Hi everyone,
Had a good few days
Friday had work - was extremely quiet, we had 10 staff in and only 13 kids! I had to stay until closing as I was on duty that day.
I went to my brothers in the evening as it was my SIL's 30th Birthday, my niece was a little b*gger and that is being kind. She was very teritorrial over her toys with her cousin, beating the living hell out of her!:eek::eek:
Saturday I went to face the music at Fat Club - 4.5lb on, I was expecting so much more!
Today - Total madness!!:eek: I had 49 members through the door at my own WW meeting this morning including 17 new membersIt was totally crazy busy but the room was buzzing, it was great :j
Money wise I have been buying bits and pieces in preperation for moving out later this year ( that sounds good moving out THIS year:D:D)
Before Christmas my mum and dad had been saving the pot vouchers from Tesco and had paid for several pots for me and I paid for a few as well. Then the pretty glasses vouchers came in and on Friday I bought 8X small, and large tumblers and wine glasses.
Yesterday I bought
Today I was in Asda and had a 14 piece Prestige Knife set for £20 so I bought that too :eek:
I complained to BOS about the hassle I had setting up save the change and I received a letter yesterday about it and also £50 credited to my account for the inconvience!All I really wanted was for others not to have the same problems I had setting it up.

Hi everyone,
A busy weekend last weekend, I went out for lunch with some friends on Saturday, then out for a couple of drinks with a friend who was visiting who I have not seen in nearly 3 years!
Sunday I had my WW meeting then spent some time with my mad as a hatter niece!
Not alot has been happening this week. Work been busy as per always and WW been busy as well.
I still have my courtesy car - I had a call on Tuesday to say I should have my own car back today. However I recieved a call today saying they were still waiting on a part from Hyundai and it would not be returned to me until tomorrow at the earliest! I am loving the Corsa
I called a housing company today to enquire about houses that were available that I could just afford near to where my parents stay - unfortunately all of them are now under offer so I am going to have to wait until the summer I think before I get my own wee hoose!
Only a week to go until pay day :j:j
Wednesday 25th and Friday 27th are January pay days and they cannot come quick enough! :eek:

Hi everyone
A little update from me from the last few days.
Friday I did pretty much nothing I was quite tired after a busy week.
Saturday I had WW, then went to see my brother and niece - I ended up reading the same book to her about 10 times!:eek:
Sunday - WW stuff all day!
Yesterday, work and that was it!
Today - Work, training course this afternoon and a chat on the phone tonight with a guy!
It may not sound like a big deal but I have been single for the past 5 years. The reason I am posting this on here is I have told no one yet I have met someone online. But I need to tell someone!
So the details:-
I joined a dating site just after the year, I have been on POF for a while but decided to try another (a paying one as I had an offer code) - I thought I would give it a try as I am fed up of being single. Sometimes its fine other times I wish I had someone. Alot of my friends are settling down and I feel a bit left out at times.
Anyway I met this guy online a couple of weeks ago and we have been messaging back and forward every few days. Yesterday after chatting online he asked if we could chat some time on the phone and I messaged back to say that would be good! Anyway he messaged me his number and I text him mine and he called tonight - we chatted for about 45 minutes, he seems genuine and down to earth, he is a care worker for people with disabilities. He is also the same age as me. We are meeting up on Monday night for a drink, and I am already getting nervous :eek: I will probably tell a friend at work just so someone knows where I am but no one else just incase it doesn't work out.
I will let you know how I get on, on Monday night.
