    pap hun you are capable of doing whatever you put your mind too. Trouble is having the support of your family helps, them be littling you and making you fee like you are not worth the !!!!! on the floor won't encourage you to do anything. When you get to your goal weight on CD that will be a massive achievement that you have accomplished on your OWN..we will be SO proud of you even if no-one else is. I then have a feeling that will kick start a domino effect and nothing will get in your way. Some people don't like change and are threatened by it...telling you, you haven't done anything to be proud of is a way of making you feel down and in turn stopping you from changing.

    Have a big huggle from us all, new day tomorrow and you stick to your guns! When they ask for money again, say "sorry I can't, as I don't earn enough I thought I had better start putting money away so that I can support myself and not rely on you when I do get a new job and move on"
    I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And breakaway. I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway ....

    Pap - Maybe it's time to move out?

    And you're not boring us....this is the place to come and get it out of your system.

    Would love to Pooky but I cant afford it. Even a house share is £300 before food :rolleyes: See above for cleaning :D

    Thanks for lettuing me rant all, I have been holding it in for days now but she just took the biscuit earlier :rolleyes:

    Pap, it sounds like they treat you like cinder-bleedin-ella hun :mad:
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    Ohhh no I have to do the cleaning to make up the 'missing' part of my keep. Lil bro pays £175 includes everything and food. I pay £120 with no food. But I pay house insurance of £17 a month and then have to do cleaning to make up the missing parts :rolleyes: Friday I did 8 loads of washing and drying and cleaned the house from top to bottom (my room bathroom and all downstairs), dont know why I bothered though because its a tip again :mad:


    um somthing doesn't quite add up here
    £175 everything included and does sod all earning £1000 a month
    £137 no food, all housework earning £500.

  • Funny? You want funny? OK girls (girls - that's gotta earny me some brownie points!), here you go :

    A rabbit walks in to a bar and says to the barman "can I have a carrott".

    Barman replies : "I don't have carrotts, sorry".

    The rabbit walks out but returns the next day and asks "can I have a carrott".

    Barman says "um, I still don't have any carrotts" so the rabbit leaves.

    The following day, the rabbit returns. He asks the barman "can I have a carrott". By now, the frustrated barman replies "right, if you ask me for another effing carrott I'll nail your ears to this bar".

    The rabbit leaves.

    The next day the rabbit enters the bar and says to the barman "do you have any nails?". The barman says "no". The rabbit says "got any carrotts?".
