's getting there! Started making changes but then meeting happened - fortunately something happened IN the meeting that provides me with an excellent example to go in the form, so definitely worth going.
Race is on to the finish now, and I have a couple of people lined up to have a last idiot check before I submit it 😊7 -

Thank you beanie, and all the rest of you who've cheered me on today 😂 Submitted with 10 mins to spare 🙈 Good job we didn't have a power cut! 😱 Also various bits i wish I'd added in, but it's too late now.
Nothing to be done now except have a stiff drink before bed 😂 Can't imagine I'll hear for at least a fortnight, if not longer.
Going to have to work at least some of tomorrow to make up for missing most of today 🙄 but it should just be a day of mostly catching up on fairly straightforward stuff, replying to emails, booking travel, claiming expenses, those types of things.
Right - gin, then bed 😂10 -
