Morning everyone!

Wow, I've finally caught up since yesterday avo. Thanks to everyone for your support regarding the job I've just left - it must be the right decision cos everyone I've spoken to has said that I've done the right thing.

Littlegibbon and galant - congratulations on you weight loss.
Serena - hope DD feels better soon and that you manage to catch up on the sleep you've been missing too.
G&B - good luck with the exam and I forgot to congratulate you on your last set of marks the other week, so well done! If you are getting marks like that I'm sure you'll sail through this exam.
Summermoon - good luck with giving up smoking - it'll be really nice for you to move into your new house and start afresh.

Talking of new houses, OH and I went over to ours to check that the agents had cleaned the place properly after the last tenants were in, and it was disgraceful - the toilet was just yuck, and there was even melted cheese all over the shelves inside the oven! Have sent OH off with a list of all of the faults which he hadn't noticed, and he's going to give them a call. I also suggested that he told them he was leaving as that's 3 lots of tenants that have left the place in a state, and the agency haven't been checking on them. There's no way after the amount of time and money we've spent on doing up the flat that I want that getting in the same state!

Anyway, I did do lots of flying yesterday I promise - I did 3 massive loads of washing, and there is now only one washing mountain on the kitchen floor. I also went to body balance at the gym (macaw done) but was totally shattered afterwards and needed a sleep in the afternoon. Then I went round to the house, then to Homebase to look for bedlinen and paints, before making sausage pie with baked beans for dinner.

I'm going to go to Salsa aerobics today at 11.30-12.15 and will have a shower there. Having my hair cut at 5pm (model cut at Toni & Guy) so will probably be there for hours - took 3 last time, and as I don't have a kid's room or spare room here, I'm going to catch up with the parts of the kitchen I didn't do yesterday.

Off to find some breakfast now, so will be on here in a bit to announce a HHC if anyone is interested in joining me - not sure what time yet, but look out for it, as it's much more motivating if I'm not the only one.

Bye for now,

sexymouse xx

:hello:Morning all! Feeling a bit depressed at the moment Very tired because I've be playing on the Xbox but it just seems more interesting than anything else. House is a mess because I've been avoiding it. I'm fat like a huge house as I can't stop eating and do no exercise. And hubby isn't happy with me as I keep pushing him away and trying to avoid any of those "marital duties" which is bad as he feels unwanted. I just don't know what's wrong with me! I've been depressed in the past but I really don't want to go back onto anti-ds as I hate the side effects and coming off them. Does St John's Wort work enough to pull me back up again?

Sorry to moan on here, got nowhere else I can do Anyway need to go and have a shower to try and feel even half human, then I need to see to the lounge as someone is visiting this morning. *sigh*

SummerMoon

I'm off to get dressed, then going to post office and into the shopping centre for some bits.

Will get started when i get back.

wish me luck going to the shops and NOT buying ciggies!

Hi all,
Freezing here too, but heating is on and I'm nice and warm now (I HATE the cold, I end up curled in a corner not being able to move)...

Hi Johanne, good to see you back...

Good luck with the exam G&B, fingers crossed for you...

I have just got a hire car from the insurance to see me through until they send the cheque for my car and it clears (about a week I think) and I'm in love... It's not going back, I'm keeping it... so there...

The guy knocked on the door and I was amazed - they've sent me a 57 reg VW passat - push button ignition, push button handbrake, it's really smooth and sleek and no rust like my little tin bucket (I had a T reg vectra) and it's clean and lovely and I haven't even driven it yet! (and it was all warm inside when I got in, no ice!)

I said to the guy when he came 'Ooooh, that's bigger than I expected' ...........typical punchlines to that can be posted here................ :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
