A COSMETICS manager said she was over the moon after enjoying a champagne dinner with her boss.

Christine Hughff, from Stockton, is a manager with Virgin Cosmetics, and was recently chosen to attend the dinner in London, hosted by company owner, Sir Richard Branson.

She said: "I am completely over the moon - it was a fantastic night.

"It wasn't long ago that I thought that it was almost impossible to have a good job and make sure my family came first. But here I am, dining with the boss at a five-star hotel as a thank you just for doing a job I love."
