Well, was nice to see my friends in London and Brighton. We meet up 2-3 times a year and it's nice to have kept in tought since '03! How the time flies...
Went for a walk on Valentine's Day which was really nice, weather was beautiful. Then bf cooked my favourite meal (by him) fish curry (peppered mackarel and prawns -it's so yummy!). I got a card but no flowers. He got a card, but no flowers
. I usually by him one single red rose, but as I was away, and then we were on the walk when shops were open, there was no chance.
Pay day yesterday. Only makes me happy to see the money going in, and then next day, it's already gone...Must start looking for those jobs!!! Can't live like this. Supposedly 21 months to DF Day...DEBT FREE OCTOBER 2012!Proud to have dealt with my debts!0
