    OOo so you are all here! Hi all. Mol thanks again for the graph & dont worry aboit the graph - very pretty though & always nice to buck the trend!! Just had a chinese & G&T in order - even if I do cry later! Feel shattered, had a nothingy day and despite doing stuff all day got nothing done IYKWIM! Added to that am on call all weekend so get dosh but on call! Having my hair done tom (DFW's scream in terror!!)...I tried dying it myself and it looked SOOOOO bad (patchy, wrong color & just dire & obviously home done!) that after 6 months have decided that its one thing I'm going to have to spend money on...other than that have a relatively quiet weekend but have had a manic & emotional week so need it as feel emotionally & ohysically drained. On top of it all my poor mum has shingles! At last paid my cheques in which balanced out the tesco shop and MUST fill in my spening diary! Been v. bad & this is the main thing that keeps me on the straight & narrowish! How you all doing?

    Hahahahahah - yep, that's me, bucking the trend!! Trust you to have a positive slant on it for me!! Sorry to hear about your mum hun hope she gets better soon.

    Am also not going to have a go about the hairdressers firstly because as you know I have just bought two tickets for the charlatans but also because sometimes you do need to do these things and not kill yourself being frugal ALL the time. Make sure you make the absolute most of it though and enjoy being pampered. Hopefully it will give you a new lease of life!!

    Ok girls (& any boys that may be reading!). Have had v. exciting day! Got my ring...piccie attached! Loved it so much that I cried (v. embarassing!). Its stunning & a permanent reminder of my lovely granny who is forever in my heart but also now on my finger! Also got my hair done which is nice but slightly darker than I would have chosen! Watching movies & chilling with wine. Not a good DFW day at all but some things are more important! Hugs all!

    eek...wont let me attach piccie how do I do it! Asking for an url...what on earth is THAT!!

  • Hi ff. I'm so pleased that you love the ring. I'll try to work out how to explain attaching the picture but hopefully mola will be along first. I'm assuming you attach the graph roughly the same way.:confused:
    We would all love to see it:T

    Have a lovely Sunday

    try again...thanks once again to the techie boards! Ring as you can see is gorgeous. Sitting in hairdressers realised that it actually sparkles and almost cried when I realised that I've never actually owned "bling" before, not being a jewellry person! For those that dont know why I got the ring (been a bit of a saga!). My granny died in Jan & there was a huge dilemma about whether to pay all money into debt or buy the ring, which I designed 3 years ago as my eventual reward for loosing weight (lost some but not all!!). After much discussion with my DFW friends, family & myself I decided that I would get the ring. I know that it SHOULD go to debt but also felt that in this instance getting it later would not be the same as it would be my money buying it rather than granny's. I'm not trying to justify it but wanted to explain why the ring is so special to me - just hope I dont get mugged!!. Problem is now that when the man of my dreams wants get buy the biggie bling he's going to struggle to beat this one!! Guess the diamond will just have to sparkle MORE with a big round diamond!!! LOL

    oh yes, just a quickie for positive vibes please! Glasses saga continues & in short large optician were going to put new lenses in my frameless glasses for my new prescription. Being a good DFW I hunted out old prescription & its identical to the last one so am going in today to challange them about it...not looking forward to it but hope to get money back as never able to wear glasses anyway as pescrition too strong & compleatly different from other glasses..Having my eyes tested again today to be certain I get the right script before I have lenses changed.ahhhhh why is nothing ever simple?
