    Good idea with the money tin. I think I'll need counselling before I get that bag out LOL

    I dip in & out of Hollyoaks when I'm bored. But yeah, I love 'mock the week', 'would i lie to you' & most of the stuff on Dave :) Plus it's the only channel with decent stuff on late at night.

    NG: I just looked up that guy from Holby (had no idea who we was), good looking but not my type. Hahh, I rarely watch Casualty, but when I do it's for one reason only... the eye candy. But I forget what his name is :o My mum thinks he's ugly though - I'm always told that I have bad taste!

    Ohh I didn't realise you meant pay day. Bet you're excited :) To be honest I hardly ever go on holiday, so don't really get the opportunity to do much airport shopping... I think most stuff you can find cheaper online :o I usually end up spending far too much on sweets though!

    Anglea, I'm the same with old bags, just can't get rid (I don't know why it made me laugh when I typed that!) I have two new ones now but kept my old holey one. I'll never use it again, but still... We are strange, aren't we.

    Nope, not him. My mum loves him though... she always has, ever since his days as David Wicks! The one I'm thinking of has curly hair and is younger. I will go have a look on google and find out his name.

    Jay (apparentely). He looks a bit like Stephen Mangan, my other huge crush.

    Oh Mr Nick Jordan, now he IS a reason to stop in on a saturday night - along with that other fella, the one who married Jess? He is rather tasty.

    Didn't realize there was a Holby thread on here :O Think I might have to go investigate tonight!!

    But I used to watch eastenders for the eye candy of Jack Branning. What has happend to him :( hes in hospital but hes completely lost his looks. tut tut 'stenders!

    CL - you mean that reception guy?

    Im the same can't throw handbags away - they all live in storage boxes under my bed and my clutch bag draws. same with shoes htough I had a clear out on ebay in March 09 and I hated sending my shoes away for just a few quid so I keep them all now lol. Admittedly theres a couple of pairs who are ready to go to the big shoebox in the sky, but not yet :)

    Ooo I enjoyed Holby tonight - disappointed there was only a small bit with my sexy dr Joseph byrne on though!
    WB Little chicken, I was thinking about you the other day and whether you recieved the book?

    Hi Hun, Yes I did:D:D:D I thought I sent you a PM, but it was just before I went on holiday so sorry that I didn't;) I took it away with me and read it when my flight was delayed for 24 hours. I prefered the saving Karyn one. How about you? Have you read them both?

    CL - it is sunny - in London at least. I went out without my jacket and everything yesterday. LOL.

    I went shopping with my friend on Saturday and she spent a fortune. She deserves it - and can afford it, but it made me go on my own spree yesterday. I really need to get my CV updated and my butt into gear on the job front:(

    Hope you're all being better behaved than me. LCx

    Today's a good one.

    Found some unused, unopened, unwanted creams I won in a competition; took them to a certain store, exchanged them for a bottle of perfume I've wanted for ages and just paid the difference. Chuffed to bits.

    Also sold 2 CDs, 3 DVDs and a discman.

    Still throwing things out...
