saving money in york


It's bliss at the moment as l am off work until Tuesday afternoon, the last day off being a finance meeting in York last Thursday. This was about as exciting as you can imagine, but the cuts we are to implement will save about £200,000 a year, which has to be done because of the bastard government. I was meant to be working on Friday, but while l was in York l received a call saying that another worker would do my shift if l wanted. Didn't take long to think of an answer to that question.
l am also a hero (again) as l argued the case for the same meals being eaten together within workplaces (it's a long story), and convinced the head honcho of the merits. Result! The staff teams were pretty pleased (to say the least) when l told them on my return (l had to drop off some rotas at various houses). Never trust anyone l say, l'm sure they will still find something to complain about, but you can only do your best and be true to yourself, so sod it.
Off to the brother and sister in laws tomorrow/today for booze and fireworks (and to see their devilish offspring). Also going for lunch in the Boro beforehand, so may be a little tiddly (ooeer) when l turn up. Still, that's the only way to handle families l say.
Also, it's.................................Nearly Berlin time! Less than four weeks to go and l am starting to look forward to it. Hurrah!
