    Hi Blondie!

    Phew! - glad you're not cross with me. Am just concerned for what's good for you and what will make you happy. I am going to keep everything crossed for you for your interview tommorrow. Sending you positive thoughts. Stay cool and come back and tell us you have got the job. That is your mission should you choose to accept it.:rotfl:

    Loopy - love and congratulations on your new bouncing baby daisy! xxx

    PS - I have a thumbs down symbol above my post - arghh - how did that get there!

    PASS ME A FISH FINGER SANDWICH!!!! (Sandwich of the gods)

    Luv you rosered xxxx

    Laura - i have never been on a spa day...one day when i am rich and thin i shall 'spa' all the time. Walk around in a robe all day and high heels, get facials and talk about my non existent cellulite! (this is a dream by the way)

    One thing i do want to do when im rich is visit one of those 'boot camp' weekends where they make you eat grass and dirt and bath in a freezing lake to help you lose weight.! LOL You come back home all Lara Croft like and energetic!

    I had a lovely day today while i was in London that i didnt have time to tell you all about earlier. I visited Hamleys toy store in regent street and had a look at all the teddies. Cheapest thing in there was about 3 million pounds so didnt buy anything but had a lovely time. The recruitment agent i went to see was lovely too, she told me about a job that sounds very exciting, so fingers crossed i might get an interview for it.

    When i came home though i had a bit of a shock. I had a letter from a man who i had a car accident with in October. He was on his bike and i clipped his back wheel and knocked him off. Felt really bad about the whole thing and was very sorry etc. Sparky told him to go through our insurance as he wanted £300 for a new bike! He sent me a really angry letter saying he expects a cheque in the post as its been 16 weeks. So im not sure what to do as we told him we didnt have the money to pay so to go through insurance?? He put he will seek further compensation, so to prevent it i better give him a cheque. Very worried.
    CC1 - £250 (PAID) :j :D
    CC2 - £2400 :mad:
    CC3 - £3200 :mad:
    I hate redundancy..it sucks. :mad:

    Arghh Blondie. Can't you hassle the insurance company to pay him asap?
    God, I don't know how I would get my hands on £300 (apart from putting my younghusband on the escort websites of-course ;) ).

    I hope you get it sorted - perhaps another thing to talk to CAB about.

    Hello - am new to your diary!

    Read the first three pages and skipped straight to the last as I am sooo impatient!

    Tell the old boy to go through your insurance, stick to your guns, and send his letter to the insurance people......

    Don't worry all will be A O K.

    To be honest- i've only been to a spa once- at centre parcs. It was very nice but I spent the whole time worried about how fat i looked next to my super skinny mate. (super super skinny she is) And communal changing areas for getting in and out of swim wear?:eek: :eek: wrong, just wrong. They did have big fluffy towels though! :D

    And as for the guy with the bike- what a jerk. Why can't he just wait for the insurance? What good does he think it will do to threaten you? :mad: I would just get on the case of your insurance company and explain that he is threatening further action if they don't get their bottoms into gear ASAP.

    Its just one thing after another for you isn't it? Your good luck has got to be just around the corner!
