    Hope all goes well tomorrow. I like Stripey's suggestion. You never know when you are going to meet your last boss again.

    Hope all goes well today, Al xx
    Thank you.

    Kick off was 9.30 and I'm not expecting news until mid-late afternoon.

    I have a start date for my new role and I appear to have bought an aga (or the other way round, it's hard to be sure).

    Dry January may have got a little damp last night.
    Rooting for you and your DH, Alchemilla.  Very sensible to get a bit damp yesterday evening :) and omg, the mixup on the Travelodges!  The last thing you want, hope it turned out okay.
