Gwen - I'm at about the same stage with you on the matched betting. Can we share a collective brain when we get going?

Sorry, forgot to reply to this Holly. Yes, we can totally merge brains when MB fever kicks off in August!

I was particulary please with myself, I picked things up, I thought will I eat this this week, decided no and put them down. Must have at least halved the bill. I may finally be getting the hang of being sensible and not buying everything I want.:D

That is really good Sarah, I am so carp, I'll spend ages weighing up the prices of washing powder, spagetti, meat, sandwich stuff and then quite merrily stash cakes, biscuits and the like in my trolley without hardly a backwards glance!!! And I did it again this week with the half price white magnums in Tesco's ....... (they are my favourites!)

I went bowling tonight for someone's leaving do at work. I was so terrible....but we still had fun.

I'm looking forward to this weekend. I'm hoping to go swimming tomorrow, then meeting a friend for lunch (lebanese - yum!) and a play in the evening.

Then Sunday I'm out with a friend using those tickets I won in a competition.

~Good luck with the matched betting, Gwen and Holly, I look forward to hearing all about the cash you are making!!

Eco - I've found some more fennel recipes, I'll try and send them to you this weekend

Hope you all have a fab weekend!

Thank you all... you're probably right. I guess partly I am upset because it's so rare for me to find someone I like in the first place, and partly because I am actually pretty sure that the very hefty hints he dropped to me were before he started seeing her, despite being after her very unsubtle introduction. I am notoriously thick at these things, so it was only after discussion with a couple of mates that they basically said 'he was trying to ask you out you moron!'. So it may be a case of have missed the boat rather than he's a complete git. I don't have any real concrete evidence to think they're together, it's all 'the way that was said' etc but I'm still pretty sure I'm right. My intuition usually is, even when I wish it wasn't. It's also telling me that they won't last, although I have no idea why I would feel that or what I would think about it. Have decided that a tactical withdrawal is indeed the way to handle this since it means I can keep my dignity, if he does care about me he will notice and it should register that I'm either p*d off or upset. So no more banter, no more sharing of chocolate and basically nothing that could remotely be interpreted as inappropriate behaviour with somebody else's boyfriend.

Still I suppose there are some good things that have come out of this...
1) I have moved from 'Don't need boyfriend have enough hassle in life already' to 'ready for relationship now'
2) I have found myself a great new look for work which seems to be very popular with men in general, not just him
3) I already have a fab outfit for next week's evening event and am going to take my fabbest swimsuit etc

You're right really, there is every chance I will meet someone else now I'm open to the possibility. And there might be some other people I know at next week's event, so you never know who I could be introduced to.

Ramble over, hugs :grouphug:and cups of tea to all for cheering me up

PS. And when I do have to deal with him, am going to imagine him being epilated by Lula. That should ensure a sly and mysterious grin :rotfl:

Hey guys!

Send some of that positivity my way please as having a totally rubbish day! Just hope tomorrow is better!

Hi all, hope everyone is okay. Have had a boring day today, not much to report, but want to get my little steps down. So on the life improvement plan today I have:

• coins in piggy
• checked quidco
• NSD
• done some more housework type things
• had croissant, jam, coffees, fish and vegetables, banana and yoghurt
• 1ltr of water
• took my vitamins

Think that's all for now, am determined to get my room just how I want it, so off to do some more decluttering and sort out my washing.

Rosa, glad you are feeling more positive now :j

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Rosa - you are just too BAD and too fabulous! Is Lula poised and ready with the evil epilator?

Seriously, that all sounds good to me - including the "ready for relationship" mode, and the clothing weapons of attraction primed and ready for assault.

Shoe Gal - Sorry it's been a carp one. Anything we can do to help? Edit: and Lottie? I am on carp hunting patrol and will do my best to corral and evict the smal golden piscine ones...

Back in a bit. There is a suspicious amount of sniggering going on downstairs, and I want to go and stick my nosy beak into whatever exciting things may be happening...;)

I had forgotten just how good Top Gun is

sarahb123_3

My set top box has finally given up the ghost. :mad: I am trying to watch it and it keeps freezing every 10 mins and having to be reset. I have only had it for a year and like a fool I spent £90 on it. I will have to replace it, I don't watch much tv but I would miss it if it wasn't there. I will be sensible this time though, if something is only going to last me a year I will get one of the tesco value ones. But it is more spending, GRRRRR.:mad:

Hi all

Seems there's been a shoal of little carps around this week then. Positivity flowing from me, oi Shoe Gal you definitely ARE lovable (and ffabulous) :kisses3:.

May have to google some Feng Shui as somebody recently told me they had some spookily good results from sorting their relationship corner! (have a bad feeling mine is currently occupied by unused yoga mat and washing basket)
