    £40.50 today please. Last of the dds this month. Found about 6 euro yesterday so that has gone into the sealed pot (ready to buy myself a drink on my next holiday!!!) so total of £45 approx.

    Everything came to a head last night with the parking situation, I came home at about 11.15pm to no spaces, when I text my housemate to see if he was up and could let me into the car park, his response was just 'not at home' then when i tried to ask if he was just getting his girlfriend or was out, he took AN HOUR to reply and say he was then on his way home.:mad::mad: Did he seriously expect me to sit outside waiting for that long???? By that time, I'd got some stuff and gone to my friends to stay the night. Luckily, her housemate is away for 3 weeks so I'm going to stay there until she is back from holiday. I was so angry and upset, it almost reminded me of having to leave the house when I lived with my mum and having to escape for the night. I have been offered a room that i'm going to look at, and i want to move asap now. I was going to try and hold out until the end of the month, as I doubt they will give me any rent back but I can't cope with it any more. I finish work at 3am tomorrow morning and all I can think about is what the hell am I going to do if there isn't any spaces? Ive been awake since 7.30am so I'm going to be absolutely shattered when I start work tonight.:(

    Sorry for the long rant. I've got my last counselling session today and I've had just a low week, it was just the final straw. I'm calm again. For now.:cool:

    That really stinks, are your housemates always so inconsiderate?

    I hope you find somewhere else to live soon.

    COMP, Yeah I remember that, Danko used to count it up didn't she. That was when I lost a load before, wish I could get back on the wagon! I've just been for a run though so thats a start! Maybe we should all start counting again? I've looked at the weightloss thread but feel a bit embarrassed because I've been a bit lazy... when I get back into my stride again I'll probably start posting on them haha!

    Psycho, thats sounds really irritating about your housemates. Hope you can sort something soon.

    £49.07 for me today please Euro.
    Ths signature is out of date because I'm too lazy to update it... :o

    Hi all

    Psycho sorry to hear about your housemates, hope you find somewhere else soon hugs to you xx

    My friend's dad died yesterday (the one who had cancer) :( he died peacefully in his sleep. He managed to see his 80th birthday last Thursday. Kind of puts things into perspective for you when someone dies I think.

    Had a big talk at work today with the boss, things are very, very quiet at the moment and if things don't pick up we might all be looking for new jobs :eek::( I feel sick worrying about it. He even mentioned pay cuts :( am keeping everything crossed that business picks up.

    Pad today is £2 ISA, £1.50 tin and 8p jar

    £3.58

    No! ALso prob is more to do with the water company anyway I guess, although still don't exactly feel I get a good return on my council tax investment :rotfl:

    In Scotland, you get a discount if you're not connected to the main sewerage/water supply. Maybe it's something you could look into and see if it's the same in England?

    Evening Padders!

    I was sorry to hear about your Dad's friend Green, at least he is at peace now. A man I know died of cancer nearly a year ago, he was one of those people it never should have happened to, such a waste of a good life. :(

    Why are all of us overweight?! Maybe being in debt makes us eat?! :D

    Pay day tomorrow...woo hoo! It'll be in my account for a couple of hours before it all vanishes into thin air and it'll be another month of just seeing numbers on a screen :cool:

    Another £12.00 from me please Euro!

    Hope you've all had a fab day! x
