    I think people have the loveliest names on here.

    I reckon 3 dogs has 3 dogs?

    Beanielou why do you have such a lovely unusual name?

    Lilly the pink is fab too.

    I want to know why Nargleblast is called that.

    And Numpty Monkey - whoever they are i just want to hug them.

    Purple Heather too.

    Polly colly too.

    I may change my name to something sophisticated like 'Doesn't shut up.....'!!!!:j

    I had a huge clear out of clothes in the summer hols. But i was a spendaholic and bought loads more!!!! I have so many clothes. One day you will see i feel so guilty. People are really suffering in the world and i have so many red skirts it is stupid. Why did i do it?

    I have about 50 cds left. I reckon i can ebay about 20 but the rest are classical one's and i may have to give them to the charity shop. Which is fine.

    I am learning not to waste money on clutter and nonsense that i do not really use now. I cannot believe how silly i was but we are programmed to be that way by advertisers.

    At least we know now.

    Yesterday i dreamt that a group of us ladies from this thread - headed by Jinny - jumped on a train and rescued JC. I have no idea what any of you look like but we found JC's house and rescued her. Jinny sorted out her OH and we were so happy.

    Isn't that strange. I usually have nightmares but that was a nice dream. I think about you all all the time. It makes me feel brave that i know such fantastic people.
    I am so glad you posted Ann.

    I can identify with that, SW.

    But I have not bought anything (apart from food and essential cleaning stuff) for about a year now!

    I have not since February but i think i am being silly with food and need to be more strict.

    I cannot believe i had a chinese on Friday. And to make it worse, because i live on my own i had to spend £14 for a home delivery. Flippin heck that is half a week's food shopping. And it didn't even taste that nice.

    Next time can you tell me off please.:(
