I've forewarned the lads I work with that I'll be doing reduced hours on Tuesdays and Wednesdays throughout January. I've also told Mrs Gaddafi we need to have a serious chat about January as a whole, and that I'll basically be free on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays.

She shook her head, said "I'm going to work" and left. I'm sure she'll be fine, she's probably just excited about the whole thing and doesn't know how to show it. Fascinating creatures, women.
