Found out today that a good friend of mines dad has terminal cancer and it's really gotten to me... i guess i just feel for my friend moreso, and wish there was something i could do. As it is, i don't even see him.... (his wifie is a bit jealous (rightly or wrongly) and they haven't long had a new baby.. so i'm guessing my waltzing in all single, skinnier and fabulous wouldn't go down too well....) (sorry if that sounds big headed, it's not meant to be...)

Sorry about your friend, Maz - and it's a horrible situation to be in where you can't just be a friend to him
Is it me or is Big G making an effort (tell me to butt out if necessary:p)?

I bought a few jewellery bits in the Dorothy Perkins sale the other day - dangers of the internet at work when you're bored! Some of it I've decided is just not 'me' when I actually tried it on, so if any of you lovely lot would like them just shout up - I don't want anything for them (it might take me a few days to get to the Post Office though!)

If not I'll return them but doesn't seem worth it as they didn't cost much and would rather someone had them if they like them!Debt@16.12.09 £10,362.38, now debt free as of 29.02.2012."I cannot make my days longer so I strive to make them better."0 -
