    Hey C

    Good luck with the goals, especially with taking lunch to work. If I worked in canterbury I'd be hopeless at that, I'd be out getting a jacket potato everyday!

    :) thanks all

    My parents have just come down to see me, and stocked me up on some serious fruit and veg. So thats me being super healthy this week at least.

    Bless them, they do worry about me now I'm on my own.

    I've written up my letters and even done a compalint letter to Tesco about some spare ribs I got from there. So just need envelopes, stamps and addresses, surely the hard parts over!

    :T Well done

    I accidentally stole 20 first class stamps from work yesterday (I tend to walk round with them in my pocket in anticipation of stamp emergencies) and forgot to take them out. Gonna take them back on tuesday, I feel so guilty :rotfl:

    SHOCKING!


    So far I've spent £26.99 but I had planned for that purchases!
    It was on a bistro table set with two chairs, which was really good value and I think flatmate is going to give me half too, so thats good, but the chair they gave me from display (only had one in the back) was cracked (I didnt even see it first time round) and he told me I could have it free! So I got a table and three chairs!

    I think that was pretty good, got stocked up with plenty of food too to eat at my new table, just need some sunshine now!!!!

  • Hey CAFCGirl,

    I just wanted to say - it sounds like you are doing really well just now and sound really motivated.

    Are things any better with your boyfriend? I seem to remember you'd had an argument a couple of weeks ago? Good luck with the job search too!

    Enjoying your diary lots

    Love

    well I havent got a day off till saturday now anyway! :(

    Hey Scots' - in regard to the boyf situation, we had the big monumental maybe we shouldnt be together chat, and that was all very highly emotional, then we seemed to be ok. Havent spoken to him much over the past week not because Im still angry with him but I think we both needed our own space.

    Issues between me and him aren't really issues if that makes sense. We've both got so much going on outside our relationship that it seems to take a back seat and has done for quite some time. Now we just need to get back to enjoying each other, and our relationship. He's been away for the weekend, and we've been in contact so thats a good thing, but not too much.

    It doesnt make much sense out on paper, but I'm hoping this is the start of a new era in our relationship, where we're not eaten up by outside forces, so I'm actually thinking about what I can plan out for us this weekend.

    We seem to spend much of our time not really doing anything in particular, just existing, so I want us to get back to enjoying our time together, and doing something a bit different, any big ideas?

    anyone?
