Post by Daisy »

Sorry I've not been around so much lately.

The job I started in July is taking up more of my time than it should, getting an account base established and getting a reputation that took me eight years to grow in my last company across in six months has been tough.

But it does have it's benefits, the company does as it promises and really looks after the staff there is hardly a week goes by without some kind of event, last Friday we got greeted with champagne on arrival in the office as the company had won the Reseller of the Year (our equivalent of the bets movie oscar). And Thursday this week we got taken to the Manchester Christmas Markets for food and drink (more champagne involved, a girl could get bored of it ... But not anytime soon).

But I have stuck my nose in here from time to time and I'll be honest it's got a bit fraught hasn't it?

Hi Daisy! Good to see you! :D

The champaign lifestyle obviously suits you Dais. Will you start talking like an Essex girl soon?

As for the frotting? We'll have none of that Manchester style filth in this forum thank you very much!

You're in Antioch? ...and here I was working right next door in Concord, we could have had coffee. Oh well, that project's done.

No idea who's playing. That's half the fun no?

You need to register on https://glastonbury.seetickets.com/Regi ... n/Register

We're taking the caravan instead of the traditional two man tent though. Are you planning on being in the uk in June 2013?

Nah, no chance!

I haven't been to Glastonbury since 1982 though, before it got too commercial (I believe is the snob thing to say ;) )

Lemme know too, Loca.

We could make it a threesome (if Andrew doesn't mind).
