    Today's positives
    • United won
    • 'the man' picked up when I rang :)
    Otherwise, pretty rubbish day - all sorts going on at work, sad and unsettling :(


    Oh, sorry that work is not so good at the moment :grouphug:, have you completed your shiny new CV ?


    However,
    Yay for man stuff :j - just relax & enjoy it ... but NO MORE asking him out :naughty:

    Be fabulous, flirty & fun & let him do all the work ... that's what men are for ( when they're not carrying our shopping bags) :D

    Do you know i've said it before but Lula talks a lot of sense, they aren't there just to carry bags tho.

    Ok, well there is the obvious :D

    I'm thoroughly enoying my casual flirtation with work guy ... & I have to say that if I didnt have DD here I'd be such a tart :rotfl:

    Only joking ;)

    Still feeling quite down - and have been eating for England :o

    Looks like my job is safe but a couple of friends look likely to be made redundant :( Not a nice atmosphere to be in!

    Had a chat with 'the man' on Tuesday - not going anywhere but I think we can try to recover our friendship :)

    Today's positives
    • Am having my nails done
    • Lunch with a friend
    Today's targets
    • Get back on track with my diet
    • Send my updated CV to an agency
    Sometimes it's hard to walk in a single woman's shoes - that's why we need really special ones!

    Hiya Shoesy

    So glad you had a chat with the manny. Sounds like it cleared that 'will we, won't we' thing.
    Sorry you're still feeling low but enjoy your day and hopefully some beautifying and a gossipy lunch should lift your spirits for a bit.
    Also glad you're not in danger of losing your job but having an atmospher sucks. We are having the same type thing at my work and it's really horrendous.
    have a nice day!

    Big decision made - I am looking for a new job :eek: Have realised me and my current company just don't 'fit' :( I love my actual job but there is no progression, so no way to increase salary :mad: - so I have decided it's time to move on!

    I have given myself 3 months :eek: So far I have sent my CV to 2 agencies, put it on Monster and applied for 2 jobs (neither of which I have much chance of getting but will give me an idea how my CV is recieved)

    Strangely - now I have a plan/goal I feel better already :D My deadline is 1st December and I am hoping for a whole new Shoe Gal, am planning to get on track with other stuff too - diet, image, debt busting (think I'll abandon man hunting for while :o)

    Wow to your action plan :T

    You sound so positive & determined it's great :A.
    I'll be looking to you for inspiration, I seem to be floundering at the moment :(

    Eating is bad though - need to get on track with that :o
