I'm sorry for the demon I've become but you should be sorry for the angel you are not.0 -
Lilmissmupp - you've done everything you can, time to move on now. close that door firmly behind you & step into your new life :A.
Souk08 - I like your saying, I shall be using that at every possible opportunity
I've been tidying my room in a vain attempt to set an example to DD :rolleyes:.
I have now moved musicbox into my bedroom as I never listen to the decent one in the living room & seems silly to have 3 of the things when only 2 of us living here ... & it's not exactly a huge place, so will be passing on the oldest of the 3.
I've also moved the wardrobe & chest of drawers in to a more 'feng shui' location.
I also have loads of bits of crap that I desperately want to throw away but cant for sentimental type reasons. The 2 boxes of photos that I was meant to have sorted through last christmas have gone back on top of the wardrobe too.
I wish I had some alchocolahol but hopefully will see the benefits of abstaining one day.
Need to do more tidying, decluttering, cleaning & washing in the morning then meeting my sis for a walk after lunch so will at least get some exercise.0 -
Ooh I got a birthday card that says 'Get out of my way I'm fabulous'! That's a great phrase to use too!

Lilmissmup, sorry you are feeling so carp, we have all been through it, not that that is much comfort at the moment. My only advice from my own experience is that you must cut all contact of any decription, I know it's hard but it is really the only way through it. You got that email because he is trying to keep you dangling because it suits his ego to know he can still have an effect on you. I don't blame you for responding, I would have done the same, but it won't stop until you ignore him. He's not going to stop, he's enjoying the ego boost. Every response from you, even of the "f**k you" variety is showing him he still has an effect on you. Don't let him think that.
If he keeps messaging you and you don't respond he will get bored. He's like the school bully, hoping for a reaction and like all bullies he will move on to someone else if he gets nothing back from you. You are well rid of him. Hold your head up high, remember you are far too good for him and thank your lucky stars you are not still in that destructive relationship.Pay/save £20k in 2010 £5888.75/£20,000June Mini target 0/5lbs Total 23/40Ebay profit 2010: March £207:) April £95:) May £130:) June £0 Total £432:j0 -

Hello to ailsajayne29 , welcome to fabulousness :rotfl:
Sarah - :j for choccies. I must confess that I did have the Baileys last night but it really was a mere mouthful so you havent missed much.
I'm attempting sobriety for a whole week :eek: Main reason being that my resistance has risen somewhat & rather than one glass being sufficient to relax & inspire me, I was finding that 3 was much more fun & necessary to achieve the desired affect. I cannot afford to have 3 bottles a week ... oh really :mad: this debt is just no fun at all.

I can thoroughly recommend the deal, it's fab, I have got loads of stuff here:jThe Baileys is the principle of the matter more than anything.I'm attempting sobriety for a whole week :eek: Main reason being that my resistance has risen somewhat & rather than one glass being sufficient to relax & inspire me, I was finding that 3 was much more fun & necessary to achieve the desired affect.

I have cut down a great deal recently too, a combination of not being in the mood/knowing it contributes to my weight/the cost of it/not feeling great in the morning. I am going to try to cut it down in the week, with a one glass in the evening being the absoulte maximum.Pay/save £20k in 2010 £5888.75/£20,000June Mini target 0/5lbs Total 23/40Ebay profit 2010: March £207:) April £95:) May £130:) June £0 Total £432:j0 -
Nice one Sarah... I did go and have a look on the site after you'd mentioned it and I got everything in the basket and decided against it coz I know I'd have definitely eaten it all
Thanks for the link for the daily clicks. I've not had a look just yet, I kept getting kicked off here yesterday :mad:
Hi ailsajayne :wave: You're certainly not the only one SAID! Well done on getting to goal with WW, I'm sure if you've done it before then you can can do it again.
Makeup I hope you had a successful shopping day :j And good luck for tomorrow's 6hr play...rather you than meI'm with you about Lloyd... although I'd prefer Jedward to go but they're not going to :mad: I'd like to see Olly, Joe and Stacy in the final.
LMM.... I can't say anymore than the other have already said but remember you're F Fabulous. And you are in no way a failure, although I do understand why you feel like that. I'm going to join in the pervy hug :grouphug: and wish you lots of luck for your future :A
Oh ladies I'm so glad I'm not a wine drinker... I'm already emotional/skint/fat without it. Although it sounds so appealing/relaxing when you's mention having a glass.
I hope you're all enjoying your Sat night! I've had a nice cosy night in, watched Children in Need Rock the Royal Albert Hall and thoroughly enjoyed it. Snow Patrol & Cheryl Cole gave me goose pimples doing set fire to the third bar. God that woman's gorgeous!Initial Debt July 2020 - £6,772.80

Hiya, I was going to type a reply on Thursday about the giving blood, but spilt tea on my laptop, let it dry out all day Friday and it's working like new, fingers crossed I don't do that again.
I'm gad Bowski's ok my sis flooded a couple of years back and it was a nightmare.
Lula I got my new laptop from Tesco it seemed a good price, but once you've made the decision and bought one, two weeks later a better deal comes along, but this once fast enough and at least I get on here.
I got upto page 47 and I too love quidco got my sis hooked on it, I was at her house on Saturday and she was telling me about her bargains, and I was smiling, she said I'd got her hooked and now it's my turn to listen about saving money. I'll catch up on the thread and be back later.0
