  • aw happyfamily love your sig, a woman after my own heart! Welcome to all the newbies x

    Ok feeling a little insecure as no-one thanked my post (apart from La E) so think I was misunderstood yesterday. Sorry if I offended anyone I really didn't mean to, its just my sense of humour and the themed posts really made me chuckle. I used to take drinks out with me, but as I rarely go out now and also have given up alcohol its not for me, but my oh does this all the time.

    Please understand me cyber friends.... x

  • Not too much for me today, I'm meant to be trying to finish my dissertation although I'm not sure I'd manage that today even if I tried really hard lol. Just looking forward to when its over in the next couple of weeks :j Fingers crossed I pass it all, its the very last part of a distance learning Msc....hopefully then I can start earning better money and claw back some of the cost! :D

    [STRIKE]
    - Right well already re-listed a few things on Ebay...its free listing today and tomorrow according to my email...bit strange to have Sunday and Monday but there you go!
    [/STRIKE]

    - Plan to list some more later

    - Do a couple more Radar taste samples after the hoard I brought yesterday after getting invited at last.

    - Get a good chunk of the dissertation done

    - Walk dogs later, was going to gym but can't really be bothered and my excuse is I'll save a quid in petrol! Gym membership is off peak and only £22 so doesn't feel so bad that I don't always go as much as I'd like.

    Anyway best get on with that dissertation or I won't be doing anything else today for sure!
    Debt free and busy treating myself:)

    No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales

    Hiya Determined, wasn't offended at all :D... good on you for giving up the booze - I don't drink nearly as much as I used to as I'm really into the running just now but I do still have the odd night where I fancy a few... although yesterday's hangover makes me wonder why :o
