    Yeah there was extensive makeup involved - even the guy I live with didn't recognise me in town! Don't know about "slim" though, I've certainly got more curves than David Bowie... and the leggings weren't a good look on the walk of shame home this morning...

    I won free booze (treasure hunt), cinema tickets (raffle) and a wish from my boss (costume). So not a bad day overall :grin:

    Well done on your bargains, Mercy - a blouse for 50p can't be bad!

    Well, I am feeling :mad: and :( and :EasterBun and :cry: and banghead.gif and cloud.gifand curse.gif and puppyeyes.gif and oink.gif (the last one's not Swine Flu btw, I just feel like a pig)

    In other words, not a happy bunny. More of a hormonal, off-the-rails mad woman!!

    Supposed to be going up North for Christening this weekend but feel so yuk I have decided not to go :(

    Have got the weekend to myself & I'm hopefully going to give myself a good talking to & get things (everything) back on track.

    I feel like I've got PMS/PMT/MOTM/TOTM/PERI-MENOPAUSAL SYMPTOMS all going on at once!!

    I know this has a lot to do with my diet & that's why I'm going to address that this weekend but also got other things going on too.

    Anyway, sorry for the rant but just wanted to get things off my chest!! I'm not looking for sympathy violin.gif

    Will be back, and smiling, later :wave:

    Wow Sweet, that's a lot of emotions! Will give you plenty of space...

    I'm still [STRIKE]drunk[/STRIKE] completely hyperactive and all my friends apparently have lives so I've got no-one to natter to on the phone :(

    Lol. I've got no-one to natter to either because I'm keeping quiet about not going to the Christening as I want some space this weekend.

    I know this might sound weird, but I'm going to create a Word document, putting down in 'writing' all my problems, issues etc & then trying to get them into perspective. Won't just focus on the negatives as there are some positive things in my life but think it will help if I see it in black & white (or pink :rolleyes:) infront of me. Don't worry everyone, I won't be posting it on here!! Strictly private & confidential for my eyes only!!

    I haven't seen Sazbo for a while...:confused: I hope you are ok:)
    If you think nobody cares whether you're alive or dead, try missing a couple of mortgage payments.:whistle:

    My way is Atkins;)

    Sweet, make sure you write solutions or at least something positive to your problems on that word document. Otherwise you'll just feel worse. You could also write a positive list, like "I'm a loyal friend, I've got a good sense of humour, I've got great bangers"...or whatever. My list would be:

    -I've got a massive bum....but that means I just bounce back up if I fall over.
    -My stomach is too big....but I can still see my toes
    -I've been ill for ages....but at least it gives me time to mess about on MSE!

    I haven't eaten much today coz I've been asleep most of it (my meds make me sleepy) but plan to do something like veggie stirfry tonight. Our fridge freezer has just bust so the lure of fast food will be even stronger. must...resist....

    Nice avvy, Marrow!

    Well I'm off out again shortly, just a quiet drink in town (I hope - really worried about how the guys I'm meeting up with plan to drink though!). No menus to post cos I haven't eaten anything in 24 hours.

    Started my list this afternoon, lots & lots of negatives but not so many positives at the moment :rolleyes:

    marrow, I loved your post!! :T

    Thank you.

    You should consider a career in counselling :D

    I must admit, doing this positive/negative document has been very therapeutic so far. I know I have to bump up the positives, having too much negativity is not good, but I will get there. Feel better already!! :D

    Very quiet in here tonight..

    I had a read through earlier, but was nodding off before i could post :o

    Nice haul mercy :T

    Well done badger, was thinking it doesn't look like your earlier pic, but if your own lodger didnt recognise you, no wonder i didnt :D

    Sweet, the smilies are so good at conveying how you feel ,but you did make me laugh at the amount used.

    Pizza for the boys for tomorrow, will be nice not cooking lunch ;)

    Not coming home tomorrow night, so see you Monday peeps... xx

    I'm back! Didn't have a very long night out, just long enough to realise just how tired I secretly was :) A pleasant pub crawl with my colleague, her other half and an incredibly pretty but incredibly young man (his mate)...
