    Just got told to be careful in the future if I'm ill and not go back before I'm ready. Bah.

    Aw Psycho - you look after yourself hun.

    (Only here does that make sense... in our biased world we are for some reason more likey to be compassionate to someone styling themselves 'Fluffy Bunny'... can't imagine why. Psychos need hugs too :D).

    walking into to 2nd job I slipped in the rain and went down flat on my back. Luckily no injury but it jarred me and took until a few days to feel right again. Otherwise all well with me just need another 24 hours in a day xx Billie xx

    Billie! You poor thing... take it easy (sorry if that sounds ironical, it's not meant to be). It must have been a nasty shock, and physically it might take a little while to get back to normal.

  • Yes, psychos do need hugs too!!

    Me and my flatmate were talking last night and have decided to move out. It's too cold already, and the new windows might help but then we have to clean up all the mould and stuff as well. It's just too much. We are going to hand in our notice tomorrow, we are supposed to give 2 months but did say to them last month we aren't deciding until something beens sorted. Going to have a look tomorrow and see what is around, the two things we don't want to budge on is parking and heating. Fingers crossed we find something!!

    SB, Nic and Maty, can you please email/pm your addresses to me? xx

    Always a good idea to move out of cold houses. I've left my freezing room in Newcastle to my warmer house in Stockton and soon it'll have an extra 10.5 inches * so I'll be very happy

    * of insulation!

    Interview didn't happen but have a number of irons in the fire and am advertising for a lodger.

    Standards please, Butti...

    Poor Psycho... moving's a bore. And there will always be something you can do without. Hope you fall on your feet. I suspect you usually do.

    Well December 2 and 9 are taken with other programmes according to the Radio Times, so fingers crossed for the 23rd again.

    Excited. The boys are bursting.

    I live in a house I couldn't afford to buy now. If we are in a supermarket the next day it will be to beg for food. :o

    Thats a good feeling to have. You deserve it after all your hard work trying to sort it as well as the other stuff. No need to beg for food, just nip round the back to the bins. Have you not heard of Freegalism?

    10.5 inches? Who's a lucky girl :eek: :rotfl:

    Sorry about the interview, lodger sounds like a great idea - especially if it means you don't need the job for now?

    The boys are bursting? That will be all three of them then :D

    And we all live in houses we now can't afford to buy I think so there is nothing new there then ;)
