    Hi all, I wasn't having a good day so thought [EMAIL="I@d"]I@d[/EMAIL] look on here for a bit. Sorry, Tilly about you OH. Looked at that thread, horrible, people are so quick to make judgements and be nasty. Glad I found you lot, not nasty and horrible. Having done the budget and the plan how do you put it into action? Everything is for monthly and I get paid weekly in cash. Can't get my head round that at moment. Help am getting confussed and KERFUDDLED! BLIMEY I thought I was the only one to still say that.

    Hi Ebbs, looks like only me and you on here for now! I've had to get my finger out and do some work cos my appraisal has been bumped up to this Thursday, was supposed to be next Tues :eek: Won't make much difference, doubt there will be pay-rises this year!

    I am starving and have resorted to eating dry shreddies (forgot my milk this morn) and the canteen is closed - am in need of some chocolate :D
  • Sorry Tilly about your OH! Shocker or what? I am out of work, been made redundant and still not found anything. Will have to temp soon if I cant find a FT job soon. Such hard work interviewing.

    Glad I found this thread. Love the title.

    Yeah, where IS rosered?! Not like her to be absent for so long...

    Am soooo hungry. Trying to be good this week so lunch today was beans on toast and dinner tonight will be veggies and brown rice (again).
    My flatmate is having her new fella round tonight for dinner and we have a tiny flat so it's impossible for one of us to entertain without the other being in the way unless you hide out in your room...which is what I'll be doing tonight. This means I'll have my healthy dinner then have to disappear to my room to watch TV. Reeeeally wish I could afford my own place but...well, just check my signature to see why I can't! :o

    Tasha - please post blonde pics asap. I want to ogle your lovely new hair seeing as mine is too far gone down the black-dye road to ever be any lighter! :rotfl:

    Hah been there my friend - the worst bit is when the couple *ahem* go to bed :eek:

    If you lived near me I'd suggest we could go out for a drink (soda and lime, obviously) therefore keeping you out of your flat and me away from the shops! (I'm supposed to be going with my new housemate to Lidl but I think I prefer Asda :o)

    Ah Ebs you're sweet! Where do you live then (without giving it all away online obviously!)?
    Well, I've eaten my dinner and cleared out of the lounge. The boyfriend is about to arrive and flatmate is flitting about nervously cooking A Special Dinner while listening to Counting Crows (90's angst rock). Meh, I'm just jealous. She's in the first flush of a so-far-wonderful relationship with her perfect man whereas I'm all jaded from my recent break up. Actually I'm geniunely happy for her, she's a lovely girl.

    So here I am, settled in with Holby, the laptop, iTunes open to update the pod and some Munchies (needed a treat!).

    Hope all Blondie ladies (and the mysteriously absent Blondie) are having a lovely evening. :D

    Oooh, Blondie you are keeping us all in suspense! :rotfl:
