    Thank you everyone!

    I was happy and still trying to be, spoke to an aunt who just has the knack of pulling me right down. I was renting a house in London with some friends 7 years ago for £2K a month. She kept asking me if I was living in a bedsit!

    She said to me "wait and see how the job is. You were really unhappy in Bournemouth" as if I won't get on with these people. Gee thanks!

    Why do some people always want to put the negative spin on things? Then she brought up me getting upset on Saturday when one of her neighbours had a go at me for blocking another neighbours car in. I didn't realise he was being sarcastic and everything had got on top of me and I was exhausted because this all happened after a 60 hour week at 9 on a Saturday morning.


    At least I'm not going to end up bankrupt now so that is something. I was so worried last week than I phoned Northern Rock to discuss my options.

    As far as I remember there are a lot of things I like in my wardrobe but they are all too tight now and that's why I have nothing to wear! I need a mac...

    Confession time, I have slipped off the essentials only wagon and joined a gym (almost anyway), I shall make it come out of my entertainment budget for the three months honest! needed to be done though for reasons above^^^^^

    I am worse than that - I have a gym membership and am rubbish at going :o I can cancel in July - and I think I will unless I can get some motivation from somewhere :D

    Thanks. She's pulled me right down and really sometimes I think that I'd be better off having a bit of distance. She seems to be completely out of touch with the world.

    F for fabulous.

    can you not try and motivate yourself by telling yourself you can sit on your butt come July once it's cancelled? and by then you'll be all toned and even more fabulous than you are now?:D
