Been AWOL but there is a good reason.

WLM and I have split up

Oh no So sorry to hear that.:coffee: Glad you are feeling a little better today. :grouphug:

I don't feel too bad today. I'm sure the feeling won't last but while it does I am grateful. I didn't sleep as well as I hoped I would last night either but I'm looking forward to another night cosied up in front of the TV

Been for another run today

I'm not going to go to the next course of pole classes which start this week. Mainly from a financial point of view but TBH I just want to get home in the evenings and shut ourselves away from the cold.

Salmon pasta for tea - lots of feelgood ingredients in that :T

I think I'm coming down with a cold - I hardly ever get colds but this evening I must have sneezed about 15 times in 2 minutes. I'll get some fruit down me

Going to paint my toenails in a little while and then settle in front of the TV with my Snuggie and watch something I've recorded

Hiya,

sorry to hear you've been made redundant in your relationship :grouphug: - No, I'm not suggesting a threesome is the way forward ... it's a friendly hug.

Isn't it annoying that we lose weight when falling in & out of love, but the rest of the time it slowly sneaks up when we're not looking & attaches itself to the very bit we don't want it to .

Happy toenail painting - what colour ?

Wishing you better from cold & happier soon
xx

Thanks Lula. I really am feeling a lot better today (emotionally). It's as if a switch has been flicked. I think I must have been churning over everything that was said on saturday and getting it all straight in my head. I haven't cried or even felt tearful for over 24 hours:T and I have my appetite back so the weight will be creeping back on. I do like my smaller bum though :cool:

My nail varnish is the coffee coloured Nails Inc one that I got free with a magazine in the summer. I love it

I have been mega organised this morning. We have run out of bread so I need to put a loaf on but I always forget when we get in in the evening. I have put all the ingredients in ready to just switch on as soon as we get home. I didn't have time to read how to set the timer but that will be going on my to-do list.

Have cleared bathroom out ready to clean that when we get in. The towels are in the washing machine ready to switch on.

I do feel much more at peace when I'm being organised and if I'm honest (and more than a little bit sad) cleaning has got me through the last couple of weeks

Another major task I need to do is clear the breakfast bar which has become a dumping ground for everything.

Still £36.15 on OnePoll. I bet the surveys will start to dry up now I'm near target.

£1 PAD to Barclaycard. I've paid over £600 off since I got my balance transferred in February. Not as much as I'd like but it was more than I thought. I'm now below the £1550 mark and it's still at 0%

That's it for now. Off for a wander round the boards......

Just got Martin's Money Tips email and all energy companies are offering free insulation :eek: B*gger :mad::mad::mad: I am signed up for mine now (have been since January). On closer reading it looks like you are unlikely to get it done until next spring and I really need mine done now so maybe it's not all bad. Annoying all the same but at least by the weekend our house will be even cosier.

I've felt pretty carp today. Can't stop coughing and a bit achey too and really really tired. I still went for my run at lunchtime so that's my exercise done for the week

Picked DD up from the after school club and she was really pleased because she's been given a 'pen license' which means her writing is neat enough to use a pen now instead of a pencil. She was really upset a few weeks back when her friends got their pen licenses and she didn't but I told her to make more of an effort so it's now paid off. I'm really proud and pleased for her :T

We got her homework done, I've cleaned the bathroom and put the breadmaker on. The dough has risen so much it's pressing against the window at the top! Hope it doesn't burst out . Whatever the house will start smelling gorgeous soon.

I've cleared the breakfast bar and filed away the paperwork. Need a rest now, so will settle down with some easy TV.

Last day at work tomorrow as I'm off Friday because the insulation's being done.

WLM - I still feel OK, a little sad at times but I'm starting to feel more in control of things. I've taken facebook (@rsebook??) off my phone so I'm not tempted to look on there at anything he might be up to. I said I might take him off my friends list but I haven't got round to it, mainly because it would mean going into his wall and I don't want to see anything upsetting while I'm feeling OK about things. Not that he ever put much on there anyway and he said on Saturday that he wouldn't put anything on there that might upset me but I don't want to read anything into stuff that other people have put. Silly really

vasseur

I feel really tired today and am still coughing. Keep waking up drenched in sweat??? Not sure if it's the dreaded night sweats or if my duvet is too warm :think:. Whatever it's only going to get worse once the loft has been insulated....:rotfl:

Must pop into town in the next couple of days to get more EPO as I have run out. Maybe that's the reason I'm sweating so much....?

£1 PAD to Barclaycard.

£36.65 on OnePoll - so since Tuesday I have only earned 50p. I knew the surveys would dry up once I was near target.

I've had a fabulously frugal evening. Dinner at mum and dads which was lovely

We've come home and I've had a lovely bath with muscle soak bubble bath in because I still feel a bit achey and I've used my homemade sugar scrub all over and done my face with the Oil Cleansing Method. Might smooth a bit of bio-oil over because it still feels a bit tight.

Lots of funny TV on tonight - Rev, Life's Too Short (I'm going to give it another chance) and then Celebrity Juice.

Got to get up half an hour earlier tomorrow - 6am :eek:
