    Oh god, it just gets worse! There could even be a freaky Strawberry Shortcake bringing up the rear! :eek:
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    It is a girl! Really pleased but poor OH with all the girls in the family with all his sisters and nieces!

    Tete - glad to hear you had someone good to talk to. How were the fish, I don't think I would like that!

    Congrats Wendz, knew it had to be one or the other (I secretly guessed girl too).

    Glad you are feeling better Tete, it's true what the other's said, one day you will find you've not even thought about him at all. As they say, there's plenty more fish in the sea - or nibbling at toes! I'd love that, supposed to be really good.

    Good news on the car Dinah, sounds nice.

    ROFL at your hen night Birdie, sounds like it'll be a great night and at least everyone is dressing up. The last hen I went to was Halloween weekend and also Rocky Horror show. Only my sister and I dressed up (out of 20 girls) and guess who had more fun (the bride wanted to dress up too but wasn't told the theme).

    Had a hectic few days, got my wedding dress at the weekend, have had no gas (nor heating) since yesterday and had a mad-man with a gun running round our village - police helicopter, dozens of cop cars and sniffer dogs! I need a drink.......

    Hi Everyone, sorry I've been so out of touch! I've fully caught up now and soooo much has been going on!
    Wendz, That is soo exciting about the baby! And a little girl - you muct both be over the moon!
    Tete, I hope you are ok, i know how it feels and i dont even know you but i wish i could just give you a massive cuddle! When I was dumped out of the blue he came back and I always said "don't take people back blah blah blah" but we are stronger than ever, I think because I actually had time to decide what I wanted and (iykwim) who I wanted to be and i learnt to be much more independant because of it. If you can, try and do like you said, become the 'you' you were before you met him (only EVEN better!) I lovev your blog, and Cinnys, I don't go on them all the time but they really are interesting, I love your 'look after me a bit better' (you probably phrased it better!) sections where you just took a few minutes to paint your nails etc! Anyway the crux of this probably confusing message is that its ok to cry, but don't let him or crying get in the way of you being the best you that you can be! And if you can, avoid getting a rebound boy! Just be yourself for a while and reconnect with your girl friends and stuff.

    Birdie the hen party sounds very exciting, I think I would have to be... aerobics barbie, malibu barbie or the Barbie from toystory 3! Or maybe the vet barbie...! I NEED to have a Barbie party! Any idea whats happening on OHs stag?

    Dinah the new car sounds very good, when will you get it do you think? and when will you be able to drive again (sorry im so out of the loop!)

    With me, not a lot is happening really. I'm applying for new jobs which is very hard and boring but I'm hoping something will come along soon! I've just also been really busy but having a great time so yey!!
    Hoping to really start saving and making extra cash properly but its pretty slow going at the moment. Dinah are you on myvoice? I've always found them good (but true, slow) and you've inspired me to go back onto onepoll. Do you go on it everyday to just check for surveys? What other money making things are you thinking of at the mo that I can maybe copy? (I don't have anything to really sell right now though :( ) ooo Also, I hope the business plans are going well!!

    Cinny - the house looks BRILL!! I bet youre really excited and I am very jealous! Everythings moving so quickly for you!!

    I'll try to catch up more often!
