    Morning all.

    Nicki I hope whatever hapens, is for the best for you x
    It's good news about the money making though.

    I really want to stay in bed all day today but have to go swimming this morning and the hopefully chill this afternoon, but want to make some food for our picnic tomorrow and also I started clearing the dining room yesterday and whilst it's better every surface needs sorting as I dumped all the paperwork etc on them.

    morning all,

    Thanks nicki! I hope things sort themselves out with you and your OH.How long have you been together?
    Ive been going through a similar phase with my OH, ive started to go out with my friends more and having a social life instead of saving every penny and my OH has been feeling a bit left out and paranoid im going to leave him. But im not at all! I just want to have some fun while i can.

    I hope you get to chill out this afternoon YB, i hope the weather is good for your picnic 2moz!! Sounds fun to me! I havent had a picnic for years!

    Lol, you have been busy wendy!!! Good on you!

    Im working 2moz which really sucks as they dont pay double time any longer, and if we want it off we have to use our own holiday to take it off or be unpaid!
    Ive really should go outside wash my car and get it ready to sell. First im going to take the morette headlights off and put the old standard ones back on as the morettes should sell for £200. And i need to swap my number plates back to the old ones too.

    Thanks everyone, We've been together getting on for three years now, to be honest I did used to enjoy being single when I was a bit younger and actually went out, but I think it would be very different now. I would like to have some kind of life again though. Anyway, enough of the doom and gloom!

    I hope you can get you car sold quickly Maria, and that everyone else has a nice productive day. I think I'm taking my little sister into town in a bit, then she's going to trim & dye my hair for me in exchange for the foundation I won lol.

    I hope you feel better soon Stacy, if you search block bidders or something similar on ebay help it will show you how to block people from bididng on your items.

    Have just got back from town, bought a few things that I didn't 100% need (dress/shoes/cheap perfume from next) but they were worth it for what I spent. I'm going to be good and not buy anything else for ages, but it was nice to get something for myself for once.

    Hi everyone, hope you feel better soon Stacey.
    Maria good luck selling the car.

    We've been swimming and I resisted a Burker King and bought bread rolls and bacon instead.

    Going to cook some quiches and cakes this afternoon for tomorrows picnic, so hopefully some nice food with not too much spent.

    Hope you feel better soon stacy!

    Maria that is annoying they don't pay you double on bank holidays. MY OHs quite lucky as gets double pay plus another paid day off.

    Nicky - hope the hair cut and dye goes ok, is your sister a hairdresser then? very useful!

    Jen - have you thought of any plans yet?

    Yukkibear - the picnic food for tomorrow sounds lovely, i love quiches

    I have managed to clean cupboards now, am half way through oven but needed a break as my arms are killing me, must be a good work out anyway!
