I've put 2 items on Eb*y now, 2 of DD's lovely flower girl things *sigh* but I've got photos and she'd look like a wrestler now if she tried to wear them, lol.
Am completely and utterly skint...so am pondering keeping the eb*y money I'm going to get to put towards the spending money on holiday. Not sure what's gone wrong recently, think I've been spending on lawd knows what over the past few months to make up for being a bit down in the dumps. Anyway, nothing that a holiday won't fix0 -
Hope you feel better soon Kitt

Thanks.....it's just the usual I think, bit bored, lonely, unloved, ex being a !!!!!! etc etc. I'm also a bit bored of my diet, silly but as I've lost so much weight, the incentive is less strong than it used to be!0

Thanks cherubs, I'm feeling a bit less grouchy now.....saw my LL counsellor this evening and chatted through a few things, and got some new jeans and a gorgeous dress that I'll wow people with on holiday (she sells on secondhand clothes for charity that others have slimmed out of), felt much better - then the car engine warning light came on just before I got home. Grrr.
Luckily I do have money put aside for car emergencies, just have to find a garage tomorrow morning whilst trying to do a million and one other things and having DD and a friend to look after.
Oh well, at least I'm not feeling unloved, DD wrote I love my mummy and gave me lots of hugs tonight. She's very perceptive, bless her xxx0 -

Hope you're feeling better
. I love the idea of selling on clothes that people have grown out of to raise money for charity, it's a total win win. My car is due a service very soon, until now it's all been covered by the company scheme but I bought it at the end of the lease term so I hvae to pay for it mayself, boo.
Your DD sounds like a little star!Mortgage as at March 2010 £225,000 target for December 2012 £170,000. Blog link http://beautifulorpractical.blogspot.com/2010/07/oh-this-is-all-new.html :j0 -
Well....the car is going to cost £266 to fix, some kind of sensor, grrr.....
On the plus side, I sold another book on Amaz*n and posted the clothes this morning, flipping expensive, I certainly didn't overcharge for postage....*sigh*
Didn't sleep last night as my new double-glazing had some wrong fittings and I was worried that the men would tell me tough it has to stay like that (had new windows and a gorgeous front door that I keep on just wanting to look at as I lurve it so much, sad muppet, eh!), so today I'm feeling like death warmed up and have lots to do.
But at least the car is still driveable whilst I wait for the part to come in, so I can have my first girly night out in centuries tonight (if I have the energy to get dolled up!)0 -
