    Cakes and biscuits by the fax machine (again)

    Seeing as I'm another year older I've just purchased some cakes for the team here.

    As a contractor - if/when you make such gestures what is an acceptable spend? I got Thorntons brownies and a tub of Gu 'millionaires flapjacks'

    Perhaps next year I should get something imported from La Bonboniere...

    Please can the Richerthanthou's start outdoing each other

        I make my own truffles and individually wrap them. Obviously.

        Or - never tell anyone when my bday is as it's none of their effing business in the first place, the greedy tossers.
        Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

          Why not get a big box of broken biscuits from the cash and carry? Delicious, and saves money too!

          (then get yourself something from Fortnum and Mason and declare that as business expenses)

                    Some appear to think that my facebook birthday is the real deal
                    That would be me
