    Hey WA

    Big squashy hugs... hope you are feeling a bit more positive today?

    Rubbish that the LP didn't work and the headaches are back. I used to be really bad and was physically sick with my headaches (not great as I was bussing it an hour away to uni at the time - being sick on a bus is never good; less so when people assume you must be hungover!), so I appreciate how debilitating they can be!

    Did the tatooist manage to fit you in? What did you/are you getting done? Where? I'm too scared to go for it, but I'm not the only member of my immediate family not to havea tatoo :eek:. What's that all about ;)?

    I started typing this the other day and my moden died!! I am now offline at home until the 16th at least :(:(:(

    Anyway, Hi Bunny Lover! Nice to see you here, and welcome to my diary. It's not getting updated as much as I would like it to be, but I am hoping to be back properly when the net is reinstated! Look forward to reading about your journey. Are you doing MH branch?

    Hey Nicca! How are you doing? I am gutted that the LP didn't work, I don't know what it next, have to wait until April now to find out. How are your headaches these days? Did you sort them out? It is a horrid thing that people have no idea, and think how can you be off for so long with something you can cure with a paracetamol! If only it was so easy eh!

    I went to the tattooist, but he was fully booked until June! Still, I booked in the next available slot, which is the 15th June! I am so excited, and an even bigger bonus being that it is only going to cost £80! I am so chuffed, I thought it would be at least £100. Woohoo! This is is which I am going to have done on my back :)

    I am thinking about getting the smaller one done in the meantime, some blue cherry blossoms on my wrist.
    I have 5 at the moment, cherry blossoms and a hidden pentacle on my right wrist, a celtic love knot on my left, a tripple crescent on my left ankle though I will be getting something else there sometime soon! :) and a kitty on my right ankle. On my back, I have wings (gothic ones) stars and cherry blossoms, so the rose one is going to be be done above that going up to my bra strap!

    Go for it if you want one, they don't hurt TOO bad! :-D :-D

    I've still not started packing yet for the move, am dreading it! But then once I am there and have my BB and Sky back up and running i'll be fine :-D

    As for my money! Well I have tried to be good, I have moved £100 into a saving account this month, ( i know people say you should get stuff paid off before savings, but I like to know that I have some money put aside should I need it in an emergency) Also, I will be having £120 a month extra from renting a room for a couple of weeks a month so that can be my savings :)

    I am tying to live on £150 per month now, so it's going ok so far, but it's only the 3rd of the month!!!

    I couldn't see the link :(

    I really feel for you not having BB - mine was off for 4 months when I biught my new house (miscommunication between the two providers, grrr). I was bereft!

    My headaches eased a bit when I was less busy and I know know they are totally linked to stress. But, bl**dy h*ll, they do knock you out, don't they? I try to drink loads of water so dehydration is part of the equation, but I'm not very good at that so it probably doesn't help.

    Let us know when you are back up and running and good luck for the move. I've never much bothered to pack too much in advance and it's never been a major problem for me (my magic helpers may disagree :D).

    Ah bum! I will have to try posting another link! http://quicksilverfury.deviantart.com/art/Gothic-Rose-Tattoo-Print-V1-59758058(dont know if this is going to work)

    It's starting to get to me now without it! Withdrawals are not good! Lol. Still it should be up and running a coupe of days after I am in the new house thanks goodness!!

    They really do knock you, there is nothing that help mine whatsoever so when they hit I am fit for nothing!

    I have done something either very stupid or something that will change my life....I have signed up for an interview to nurse in Australia!! I have to send off my CV etc, and wait and see what happens! EEP!!!!!!!

    :j:j:j Wow...
    Loving the tatoo, it's fab! And may just convert me if I could figure out where I'd want one and if I could deal with the pain (actually it's the anticipation of the pain that gets me. When I got my tummy button pieced I was jumping a mile from the spray to freeze the tummy. I was fine once we got past that bit!). Is it booked in now?

    Wow on the Australia interview!!!! That's very brave! I've been getting immigration emails and speech therapy emails since I qualified but have been too scared to take the plunge! Let us know how it goes!

    I hope you are surviving without brodband and, even though you'll probably not see this until you're safely moved and up and running, I just wanted to say good luck with the move and let you know I'm thinking of you. I know you're a bit worried about it!

    Will pop back in a few days to check up on you :D.

    I know exactly what you mean about needing MSE to keep spending under control! The thought of reporting back to the crazy clothes challenge and the book chalenge keep me well in check! And knwoing I'll have to admit to my stupid moments in my diary :D!

    Hrry up BB!!! I was without it for 4 months when I moved into my flat! I felt as thought I had no idea what was going on in the world without it!

    Hey Anonymoose, how's you?
