Glad you got him home for a bit longer.

Doesn't matter how much we moan when they comment about us leaving things to the last minute as we know they are right - why do we leave things :eek:.

Take care, catch up soon x

ahhhh these assignments are driving me crazy, have decided to give up meat and dairy for lent too, so I am day 2 of being a vegan at the moment, it's not really that hard apart from right at this moment, I'm hungry and craving something sweet, but short of eating sugar out of the sugar bowl there is very little I can have!

lol well I'm day 3 vegan and Im feeling pretty good apart from being really tired from writing these sodding assignments. didnt get to sleep until 1 then woke up at 5 to read some more for the second, will be getting on with it in a second just chilling for a minute and winding down from work ready to get into the swing of it, really not looking forward to doing it. Making yummy lentil Dhal for tea, very much looking forward to it! goodness *yawn* I really am tired!

hi well I'm sorry I havent been about, haven't been too well to be honest, starting with my fainting and banging my head so hard on the floor I knocked myself out, having to go to a and e in an ambulance, then having severe concussion to possible bleed on the brain, back to hospital tuesday, overnight, brain scan, all fine, just sever concussion, still keep forgetting stupid things, like my phone number and to lock the car and to take my purse, not good really. Am just 100 times more ditsy than normal which is quite nice in a way as am in my own happy little bubble away with the fairies

Had a lot of time to think in hospital as only got 2 hours sleep, old people make so much noise in their sleep! So am going to look at getting a different job on a bank of staff at the hospital and just do 2 days a week, pay is only £100 less than I am on now if I do 2 days but you can pick and choose your hours, I could do more when OH is away and less when he is home. And wont be spending £200 a month on petrol so the £100 will make itself up and I will have much more time off!! Sounds like a plan doesnt it. Also going to sell my beloved beetle, I just cant afford to keep it, am getting about 22 miles to the gallon which I just can not afford to do. so going to get a years loan as my other one is up in august and still pay the same amount off which is obviously do able, and with the money for my beloved lilly beetle I will pay for my OU courses instead of pay them monthly. so actually looking at it I will be £85 better off a month even working less hours. breakdown

now: pay £640 after tax working 5 days a week
phone £15
insurance £27
ou £85
Loan £200
Petrol £200
= £527 leaving me with £113

future = pay £520 working 2 days a week
phone £15
insurnace £27
new loan £200
petrol £50
=£292 leaves me with £228

its a no brainer really isnt it!!

best be applying for the job then I guess.

hmmm been into town with my sister today (nearly left my shopping in waggamammas where we had lunch, memory isnt all there yet!!!!) went into all the high street shops and just ended up feeling really old and out of fashion. everything i tried on looked horrendous. and all this flesh colour that is in fashion, really doesn't suit me! so i came away with 3 reduced dresses but to be honest I think I will probably end up taking them back! . I officially hate shopping! Think Im going to go and have a little snooze.

Jeez missymoo, are you alright?!

If it makes you feel any better, I'm a pale was-once-redhead-but-now-pretty-much-just-mousy-with-a-tinge, so all these "nude" colours look horrendous on me! I just look (even more) washed out!

missymoo81

hey lottie, Im ok thanks hun just a lot more ditsy than normal, think its getting better but not sure, could have just done with OH being home when all of this was going on?! Have my sisters birthday night out on saturday, god knows what Im going to wear though not looking forward to it one bit!! x
