Must admit that I am in the hate camp - says she who is off to London in the morning for Neil's company do.

I love an informal night out with my old workmates - a meal, bottle of wine and a chingwag suits me down to the ground but his Christmas do is always very formal and really not my sort of thing, and then I feel terrible as his boss thinks it is a real treat for me

I genuinely appreciate the effort that they have gone to but it's just not me - happiest in my jeans and slippers, party frocks and heels are my idea of hell!!
