    Hey Miss Lauren,

    I hear you're having a heatwave in the parallel universe, I am envious :o I hate cold miserable slushy winter weather.

    I should be in bed, but am all cosy next to the radiator & dont want to move.

    Sarah - you must make stand against the neurotic midget. Cant you squish him or hoover him up or something :D I want to see you making changes, please. Life is too short to be unhappy.

    night night

    Absolutely - remember moving could be a great thing not a pain at all... you might find a lovely new house with cute single neighbours :D (deep sympathies re. horrible flatmate, still have :eek: at remembering sharing with the Stingiest Git in the World)

    Been lurking as things rather mad here - back to uni, the last one are trying to charge me £150 for the enrolling that by definition I am not doing as I'm withdrawing :mad:, and am trying to persuade council tax people that as I am doing way more than their minimum hours in the year it would be really nice if they would actually give me the exemption :confused::mad:... long story.

    Still no news from Facebook guy but will be chasing up mutual friend later this week. Also, heard from previous um, dirty stopout over Christmas and New Year so have been chatting by text. No idea where that's going as he's at the other end of the country... but he's great so will keep chatting and see what happens. (Yes OK it helps that he is also 6'-odd and very, very fit :D:D ... )

    Hurrah for our illustrious leaders :beer: :j:T
    Welcome Jim

    Will catch up properly tomorrow night, see y'all then

    It's nice if you can be at the beach, but when you have to walk up a huge hill to get to work and finally arrive sweating like a pig, not so much. :rolleyes:

    Not even to mention trying to sleep... didn't go below 30 degrees at NIGHT the other day... impossible to try and get some rest :mad:

  • Morning ladies and gentlemen. I am seriously thinking of starting my own debt free diary tonight. Which of you people write one, and do you enjoy it?

    Will let you all know if I make good on this idea.

    Better drag my sorry carcass off to work again now. Another light dusting of snow in the London/Essex borders this morning.

    Hello all & welcome to worried jim -

    worry no more, we'll soon have you eating choc, drinking wine & buying shoes :D

    sarah - a quick one of these :grouphug: for hating your job & your home at the same time :(.

    I've been quite succesful with food today - until about half an hour ago when I decided that I had to eat half that last box of choccies just to be rid of them :o. The other half will come in handy as bribes for DD ;).

    worry no more, we'll soon have you eating choc, drinking wine & buying shoes :D
    not too sure about buying shoes- but as Meatloaf said "two out of three ain't bad"

    Well done Lula you celeb you!

    I have a debt diary although not in debt, its more moaning about the ex and lack of money as I try to save a house, also actually my latest diary has less moaning about him as I am FABBY and don't need him.

    Sarah, my ex just borrowed off me all the time, he paid half the bills but owed me £600 when we split luckily he was decent enough to pay it all back (though tried to wangle out of that a few weeks running even though he now lives in a £55 per week bedsit and gets £300ish a week....) but anyway he was a worry all the time when it come to money.

    So agree with Gwen not all partners are worth having moneywise!!!

    Its snowing bad my way now though, on lunch break, want to get sent home early though.

    I'm speeding in and out.....just weighed myself.... lost 6lbs since last Tuesday :j (although have a long long long way to go before I hit target, gonna be in this for the long haul!)
    I've got my own flat :j:j

    Now I have to pay the bills :eek:

    And feed my interiors addiction ;)
  • Wow well done makeup! I'm having a quick gander on here before street dance...at the moment I'm too cold to even contemplate getting changed into my gym gear though.

    Planning to come home and have a mini cleaning frenzy, though won't be surprised if I end up collapsed on the couch. If you see me here before 9pm tell me to bog off please!!! :)
