    Not today, I have been enlisted to make a large birthday for MDs 80th this year, I spent £24 on lindt chocolate alone! overall the cost is £132.72, I am unsure if she will pay me back, I don't want to ask her I think I will use prolific money to repay this money back over the coming month! I am hopeful to get another job soon too. MD recently cleared my credit card bless her over £1K! She deserves a lovely cakeXX P.S I have yet to make it...next weeks job!
