    ooooh, yeah, well i forgot to say what my most useful thing was..........

    erm, probably the spending diary website... www.spendingdiary.com it changed my habits totally!!!

    and i'm in on the clothes challenge to spend £100 in a year on clothes, i have £67 left for the year... !

    D'ya know that £100 clothes challenge really horrifies me. Okay I haven't personally been in debt for a couple of years but still, my spending on clothes the last few years has been shocking. My job contributed a lot to that but not all. Trying really hard to cut it down this year.

    Positive thought today....it's still sunny and warm - day three :T

    I am allergic to soya so I have to be really careful about what I do eat. I spent 8 days in hospital a couple of years ago after someone fed me wheat free pasta (which is made from soy) and since then even going into a place like wagamamas and breathing in the soy filled air makes me ill. So, I battle with that a bit.

    Gosh, that's a really dramatic reaction Toto, I really feel for you. Totally get what you're saying about 'feeling big' too - in my head I'm still the size 8 I was for years so being a 12-verging-on-a-14-in-places feels strange and not entirely comfortable.

    Good morning peeps. Re the posting - one of the reasons I lurk is because I tend to think - 'Who will be interested in what I've got to say ?' I am lucky enough not to be in debt- altho have struggled in the past- but come on here because I love the 'craic' and all the lovely people who make me laugh every day without fail. Mwahhhhh XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXxx

    It's a pity Pap isn't around much any more, I bet she would have known that.

    (Come out Pap if you're lurking, lol!)

    Am not sure if they're the cheapest but I've had some good prices from The Ink Factory site - you get cashback via Quidco for them as well - http://www.quidco.com/the-ink-factory/

    I dont mind the conversation turning to whatever it stumbles on, I just like to come on here and have a chat about life, love, problems, funny things and sometimes downright insane ramblings (see yesterday)................

    There really is something for everyone here, we were all newbies once and I for one just kept on posting my ramblings. I have met some people here who I will be friends for life with, now thats got to be worth sticking around for

    And they didnt charge me:D :rotfl:

    Just keep posting.........:cool:

    You mean you'd pay us to be your friend :T :D

    I dont mind subject matter either. I often just lurk, if its something I know nowt about :rolleyes:

    I'm a *little* bit pleased Spud, yes! :j :j :D:D

    Lou - hope today goes well x

    Bunny - have a better day today sweetie :kiss:

    Toto - I totally 'get' it, but you're gorgeous hon - you have nothing to worry about.

    I'm a bit guilty of chattering about running on here too, but that's because if I've had a good run (or a bad one), the people I want to tell about it are all on here. But please don't anyone be put off, just dive in with a random change of topic. :D

    Helloooooo Triker - long time no 'see' :wave:
