Oh no, don't let my experiences put me off. At least you have some background on him and you will be far more sensible than me.

Believe me, I attract the nutters, the slightly odd, the slightly arrogant, etc

Hi!

Thanks for all the book suggestions and that is such a good idea about visiting the library, makeup. I can get on with my self helping whilst also saving money.

A bit better day today. I'm going to post my baby steps and try and feel good about things:

1. Worked hard.

2. Found a petrol station with unleaded at 99.9 so put some in (on CC ).

3. Got some groceries in (again, on CC :eek:), mostly on offer though. Got 3 meals for a fiver from M&S, which are handy for when I work late and also 6 sausages AND 4 burgers from M&S for 1.50 Can make meals around these.

4. Returned stuff to Oasis. Lots of stuff. Money going back on CC.

5. Found receipt for jeans bought from M&S - to return tomorrow, more money to go back on CC.

6. Found some receipts where I hadn't used my Clubcard. Went to customer services and got them put on.

7. Called up Scottish Power about my 112 pound direct debit :eek::eek: It is correct - argh!! It goes some way to explaining the lack of money in my account though. Have resolved to turn stuff off more and REALLY watch my energy usage. However, I was using a fan heater when I ran all this up because my boiler wasn't working, so I'm now thinking of the 70 quid I paid to get it fixed as an investment.

8. Did a good deed for the day. As I was going down the escalator in M&S, I saw a girl quite a way in front of me lose something. I couldn't see what it was as I was a fair way behind her. I got off and found the item. It was a gorgeous Tiffany pendant. I ran after her, most of the way round the ground floor and gave it her back. Bless her, she was really grateful. Her boyfriend looked really pleased too, I guess it might have been a gift from him. Anyway, that was nice. The pendant really was beautiful though. I just thought I'd emphasise that, in case the guy who's planning to 'whisk me' is reading and is maybe stuck for gift ideas...

Naughty things:

1. Spent about a fiver on lunch stuff from M&S.

2. Bought two coffee's at work.

Hope everybody else is doing well.

Gwenx

Now that is an impressive day Gwen! brilliant mananging in a crisis !xxxx

sarah - just looked at your signature - did I miss the celebrations when you reached 5lbs weightloss? Well done you :j

Thanks Shoe Gal:D I started a new diet at the weekend, which I am determined to stick to as I spent £46 on a Tesco online shop and I am not wasting it.

I decided to order a couple of things I hadn't tried before as I know I don't eat a good enough variety of vegetables, in the spirit of which I have just had my first ever taste of celery. _pale__pale__pale_ I cannot believe people eat that stuff, no wonder I am fat if this is how you lose weight. :mad:

I get the "do you want to have sex on camera messages":eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: its not nice at all. Another good reason to safely remove myself.

Although apparently it happens - if you have been on a while (even if you have been hidden) men assume you are up for that sort of thing. I think the key might be only be on there for say six months?

That would involve learning how to make a stew:o Cooking is not my strong point. I will stick with plan A which is to throw it in the bin.

I am biased cos I love celery but throwing away food is like throwing away money! find a way to use it!
