  • Hope your okay butterflies *hugs*

    Sounds like everything is going great for you TDQO... very glad, you seem like a lovely guy :)

    And yes Makeup, I am now going into full on design mode. As the whole seasonal fashion collection thing is ridiculously expensive to start off with, I'm designing ridiculously pretty loungewear in silk... like floaty silk chiffon robes... aaah. (God I'm going to have fun trying the samples!) Will take a little bit to get money together for patternmaking and samples, but once thats done I'll post pictures. I'm going to work so hard and become so successful that the ex will be kicking himself ;)

    Hope everyone had a good day!

    Hello - where is everybody :D
    Sometimes it's hard to walk in a single woman's shoes - that's why we need really special ones!

    And eco I will definitely be selling my clothes.. not too sure when I'll start the eveningwear because I've figured beautiful lounge wear is a lot less expensive in terms of patternmaking/sampling/production cost. But I could always post some pics up and get everyones faves made up ;-)

  • I came to look, to PM Sarah, I guess she must have left? :(

    hugs for EVERY ONE. I do miss this thread! xx
    Nevertheless she persisted.
  • Hi Im still here and pushing on. My dad home now from hospital, his teeth dont fit anymore so he having to pay £500 for new pair. He has pain in his back which is the cancer but hes eating again and more comfortable at home.
    My best friend david is moving back to scotland living with his parents till he gets a job up there near dumfries, boo hoo he leaves thursday but hes bought me little presents, wine, heather plants and choccies, we are very supportive of each other as hes in debt too only he has a divorce to go through and no mortgage, so we always support each other with lots of hugs and time listening to each other. I hope to visit him before xmas or during xmas in my car as its not too far.

    Im starting a spending diary/notebook in oct when I get paid.
    Ive put a restriction on xmas presents this year, five for my daughter and little bits in a stocking for her. Big cut backs.

    Dating wise I have completely given up on sites. Ive lost enthusiasm but concentrating on my health and my friends.
    Going for physio soon for my tendonitis in shoulder and operation on my thumb in november. got to get tooth repaired too but that will have to wait as it will be £45.

    Still keeping cheerful.;)

    Having one of those months, my uncle has died he had cancer and his funeral is on Monday 11th I am getting fed up of people in my family dying from cancer it's like were jinxed, I've been asked by a friend to go see the Manics on the 11th, he's paid for the ticket and really want to go.

    We are getting a bonus at work before Christmas and really need it my DD for gas and electricity as gone up.

    Was out on Saturday night and got talking to this guy who I thought was ok, gave him my number but do you think he's texted or rang? course he ain't don't really know what I expected, just lately my luck as been like a bit of good luck then a big dose of bad luck, I could scream, but I'll live when I've finished screaming.

    Thanks Souk it'll be my sister's funeral next, she's always going on about family's should stick together, but she doesn't think she can get time off work for the funeral, and apparently Uncle isn't close family, well stupid me I thought it was, told her not to bother I'll go with my brother wouldn't want to put her out, she does my head in sometimes. Right going to do some work and try not to snap at anyone, rant well and truly over it's what I should have expected.
