    Hiya lovelies, :wave:

    Sorry I've been awol - there's been alot going on , and then they put one of my posts in the weekly email so I've been kept busy replying to everyone's lovely messages on there.

    News wise My boss at my main job has let me go. :( I still get paid until the end of the month though, so that's something. Times are tough for mortgage brokers and he says he feels horrible but he just can't afford to pay for my services any more.

    So NSDs have become more important than ever - although I am definitely having irrational spending urges, probably due to feeling a little bit fed up.

    Right now I'm fighting the urge to go and buy a nice big bar of fruit and nut.... :o:D

    Love Jacks xxx :D

    I've managed it! (so far, still got to get home....) spent ages waiting for someone to do the tea run - only costs 20p but still counts! Finally got one at 4.30pm.
  • Rubbish day at work drove me to spend £1.77 on a big bag of crisps and 2 big bars of chocolate in Lidl - I hate my job

    Jacks hun, fingers crossed for you, kind of puts my whinging into perspective. Oh, and as an aside, the chocolate helped me a HUGE amount :D (even if it did ruin my nsd)
