  • Hi mrscmr

    Good luck with the bank tomorrow.

    My Ebay has been slow, really need to get some motivation. I need to sort my office out as I can't move in here.

    tmd: my office is actually very very tidy... however the rest of the house looks like we have been burgled... clearly we havent... well im assuming not!!!

    @happytoget.... atkins... 55 pounds... omg x 2. well tbh i have been a bit too friendly with chocolate croissants over the last few mnths... oh and bacon frazzles ... always my down fall. i would be very happy to be 28 pounds less... but seem to resemble a 'little miss' with a round fat tummy at the moment :-(. oh yeah something really iky today... i will whisper incase any men folk listening in.. but i was walking up to someone in new office [a bloke type person - late 40's] he clearly looking me up n down and up n down. to the point i feel v uncomfortable... beleive me - i not like that sort of thing... why does that happen? is it really necessary?

    another odd thing... believe me my life full of odd things.... remember when CB radios were all the rage and people would drive around with massive aerials on their cars? then for years... we dont see anything like that.. welll today i saw a car with most huge enormous aerials on ... mad CB'er i guess. funny to see though!
