One of the managers just walked past my desk wearing a toga and a laurel wreath.... *reaches for the brain bleach*

Another manager is dressed as a rocker, yet another as Jean Paul Gaultier and one of the supervisors on my department is dressed as a clown very reminiscent of Stephen King's 'It'....

I just had my monthly appraisal with my own supervisor, who's wearing a nun's wimple.

Don't you just love Red Nose Day?

Rowan had the option of wearing pajamas to school today, but the silly sausage refused. And he doesn't own a red t-shirt, so he ended up going in his uniform. At least he's got his red nose. Me, I'm in my one decent red top - so I'm actually showing a small amount of cleavage today *shock!*

My department are off to the bowling alley after work this afternoon - I can go along too as Rowan's playing at a friend's house. A new kid started at the school a few weeks ago, and his parents are systematically inviting all his classmates to play on a friday afternoon - probably a very smart idea. I'm not sure what they're going to be like though - Isaac's mum says Nat's mum's rather loud-spoken, and they have a foreign au pair! This is very unusual in Cardiff, particuarly near Rowan's school which is full of student housing for the nearby university.

Not sure what we're doing this weekend - Mam wants to go car-hunting *waves flag in mock-enthusiasm* and Sunday is Mother's Day so I have Rowan home with me. Might take him out if I can afford it, but NTL/Virgin/Whatever haven't taken my direct debit yet so I don't know how much I actually have in my account. Collecting half my back-subscription from Kristian's comic shop on Wednesday didn't help much.

Can finally calm down about Comic Relief Does Fame Academy as Colin Murray got expelled in the semi-final last night, as did Shaun 'Barry from Eastenders' Williamson. That leaves Trisha Penrose and Tara Palmer-Tompkinson in the final tonight...somehow I think Tara's going to win on grounds of 'most entertaining/best improvement' even though Trish is a much, much better singer. Ah well...

Red Nose days sounds like something I could get into. :D

Hee - it's actually 'Comic Relief' (www.bbc.co.uk/rednoseday), but since one of the mainstays of the campaign is a special red nose you can buy.... *grins*

It's a night of comedy (some of it somewhat dubious in my opinion) in order to get people to pledge money. It's only every two years, and I love the 'Comic Relief Does Fame Academy' (www.bbc.co.uk/fameacademy) celebrity singing competition.

Funny you should say that, when I was riding home from work the other day I saw a gaggle of girls standing at the tram stop and they were all wearing togas and what i assume were laurel wreathes. I assume it was a uni thing, but I could be wrong.

*ponders*

Go cleavage!

Yes, I can see how that would be alarming.

*shudders with you*
