    Get over yourself and consider yourself kicked up the bottom.

    Bless, we're all feeling a bit the same hon, but soon spring will be here :T

    I know how the early months of the year can make you feel.

    It will get better.
    I spent the last week coughing and sneeezing all through my birthday.
    Probably the aftermath of a hectic Christmas in a new job, with new challenges (in a tough economic Climate).

    I'm sure that things will improve as the weather improves.
    I understand how you must feel about the new neighbours.
    You will feel better about it in time.
  • I'm loving the Blah description for Jan/Feb.

    This morning I was convinced it was a little lighter when I ventured out in the cold to get the car out of the garage. But then I saw the dashboard clock and realised I was 15 minutes later than usual leaving for work time!

    Your neighbours are probably hoping you won't ask them! Maybe it'll be something laughable like they prefered the wallpaper in the house nextdoor to yours or the house number nextdoor is their lucky number!

    Thank for all you lovely replies I would have replied early but haven't been able to sit down because of the big bruise on my bottom caused by GG :)

    Still feel blah but have just decided to get on with it :j

    Had a fab evening with god-daughter, couple of drinks turned into getting an Indian takeaway and playing board games till midnight with all my other god-children. One of them even turned of the X-box to join in

    Felt a lot happier this week as BF surprised me on Tuesday with card/roses/food & wine and stayed the night :eek: Quite a shock realizing how much impact just seeing him mid week had on my mood

    Done some shouting at work, not very professional but made me feel better

    Got paid with 8 hours OT so that will go into my empty saving account

    Drove car slightly over the speed limit and its lush, did wonder if I had been caught by the police would the excuse "Its new" have got me off

    Done a small amount of cleaning so need to crack on with that, mt wardrobe is empty and the bed in the spare room is covered in stuff that needs ironing

    Plus tomorrow is Friday :T so get to see BF

    Another weekend nearly over :(

    Have had quite a cheap weekend courtesy off Mr T, went to see The Muppet's, then Pizza Express for lunch, then met up with friends and went 10 pin bowling and then to another restaurant for tea (this was the only thing we had to pay for)

    So felt very full yesterday so eating light today

    Paid BF back the car loan, so he has spent that on new tyres for his car

    He had a house viewing yesterday, we let the EA do it, apparrently they really like it................................... not heard that before :)
    so we will wait until we hear any different

    BF mentioned sorting out the shed :eek: and if he manages to do it, he will probably throw out everything in there which I have been telling him for years :rotfl:

    Went wild in Mr T's and bought a bikini and sun dress, even though we haven't booked a holiday but thought its good to be prepared :D

    Went wild on Monday night

    I have took £7K (all the money minus what went on the car, saved over the last 2 years) out of my ISA and paid it off my mortgage

    Grand total left ........£2056.36 (before they add the interest)

    So now feel like a woman possessed :) must find extra money to pay the rest off ASAP
