Oh, my heavens, I am torn between being so relieved that I am not there right now and feeling incredibly guilty because the date sucks! I can't believe they wouldn't push back!!!!
I have ordered a slew of people to attend, including my hubby who has some strategic questions to ask that I've coached him on.
Also, let's get a quick coffee in the diary for 6 June-ish, if that works for you.
