[/QUOTE] This could be the last tour Girls aloud are ever doing... I think so went on suday going again Next friday if all goes to plan was amazing tickets on sale on ebay!!!!

debt_free_me

Lisa - yeah I wondered this. I couldn't get tickets though and i'm guessing they are alot more on Ebay? If so and they don't do anymore gigs, then I will change it to something else. They said they arn't breaking up, but who knows!

Candy0107

Right, time to stop moping as this is not helping.

Today I have/will:
*Checked online banking
*TAB scratch - 25p
*GUpuds comp - not a winner
*Entered online comps
*Chased up feedback from yesterday's interview (enough said :rolleyes:)
*Meals from stores
*WILL go to the gym when hubby gets home from work
*Need to sort out the DD problem I had yesterday with the gym
*Look online for jobs

Sorry that I came across as a bit shirty earlier!. I am just frustrated by the whole situation. I have never been out of work, and all the knock backs are denting my confidence even more!

Anyhow, thanks for all the hugs. Hello to all that have posted before and after me, and hugs for those that need them.

Take care
Candy xxx

Well done golfingdog!! :j:beer:

((((((((((hugs)))))))))Candy - just remember - its their loss, you were too good for them!!!

I have just been really dynamic and made biscuits with the DDs for school cake sale tomorrow!!! :j:j This may not sound a lot to all you prolific bakers out there, but believe me, for me - this is massive!!! :rotfl:

urg123

Candy - don't worry about venting here - I can understand why - you must be very annoyed.

Lisa - Great list

TGF - Well done on the CC payment!

SM - Lovely to see you

Fay - Hope you found your purse

Waving to everyone

My list may have to go to the bin - I need to do a report for work. Am going to give myself a deadline of 2 hours to do it so I can get back to my main list. GRRRRR

On the plus side - just had a letter from Sofa Finance Company - they are treating my letter as a complaint which is good. But it still means that the matter isn't resolved!

Deep breath - get working!
