    Hi all

    FR, you two stories reminded me of that segment on the radio was it Stever Wright? Where they played romantic music and related listeners experiences. Do you know the one I mean?

    Yes Anglea, it was Steve Wright's Sunday Love Songs!

    I guess we all have stories we can tell, thanks for telling me one of yours.

    ooh, and latest update from Beau, he was online when I was out today

    It translates as 'You're not here how will I reach you my sweet wife' - looks like the romance is back on! And he has amended his facebook profile picture to one of both of us.

    I just left a message to say it was a nice day and I had gone for a walk in the park.

    CL, I'm nearly up to £400 and have more to add
    NG, I am also loving decluttering as I had so much STUFF I never wear and no space to move. I've even found things I forgot I had. :)

    Not been on any sprees...being really good at the moment. There are 2 amazing next season dresses (they're in our stock room ready to go out) at work I will be buying at a 25% staff discount (if they fit) as they're gorgeous and wearable...and would look great in an office environment which is where I'd rather be working...going to be stepping up the job hunting as people talk to me like a f***ing amoeba just because I work in a shop (and it's a big step up from Primarni where I used to work).

    Hullo ladies! I have returned from the South alive and in one piece.
    Had an excellent time and loads of fun meeting my extended family- is something I often miss being out here in the sticks.
    Weather was awful until Sunday when it got far too hot to think! But I was well looked after and had a great time- even if I didn't set footin the shops or see Cadburyland!
    Didn't spend a penny either.
    Though I just bought MOBO tickets just now for october for a hefty price. Something I willld o once and say it was fun but probably won't repeat.
    How are you all doing?
    CL & FE- well done on your ebaying
    Anglea- hopefully your appointment went ok and that form is almost done
    NGlady- All tidied up?
    Frog- is it me or did you call Beau your 'boyfriend'?...

    Glad you had a lovely time Ziggles

    Haha, I don't actually think of Beau as a current or potential boyfriend. But I think that is what he would like me to think - though with the language problems who knows?

    He ended his message yesterday with a sentence which translated as 'I loves you so much'

    Hi all, just a quickie as my computer packed up Sunday and ex couldn't fix the disc so put something else in the comp but had to leave to I had to carry on and had no idea what I was doing lOL, so this is the only site I can get into as the keyboard is different and can't do the 'at' for emails. Will catch up with your posts at the weekend, solicitor tomorrow and still not done all the form.

    Just a quickie. Got to giggle at the midlands being classed as the south :-) my friends tease me for my extreme northern accent at times :-)

    Message on my facebook says

    Mystic Meg's prediction for Diana:

    "Diana, I bring you GOOD news! You will soon find a new love with a man whose name begins with, B."

    Hmm - Bym or Beau

    Back to my spending - I haven't yet tried to decipher my spending last month. To be honest, I can afford what I have bought, although it will be way over my income this month - it will just be my savings that have taken the hit

    Hi all

    Ziggles what was worse, not seeing the shops or Cadburyland? :)

    Fr - meeting a man called B. LOL perhaps you'll meet someone called Barry on the plane!

    I saw the solicitor, finances done as far as I could, he's putting in the final figures , now I need to get a letter from the doctor about my health during the marriage.

    I'm really annoyed about the comp now it's working again because not only I lost everything (thousands of bookmarks) passwords, photos etc. But there is something odd about the font and reply boxes. So whenever I change the font to bigger it goes back to miniscule.

    The reply box is marely bigger than a matchbox :mad:

    So I think the days of my online addiction are over.

    Yesterday I had 3 half ciders and half a doner and chips. First time this year, very nice. Had a clothes crisis and hair went strange right before I went out. I GIVE UP.

    Have a good weekend girls.

    Bought insoles today for my new work shoes and I'm STILL in agony. I must be the only female alive who HATES shoes. :(

    Got a bottle of Kopparberg and a Gu brownie as a treat for this evening to make up for it though. :)

    Hi all

    FE I second the shoes horrors.

    What is the K you bought - wine or beer?

    I'm not sure if I have a hangover from yesteday or it's the font fiasco from the comp. Annoying headache whatever. I never even went out today, got distracted.
