There was an e-copy floating around the Memorygirl Matrix threads before, I'm sure somebody on there would email it to you if you.

Watched the 2nd last of my screenclick dvd's last night (the account is cancelled now) "The Private Lives of Pippa Lee". It was a bit depressing really, all problems--drugs, relationship break-ups.....

Just ordered another Toluna voucher and have £32.15 on onepoll

Anxiety/depression is getting me down today. Feeling and very stressed despite having had the day off and getting quite a lot done. Not sure what I can do about it. I'm still taking the low dose anti-depressant (Efexor if anyone's interested) and exercise is always recommended but that's not helping either just now :undecided

Had my 6-weekly hair appointment to get the grey roots done. Had a nice chat with the hairdresser who confirmed my suspicions that he's gay when he mentioned "my boyfriend" in conversation. He told me all about his new 42 inch HD tv and we chatted about the Queens visit. (€65)

Then I had a lovely lunch (€10) Soup (description was so fancy I can't remember what it was ) sandwich also with fancy ingredients, a small chocolate mousse and tea.

I'm well aware that this actually sounds like a very pleasant day but that's the problem with depression, when it strikes it's impossible to be happy about anything. If I hadn't had appointments to keep today I could well have spent the day in bed :undecided

Went to Curves (because I'm determined to get value for my money and I do really want to exercise). Didn't enjoy it today but glad I went.

Collected my prescription from the doctors and because I can't go anywhere without acquiring more cosmetics I left the chemist with 12 samples from a brand called NeoStrata. It's a dermatologist brand and there was a rep in the chemist today. She was awfully nice and didn't try to sell me anything. I think she was so sure I'd like the samples that I'd be back to buy pretty quickly.

Then I got the grass cut but the gardener annoyed me. I found his number in a local paper and left him a message at 9.15 am. I'm not sure what's a reasonable amount of time to reply as I'm used to instant communication from people on twitter/e-mail and iphones but I was about to call someone else when he texted at 6 pm to say he could do it this evening.

When he arrived he didn't seem too happy with the job and moaned about what hard work it was I agree it wasn't a really easy job but I did pay him €65 :eek: for an hours work, or slightly less than an hour even. Plus I spent ages cleaning up after him, finishing the edges off properly, etc. I figure for that price I shouldn't have done any of the work myself.

Just watched Jedward on Eurovision

Thanks :A I want to go to bed but I don't feel sleepy at all. Did you go to pole class tonight?

Feeling a tiny bit better today but still not great. So many minor things have been stressing me out all day, people needing lifts, getting stuck in traffic, running late for everything....

I made it to Curves at 6.20pm for my 3rd session this week, really managed to test the 30 minutes thing today because it closes at 7 on Friday but I'd have been so mad with myself for not going.

Did 2 easy mystery shops, phone calls to jewellery shops paying €6 each. Had a third one booked for a clothes shop but didn't have time to fit it in, might just cancel it.

Had an email from whoseview (review site), a business complained about a negative review I wrote almost a year ago. Feeling ever so slightly freaked out but I replied telling them to remove it if they want to.

Tomorrow I have to help toxic friend shop for an outfit for a wedding. Slightly awkward because she's a size 20-22 and was on about some dress from Debut at Debenhmas that she put on hold. She said she doesn't like it all that much but it was the only thing she could find in her size. Her mother really trusts me with clothes shopping so I can't let her buy it if it's as awful as it sounds (it's orange )
