    Hey everyone,

    I've been very good this week end & have only bought a loaf of bread, as I have only £3 :eek: in my purse I'm hoping this will get me through to friday :rotfl: . I've been feeling really angry & fed up the last couple of days & snarling at everyone, anyone got any tips for reducing pmt symptons ? Went for a walk in the woods with DD & the OF and came to the conclusion that I dont want a man... I want a dog :rolleyes: . Been considering the idea for a while as DD could do with a companion & we both like walking & exploring & as far as I'm aware dogs never say the wrong thing :confused: . We've been on the dogs trust website & of course we're now wondering how we're going to cope with the 300 or so that need homes. Not going to jump into this as obviously need to be a bit more stable financially & have the hol in august to get through first but it is a possibilty :)

    Must go update my spending now but will be back in a bit :D

    oh the memories of PMT :mad: :mad:

    dont have this anymore :D i get the wonderful injection and not a nasty period for three whole years come april. well its either that or i ended up in jail on a murder charge

    i left my dog at my parents as when i moved into this flat i wasnt allowed pets :( but shhh i have a fish lol

    iv said to my mates any night it aint raining im walking as you can always wrap up warm to protect against the cold

    i should really be in bed but cant sleep so now im up watching sex and the city not the film the episodes
    :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 :(

    Inky Cats - shoes are not included in the £100 clothes challenge so Sarah knows she's quite safe posting that here ;) .

    Eco - I too love walking & exploring & never feel unsafe in country as opposed to town where the mere sight of a group of teenage girls can be daunting :o . Was given a thermos for christmas & just itching to get on hilltop with it + DD & dog. Arent peole funny about safety, pre car & DD I used to cycle 4 miles to work along canal towpath avoiding van men, boy racers, exhaust fumes etc & enjoying scenery & fresh air , but was banned by my boss in case axe wielding psycho should appear in between ducks & weeds :rolleyes: .

    Going to watch a rom.com. now so will wish you lovely people good night & see you soon

    I just highlight the address bar of the site, press CTRL C, then CTRL V it to where I want to put the link - IYSWIM !

    They's probably a much snazzier way of doing it but works for me

    Clarkes - Beauty Sleep
    http://www.clarks.co.uk/find/OnSale-is-onsale/product-is-20317615

    Like those by the way - very much but none in my size :(

    Clarkes - Beauty Tea
    http://www.clarks.co.uk/find/keyword-is-beauty+tes/product-is-20328103

    Not so keen on those but only 'cos T bar shoes don't suit me

    Buffy I don't know what to say but...:grouphug: ... Men are horrid things! I'm sure he will have thought about you at some point but men are just not like women are they! I don't know whats gone on but I'd guess he's not feeling as :mad: as you so I wouldn't waste your time!!

    Yes you are Fcukin fabulous !! And don't forget it !!!


    RMR... I'm deffo going for no.3 aswell.
    At least you know he's not just after one thing! I bet he was lying there all night thinking of asking you to join him in bed. I know everyone's different but I reckon it means he like you. I've been having this 'thing' with my non-boyf for about 7 weeks now. It took about 4 weeks for us to kiss and we slept in the same house but different rooms 3 times but now we sleep in bed together. May sound wierd but coz I like him and think when I'm ready it may go somewhere I dont want to have s3x with him. I'd rather take it really slow and get to know him properly. He knows I've had 1 night stands so he could think I'm not interested in him, but it;s not that. I just have respect for him and I think forbidden man has respect for you by not asking you to his bed straight away.

    I've had a very good but random day today. Went to my sisters to look after her kids while she was at work and when I walked in she had her booty-call guy who turned up at 5am apparently. Anyways I didn;t know him from Adam but he ended up staying while my sister was at work and didn't leave till I took him home after my sister got back from work lol I took him with me to do recycling, made him brews and dinner and it was all wierd, like I'd known him for years lol Bizarre!

    I've 7 weeks now until Benidorm so serious gym/healthy eating starts this week. I think if I can just keep it up for 7 weeks then I'll feel totally fab on my hol and will be worth all the pain! DD's clubs at school start up again this week so I can fit gym in mon-fri :T (if I do it or not is another matter lol)

    Hope everyone has a great week !

    I was looking at taking a break somewhere just want to go for a 7 or 10 days.

    But when you go onto the "package" deal sites it's all the pricing geared towards 2 person room ocupancy :mad:

    I have no problem going on my own, when I was with my ex the only thing we used to do on holiday was travel there together, he'd go off & do all his active "stuff" & I'd find a quiet spot to sit & read.

    So if you come accross any good city break deals Sarah be sure to let us know.
