    Here's hoping! I want to be willowy and skinny but with these hips it is an impossibilty so I shall settle for having a flat stomach and clothes that fit.

    Hope you had a lovely xmas and new year and that the house is coming along nicely xxx

    Hey sarah welcome back to the world of the living, I don't know you go out for the day and things really move on on here.
    My trip to the coast didn't go well, but I'm looking on the positive side and I think it's cos I didn't give him the impression it was anything different from 2 old friends going out for the day, so that is something i have to work on, tbh I realised a while back I do that, but not quite sure how to put that right,.
    And really bid hugs to everyone who's had a carp time, we have to keep upbeat in the NY it'll soon be spring cos I'm totally peed off with the cold now

    Hey Eco - shame your trip wasn't what you had hoped. I'm no good at giving advice on moving a friendship into a romance but just trust in that you have done the right thing in giving it a go and 'getting out there' Sometimes these things move slowly?!

    Sarah - welcome back, real shame you had a rubbish week - hope things improve quickly!!!! The sales are still one and sometimes you get the very best bargains right at the end?! (that's what I'm hoping anyway!!)

    SuSu - Get well soon! Shame you missed the theatre!
    I've got my own flat :j:j

    Now I have to pay the bills :eek:

    And feed my interiors addiction ;)

    Well that's fantastic! :j I know it's hard but it will be gone before you know it and along the way it will start to feel managable. Hopefully getting under £20k will give you a boost and help you see the light at the end of the tunnel.

    thank you sarah

    iv read a lot of threads on this forum and i do realise my debt isnt as large as some but its huge to me but i know its going down and thats the main thing

    thank you again :T
    :mad: sometimes my debt panics me..... EVEN after 4 years or so.

    I will be free in less than three years with a trust deed - my only option as debt management was taking too long :(

    Hi All

    Back to work tomorrow, and normality! So time to really start the diet and get back to the gym. I agree with all those who have wardrobes full of fab, small clothes! I have the debts to prove I love fabulous clothes - and they don't even fit me! :o

    :sad: Why?

    Curvy is much sexier than skinny. I doubt I'd even notice a woman under a size 12

    In fact most if not all of the blokes I know think stick insect women are unattractive.
