Irl cake day today for me. We are insanely busy at work so won't celebrate much until the weekend. EOFY is weird this year - weirder than normal and people are doing strange things with their money. Profitable for us, but I wonder at the fallout later on.

EDIT: thank you all so much - it makes a difference. My boys are calling me tonight, and I've just run away from work leaving my staff in charge for the rest of the day. If they can't cope, I didn't train them right. We'll be having work cake tomozz. This is a special birthday, as I am now OF PENSION AGE!!!! And eligible for ALL the discounts! So I can now threaten to retire if da boss gives me grief.

Happy birthday wonderful Witch of the Web! I hope work is smooth and uneventful for you and you've got some lovely warm goodies lined up for the weekend.

Happy birthday 🎉🥳

Maybe when people are finding money a bit tight they do try to get "deals" like buying EOFY discounts and trying to claim things on tax? Hopefully the contrast of busy now and relaxed later will make weekend celebrations even better?
