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
- 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!

One can never have too many books. Or is that accessories?

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...I've got my own flat :j:j

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?The size of a glory hole in an open pit should not be greater than the cross-section of the haul trucks that dump into it. Otherwise, you are bound to lose a truck, sooner or later. Source: Sergio Cha

Totally with you on the books Sarah but think I am seriously deprived in the accessories area really never got it together with the accessorising thing

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
