    Thanks Zig, I think it might be a case of me taking too much on at once and more than likely dropping a few, but I'll give it my best shot!

    I couldn't believe how much shampoo I have, 1.5ltrs was from the order from Luxuryhaircare, they sent me two shampoos instead of a duo :rolleyes: Tried contacting them all last week but nothing! So I've just accepted the fact I have enough shampoo to last me until 2012. Going to be cheeky and go and get some cheap conditioner (Alberto Balsam!) before the 100 day challenge starts so I don't have to break it half way in. :D

    I am missing OH though, didn't think I'd miss him this much! Just trying to make the best of a bad situation, but I snapped at him last night on the phone. I'm trying really hard to keep it all light and happy and he had a case of the grumps and was being all moody with me, so I told him where to stick it and hung up :o Made up quickly though so it's all okay! Waiting to hear about the car again today. Fingers crossed!

    Good luck with the 100 day challenge. I seem to go through shampoo etc so quick now!

    I always found when i was at uni and didn't see OH for a couple of weeks at a time that we would have arguments probably just because we were missing each other. Is silly really.

    Haha, good idea! :rotfl:

    Aw bless ya! I got really angry yesterday at my OH cuz he asked me to take his plate out to the kitchen. It wasn't even a ridiculous request, but I am sick of him being really lazy at the mo so I snapped and got really angry! I think my family thought I was nuts. :o Glad you two made up quickly though! Ooh yeah, fingers crossed for the car! :T

    Sounds like something I'd do Zig!

    Just had another bust up with OH over this car stuff, I called him stupid for just focusing on one car, he got defensive, so I got more b!tchy :rolleyes:
    He's now looking at another car at that same garage and I feel abit mean, but at least we made up! Just really want him to get this sorted so we can start seeing each other again, and maybe not kill each other via email/texts.

    Had the slimfast for lunch, weird how it fills you but my mouth is convinced it hasn't eaten. Turns out mum is working until 8 tonight so it's a get your own tea. So either soup or beans on toast, hmm, thrilling!

    Just checked my banking, 38p interest on my saver. Better than a slap on the eye!

    I don't think i could do slimfast, for a start i don't really like milkshake haha. I think my body would do the same as you though and think it hasn't eaten.

    Hope your OH manages to sort car soon. I was in a grump this morning with OH as he was making loads of noise with the iron and I was trying to sleep.

    I don't really like milkshakes either but it wasn't too bad! Had the chocolate one as I figured it would give me a fix at the same time. How wrong can a girl be?

    OH seems set on the other car now, it's 1k more but we can still reach payments and it's quite nicer than the first one! Just need to see if he can get the finance or we're back to square one.

    The £55 payment to my credit card still hasn't cleared online, but it's out of my bank account. Floating around in cyber space! The payment for my parents holiday is floating about too waiting to clear, hoping it's all settled soon!

    Morning!

    The £55 payment has cleared on my CC now, just left with £274 for my parents holiday now. Can pay off £50 this weekend, hoping my brother gives me his share next weekend and it will get down to £140ish pretty quickly. Then should have that cleared in few weeks.

    Good news about OHs car situation, he went to look at some last night and seems pretty taken with another car. It's payments are £111 a month, but if we cut back in other areas we'll be okay. I think a car is more important than a few meals out! He's going back with his mums boyfriend on Saturday to look at it again and have a test drive. Looking good though! :D

    Was going to walk into town after work but the weather looks awful and it's starting to rain. Lovely! I think I'll just change into my jammies once I get home and have a snuggly afternoon (after I've been on the treadmill) and finish my book off.

    God, it's only 8:45 and I cant wait to get home already! Have a nice day everyone.

    we went to see Harry Potter (and I finished the book in time! I had to read the last 9 pages in the cinema and got to the end just as they dimmed the lights!)

    :rotfl: You big geek!

    Morning Cinny, just been catching up on your thread, seems to move as fast as Dinah's these days! Weekend in Cornwall sounds fab and in a castle too! I'm jealous! Really need to get down that corner of the country one of these days.

    What sort of car is OH looking at now? I know it must be frustrating not being able to see him, but try not to pressure him too much - buying a car is a big thing and he needs to think hard about it. Couldn't your kindly bro give you a lift over in return for cupcakes or something?

    Ugh, I feel like I've never been away from work it's so depressing! Have been through my inbox and sorted the important from the rubbish, now need to deal with what's important! Diet starts today too, am hungry :(

    ETA - ooh, meant to ask, is there a new 100 day challenge starting? I need to join, tho not sure I've got room in my sig... Also going to aim to get at least 5 NSDs in before the end of the month!

    Morning Cinny!

    That's good about the car, it's good that you can afford the repayments too. It'd be a nightmare if his car had broke but you couldn't afford to get another one. How long are the repayments for? Will you be insured on the car too?

    The weather is rubbish here too, but the afternoon you have planned sounds really good! Aside from the treadmill :p I am going to the school I was at for placement tonight, to see the year 6 placement. It's one of those 'I want to go, but I can't really be bothered to drive for an hour and a half and get dressed up etc' situations! :o I'm sure I'll enjoy it once I'm there!

    I can't remember what you said you ordered from the Body Shop website, but my stuff got delivered yesterday and I actually think the brown vanity case is really nice! I know some people weren't impressed but I think it's a good size and stuff, and will be even better when filled with more stuff. I also got a peppermint foot set thing, and that was a bargain for £5. I was gonna order some more but they're out of stock. :rolleyes:

    Hope the time passes quickly in work! :D

    Morning,

    Youa re doing well on the cc repayments, as long as you keep that up you will pay it off in no time.

    Hope your OH manages to find a car.

    I would love to spend this afternoon in my phjs all snuggled up but sadly I have to sit at my desk hehe.
