    The parcel for ex...didn't involve a visit to the bathroom first did it?

    No, no! Tempting tho' :D

    Just all the stuff she bought as presents for me and asked for back (conveniently forgetting the gentlemans rule that you never ask for gifts back)

    If your sending it by post, be sure to forget to put the postage on it, if she wants it all back so much she'll have to pay for it. :)

    Morning!

    I'm having a lazy morning until I need to go and brave London Traffic later :( Have to be at canary warf at 4.30 then Old Billingsgate for 6, that'll be fun won't it! I'm still waiting on the BAA strike results to be announced, I just want to know if I'm flying on Sunday or not. I know Sunday's flight won't be affected but if they are striking around 3rd when we come back I won't risk it. I can't do delays with Amber so we'll either need to cut the trip short or cancel and re-book for end of january.

    The ballot only finished yesterday, it'll be a day or two before they announce it and I'm pretty sure they won't get that far (speaking as a BAA employee)

  • Morning!!

    A lazy morning sounds good, I slept in this morning and was half an hour late for work (the shame!!)
    I feel so ill with the cold; so I have muchas sympathy and cuddles from collegues (I think they just want to catch it so they can get time off.....!!!)

    And I've just been invited to what will probably be a crazy party on christmas evening, after our families have left, so I'll be too hungover to hit the sales, yay!!

    my debts: less than this time last year....!
