    :T Squizz, OH has some I am going to pop them in the microwave now although I will have to just sit still with them on as they make you have feet like a Cyberman they are so heavy:D

    I am sick of figures and budgets I dont know why I bother acutally cause its only me that gives a flock about it.

    :rotfl: I can just see you stomping about the house in them.

    Know the feeling re budgets - but it is worth the hassle in the end I guess.

    Workmate has just asked me why I'm not going on night out with them tonight (big restaurant meal and then on for drinks elsewhere).. said I was skint and got the "but we've just been paid" reply... :mad:

  • Morning all last day of what has been a rather rubbish half term!

    Snaggles many hugs for everythingxxxxx

    just found out that I have 19.90 taken off my account by the charming actually I guess I shouldn't put their name but any how I phoned to get a refund and the woman eventually said yes but I have no reference number so I guess I will have to pursue it further.......

    in future I will make my own flaming "business cards"

    see you all later

    xxxxxxxx
    Nevertheless she persisted.

    Thanks everyone SO much xxx I appreciate it more than you can possibly imagine.

    I am slowly calming down and putting things in perspective:

    a) it's unlikely to be heart disease because I may be a bit 'curvy' :rolleyes: but I exercise, I don't smoke, only drink when I'm partying and I don't eat red meat. My blood pressure and pulse were okay, and my heart sounded fine when the doctor listened to it (but of course, it wasn't doing the weird stuff at that moment).

    b) I might be newly single, but I have an already pretty amicable relationship with a man I still love and respect.

    c) I still have my home (budget is a bit scary tho....lol), a job and a car (did I mention I bought a car yesterday?).

    d) I have truly the best friends a girl could ever have - you know who you are....and if you're not sure if I mean you, I DO!

    e) And most importantly I have 2 amazing children, and I'll get through this because I have to, for them.

    And on a lighter note, as I have put such a downer on the thread today :o does the halloween banner at the top of the page remind anyone else of jaffa cakes??? :cool:
