  • Spookily enough......I was cleaning the bath and I thought to myself 'I must google stardrops and see what they are all about' Still havent but will and report back if i try them. This is just the kind of thing I love about this place........the way my brain is being rewired!

    Just got back from walking the dog and buying the saturday night chocolate for x factor (mint matchmakers this week!)

    Have a good evening....and as an aside I think you should take a deep breath and post your debts. It certainly helps me seeing it everyday on screen!

  • Not the most earth shattering news but just another example of my changing mindset. Got in this evening and found i had 'nothing' for tea. Normally this would of meant one of two things.....trip to the chippy/takeaway or a trip to the corner shop for overpriced frozen junk.

    Today instead I have made...and eaten a lovely pasta bake, half a packet of macaroni, tin of ratatouille, bit of garlic, sugar and balsamic, topped with a small lump of cheddar loitering in the freezer. the best news is there is enough for the next two days lunches. Crazy, that at 37, I actually feel quiet pleased with myself!!

  • Feeling proper poorly today and grumpy to boot. So when I popped into the supermarket for a couple of bits I was really annoyed when it took 4 staff to sort out the persons in front of me bogof coding. You know the drill staff 1 looks at staff 2, calls staff 3, then staff 4 comes up and the story is retold again....:mad:

    So humped off to the kiosk to pay, muttering at how useless everyone was (I told you I was grumpy today!)

    Anyway......they forgot to scan the DVD I bought for DS's stocking!!!:j
    Wondered why my shop was so cheap! Divine justice me thinks.

    Hi ya .....

    Firstly i must apologise for not " acknowledging your posts :o ....

    What can i say :confused: .... I have read them ....and on the days that you " posted them " :o ....

    To be honest i think when you advised me to " take a deep breath and post your debts " it hit a "chord " and i backed off .... or .... more to the point ... .... I "did a runner " !!! ....... :rotfl: :o ....

    Anyway I have been " totting " everything up ...... and I will be adding my debts to my " sig " in the next couple of days idea.gif....

    Thank You ..... You have given me the " boot up the aris " that i really needed .... :D

  • Ok Take a big deep breath, a fag, and maybe a nip of brandy and spill all. You know you are in the best place to sort it. Good Luck Hun
