    Hello again,

    have just tried to post concise points on my diary but still giggling at Fire Fox's randomness or maybe the second glass of wine.

    Will definitely come up with something to complement. :D


    hope you're now all sugared up sarah, & that ISA is really blooming now :A

    makeup & gwen, Doctor Lula is most concerned that you are visually undernourished :eek: they dont have to be at work, can be just spotted walking along the road, on the bus, anywhere. This is very scientific research, I want to know if any of us can actually set eyes on 5 fanciables everyday. I actually have my doubts about this :(

    As to being rude & unhelpful, !!!!!! ??? have a glass of wine & some chocolate - doctors orders ;)

    Nearly had a scary moment on the way home, pulled out onto main road & 2 cars in front was xbf :eek:. Not sure whether he spotted me but I did a bit of extreme motoring at the next roundabout & took another route home. Think he might have done as when I was at the school he'd called ... I know this because my phone registered a missed call from 'Idiot' :rotfl:

    I think we should all go over to Shoegal's diary each day while she is gallivanting and post completely random stuff so she has no idea what she has missed. :p[/QUOTE]

    added my bit, but I'm not that random. I'll be back later when I've found my brain.

    Sarah: hope you get back to top shoe-buying condition soon :D I have sent off phones in the past and made cash out of it but can't remember the site... I think I googled it...

    Lula: Congrats on the more hours at work thingy, hope you get what you need.

    I'm off to start a very messy weekend :D

    I have been baking & cooking again today :confused: not sure what's going on, but hope it works like a form of aversion therapy ie the more food I cook & have in the home, the less I will want to eat it :rolleyes:

    spent £16 odd in co op on groceries,
    £8.50 on wine stocks ( intend to build up an alcohol store cupboard :D)
    put spare pennies in the pot
    didnt bid on ebay
    still havent received the boots I bought last week :(
    didnt buy nuts to go with wine but McCoys crisps were only £1 for 6 bags ...

    The red wine from last night left me with a headache this morning :rolleyes: so will add it bolognese sauce or something & stick to the Pink Elephant.

    hope makeup enjoyed the early finish & pub session,

    TDQ - enjoy your messiness :D

    Hope sarah feeling better now too

    Hi all, am feeling lots better now and have a week off:D Am still not 100% but I think lots of lie ins will sort that out:D I had a nice chocolate pud last night -for medicinal purposes as ordered by Fire Fox:D.

    Need to do some food shopping as the fridge is empty apart from cheese and milk, it has been for a couple of days but luckily not eating meant it didn't matter, I could manage for a bit longer on the freezer and cupboard food but I have a voucher for £6 off a £20 spend which runs out tomorrow and I don't want to waste it. That £6 will be used for wine I think.;) Am going to write a list and attempt to stick to it.

    Am hoping to have another big declutter over the week, this time I am going to go through my wardrobe again and have another attempt to be ruthless, I did it a couple of months ago and threw about 5 things out:o and most of the the things I wouldn't part with are still not worn since. So I am going to throw out anything which I haven't worn and can't see myself ever doing. I always say that but it must be done. Am also hoping that if I keep losing weight I will be able to get into all the bagged and tagged clothes I have stored away.

    Today's list:
    • coins in piggy
    • read papers online
    • not used car
    • store cupboard meals
    • checked pigsback and quidco
    • checked online banking
    Pay/save £20k in 2010 £5888.75/£20,000
    June Mini target 0/5lbs Total 23/40
    Ebay profit 2010: March £207:) April £95:) May £130:) June £0 Total £432:j

    Excellent justification, Sarahb, I see the stimulant qualities of cocoa have you back on form. Alcohol is well known to have antibacterial and antiviral qualities, and might well be a wise addition to your regime? :beer:

    I feel Shoegal's diary is lacking visual stimulation, anyone know how to post random pictures? :D

    Glad you're feeling better Sarah! Good luck with the decluttering. Do you have any other plans or is it a nice chilled out week?

    Enjoy your weekend TDQ.. I think you'll manage to get your 5 a day easy! ;)

    Lula, I once had my ex under a horrid name, much too horrid to say on here. I had it on there until one day DD saw a text from him and asked me who is ****? :eek:

    Makeup, I hope you told them to F**k off coz you're fabulous?! Hope you enjoyed you pub afternoon/night!:beer:

    Well I've been to Preston today and I can confirm I've most certainly had my 5 a day:D
    I find it hard to get through a day without my 5 a day, I'm such a perv:o

    Bad news on the car again:mad: had to get rescued on Tuesday night as it wouldn't start after DD's guitar lesson so it got taken to the garage and I've not seen it since:mad: Spoke to the mechanic today and it's a fault with the immobiliser, he can't sort it so it's got to go to the Renault garage:mad::mad:

    I've quite enjoyed not having it in a way as I've done a fair bit of walking and it's made a nice change.

    Just looked on ShoeGal's diary. DD is asking what's so funny. Brilliant idea Fire fox. I can't stop laughing

    Hi all

    Sorry to be blue, but I feel blue. I think I might be *slightly* hormonal as well as cold because my heating isn't fixed yet :( I suspected as much but yet another seemingly nice guy I know has in fact turned out to be a rather slimey male specimen. Are there no honest men anywhere?? I'm not really that bothered about him, but it makes me wonder. I think I must be a terrible judge of character and I'm most annoyed because I lent him a book I haven't got back :mad:

    Sorry about the car, Bowski - I don't suppose there's any chance it's still under guarantee?

    Makeup - Can't believe they said that to you?! Hope the pub helped to forget about it and it's the weekend now!!! Woo!! :)

    Glad to see you feeling better Sarah and with a week off ahead :j:j

    Lula - You still haven't got the boots? I've never bought anything off ebay so can't really help, but have they sent them? Do you think they might be held up in the postal strikes?

    I've also become concerned that I'm undernourished Lula. I think I need to get my finances sorted out as a matter of urgency so that I can look for a new, better job (preferably with totty aswell) after Christmas.
