Magic - The Truth Is Out

MR (aka Magic) has eventually come clean about his trip to Paris for St. Valentines - all bluff, not a word of truth about it! A few of the ladies were drawn in and indeed told the story on but the rest of us knew what was happening. They revel in a good old fashioned love story. Ah well, maybe next year!

Madeleine McCann

The story has faded away in many people's memories but it is important not to forget about this little girl. Please keep Madeleine in your thoughts and prayers. And please – remain vigilant. [www.findmadeleine.com]

First Snowman Of The Winter

Chlo, Em, Carol and me built our first snowman of the winter today. The snow finally did come in good measure this morning. We decided to build a monster one so that it would hang aound for a day or two.
Another great result for United today again to go back to the summit of the Premiership. Ryan Giggs also set another record by scoring in every Premier League season - brilliant! West Ham 0-1 United.

Today's Tea Room Topic

I am sure our workplace is no different to many others. The staff room, or tea room as we call it, often throws up an interesting discussion or debate over the lunch break. I will regularly update you on our Tea Room Topic - today the question on everyone's lips: "Is there life on Mars?". As you know there are many highly qualified indiviuals out there who are working hard on the answer so I will not bore you with our thoughts but needless to say there were many variations on the subject!

Cavanacaw Residents Group

An issue that has been in the news recently concerns a mining company and the disregard it has for the local community. You can read more about the story on their new website and e-mail them with support. [www.cavanacawresidents.org]

February - A Strange Month

It is 10.30 am and I am looking out of my office window into the entry and it is as dark as night! February is cold - we think winter should be well through but winter is definitely still here in February.
February is quiet - after the hustle and bustle of December and January things settle down in the second month of the year.
February is short - the shortest month but still pay day doesn't come quick enough!
February is competitive - Premier league, Champions League and FA Cup all start to get very serious. At the end of the month a clearer picture will form....
February is work - our financial year finishes on the last day which means there is a lot to be done.
February is strange - but I like February!!

It's Snow Joke

First of all - hard luck the Toffees on Saturday evening - United 1-0 Everton. We should have had two penalties (and probably should have conceded one as well!) but ground out another hard fought 1-0 win. I just love Park's face when he gets booked - 'who me Ref, no way!'. Some parts of the country are getting snow but Omagh is still clear of the white stuff for the time being. The Sale continues with more reductions so there is now lots of garments at ridiculous prices.
