    ta. hope you have managed a good day

    its been ok.... spent about an hour drooling over my new christmas card making kit i bought from qvc... (i dont drink much, smoke or go out so..) only £29 and a few pennies after cashback through quidco ;) And will give me hours of fun... and possibly be able to sell a few cards i make too hopefully ;) Oh and spent rest of the day feeling chuffed i got 4 packs of nappies for £10.06 today through offers and vouchers - should have been £15.88 so i saved £5.82!:D

    Oh and im happy i just made £1 total profit on ebay selling 3 items - every penny helps i suppose !! :rolleyes:


    HOW SAD IS MY LIFE???? Im only 22... i should be vomitting in a gutter somewhere right now after drinking too much blue vodka type stuff and only caring about how "fit" that last bloke i snogged in the pub was... not getting excited over nappy prices and card making whilst contemplating hot chocolate and bed! :o:o:o

    I did well with my list - but than I went to visit my mate who has had the most appalling treatment from her exH. And then has had shabby treatment since. I will not elaborate - not my story but nobody deserves what she has gone through.
    Had a nice walk -went for coffee (me) tea (her) and have checked where I go for blackberries - they look lush so I'm hoping to get some picked very soon...Bramble Jelly MMMMM Nyom nyom
    Have put house number on washed green bin (garden waste one) so I get my nicely washed bin back!
    Have done other jobs.
    Will find list in a bit - but DS was on Runescape...

    Somehow I don't think you'd be happier in a gutter - but then...

    I live on my own and think that's part of the problem with the lack of motivation etc.

    I live on my own too. I think it probably makes me extremely selfish, as I don't have to consider other people, and it makes it easy to leave things until I feel like doing them as it doesn't inconvenience anyone else! However, listening to Serena and Dusty today, I'm quite pleased I have my whole house to myself, and I'm not going to swap with either of them :D

    Living on your own will make it easier to get depressed though... so when you feel it coming on, either talk to a friend, or if no one is around, you know there's nearly always someone here... even if it is Valli talking to herself in the middle of the night :rotfl:

    Johanne - you may not think nappy prices and making cards are very glam, but trust me, you won't regret missing out the vomiting in a gutter stage of life! Just think of it as having grown up a bit faster than other people.

    And for the rest of you, this is what's been missing from your lives up until now... http://www.lakeland.co.uk/radiator-brush/F/keyword/radiator/product/21780 ... you can finally chase the spiders out of the radiators!

    Anyone else up at this daft hour? I'm waiting for a text from my boyfriend telling me he got back to Ireland safely, he was delayed nearly 2 hours for a 40 minute flight. I can't go and do something with the time either, my Dad is asleep (snoring loudly) in the next room and will kill me if i wake him up. Not literally of course.

    Oh and Johanne - I'm 18 and I don't vomit in gutters or drink blue vodka either. Orange vodka is muuuch nicer :rotfl: Although I'm much happier tucked up in bed to be honest lol!
