    Ah of course its Fish Wednesday....think next weeks wednesday chat should be called that..

    Have just ordered a storage unit for DD from Ikea :eek: although I have been wanting to buy this for about 2 years. Figured the £7.50 delivery was worth it as it would cost me £10 at least in petrol and I would end up spending another £50 on bits I didn't really need ;) I am learning!

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    *Stomps in*

    Urgh! Landlords! Just had my landlord on the phone, the homeless prevention people have been trying to get a hold of him about my tenancy, and all he's worried about is council tax. If they are going to find out that he's let a non-student live here and not declared it for council tax. I told him that all he needs to say is he can't let me stop on for my tenancy because he has 4 students already signed on for July, but nooooo, they are gonna come down on him like a ton of bricks. I already told them a little white lie and said I graduated this year, because I thought about this. He was even talking about lying to them and saying I'd only been living here a few months, but I told him that wasn't going to work because I've been on the electoral register for here for at least a year if not more. He's even told me not to hand in my LMH application because he may have to redo my reference.

    Getting to the point where I am gonna say screw him and his dodgy dealings, I need myself sorted.

    Edit: And he's coming over at some point today, grand

    Look out for your own interests only rubes..... you've already protected his interests by telling the white lie about graduating this year, so you've done enough....

    do you have his reference? he can't change it if you've already got it? If he is down as to be approached for a reference, then that is different...



    As i said earlier, i am feeling a bit squiffy and dizzy... just texted big g about it, he has just gotten over a 4 day Diaorhea and vomiting bug, and he said that was how he felt on day 1... i am so hoping this is not me coming down with it... :eek:
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....
