    Re NIM, they obviously think he's good but the experience thing is annoying - you need to be given the chance to gain experience! If he carried on where he was would that count as experience and they may consider him for promotion later in the year?

    Birdie that sounds like a really nice meal :) I'm hungry..

    Ooh I weighed in this morning and I've lost 2 pounds! I know this is since November but I don't care! This stress thing is obviously working for me.. :rolleyes:

    Cinny what challenges/aims are you doing at the mo? I'm doing a £2 jar, and was gonna do a £365 in 365 days but decided to just keep doing my change pot. And my dooyoo stash but that doesn't seem to be going too well at the mo.

    I hope you manage to find a flat sooner rather than later Wendz, you must be itching to move out, and Lara too! And that is weird about the oven! It must be really good or something!

    Seems like lots of people are ill at the moment so hope you feel better soon if you're ill!

    Dinah, have you used your vouchers for airmiles before? You probably already know but you get double I think if you exchange before March 21st, if you haven't done it before. We're thinking of going to Rome because I have enough vouchers saved. :)

    Well done on the weight loss Zig! Update your sig! I've lost.... nothing!

    It sounds like you won't be struggling for work Lulu! Well done on being officially fab and wanted!

    I'm getting my nails done tomorrow, and I need it! 4 have come off today and it looks really stupid now as the remaining ones are painted pink with purple tips! I'll have to wear my gloves around town in the morning to hide my shame!

    Oh dont make me jealous!! I went and had my nails (obviously not my real ones) taken off today. Decided the £40 a month i spend on them would be better going towards the savings. They didnt look that bad when she took them off though and are quite long - just hoping they done break!

    *looks down at own nails, which are unpainted, wonky and all different lengths, and tries not to think about her right big toenail which is still threatening to fall off* :eek:

    LOL! When we were on holiday we got talking to a girl who had fake toenails... OH said to me, quite loudly, 'You should get that done, you've got horrible toenails'! :rolleyes: They're not that bad!

    Unlucky to NIM regarding the promotion, but maybe a blessing in disguise, he was on the lookout anyway wasnt he?

    Dinah, how are you getting on with the 10K Challenge? You'd ordered some stock hadnt you?

    He's on the lookout not because he doesn't like the job, just because the salary is so poor. He has found a LOT of jobs he wants to apply for. Only problem is he has no holiday days so hes going to have to take unpaid leave and pretend its to take me to hospital appointments if he gets interviews.

    Yep bought some stock, listed the first of it on ebay yesterday. Have a canny bit more I should really have gotten done today, but I just didnt feel on great form.

    Lol :rotfl::rotfl: I know what you mean. I really want nice nails but mine would make a chicken plucker look attractive!! The only good thing is that one thing I got for Christmas was a voucher for a local beauty salon. I'd need a couple of 00000 on the end of the voucher to have enough to pay for everything that needs doing but at least I can start!!

    Birdie, those dresses over the past few days have been very.....Bright....and Revealing....in fact I think my sister wore one of those when she went to my nephew's passing out parade and she was falling over her tongue over all the soldiers!!!!!

    NIM, well done on completing the module and for getting that stuff sorted at work. If you'd sat there all week doing nothing as instructed by your 'colleague' there would certainly have been words said so way to go!

    Zig, well done on the weight loss. I hope I manage to lose some when I weigh myself on Monday :eek:

    Hope everyone else is having a good day? xx
    Let's start again (really need a kick up the bum now) :wall:

    I know! I'd be paranoid about them getting caught on socks and shoes and ripping my actual nail off! You can buy DIY fake toenail packs, who'd use them?!

    Talking about bright revealing dresses.... :p
