    Hi Buffy

    Sorry to hear about fish and hamster's departure

    :grouphug: for you, hope you haven't spent your whole day off marking and have had time to do fun stuff as well.

    Oh Buffy,

    sorry about hamster & fish :( We still miss Fluffy (hamster not fish) she was such a great character. Will let you know if i decide to go 'foreign'; would make the clothes challenge so much easier ;)

  • Hi Buffy, just found your diary. Oops!

    Sounds like your break-up went a bit like mine did. I felt numb when I first found out. All my hopes and dreams shattered in one moment. Heartbreaking.

    I don't know about you, but once I had come to terms with it being over, I felt like a load had been lifted from my shoulders, and I was ready to face the world again after only a few days. I was happier with knowing the worst, than not knowing either way.

    Anyway, as you know there's loads of people there for you, which must be a massive comfort.

  • thanks Runmichellerunxxxx

    it is getting a bit better, work is a great occupier and I have enough plans at the moment to keep me going! xxx

    In the Plans news, I am going to

    1. Detox Saturday and Sunday (fruit,veg, little protein, water, no carbs)
    2. Start Weight watchers on Monday.
    3. Do my walking DVD AT LEAST three times a week next week.
    4. Go back to drinking diet coke ( even tho I love the real thing)
    5. write down everything I eat and use Whatsmy plate to work out what I need to sort out.i.e where the inbalance is (could that be chocolate!!)

    Im being very sad......or organised and doing my reviews for Qype, gd for you get out and have a good night out, because if anyone deserves it, you do.

  • You aren't being sad, you are making money - which is definitely what I should be doing!!

    turns out I have worked out my over payments all wrong.

    I could cry but since I am sitting downstairs and meant to be working out my meals I can't.

    I made the classic school boy error of not adding my interest.

    How !!!!ing stupid am I?

    any how I went to the snowball calulator, just to work out my CC debt and for the hell of it I put my loan in.

    cue misery and depression.

    any how it means I won't be debt free this year. And I so wanted it.

    I am going to have to think about it for a bit.
