Well done shoe gal!:T and £9 is gonna be tough Souk, especially if it includes a night out! Some imaginative thinking needed there!
Thanks everyone, will get over him sooner or later I suppose- just seems hard cos I have to see him/ stay in touch for DD. We speak/text most days and I need to get over the habit as its obviously doing no good!
Lasagne sounds yum for tea, could do with some of that. Am sat watching Princess Diaries with DD and popcorn at the min.0 -
Have just had M&S Count on Us Lemon and Ginger chicken - expensive but a lovely treat

Well done Shoe Gal:j:j:jI am due to weigh myself in the morning but I might give it a miss as I don't think I have lost anything again:o
I had 2 emails to say that one of the phones and the game I posted have been accepted, so that's £16.70 on its way and am up to £18.50 on TCB, just waiting to hear about the other phone and to get my music magpie pack, if it takes much longer I will just put them on ebay.
I am pathetically excited about ebay:o I have filled a big basket with stuff I can sell and have been searching everywhere for anything to add, I am going to have nothing left except a bed and some clothes at this rate:D I need to buy a couple of things first and get paypal set up, then I will try to sell a couple of small things and see how it goes.
Have had another NSD, I think I will try to keep count of them next month as I am doing quite well and it will spur me on.

Hello again,
Clarabella, so sorry to hear you're having a rough time :grouphug: really hope that you find your peace soon. I agree with others that you need to be more 'business like' about arrangements for your DD, defintiely stop the texting & daily calls, not necessary unless there's a problem & not fair on you.
As to the weight loss ; Off to find the recipe for Twinks hobnobs on old Style for you my lovely, they have amazing therapeutic & restorative qualities. Above all never forget how F Fabulous you are & that you wont always feel like this :A.
Sarah, I am in awe :T cant wait to hear of your ebay succeses ... will then send all my stuff to you so you can sell it for me

Thanks everyone. Know I should stop whinging- I could be a lot worse off! Twinks hobnobs are lovely, and I made some white choc chip chocolate cookies off OS last week too...yum! Am off to my mums for dinner today, roast beef and yorkshire puds! Think I may leave my mobile here. We have sorted out when he's seeing DD next week so really shouldn't have to speak at all. I'll have to be strong and not speak. It seems hard cos we get on really well, we both still love each other-and are quite open about it- but we want different things out of life. I'm ready to settle down, have more kids in the future maybe. He likes going out lots, seeing his friends, doesnt want to settle down. Doesn't stop you loving them though.
Ah well, time to stop being a whiny !!!!!! now, and get on! Is everyone planning a nice relaxing day today?0 -

Brrrr it's snowing again here today. I actually gasped when I looked out the window as the flakes were so huge!
Good to hear you sounding more positive clarabella, and get lost and tackle your list Shoe Gal
I listed some DVD's on amazon and stuff4sale last night, and 3 items of clothing on ebay. Going to list a huuge list of DVD's on the intranet at work tomorrow and hopefully sell the majority there - £17 for over 20 DVDs from music magpie is rubbish so having that as my last resort.
I've only got £13 to last me until Friday
although hopefully I'll get the £7 expenses work owe me tomorrow.
Got a list of things I'm putting off doing this week. Really should fill in a job application but I'm so sick of doing them and feeling very disheartened about it all at the moment. Trying so hard to stay positive but I'm feeling really low at the moment.0 -
I know-I start the day with positive intentions, but end up sat on MSE for hours on end! Currently just reading up on a OU course in bookkeeping-wondering if I could afford that. Maybe I need to start using my brain again!0

Sorry to hear about jobs Bibbitybob-did your 'plan' which you couldn't talk about work out? (sure that was you but I could be making it up!)0
