    Flat not good so staying where I am! Just not for me.

    Had a great night at my mates but very hungover today. Went into work tonight for a few hours to help my boss clean BOH. It was great!

    Just ordered a mates pressie on Quidco. Having to use the CC for his pressie (only £8) as had forgot all about it and just not enough cash left with all the things I have to do this month. Could have a date Tuesday and off Saturday which will be nice. Next week one of my FWB's is up and I have a night out at a gig thing planned too. All good.

    Hey all, went out with FWB for something to eat last night and then at work early today. Date postphoned til Saturday now which is fine as I'm knackered and need to clean. Been ranting rather a lot lately and need to chill out. Fact that I'm always at work is not helping!!! Boss should be doing a few weeks rotas tomorrow so at least then I can plan in some fun! X

    Hey all, off today. Yippee and off out for a posh lunch today. Borrowing the money from a mate as have had such a !!!!!! few weeks and he offered.

    Decided to forget about going abroad this year. It's just too tight with flights and needing a new passport and I'd rather treat myself a bit when I'm working so hard. Still going to put £50 away a month so that when I get my time off work I can do nice things, but it will be in Britain. May do a bit of London or Edinburgh, a show, few nice meals and some shopping! Looking forward to it already.

    Need to clean and sort the house this morning as I may be a bit too merry to do it later!!! Got James on in the background though (of course).

    Enjoy your days X

    Oh souk, how dissapointing! Im sorry that going abroad wont work out for you this year. London and Edinburgh are both great cities though, and Im sure you'll have a great time without all the airport check in faf!
