    All frosty and cold here, snow slowly melting off ground.We have a very keen window cleaner here, he dodged the hailstones yesterday, and today he is working in whats left-talk about keen.

    Cold here in Edinburgh but lovely and sunny with no snow as yet!

    Made it clear to everyone today that I'm not going on the office team-building event on Friday as I can't afford it. Embarrassing, but less embarassing than getting there and being unable to pay my share. Soooooooo, on Friday yours truly will be at my desk while everyone else is on a flight!

    There's nothing so devisive as money, is there?!
    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!

    Well done Bathgate - that must be a weight of your mind. I wonder how many others in the party are now wishing they'd said the same thing...

    Happy birthday to the little penguin (or pingu) and hope those feeling rough get better soon. good luck with the ann summers thing IA. x

    I feel so relieved at just saying 'no'. The stress of worrying about trying to find the cash before Friday has been quite awful. Still, it does stress to them how much i need a payrise!

    Bathgate, it looked as though it would be quite an expensive event anyway, so to make an assumption that all could afford it was a little cheeky. Glad you feel better for telling them :)

    Still blue skies & cold at the sunny Lancashire seaside.....mind you, haven't actually seen the sea today - might have a touristy drive down the Prom on my way home.....:)
