    Ha thank you ladies and so lovely to see you all!

    I had spoken to DS and said I was worried I'd lose my 'snowdrop overlord' status, but he reminded me that my reach now extended further now.

    Terms still to be sorted.

    But indeed YAY.

    I scored 59/62 on the interview sheets which I accidentialy saw in the office. Whoops but I did do a wee dance.

    Bottling cordials today - and cooking up more fruit/veg.

    Must do banks/invoices etc

    Its not quite a day off but not quite a work day.
