I might have some daim/dime chocolate disc things in the fridge, I may be able to hear them calling me softly.
Rudolph :rudolf: was delicious. I am only a short journey from IKEA

yes and no. i had a good talk with DH about how i was feeling and he was really supportive, let me have a cry without rolling his eyes :rolleyes: he reminded me how well we've done so far and how we will get there eventually. he treated us to lunch out so that was nice and we talked about maybe getting a tent so we can just pack up the car and go away for a couple of days if we feel like it. funny how we're planning to be spontanious :rolleyes:
but then i had to go to the dentist and have my wisdom tooth out. so i'm slighty dumber, got a very sore face and i had to come to work
on a more random note. i haven't been to ikea in ages. slightly pointless as we don't have a houseGoals for FebruaryDeclutter 2/50Money Made £0/£200Overpayments £0/£2000 -
Hi all.
Been keeping a low profile as feeling bit like starnac.
2.5 years to DF day, and that's with paying more than third of my wages towards debts.:( And I don't want to live in a shared house anymore,I try not to think about it, but it does get me down living in one small room with all my stuff. I really need to find a better paid job.And although I save holiday money every month, the amount I save, is not going to be enough for even one holiday. It's just feels like struggle,struggle,struggle,each and everyday.

Hi SH - So sorry you didn't get the job, how come one person had a larger vote than the other 3, should be been the majority.
I believe things happen for a reason and the perfect job is out there just waiting for you to appear when the time is right.

Oh SH, I am so sorry, that is terrible.
It seems insane that they can have 5 stages and then it comes down to one person, it makes a mockery of the other stages and all of the hard work the candidates and their own staff have put into them - grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
tirl - it sounds like you are having a big old blip at the moment, did you see the 'what's the point' thread a couple of days ago - they were feeling really similar.
(((hugs))) to both of you
starnac - glad you managed to perk up a bit, I love the tent idea (just remember kids: there is no fun like planned fun- LOL seriously, I do love the idea)
