    Jinks - that has to be the most emotional response I've got.....I don't mean to sound detached....I just feel it is my problem as if it wasnt for me...he wouldn't need to hide things.

    We're talking. I've told him I need space and time to heal and trust again. I think the stress has kicked off my bulimia and some weird eczema type rash again. I want to be able to do something, I want to be proud of me (I'm even thinking of a summer job if I get that flat here if the DWP let me know what counts as therapeutic work...since I have social problems....probably something customer based)

    I do it all because I'm scared.

    oh !!!!!!.

    Just got grief off one of my school friends on fb for not telling her and the rest of my friends still in Toronto about our friend passing away.

    THEY still live in Toronto, I dont.

    Anyhoo...

    elfen, sounds a dramatic day for you. I hope it works out for the best.

    I've decided that signing up for the scanning your shopping service is very MSE - as scanning in my purchases made me feel a bit guilty about how much money I spent and reminded me how much I'd spent so easily/quickly IYSWIM. I think it will help me with impulse spends. I'm only on the nielsson ?sp one, so as the rewards are slowly earnt, this is probably the main reward for doing it :D

    Although, to be fair, it wasn't all cash, so it feels worse than it was. I used some vouchers to buy a little Radley purse (and got 20% off as it was a bank holiday promotion), so it only cost me £2.40 in real money. It wasn't the one I liked best online, but I decided I like all Radley, and I like using vouchers to pay for it :D I used the last bit of an M&S giftcard to get new slippers (so paid £11 instead of £15). I've had my current slippers 4 years at least, so although M&S are dearer than the supermarkets, I think they are good value for money.

    My real treat was a new moisturiser - I had a coupon for a free facewash trial and ended up buying moisturiser to go with it, so spent another £17 :( I need something though, as the antibiotic cream is making my skin flake off and look sad (and itch like fury). Whilst I was out shopping, a sales assistant asked if I'd just come out of a facial (as I look so red). So I actually spent, on myself (not counting groceries) just over £30, which is OK I think.

    probably cos they feel guilty, Bunny, about not keeping in contact..... so they are projecting onto you.
