I've got a HUGE selection of xmas choccies and biccies to share

I'm feeling a little depressed as none of my rl CM mates are working. Unfortunately I cant afford to take any more days off

Please come join me !!!!!!!!

oh nick, so pleased to have company!

well the kids are playing very happily with my DS's (hundreds of ) new toys. So I've started on the choccies already - mmmmmm toblerone!!

I cant believe I'm the only CM working. It's not a bank holiday o surely parents are working and need childcare? All my parents are working so's DP and most of my non CM friends.
Oh yeah, do you know if banks are open today? I'm assuming so.

I'm awake, but not working... coming in to get a hot lemon & honey (my cold is not improving).
I would work if anyone wanted me, but no one does.
