Not much great excitement round here, still waiting...
Got lots of lunches and dinners out this week though so most of my spending money will go in a flash
, will be nice to catch up with folk though.

Sometimes it's not bad to talk to your ex. Sometimes you can both work out why they are your ex and maybe why they shouldn't be your ex!
Dying to know what's going on in your life, please tell, if not on here then on the book of faces. Hope you hear whatever your news is sooner than I hear mine - I think my entire interview panel are trapped under a large piece of furniture, either that or they are ignorant.
Shame, I would have liked to have worked up your way.

Butti, it's not over till they say "no"! I know the timewasting that goes on at our place so you might get up here yet.
My news is that I am about to join you on the looking for a job front... sorry if it was all too cryptic on FB but there were reasons for that! Onwards and upwards though
although probably much, much less money... I refuse to be disheartened.
On the talking to the ex thing - I did try not talking to him for a while but found I missed him even more
we are not talking about "us" though so nothing will ever get resolved on that one.
Today will be tidying, ironing then cinema I think. Have a good weekend everyone Mortgage OP 2025 £6250/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

Actually depending on the exact rules, it may not be over until 6 months after the letter is posted... :eek:skint_spice wrote: »I am :eek::eek::eek: but feel the fear and do it anyway... what was Hypno's quote? "life begins outside your comfort zone..."
