    Evening everyone,

    I've been floating about a bit. I've got myself into a bit of a situation with my friend as I always seem to... I'm such an idiot lol. I'll update on that when it sorts itself out... I'm glad you had a good holiday Wendz. I'm waiting formy DWP results to come through, they said it should be about two weeks. If I get my finger out with the jewellery I think I should be able to make the extra for my overdraft without touching my savings *fingers crossed*

    Oh, and I decided to end it with boyfriend last Sunday, it was amicable and for the best. We're still friends and I don't think it could have gone better which is good :). Hope you're all oki.

    Thanks to you both. To be honest I was worried I'd get really upset and stop eating because that's what I usually do when something bad happens, but I've been okay which I think shows it was def the right decision. I feel a bit bad about something else, but I'll see what happens with that.
