Ok there are like, three things I want to say to you. First. Welcome
Second - the shoes are a necessity in life (so long as you can afford them) and don't worry about having places to wear them, wear them to the shops! Make you feel more glamorous!
Thirdly - You can do whatever you want to if you put your mind to it. I moved to london six months ago and love every minute of it, never look back I would say look into moving in with housemates or in a flatshare to start with and definatley make sure you get a job lined up first - the three months I was out of work weren't much fun - but then ENJOY! Any further wisdom I can off load just ask

Thanks hun, i really want to live in london its always been a dream of mine, but i dont know where to start plus i doubt i could afford it, i mean i pay my mum rent and stuff but not as much as id need to live in london on my own and the rest of my money goes on paying debts...argghhh its so annoying, i so do not want to be nearly 25 living at home but ill never be able to move out .

i need to stop shopping, and going to concerts (i owe my friend 500 just for bloomin concerts) im gonna stop now, although im going out on saturday and have nothing to wera.

i am so shallow this is so bad.

Princess you sound like me a year ago sweetness It's easy done, to keep on buying shoes.... I bought three pairs in the January sale :eek:

Moving to London doesn't have to be all that expensive - look on Gumtree for flatshares and stuff - no obligation, just to get an idea of price. I bet you'll be tempted.

What do you do for a living? Is it a job you could transfer down to London?

Well jealous of that bloke at your work!! Mind you, you have to play to win... so!

I know but the guy is minted anyway he so doesnt need it!! No fair.

I work at an electrical wholesalers we have branches in london so if a job goes up there i could go for a transfer im also a part time model so living in london would be so beneficial for me that way. I guess im scared ive never lived out of home and the idea is so scary, but i dont want to wake up and be 60 years old still single still living in the scuztown and still single. Oh well at least ill have nice shoes....

I seriously need to stop with the shoe obsession i might cut off my feet thatll show them *ouch* x

Blimey that's a bit drastic hun, feet are important for walking and stuff!

How old are you? Most people stay at home well into their twenties, if you've got it okay then that's fine. Personally I moved out when I was 17 but then I'm a bit of an odd ball :rotfl:

Being single isn't all bad either - get out and play the field! plenty of time to settle down. I think I might wait for a toyboy like Rosered!

Hellooo good afternoon,

I made scones this morning, my first ever scones they went very well I must say (but I forgot to put the sultanas in ) There's plenty left over for when you all run out of biscuits

I went shopping with my Mum today but I spend so much time clicking around this website that I couldn't bring myself to buy anything!!! I was like "ooo that's nice no I don't need it" "wow I like that no I don't need it" Hmph. So I will spend my bingo winnings on paying my credit card off.

Good news about the interview Blondie! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you xx

Oh and by the way for those of you on onepoll.com, there's a 20p survey for us crazy cat ladies!

Lauren - i love bingo! All the old ladies sneaking drinks in and glaring at you if you shout 'full house'. They all have about 2 million cards going at the same time!

Ha ha! I've only ever played 'in real life' once, but I sat in someone's lucky seat - apparently, all the regulars have their seats - and nearly got beaten up! She was about 80, waving her handbag and bloody furious. I've never dared go back :rotfl:

Great news about the interview, good luck.

I've done that survey too Catherine - my boys love takeaway leftovers. Branston likes yoghurt, Pickle likes garlic bread and chinese chips - not chip shop or pizza shop though, has to be chinese. I suspect they hang around the back of our local Indian restaurant too - Pickle once came home covered in something that looked suspiciously like tikka masala sauce. I made the hubby wash him down that time ha ha

My husband's work syndicate (10 of them) won a couple of million a few years back - before he worked there :rolleyes: They all still work though, you've never seen a primary school car park like it - mercs, jags, sports cars - then our battered nissan micra :rotfl: the shame!

Oh how annoying is that!! Kicking yourself you didn't get there quick enough.

I used to be on the synd at my last office and we never won a penny. Then when I left they won £60 but ploughed it straight back into the kitty for the next tickets... I decided it had been a waste of my money and time and have never bothered since!

My cats are also partial about chips. Mike will only eat McDonalds chips and Phillip wants nothing to do with anything potatoey at all.
Mike will eat everything though - he ate a dead spider yesterday and washed it down with a sliced mushroom he nicked off my plate with that special stealth only cats have!

Do Branston and Pickle like pickle?

And I wander if Marmite likes marmite? Hmmmm
