    Bathgatebuyer - that is horrible! I am the same, I hate raised voices and arguing (one of the many reasons I hate reality TV shows). I am also pretty sensitive to criticism and that would really have upset me as well. :mad:

    I hope you have a better day tomorrow!
    I've got my own flat :j:j

    Now I have to pay the bills :eek:

    And feed my interiors addiction ;)

    Hi everybody :hello:

    Sounds like some of you have had rubbish days, bathgate I understand how you feel. I am told I come accross as confident because I am quite chatty but I can't bear being criticised, especially in front of other people

    My day was not too bad, just really busy. Only just got home so no gym for me :o - am defo gonna go tomorrow. Mind you, so busy this afternoon that I got no time for snacking, actually I didn't even think about it!

    Just watching Corrie - can't resist, it's my favourite, then a nice early nite for me x

    :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 :(

    Absolutely!!! Books and accessories are vital possessions!! Do you know I have a friend who THROWS books away???!!!! I've been on holiday with her and rescued more than you can count from the bin :eek:

    I wouldn't worry Mags, you're not alone in this. I had a service which I cancelled at beginning of May. They mistakenly took the payment in May and I rang them straightaway and I got it back. They did the same in June but I still haven't rung them about it! I'm such a procastinator.

    I'm also really forgetful and seriously need that book that Susu was recommending as went to two shopping expeditions over weekend and failed on each occasion to buy a birthday card for my Dad. Finally remembered today only because I actually wrote a list and put it on it...when I remembered...

    Bleurgh... I'm hungover and had two arguments with the ex, now she's blocked me on FB and it looks like I won't see her before I go back to Oz... how do I manage this?

    Oooo noo, never throw books away, where I used live a few years ago they had a whole area at the local tip, just for books :eek: , great for a rummage through though, on the v.rare occassion I have given books away I've taken them to my local library, sort of feels reassuring that they'll get some use again IYSWIM :p
