Morning all

I hope no one minds me starting this while IA is busy looking after Ste. It's the morning after the Christmas party and I am really hungover!

    Morning all. How did your party go Lucy ? Were you pleased with your eye makeup ? Hope Sar gets chance to post an update soon.

    It went very well actually. Makeup was fine although I didn't have the chance to get any phone's (well none that I want made public!) Although I think the 11 odd alcoholic drinks were a bit much... I don't drink honest! :o

    I hope she does to.

    Good morning

    I'm out of the office (but have a couple of minutes so thought get at least a hint of a MSE fix today)!

    Hope you're all well - water (to drink) and a fry up (to eat) are great for hangovers. Failing that buttery toast works as well!

    Sar - hope ste gets better soon.

    Morning - well, almost afternoon!

    Been awake since 6, OH was wriggling around and messing around with the quilt and woke me up so I'm knack'd now.

    For those that do click thru's etc, I signed up to this about 10 days ago and I've done just over £7 so far in lots of 10/15/20 pences.

    £40 is a lot before they pay out, but at least I can't spend it!
