And moving on...

OK I have had enough of moaning and groaning and bleeting and generally being a winger - enough is enough. It is time to be constructive and I need your help.

I would like ideas...

My team (I manage a Contact Centre with about 50 people) need a boost, we are really busy at the moment and they need cheering up. What lifts my teams spirits is doing stuff for charity, and they are really good at it.

We have done all sorts, including: pyjama days, leg waxing for boys, Movember, themed food days, themed clothes days, Guess whose the baby...etc

So I need an inspired suggestion - what can we do - whilst taking calls and sending emails..(I know, I am a horrible boss lady).

If I use your suggestion I will donate a third of the money raised to a charity of your choice. The other two charities I intend to donate to are Breast Cancer Care and Leukaemia Research (in light of my current predicament).

Really looking forward to your idea's!

42 - Yikes!

I am 42 on tuesday. 42 the answer to Life, the Universe and Everything (according to The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy)

How did that happen, my Mum and Dad were old when they were 42..weren't they?

Who else is 42....(Imagine a 5 minute pause here whilst I go off to Google. This would be the point where you go and make a cup of tea)

 

OK so it's 10 minutes later just consider yourself lucky I got bored by the letter N.

Benicio Del Toro (this is a good start)

Carrie Ann Moss (her that was Trinity in the Matrix) 

Emily Watson (world renowned British Actress - excellent)

Christopher Judge (Alien off Stargate - look it means something to me, keep your Sci fi geek comments to yourself)

Gordon Ramsey (but he looks so old...UGH)

Helen Chamberlain (she presents the Saturday football thingy on Sky 1)

Henry Cusick (plays the Scottish fella on Lost)

John Barrowman (He can do as much musical theatre as he likes, and he can keep telling himself he is Gay but he will always be Captain Jack to me!)

Kate Garraway (GMTV Lady who can't dance)

Kurt Cobain (well he would be if he was alive and I bet he would be cool, much cooler than being dead, anyway)

Kristen Johnston (From 3rd rock from the sun)

Laura Dern (Do you remember her in Blue Velvet?)

Les Ferdinand (Is he the one who was horrid to Ulrika, I am useless on celebrity gossip!)

Lisa Edelstein (Stern boss lady of House)

Matt LeBlanc (Nice but dim off Friends)

Moon Zappa (pretty sure she is the daughter of Frank)

Nicole Kidman (No explaination required)

Noel Gallagher (the more talented brother of Liam)

OK feel much better now - I am clearly in good company, apart from that Les fella and horrible Mr Ramsey (although his recipe for pannacotta is very good - the book was a present!)

Do you share a year with anyone exciting?
