Rictus uh oh the weekends running out thread

Snaggles

Good afternoon. :wave:

Having a nice weekend, lovely run yesterday then had a bath and went to a friend's house for drinks and stayed over. Only managed 2 drinks though and went to bed at 11pm! Obviously need to run 9 miles every day, then I would sleep.

Tried to find a new dress for the party but can't find anything. I have a black and white dress but it's a bit dressy - maybe I could dress it down a bit with a little black cardi or something, but I'm not sure. I tried on a cute Betty Jackson dress (in the sale, obviously!) but it was a little bit too tight, although bizarrely, the belt was too big even on the smallest hole. Also tried on a lovely 'sexy secretary' dress, which fitted perfectly and was sooo flattering on my bottom half, but the neckline was rounded which always makes my top half look a bit matronly! Not really the look I was going for!

The most annoying thing is that I haven't actually lost THAT much weight, only about 8lbs since I bought it - but my shape must have changed quite a lot (only the top half though...grrrr!).

Also left my expensive bottle of vodka at my friend's. :doh: I only see her a handful of times a year, and it would be cheaper (and nicer) to say 'you keep it' than drive over for it....but am a bit annoyed with myself as it was a present and I only usually buy cheap vodka!

Ohh, and have sorted things out with Mr Sunday.

Pooky

Shove them under the bed BB

Does anyone know how you find out how much Housing and Council Tax Benefit you get in London? I'm looking at a room in a flat in Plumstead, £300 a month (plus bills) and band c Kayleigh

If you're a full time student or on jobseekers you aren't counted and he effectively keeps his single person discount. If you are working you would have to pick up half the council tax, assuming there's only two of you in the house.

Oh, brilliant! I didn't know jobseekers meant you didn't count. And everyone else in the house (including him) are students, so that's no CT for anyone, right?
