    Oh no Souk, that's terrible! Hope you're ok xx

    Yargo, my skin's been rotten lately. I got a sample of Ultrabland from lush and it seemed to do wonders, but the sample's run out and I'm nowhere near a store and too stingy to pay the website delivery :rolleyes:

    Just had a naughty tea of pizza & chips...did pile the pizza with veggies though in an attempt to make myself feel better ;) planning an evening chilling and surfing, perhaps playing with figures for mortgage.

    Souk, hope you are ok, what a horrible thing to happen icon9.gif xxx

    Have filled a bin bag with rubbish, still looks the same, am going to abandon book pile for now and just concentrate on filling bags with rubbish. I want to try and make a significant impact on it tonight so I will be spurred on tomorrow. I am being ruthless and looking at everything in an if "I moved would I take this with me mode". I have a feeling this is going to be very time consuming I am going to get rid of a lot of stuff. :rolleyes:

    Souk - how horrible! I hope you have insurance and the claim is sorted out ok. take care xx

    Sarah - how exciting! I got tickets last year for my Mum and sister to the Erin & Anton show and they really loved it. Fab to see all the dancing live.

    I've spent day chilling at my friends house, Sunday papers and Eastenders.

    I bought some knitting needles and wool yesterday and have already managed to make a headband and I've made petals of a flower and am going to make it up tonight so already have fab flower headband! :j

    I could knit, a bit, years ago but this has reminded me and I think I've got the purl stitch nailed which I could never do before :j


    Sarah - I totally need to do what you are doing. I've so much stuff and I don't want to be dragging it all with me when I move. I went through my shoes and I've got three pairs to get rid of so that is a good start.
    I've got my own flat :j:j

    Now I have to pay the bills :eek:

    And feed my interiors addiction ;)

    Hey everyone,

    Souk , sorry to hear that news, how rubbish :mad:

    sarah - glad you had fun & £80 not so bad for an all inclusive day out. I've just stabilised on the weight this week, but think it's quite normal to 'plateau' every so often. Also planning on shifting another 2lb this week. Well done on deciding the shoes are not perfect. I still havent had an opportunity to wear my new ones other than with pyjamas :D due to the weather but have been wearing the boots so a completely justifiable purchase.

    Shoe Gal - great news on free goodies :j

    Makeup - wow, am impressed with your knitting skills, 3 members of my family have attempted to teach me ... it's just not going to happen though :o

    Bibbitybob - have pizza envy now, got a whole book of pizza hut offers in the post but have binned them all, I have yet to come across the diet that includes pizza :rolleyes:, especially the deliciously fattening stuffed crust one :drool:

    Yargo - brilliant news on the dejunking & your skin is probably reacting to winter weather, central heating etc ...
  • Why oh why oh why did I have to look up the ex on Facebook?! :confused::(:doh:

    Sorry to hear about your laptop Souk :(

    BibbityBob... because everyone always does. I looked my ex's profile a couple of days ago and it physically hurt :( If you find it too hard to resist you can block them so that their profile won't appear even if you follow a direct link to it.

    I'm sorry for the demon I've become but you should be sorry for the angel you are not.
