Reformed shopaholic? please can you give me the benefit of your advice

Hi all

CL, I've talked about MSE to people and been surprised they've heard of it but only the website not the forum. The only person I know that has used it is DS when he first introduced me to it.

Strangely enough MM mentioned something about bargains on the site the other day and I was stunned completely forgetting we met on here

As to your shyness, another question. Is it just in real life? You seem ok on this thread, how about other places on MSE or other sites?

I wonder if FR has thought about us at all since her young man has arrived?

Re the avoidance list. I'm currently in the middle of doing a very large chore I put off all day. Serves me right!

PS: did one of you ladies mention sour cream Hula Hoops?
If so, you have a lot to answer for... I'm well and truly addicted.

I had Pringles and some kind of pretzels like that, not sure about hoops.

I'm going to compose a questionnaire for you FR

Glad you are enjoying yourself

Yeah i think she should totally get a questionnaire!!!
How are we all ladies.
karma is doing horrible things to my tummy and anxiety- tempted to ask doc for some calming pills- but a bit difficult if you can't tell them the reason.
@CL i love sour cream flavour anything- except hula hoops- tried the salt and vinegar ones once and that was the last!
Rejigging my budget- i'm trying to decide whether or not to continue with my nails- £25 every 3 weeks! They are an indulgence but they make me feel so pretty!
About mse- i know some people only get the email but have no idea about the 'how to's' or the forum.

Hi all

Ziggles you could carry on guilt free with your nails if you gave up fudge!

What do you mean 'karma' = anxiety. You mean 'reap what you sow'? Or is it just guilt playing havoc with you?

I was talking to DS on skype last night, just when I wanted to go to bed early. His topics of conversation are so similar to MM.

DS thinks it's Freudian I told him it's only because we are all on a similar wavelength compared to ex and other members of the family.

For once I want to get to the craft/art club much earlier than normal, sometimes I'm nearly 2 hours late! It's the last one until mid January.

I wonder how long BYM is staying with FR??

Catch up later, have a good day girls

Hi all

Spent a lovely time with Bym

I have just returned from walking with him to the station, it was so sad to see him go but he will return again - let's hope it's not to long to wait.

Ready for questions now - but I don't have many answers, maybe I should post him a questionnaire! There are lots of things I still want to know about him, but when it comes to it - I just don't ask. I didn't even know he was going back this morning until late last night.

Oh dear FROG- is it because you're afraid of the answers that you don't ask. I know that's it for me. I think ou shoud maybe go for it and send him the questionnaire if you are absolutely desperate to know some stuff.
When is he coming back or do we have to wait for him to decide? Hope it's soon.
@ Anglea- it's nice you can talk to your DS like that.
As for yougtting to craft club 2 hours late- good grief- how long is a session? I just wouldn't go if i was tht late. Or is it a drop in thing?
I do not spend £25 a month on fudge- i would explode or get diabetes if i did! I've decided i'll just have to stop and just paint my nails rather than get gels done- for the sake of my pocket. Besides my typing is getting worse and worse with the ruddy things on especially as they get longer- or maybe becasue i spend so much time just typing my train of thought- which is mostly disordered and chaotic- hence my typing going all funny.
I mean i'm afraid of reaping what i sowed as well as there being guilt in there :-(
Must get some work done- i'm off from 21st now insted of 23rd so need to light a fire under my you know what!

He's quite an enigma. This mysterious stranger has entered my life and I feel I cannot ask questions or it would break the spell.

I have a copy of a painting on my wall which is uncannily like someone I know in the family. He showed me his blog, and some of his favourite paintings are on there - a couple by the same painter as the one on my wall. And he asked me to read aloud some lyrics which he loved (very poetical) and it seemed quite magical.

I don't know when he is coming back, it was such a long wait this time to see him again. I've not texted him yet (he will probably be nearly home now) whatever I say will either be too little or too much, and probably doesn't need to be said at all.

Hi girls

Fr did you stay in all the time, if you went out did you have a good time, did you cook for him etc I'm trying to avoid other obvious questions

As to not knowing how long he's staying, if he's turning up etc I couldn't do that. There is no way I'd be messed around like that. It's bad enough when DS does it let alone someone who is supposed to be my FWB.

I think FR, you don't believe you are important enough, correct me if I'm wrong.

Ziggles, sorry if I implied you spent 25 pounds on fudge I didn't meant that.

Craft club - it's 10-1. I got there about 10.30 in the hail. Dreadful weather today. I always like a chat so turn up late or early it doesn't matter. Someone beat my late record this week and arrived at 12.30!

You'll have to see if you can get used to your nails without the extensions. Is there anything else you can cut down on?
