    That's a gorgeous dress LMC - I can't wear dresses - far to much boobage - always makes me look about 8 months pregnant.

    I can however wear pj's whilst drinking fizz with strawberries in :D

    Sorry abotu my rant there, the housing situation in the UK is a right royal mess. I'll step off my soap box now!! But for my OH and I to move we need to raise a £50k deposit! [insert confused smile!] and still have a mortgage which there is no guarantee we'll get!

    Pooky, glad to hear you're having a fab birthday. Fizz and strawberries yummy!

    downnotout that's mental. Even though you can pay the rent you're still being caught by a CCJ......stupid! I agree with lmc, the housing situation is a bloody HUGE mess.
    Also, the attittude, we'll see how long it lasts lmc lol.

    Thank you everyone for understanding, I am literally sat here crying. This is the first time i have cried since my daughter was born. I didn't even cry when I split with the kids mum. I am just so emotionally drained from it all.

    It will last Elfen, you've got the willpower and determination to do so! Do you still want to borrow my copy of a pair of blue eyes?

    The organiser of the Glastonbury festival has gone up in my estimation. He donated land/built houses that were only available for young members of the village, as he realised that housing was becoming too expensive/out of bounds for locals.

    DNO,
    I had the same situation when DH I split for a while a couple of years ago-thankfully, DH gave me the 6 months up front.

    I am sorry, not much help at all am I?
