Some junior folk in my office arranged for a brilliant £200k freebie for me to fix up my pad (no crappy £30k annual grant for me) and then, when that fund didn't work out, they forgot to mention it and watched me carry on spending the £200k! Amazing eh? Can't get the staff.
And honestly, I was so busy personally vaccinating people at that time that, as the golden rolls of wallpaper went up around me, and my world became a whirlwind of garish pattern, it never occurred to me to double-check that it was still all free and now it turns out it wasn't!
Can you imagine? It's well known I'm short of cash. And who in their right mind would want GOLD wallpaper if they were having to pay for it themselves?
Now I've had to "cover the costs" myself (don't ask!) which - who knows? - might mean I do end up out of pocket unless some new scheme can be devised to reimburse me, and I've had to appoint a chap to report to me on my absolute innocence in all this. Total 'mare.
