Single and in Debt Part II

sarahb123_3

Just ripped my skirt at the hem when I stood up. I love this skirt. Grrrrr. It can be repaired but what a nuisance.

I have tidied the magazine rack and the bedside cabinet and taken 2 bags of rubbish to the bin. Now I need to hang up a pile of clothes and tidy under the mirror. Despite all this tidying I still can't find my ipod.

The clothes are hung up and under the mirror is tidy, now the floor needs hoovering again Might leave that until tomorrow.

I have also thrown out a couple of bottles of perfume I was using, I didn't much like them but have been using them as I was determined not to waste them and trying to be very MSE. But have decided life is too short not to wear lovely perfume so I have put them in the bin and only have my favourites left now.

Now I am going to tackle the sides of my bookcases which have all sorts of odds and ends stuffed between them and the shelf under my tv, then I think I will leave it for tonight and settle down to watch The Apprentice. :j

Hi all,
TDQ don't drink too much at the party or you might not remember all the details and we'll need to know.
Got this week off work so off walking tomorrow going to do pen-y-gent so then I'll have done all the 3 peaks.
Sarah have you looked behind the furniture for your ipod, it's amazing how stuff always turns up where you least expect it.
And makeup's fennel recipe looks really good and easy, anyone else got any fennel or pak choi recipes?

I can't believe I still haven't found it . I am searching for it as I go along but the last place I remember seeing it is on the bed which I have stripped and moved, am hoping it will turn up but if I don't find it soon I will replace it from my overtime money as it is not hugely expensive, I only had the smallest, cheapest one.

Have done under the tv and between the bookcases, have hastily shoved a few things in drawers for now but I will declutter those later in the week. It is looking a lot better in here now.:j

Evening all
Am extremely impressed by all the tidying and decluttering Sarahb... can you come do my house when you're done?? Hope you find the ipod soon :rolleyes: I do hate house gremlins that hide stuff like that.. I always get so frustrated tearing around ripping the place to shreds trying to find something.. grrrr
Got paid today... which is obviously great but am not feeling very motivated about my DF mission and really want to go shopping, desperately need new wedges....
TDQO... we can't wait to hear all the details... go boy!!!

Hi everybody

Wow Sarah, you've done so much! If I'm not at work I end up sat in front of the laptop half the time - v.bad.

makeup - That's hilarious - I think I too will die in a house fire as my house is just full of newspapers and magazines. I cleared loads out two weeks ago and now have another big pile already!

I've not had such a good day today. I feel carp. I'm not even sure why. It's not like I was seeing him for very long. I keep checking my phone for a 'I'm sorry, I made a mistake' text. I'm not even sure I want one. I think more than anything I'm just hurt. I'd texted him that afternoon asking if we could meet up for a drink or something and talk because I knew things weren't good. I was trying to reach out to talk to him and he didn't want to know, instead I got a phone call saying he didn't want to see me anymore. I think that's what's upsetting me. I reached out to him and he just ditched me. But all in all, it's just stupid, because I wasn't seeing him for very long and wasn't even sure he was right for me, so why am I this bothered? Grrr

Now my Dad's on the email chat thingy, so no doubt my mood will only get worse..

Oh well, it will get better, it will all get better. There must be a gorgeous fella out there just waiting to sweep me off my feet and be there for me and me for him. In the meantime, there's Desperate Housewives and MSE to cheer me up.

Hey Sarah - I seem to have a bizarre bermuda triangle in my bedroom too. I've lost a few things - not as precious as an ipod - but really annoying things like 2 rechargeable batteries and a memory card reader. But I'm so sad that I refuse to buy new ones as I know they are somewhere!!! It will show up though, I thought I'd left a pair of gold shoes in a hotel last year and months and months later I found the darned things hidden in my shoe tidy. I was fuming and happy at the same time!!

Gwen - these first few days are going to be tough and I can totally see why you were hurt. Onwards and upwards - and all that nonsense. Keep the faith! I'm watching DH for the first time in ages..I'd forgotten they did that time leap thing.... is Edie dead???

I'm really stressed about work at the moment, something happened today which was so annoying and I was sooo angry. I'm normally pretty chilled out and I normally manage to be polite and friendly with everyone I deal with but I was so close to losing it!!!! I've organised something for tomoroow but I'm not sure its gonna work out....aargh - bring on the weekend.

I got an unexpected invite from a friend of a friend to join a girls night out of dinner and then dancing. I'm so glad to have fun plans to look forward to.

I hope everyone has a good day tomorrow!

Big hugs Gwen, hope you had another good hair day today. It's a horrible thing to go through and I know it's difficult but try to stop thinking about it for a while, the whole checking the phone all the time for a text is awful, have you tried turning your phone off for a bit? I know it sounds silly but I have found it really does help.

Hi

I think I have a bermuda triangle going on in my whole house. Stuff disappears then reappears - actually I think it's just my Mum coming round and moving stuff!!

Yes, I think I have to give myself a bit of a break this week. I am working hard at work and getting on with things, but I'm not going to feel great. Despite everything and the fact we weren't seeing each other very long, I really cared about him. Onwards and upwards indeed. I've just spent 22.99 on new membership of match.com for a month. Not very MSE, but if I'm going to be single I need to have possibilities. I'm already emailing somebody new and he sounds nice and normal - I've probably jinxed it now.

I didn't pay the blindest bit of attention to Desperate Housewives in the end cos I was chatting to my Dad and he was nice to me for once. Maybe it's cos I told him I got chucked, he's not normally that nice. What happened? Oh and Edie is dead. She got electrocuted? Is that right? I get so confused by Desperate Housewives storylines, I think it's really funny, but I get confused the way they twist things around.

makeup - Have you organised a meeting? Don't worry about upsetting other people so much. I had a horrible meeting with my boss a couple of weeks ago, we both left furious, but he told me earlier this week he thought it was a good thing and I should have said it all earlier!! If you have a point and are polite about how you raise it, nobody can possibly have an issue with you, even if they happen to disagree.

Night out with the girls sounds fun. My weekend is going to be fairly boring I think. Need to organise some fun things I think to get me back out there.

Better days tomorrow!

Me too. I think I am just a word glutton.

I reckon that's all perfectly reasonable and understandable stuff. You've just reminded me of something my wise mum once said to me, which was something like "it's not your responsibility to make it work everytime". This was on the occasion of me struggling on with a relationship I didn't really want, just because I felt obliged to try and sort things out. Anyway, in my case I was glad when I gave up because he was eating his way through my monthly shopping budget on a weekly basis - he became known to my friends as fridge magnet, because you'd always find him there... :rolleyes:

Now my Dad's on the email chat thingy, so no doubt my mood will only get worse..

And I need to quit here, as OH's net connection has gone awol, and he needs to use mine - ah, the price of domestic harmony...

Oh well, it will get better, it will all get better. There must be a gorgeous fella out there just waiting to sweep me off my feet and be there for me and me for him. In the meantime, there's Desperate Housewives and MSE to cheer me up.

Sarah - hope that ipod turns up soon. It's really vexing when things just disappear like that. And I reckon all that tidying deserves a reward.

FeeFee - hurry up with those wedges. They are fast becoming the SAID uniform (Paul & TDQO are, of course, excused) of choice.

TDQO - we want a full report...

Shoe Gal - I'm sorry...[football] :beer:

Night all. x
