4. What does your alcohol say about you?
Red wine drinkers are considered more relaxed, while spirit drinkers are often seen as confident and sexy, according to new research.

5. Venue of the week: Wilderness
Leaving the office after a week’s work, heading to Liverpool Street and hopping on a two-hour train journey to North-East Suffolk isn’t exactly what I picture as the ideal winter Friday night. Cold, tired and with the feeling of flu (Not man flu, that doesn’t exist) creeping in, sitting among commuters heading to a corner of the UK I’ve never been before to a place literally called Wilderness, they were going to have to work overtime to lift my grumpy spirits.
6. Competition: Be a workplace hero
Every office has a hero. The unsung – and all too often un-thanked – person who makes every day just a little bit better. To celebrate them and their contribution, Nestlé Professional® is offering readers the chance to win everything they need to become a workplace hero with £1,000 worth of KITKAT® and NESCAFÉ® AZERA® coffee.

Brits are expected to spend tens of thousands of pounds because of FOMO, or the Fear of Missing Out, according to new research. The study was carried out by Broadbandchoices, examining the nation’s spending habits and how the fear of missing something spectacular can lead to us spending more than we really should.
9. Will you give your desk the festive treatment?
British workers are embracing the festive season and all that comes with it, according to new research. A survey by interiors etailer Furniture123.co.uk has revealed that the British workforce is prepared to kit out their desks and offices in style this Christmas, and many have already.
