This is my last half hour in work as a married man. When I return, I will have a ring on my finger and a wife around my arm (although granted, Claire won’t be coming into work with me “in body”, despite the fact her ward is only a short walk from my office).
I work in a lovely team. When I arrived at my desk, I was greeted by a stuffed toy frog. Julie had made it for me at her Craft Club, as a wedding present. I’ll upload a photo of it later. Later in the morning, the entire department gathered round, while someone read out a brilliant speech about women, life and all the stuff that comes with marriage. I was then presented with an exciting looking envelope – although, as it is addressed to Claire as well as myself, I have had to refrain from opening it just yet!
I must say, I was very touched, if not a tad embarassed – although the whole thing was really nice.
If you work with me and are reading this, thank you!

- Happy Pyjamaday
Today was my first day off since dropping my hours and going part time.
This day off is known, within the department, as a "non-working day". Smart arses may argue that I have five of these a week already.
This "NWD", however, allows me to stay at home, wearing my pyjamas all day, should I so wish....

Introducing the Office Bunny!
Yes, that is Shaun the Sheep peering up at the camera. He had been sitting on top of my computer for the past 5+ years, but was kicked off his throne this morning by Rabbit Di Nero.
I am aware that sharing my workspace with a stuffed, life size rabbit could be considered...
- Part Timer
This week is my last working five days
Monday to Friday is over for me.
From next week, I will no longer be working Tuesdays.
Dropping a day is not a decision that I took lightly. It will obviously have financial implications for me, plus now I have signed that change of conditions form, there is no going...
- I’ve Had Better Days: Part 2
The clocks have now gone back, I had a good night's sleep and have now settled down to blog the second installment of my Friday Frights, while Claire watches Liverpool play Spurs.
Where did we finish off last night? Oh yes, I had cleaned Neil Warnock and nursed him back to full, loud health. No idea...
