    Lol I have it in pink and blue, I'm unsure which one I'm going to be using, the zip and lining is cream so it will work with either. Again not something I can see me really wearing, a bit cutesy, but its cheap and good practice.

    What a sweet cat Tete! He is lovely :cool:

    Handing in my notice went surprisingly well, and it *really* felt good! My boss is going away for 2 weeks which is a bit of a pain, it means we will have to wait for ages to do interviews, and then with the 4 weeks notice there'll be no training time. Hmm, cross that bridge when we come to it I think. But we had some really great applications already which is super.

    Lulu, nonsense, you're doing really well - soon you'll be back in credit and no charges at all.

    I'm off for a week in March (scarily soon) and then from October onwards for 8 months supposedly. Everything in my whole life is To Be Confirmed, but I am learning to like it.... (sort of).....

    You're so brave Lara! I could never be as outgoing as that, you're so interesting!! I dont care if i sound like a geek saying that, i'm so dull and boring in comparison!! :D

    Came on here with news! I play the free bingo on a couple of the sites, but they always have like 200 odd players so never even get close to winning. Anyway, found 40p in one of my old accounts yesterday, so bought 8 bingo tickets with it and won £11.87...went to withdraw and it said the minimum withdrawal was £30 :eek: so i played it through and lost it. Anyway, forgot all about it. Logged in just now, to play the free games and i seem to have won a fiver from somewhere?! So i played it through and won £30.52 in the space of about 2 minutes! So i withdrew my £30 and lost the 52p.
    So happy! Not only have i won £30 from nothing, but i wasnt tempted to play on and i didnt risk any of my own cash in the process!! :j

    Sorry for waffling on! Sounds silly, but im so proud of myself!! xx

    Thanks Tink! You too, you really put so much time and effort into Dooyoo, wish i could crank out as many reviews as you!
    Got to update my sig soon, as soon amounts have risen due to charges, need to figure out where i am with the situation again!

    Still struggling to find a job. Wouldnt be so bad if they contacted me to say, thanks but no thanks, but im getting blanked a hell of alot! Driving me up the wall!

    Love the pans, Tete! And a bargain too :D
    I've only had 33 on the one I put up at about 4pm yesterday, I get an average of about 50 rates I'd say - I have one review with 100 but that's the exception! I know that people like Poddle have hundreds of rates on their reviews, but she rates a lot bit doesn't write an awful lot - I guess you have to find the balance that works for you.

    I don't have that many rates, do I?! I tend to click through and rate others when I log on, but unfortunately it's not often. And I hardly ever write reviews, which is stupid as I actually quite enjoy it when I do!
    Yes Lara but tomorrow it's Wednesday and then it's practically Friday... Yack to the vaccination cost, but it'll be worth it (esp as you won't be stricken down with some tropical disease!) - when is it you go? Have you handed your notice in yet, how did that go?

    Here is my cat:

    He's a bit wonky but charming I think!

    Yeah, he's super lovely! I can't wait to get my hands on a sewing machine! My mum gave me the Cath Kidston 'Make' book for Christmas and there's so much I want to do, I just need to set aside the time. I can't believe it's already mid-Feb!

    Well done Lara! That's SO exciting :) I think I know the feeling - everything in my life seems to depend on other things happening, so can't quite plan, but I too am trying to embrace it!

    Lulu, you're doing so well with your debts - yay for the free win and resisting the temptation. I'm going on Dooyoo tonight so I'll get up to date with your rates - every little helps, eh? Job hunts are so frustrating, but persevere and something will turn up soon! x

    Thanks Poddle, that would be lovely :D I'm reading & rating through yours now, i've already rated the more recent ones before.
    I cleaned the house from top to bottom on Monday, but the kids were round again yesterday, so looks like a bombs hit it. Need to smarten the place up a little bit, but not doing too much because i've got them again tomorrow until Saturday.
    Going to look through all my sisters paperwork, she might be entitled to claim back sold misold insurance on her loan. Dont know why i can sort other peoples money out, but panic/ignore when it comes to mine :o
