  • Oh dear, bad luck! Me and my OH split up last night so thanks for the fore-warning about not kicking doors:p I had to go out for a drive with some very loud music on just to hold myself back from trying to kill him!:mad:

    I'm going to Mr T's on the way home from work to spend a LOT of money on cakes. I don't have the patience to bake. Tiffin squares will be my cake of choice I think, they are reaaaaalllllyyyyyyy nice. The cupcakes have inspired me!

    MNI Catherine & Dosy - Hope you're both ok(apart from the dislocated toe Dozy!), cakes are definitely the way to raise your spirits:D :D , even if it does raise the numbers on the scales too:rotfl:

    Dozy!!! So sorry to hear about your toe you poor thing! I hope he's got the last of his stuff now and won't be bothering you again.

    MNIC - sorry to hear you broke up with your OH last night!!! Are you ok?? Get involved with lots of cake RIGHT NOW.

    I had to send Mad XBF a final email yesterday asking him to stop emailing me and not to turn up to a party I'm putting on on Easter Sunday. He replied and apologised and said he was deleting my details and would never contact me again. He's said it before but I really hope he means it this time. I need to move on!

    Blondie - I hope you manage to find out the details of your interview! I was going to suggest calling to ask for nearest tube/directions to look uber keen and not a wally! Good luck with it.

    Got to go and spend money now on birthday presents for my friend's 2 children. Fortunately I've just noticed the GAP sale is on so I'm going to go and rummage for some bargains!

    Oh no, everyone is splitting up (well hopefully not everyone) - I'm so sad! Hope you feel better Dozy & MNI Catherine, men are great most of the time, until they break your heart! Hopefully be on the mend soon, and as for the toe Dozy - ouch!

    Tilly, cakes sound gorgeous but I cannot bake, I can cook but baking I cannot do, except for tiffen and truffles... mmm wonder if I have the ingredients at home....

    Ruby, have you tried to put a block on your ex's email address? Not sure how you do it, but sure it must work, although I have tried that with people's phone numbers on my mobile but unblocked it just to see if they've text! They never do, lol

    Is the sun shining for everyone else? It's lovely here, maybe not sunbathing weather but almost. I love the sun but dread exposing my white wobbly flesh :eek:
  • You have all cheered me up a lot with those messages - thanks :)

    I know I will be OK, I'm having a worried day today because first I get told I might lose my job, then my boyfriend says he wants to move out so I lose my home too!! Nightmare!

    But I am viewing this as an opportunity to start another life which is good. I'll be a true crazy cat lady - me and my 2 cats cooped up in my old bedroom at my parents' house! But at least I won't be depending on anyone else for my happiness!

    Ahh Rupe I lurrrve Angus Thongs and Perfect Snogging, is it wrong that i so totally think the main guy in it is hot? i think hes old enough for me to warrant that!

    Welcome to the newbies post ya pics so we can see how lovely you all are!

    Rosered thanks for the tip on the make up I so shoudlnt but im so gonna! i really want to get some mineral make up after you said how good it is and at those prices well itd be rude not to eh?

    What did everyone do last night I did a big spring clean of my warderobe which resulted in me throwing/ebaying/charity shopping most of my stuff away which means now i have hardly anything, why i bought all that rubbish i dont know ! im going away in 4 weeks so a primark trip is needed even though i so shouldnt. oh dear.

    I need some help girlies its my best friends bday soon and i dont know what to get her? i want to get her something special but obviously dont have a lot of cash to spare (especially as i forked out 150 to go away with her that weekend) any ideas? xxxx


    You could get your friend a silver or gold necklace - something simple like a star pendant. Won't cost much and she will have it forever x

    as long as you get freeview you can be cooped in your parents and they wont even notice you. Thats what i try to do! do you rent with your O/H or own it?

    Also what does DH mean?
