Hi Obi
Glad you are getting things sorted!
Get to town and get a new dress bought (but dont go too mad)

Hi Obi
I just wanted to say good luck with the sale of the shop - I have come to believe that you get light bulb moments about other things than Debt and you just know that this is the next move for you. It might not happen immediately but the change will occur and it is right.
That was a bit deep for a Monday night - sorry. Its just that I have a greater belief in my 'gut' instinct and tend to follow it more than when I was younger and made stupid choices like staying with my ex for so many years. I have to say I am happier as a result if much poorer!
Take care
Me.
PS. can't wait for the new shop - will have venture deep into north east Lincolnshire for a visit.....November NSD 1/10Weight loss - 7lbs from the 41 I need to loose = 34 to go0 -
Hi Obi,
My divorce was 5 years old in April.....when my absolute came through, I took a bottle of champagne round to my bezzie mate's house & the gang of girls who get on a Friday night helped me drink it before we went to the pub, followed by Brannigans & then a local Indian restaurant!
I vote for the Monsoon ballgown - it's your party, after all!2021 Decluttering Awards: ⭐⭐🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇 2022 Decluttering Awards: 🥇

Yay! Monsoon ballgown it is then chicks. Trouble is we'll be going to a rock club afterwards, but hey, it's my party and I'll look like a tit if I want to.
Bit of a trying day, chicks, my ebay account has been popped on hold for not paying my fees (oops, naughty me) but 'm getting it sorted tomorrow when my WTC hits. Had a 5 minute argument with some !!!!!! from Rossendales bailiff co. about my VAT bill. Apparently I'm down as a man, and had to work hard to convince the stupid boy that I was a woman, and yes, it would have been me who saw to the matter, and obviously the bailiff that visited (Mr Tango, Neck-Bigger-Than-Head) must have been ingesting the self tan, as with post breastfed child boobs I most definately am a woman. Honstly!
I have posted off my letter to Barclays about my bank charges. My personal banker phoned and I basically got her to give me the totals over the phone. It's a whopping *£2k* on business & personal accoun for the last 2 years. I'm having that back!!
Am having a lazy night tonight with bath and face mask, as I have my freind coming over tomorrow night to do me a tarot reading, and then Thursday is P*SSUP NIGHT!!!! Yay!!!! So, I probably won;t be on, but will try and sneak on Thursday morning before I go to get the paperwork. I'll be here, mightily hung over on Friday tho!
Apart from that everything's dandy, chicks. Lots of people asking for money I haven't got all at once, but that's life eh? Got rent due next week, plus VAT people are wailing, and the the bailiff co that deals witht he counil tax arrears returned the cheque, so that has to be paid asap. Not to mention the suppliers, getting money in the bank for orders, etc. I think I need a good pissup!
Did get a question aboutt he shop on Ebay, turned out to be a total waste of space asking if the shop is really made of wool, and is there storage for the singing potatoes. Some people have way too much time on their hands.
I haven;t heard from Lawman, or Dotty, so I expct pm's or emails. Dotty - I hope you're feeling better love, yu worry me girl. If you were closer (I am of course assuming you're far away - you could be next village over) I'd invite you out on my divorce party. In fact, any of you guys going to be near Grimsby Saturday night get thee to The Barge and keep an eye out for a spectacularly overdressed midget in a raspberry ballgown. That's me, and you must come up and say hello, stop spending money.
Right, I'm off to get lost in some new manga, and eat dips in the bath. Oh the simple pleasures........
Tip for today - When you're in bed tonight tense up everything. Scrunch up your face, tense your back and clenth your fists. Then relax everything, and breathe out in a whoosh. Do it again until you feel really relaxed.You'll realise how tense you are all the time without you noticing.This year I'm getting organised once and for all, and going to buy a house with my wonderful other half. And that' s final!

I've seen that tried to be used as a chat-up line. "Let me see if you're a real woman!" He must fancy you...
