Hi Cinny!
Finally got the internet sorted so will be following your diary again!
Oh and nice to 'meet' you Rich - heard lots about you!

Hello!
I was perusing Marie Claire at lunch and read something about eyelash boosters and they made me think of you! I can't post the links for some reason (stupid work PC!) but google 'Latisse' (apparently you can get it on prescription) and 'Lancome Oscillation Power-Booster Vibrating Mascara Base'
I think I might have to get that Lancome thingy for myself, I read a couple of reviews and it looks like it works!

I was wondering actually, will you still keep this diary now you've decided not to budget and save etc anymore Cinny?

It isn't that I've decided not to budget or save, I'm still doing both just on a smaller scale and not kicking myself when I don't make it.

Basically I just need all my money freed up, rather than looking at it thinking 'that's for this and this is for that' I'm coping a lot better like this then I was a couple weeks ago. It's nice being able to treat me and OH, or getting my sister something to cheer her up, rather than having it all piled up in savings and not actually being able to do anything. Just seems rather silly to me. I'm still aiming to put £50 in savings each week, but if something comes up and I can only put £10 in it's still better than nothing.

We're still going through the crapper at work too. We've been setting up 'if the worst happens' plans, and they're really quite scary. Thankfully we're 1/3rd there to getting things sorted. We've settled on a redundancy thingy for one of the guys we had to lay off. He doesn't deserve a penny of what he's getting in my eyes but what can you do?

I feel completely drained today, just want to go home and sleep!

I wasn't getting at you Cinny, just asking if you intended to continue the diary. Sorry if it came across that way.

Cinny91

I didn't think you were having a go! Sorry if it sounded like I was having a go back or something I really didn't mean it like that, maybe I just wasn't in the right frame of mind for doing a post

Cinny you sound like you need a big bar of chocolate to cheer yourself up!

Thanks Girls! Had an easy night last night, had a nice bath using all my bits from Lush and headed to bed early with a (secondhand)new book. Was asleep by 9:30ish. Must of done me some good as I actually feel awake today.

Just having 5 minutes before I dive into work, to be fair it'll all only take me about 30minutes to do. Yesterday I was completely worked up from 9am and just sat listening to the radio and playing e4 games until 4:30 :rolleyes:

Good news though, OH got his courtesy car - a little red Citroen c1. I think they're sweet but he hates it, it does really good MPG though so I've told him to focus on that. Only done 9miles too! He's got his first proper managers shift today though, things are looking up for him!

Things don't seem to bad at work today either, now we've got this one guy sorted we know the kind of figure we'll be paying for the others so we can prepare ourselves in a way. It'll still be one hell of a stuggle but we've been through worse. 'If the worst happens' has gone from completely loosing the company to me, my brother and cousin stopping getting paid and living off our PB - which to be fair wouldn't be so hard.
