    gggrrrrrr just viewed a house and thought perfect so filled out the paperwork and went to the letting agent to then be told it was already going through the credit checks with someone else:( why bother letting people view if its likely to be let soon. only 15 weeks until baby arrives and we still have not found a new house................oh and we have to be out of this one very very soon I think I am going to cry

    Oh no Cyclura - that is just so wrong. Don't give up, I am sure there is somewhere for you. Have you spoken to your local council?

    Ooh Bun....a trip to Paris eh? College life is really suiting you isn't it :)

    And of course you're invited, although it's a bit uncertain when and where.....

    really....it's not hard to understand :T

  • Yeah, we have a few Suze-one to Blackpool for a competition (which I plan on entering!) and one to Paris (which included Disney Paris) and London and the clothes show as well...of course, a lot of it depends on funds and childcare etc...

    Hi ya Beanie! I'm okay sweets. Loving college, really really loving it but soooooooooooo busy its untrue! I love it though, not complaining.
    The girls I am training with made me a Thanksgiving card and gave it to me, signed by them all-I started to cry, it was so sweet and I miss my family so much right now. Really really miss them. Our tutor came in this afternoon and told us she has breast cancer...again (and she isn't 40 yet) We gathered money together and gave her a lovely bunch of flowers at the end of the class-she was really touched.


    Snags-so sorry about how you are feeling. Having been on anti-d's myself (ok, twice) I found the side affects better than how I was feeling. I agree to continue asking for help/answers etc until you are satisfied-it may be worth asking for a blood test as my depression was obviously triggered by my thyroid but it took years for them to test for that!

    Glad to hear you're enjoying yourself Bun, but sorry that you're feeling homesick. It sounds as though you've got a lovely group of girls training with you....that was so thoughtful of them.

    Ah...hadn't heard anything about that one so apologies for suggesting another one.

    Not at all Suzy I was just wondering Ames had confirmed the January one?:)

  • I am more broke than a broke thing from broke land.

    Just had to pay out for MOT, new tyre, 6 months tax (£135!) and that has completely tapped me out.
