It's like looking in a mirror



I was reading the Metro website this morning and saw a picture of Cheryl Cole performing on this weekend's X-Factor.

It got me thinking.....I remember when she used to be a totally bad ass WWE wrestler...

Fun and Games



So, Liz and I still have 7 weeks until the final day at work the boredom has truely set in. And so in an effort to avoid our brains turning to goo we have decided to create a comprehensive guide to games you can make and play in the office.

GAME 1:Redundancy Draughts

Based entirely on the classic board game draughts except with a board made with materials you can find in the office.

To make Redundancy Draughts you will need:
The cardboard back of a A4 note pad
Scissors
Black and red marker pens.

Step 1: Measure and cut out a square from the card that is 8 inches by 8 inches. Marking each inch with a pencil.
Step 2: Draw in the squares. The squares should be 8 squares by 8. 64 squares.
Step 3: Using the black marker pen colour in alternative squares until you have a draughts board
Step 4: Using the rest of the card cut out 24 small circles. These are your counters. Colour 12 red and 12 black.

Redundancy draughts works best when played between opposite desks. The you can hide the fact you are actually playing a game by positioning the board behind your computers rather than actually doing any work.

ENJOY THE GAME!!!

There will be more games over the next few weeks. Tell your friends and spread the fun!
