March Madness

Why does everyone assume that we spend most of March quietly drinking coffee and filing our nails in preparation for the Wedding Season?
March brings our financial year end, and pressure to hit those target, as well as staff appraisals to see who will be getting the hoped-for above-inflation pay rise this April. To add to that we have the AGM coming up.
Staff admin and finances aside, March also brings the deadline for the North Oxfordshire Guide - our strongest performing Guide and the one I keep the closest eye on. It is showing some interesting trends. Where have all these bridal gown retailers appeared from?
Drinking coffee and filing nails? I don't think so. If only I hadn't given up Gin for Lent.
