There I was making plans for Christmas, buying baubles etc, and all the while he's thinking that - I feel so stupid. And yes I'm angry that he's just sort of dumped me giving me no choice in the matter and no chance to rectify things. Hmmmm.
The college only do massages on a Thursday at 1.15 apparently! Might book myself in for one at the uni next week - at least they have more of a choice and I won't have to take the whole afternoon off.
How about Rockabilly Pinup?
You are not stupid and please don't think you are. How could you predict he was going to do this when you had just moved in together. No-one would have been able tp predict thatTotal (Aug 19):€58,567 Now:€26,947

Exactly and I think that's the case here. It's hard because I've been on the other side before so I know what that's like too. Argh, I wish someone could just turn me off and put me away in a box until after our anniversary, his birthday, Christmas, New Year, my birthday and Valentine's Day ... that's way too many milestones for three months isn't it?!Weightloss: 14.5/65lb0 -
On a lighter note here are my purchases. I have paid for the boots and skirt already but will have to work hard on AQA to pay for the rest. Just decided to get one dress as I was being greedy and have yet to purchase the shoes. Got everything at between 20-25% off.

Think of all the money saved Tete! You could spend it all on clothes and beautifying yourself. All that fashion (goes off to dream.......)Total (Aug 19):€58,567 Now:€26,947

That's the site I'm onGood idea about the massage
What's your budget for the dress Zig?Swinstie73 wrote: »Zigmeister, I've got a great banana bread recipe, will post it tonight unless anyone gets in there first. I'm naughty though and add chocolate chips to it - and mines always sticks to the tin (my fault), but it does work, honest!
Ooh that sounds fab, thanks! I love banana cake/bread (are they the same thing?!)
Aw Tete that sucksI think a talk with him is needed, maybe not straight away, but after he's had time to think things over. He may be sat around thinking 'I miss this beautiful, funny, clever girl (woman?!)' and just feels confused. Guys seem to do that. Don't know how to express themselves properly so just run away. My OH did the same and we managed to sort it out. Could be the same for you guys. It's so difficult.

Thanks Zig. yeah, am pretty chuffed with them and it will be a good incentive to make the money on AQA. I will wear all them things at Xmas plus the coat and boots will last for a while so good investments I reckon!

It was my friend that got me into it. She always buys stuff when she comes over and she made me try on this skirt when it didn't fit her. I loved the shape of it and fear I now have a White Stuff skirt obsession!
You defo deserve to treat yourself Tete, esp as you aren't in debt - not like me!Total (Aug 19):€58,567 Now:€26,947

When I was about 15 my Mum bought me a fleece from White Stuff and it was really nice but I couldn't wear it to school because everyone mocked the 'White Stuff' label on it, trying to insinuate that it was a different type of 'white stuff' _pale_ Horrid teenagers ruining everything!
I think that site that Tete linked to will be best for you Zig, some great dresses on there and not stupidly priced! Have you got your heart set on a big skirt? I like the pencil skirts and you might look a little different to everyone else if you go 'skinny'!
Loving the heels CMD!Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!Goal Weight 140lb Starting Weight: 160lb Current Weight 145lb0
