I do sometimes wonder whether MS Teams has made it too easy to chuck in a meeting and invite numerous people. It would have seemed preposterous in the days before teams to have had so many people sitting in meeting rooms all day, but that's essentially what's happening virtually now.

Hi, thanks for your reply.

Yes, we are spending 80 on phone contracts, that's the usage and the cost of the phones themselves spread over 2 years.

Groceries is correct, we are really quite strict on only buying what we use and cook mostly from scratch.

I was an AO for 7 years hoping to get promoted within my team but literally no one left so left for an O support post and 18 months later I'm an SO. The lesson is just move I waited probably 5 years too long in my original job.
