    I've reported my spammer. grrrr!

    as for the shopping, I'm thinking I can't buy ice cream or anything else frozen so that should keep my costs down a wee bit. that and the time restriction. It'll be like supermarket sweep!

    I'm still coffee free! I am still having pains in my side and tummy so I think that could be unrelated... oh dear. I did cheat and have a small glass of pepsi max last night. I guess I can have a little bit of caffeine as long as I don't become dependant on it like before.

    I've always thought it would be great fun to do a supermarket sweep, provided I could get out the biscuit aisle, that is :rotfl: Sorry, wasn't thinking frozen stuff - oops!

    Well done on the coffee, it is hard to give up, and hard to find a decent replacement drink that you like :rolleyes:

    Detox tea is doing it at the moment, or a nice cup of Earl Grey (note to self, add earl grey to the shopping list. but they're just not coffee are they... *sigh*

    lunch time me thinks...

    I'm not getting on great in here. My apathy is taking over and I can't afford that.

    KT.

    ps, see you after lunch!

    back from lunch,

    still can't be bothered. I have a meeting at 2 till 3 then finish at half 3 today. I get to rush home, quickly tidy up as best I can. have a shower and prettify myself as best I can too. i have an hour to do both those things and then OH comes over and we can just relax and not worry about anything.

    hopefully.

    KTjazz.

  • Hi Kt:hello:

    Sorry not posted for a while, I have promised myself I will post on your's and Piq's diaries more often!

    I want to tell you something I hope you will be pleased with...I have done two things off my "list to do before I'm 30":j I bought a book two xmas's ago called "2007 days out" and for ages had wanted to list all the places I want to visit in my area and the surrounding counties...done it now! Of course, now I actually have to go to them but still, it's a start!

    The other thing is getting my teeth whitened! :o Went to the dentist the other day and they are doing it at a very reasonable rate. Told mum about it and she has said she will pay for me to have it done in March as a birthday present! :j Very lucky I know and will make me feel extra confident for the wedding!

    Anyway, enough about me, how are you?

    Well done on giving up the coffee, am sure your body will feel a lot better for it.

    I hate coffee, or rather my body hates it, when i drink coffee or even have it in cofee cake it makes me dizzy, spaced out, feel sick and shaky and i have to lie down, plus i have stomach pains, as coffee produces too much acid in the stomach.

    Sounds like you have been stessed of late, so am hoping you have a great weekend and things calm down a bit for you.

    This has to be very very quick.

    I won't be able to get on here much during the day any more, all my updates will have to be evening as I have not been getting the best of reputations internet usage wise.

    I had a big work night out and someone mentioned it. I got upset and angry as the person in question is as bad as me or worse (well, was before she went off on maternty leave) Also, while she was pregnant I was doing both my job and hers and was working every weekend of overtime so implying I like a skive was unfair to say the least.

    I've decided that I should try to not come on during the day, not even on my breaks (which is what I used to do) as people obviously can't tell the difference.

    I'm upset, annoyed and will write more when I am not being watched and judged.

    KT.
