    Hi IA

    WB!!!!! yay.gifwas a very infrequent poster on your past diaries, but always read them. As you say debt can go up and down, when I posted before I was debt free, now after 5 months unemployed I have debt, it will go once I get a job, am not stressing about it, it is good debt at the moment as in interest free :D

    Love your tattoo, can I borrow you to come with me to get one, OH has his ex name on his arm, he says he will get it changed when I get one, I have intended to get one for 5 years but I'm a coward. I have even drawn a pic of what I want, but I need someone to hold my hand :D Don't think the money it is costing you is excessive, after all some people would spend that on a night out :eek: nothing to show for it but a headache and a nasty feeling that you might have done something you are ashamed of :rotfl:

    Love the update on the girls, when I first started reading your diaries you were pregnant with K so is a bit scarey to think she is talking ....where has all the time gone.......

    Anyways, lovely to see you back, just don't go away again xxxxxx

    I had the worst night ever last night... was awake but dozing about 3.30am when I felt something tickling my back. I thought it was my hair so kept brushing it away to get rid of the tickling. Eventually it went so I settled back down (lying on my front) when all of a sudden I felt something brush my face. I bricked it and started hitting the pillow and brushing the sheets off obviously thinking the worst when I heard something hit the floor. Sat up, turned the light on and after a bit of searching discovered a 'stunned and playing dead' spider on the floor...

    Cue me curled up in a ball sobbing while Ste crushed the bloody thing.... and me then lying in bed for the rest of the night bolt straight staring at the ceiling and jumping out of my skin at every little shadow....

    I am not that way about spiders, but moths that is another story.

    IA I am really glad you came back. The boards are not the same without your diary. Because you are honest etc. I think you have done amazingly well over the past 18 months or so, and you wouldn't be human if you didn't have a splurge. Personally any tatoo I would have would be alot smaller than that, but I think the meaning behind it is lovely.

    You rock girl. Sorry I am not in the uk to support your gig. Yep we made it to New Zealand! Maybe you can post a vid of it on you tube or something. I don't really understand how those things work, but I will have a go at accessing it if you upload your gig!

    someone sent me this today to my email... made me think of you!




    AS I LAY AWAKE!

    I lie awake waiting for you. As I lie on my bed,
    thinking of you, I feel this strong urge to grab you and squeeze you
    because I cannot forget last night. You came to me unexpectedly
    during my balmy and calm night and what happened in my bed still leaves a
    tingling sensation in me. You appeared from nowhere shamelessly and
    without any reservations.


    You laid on my naked body. You sensed my
    indifference so you applied your hungry mouth to me without any guilt
    or humiliation and you nearly drove me crazy while you drained me.



    Finally, I went to sleep.


    Today, I woke up and you were gone. I searched
    for you but to no avail. Only the sheets bore witness to last
    night's events. My body still bears marks of your enthusiastic
    ravishings...making it harder to forget you.



    Tonight, I will remain awake waiting for you...





















    ...you damn mosquito.
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....
