Hi NG, Anglea & anyone else who's around

I haven't been up to much to be honest. I haven't been out properly for ages, apart from for my run & to the all night supermarket which don't really count.

NG it's true, those cans of pop do add up. I use to buy bottles of pop at college for £1.10, and 60p for sweets :eek: I'd do that 2-3 times a week. Definitely kicked that habit now, as I worked out how much it was costing me a month and then thought about what I could get for that money.

Anglea, I was watching the Cumbria story live yesterday, it was shocking I do wonder why it took them 3.5 hours to find him when they had helicopters and the area he covered was only 25-miles.

hi all

CL you do lead a very exciting life, almost as dramatic as mine LOL

Re Cumbria, I don't know if it is truth or not (as a lot is said then found out to be inaccurate) but it was mentioned today that he tried to get help from a hospital beforehand and was turned away. This type of story seems to be common with people who commit atrocities, either they are turned away from a psychiatric units or else their family tried to get help and nothing happened or else they were deemed ok and sent home. If it is true, the hospital staff must feel awful.

LOL Anglea... ahh the joys of being a hermit! Though if you think that's dull, then you want to see what my life was like a couple of years ago when I didn't go to college or exercise This is probably the busiest my life has ever been in a good few years.

I never heard that about him - if it's true, then I really hope that the government take note and invest more into the mental health side of the NHS. It's ridiculous the amount of time you have to wait for counselling/CBT on the NHS, no wonder a lot of people just give up. That's not to say that I feel sorry for the shooter guy - far from it.

Hi everyone

Today I tried on some clothes at the shops usual story - didn't fit, however I was wearing one of my new skirts which I'd been excercising to fit into. Strange thing is the other one which was an identical make and style, size but different colour, doesn't fit well, still too tight. In both cases, the waists are now too loose but the tum is still not right so had to wear a blouse over the top.

How are you all getting on?

Hi girlies, Need a night in tonight as I've had a really busy week. Sat was a work night out, Sunday was SATC, out for a meal last night with workmates, saw my FWB on Mon and had a mate round on Tuesday. Skint now!

CL why don't you do stuff, is it money? Sorry if that's nosy, just wondering since you're young?

BGT is on and I'm relaxing tonight X

Anglea

Hi girls, I was watching BGT too, cringing over the father and son act.

I just deleted one of my earlier posts on here because when I've just read it back I was wondering what on earth was going on. I finally realised that I must have started a post to CL then got called away from the comp, returned and thought I was writing to someone else on another site LOL - well, at least it's what I think must have happened. So apologies if you read it CL and were confused.

Souk, glad you are having a good time lately.

Hi Morocha :j

Lovely to see you back on here.

How's everyone else- quiet day. I stayed in and caught up with one of those chores I kept putting off - mowing the back lawn and weeding the patio - never realised it was so hot :mad: when I went out at noon, nearly crawled back indoors LOL.
