    Morning all,

    have been a lazy moo so far today, managed to put washing on & eat toast, shuffled through paperwork file & binned last years (still wrapped) yellow pages.

    My plans today extend to doing some gardening & that's about it :(.

    I am seriously considering putting that last bottle of Pink Jacaranda in the fridge for later. I'm bored bored bored with the whole debt / frugal thing today.

    I'm bored with my neighbourhood & all the boring married people in it. I want to go on holiday, have booked 2 weeks off in August & would like to rent a cottage somewhere preferably cornwall or devon, does anyone know of any good rental agencies ?

    Me too :o I think I woke up too early (phone rang at 7.30am :mad:) and now I've crashed and burned. Just want to go back to sleep...

    Did you go to the gym or not?
    Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending

    Lol, me too. I had grand plans of getting on with my list, but I'm just sat here drinking blackcurrant tea. Too tired to do anything productive, but not quite tired enough to go to sleep.

  • Hi everyone :wave:
    Seems like March is shaping up to be a good month so far for everyone, thank god- we deserve it! So glad to hear about the flat makeup, it's been a long time coming. So now its time to think of the nice things, like paint colours!

    Just listening to Katy Perry and Timbalands new song, I love it! Its my new favourite song and think I need to change my ringtone to it!

    Decided I'm just crap at staying away from my ex, it hurts too much, so he is back in my life-but just as friends. Love him too much not to have him around, so we will have to find our way round it all. See how this goes!

    In other news, I have a date tonight!!!!! VERY excited, he seems lovely, and very keen. He suggested we go out tonight, and is taking me out for a meal, he won't tell me where, and is picking me up at . Scary stuff, it's been years! But he seems lovely.

    Was my last shift at Next yesterday, all my lovely friends from work got me a voucher to have my hair coloured and cut at my favourite salon, the lovelies :) oh and a bottle of voddie, which I shall abstain from tonight! So I have lovely shiny hair, and I even had my eyebrows waxed, just shaved my legs, and am all body-buttered up- not that hes getting that close tonight!Well, probably not?! Feel very relaxed and pampered now.

    Hows things on the love front for everyone else? Did you arrange to meet up with your POF man Souk? Anyone else found someone fun?x

    Afternoon ladies :D

    I've only been out of bed for less than an hour but was awake til 3am chatting on MSN to a rather lovely girl I've had sort of been seeing. I've got a black tie dinner tonight with all the old boys from my uni department so I'm going to be trying to get a job sorted.

    Right, am off to do some tidying and a bit of gardening... hope you all have a good evening!

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

    not a wildly productive day here either - was up far too late on here last night and have been tired and grumpy all week, so didn't set the alarm and didn't even wake up til 1230. Have had breakfast, finished book, eaten almost whole pack of cookies and now am going to sort tea and pamper myself. If feeling very organised, might get some uni reading done.

    Have a great time Clarabella
