    Hiya Mags,

    sorry to hear you're so exhausted. I had the same side effect when taking anti-depressants a few years back. I'd also never had any trouble sleeping until I took them but never got a good night when on them.

    If you're a comfy size 10 then I wouldn't imagine you need to lose any weight as for your height that sounds ideal. I do get how the numbers have a big effect on how you think of yourself though.

    If you keep at it with curves then you will tone up & become more streamlined & of course feel healthier :).

    I love converse too, although I do wear heels as well sometimes. I'm definitely not as professional as Shoesy though as I need to wear flats after a day in heels :rotfl:.

    Well done on the onepoll

    xx

    Thanks Lula, the exhaustion comes and goes, it's not all the time so that's not so bad.

    The Boots printout always puts me in the ideal category but the girl at Curves said I need to loose an inch off my hips and another off my waist. Such figures probably won't make any huge difference but improving how we look seems to be an ongoing hobby for lots of us here :)

    Will check on your diary in a minute to see how you're doing, I love how your daughter locked the cupboards :D

    I'm furious with toxic friend again, haven't seen her since the day I helped her with dress shopping. Remember how she bought me lunch that day most likely with money that her mother gave her to do so, well today she decided she was getting me back.

    At the end of our morning coffee she asked "Are you getting this?" :eek: I had thought of offering but she had ordered 2 of everything and orange juice (she is a size 20-22 and seems to eat a lot) and it was going to be rather expensive so I decided not to offer this time and just pay for my own.

    When she asked I felt obliged to graciously agree and paid up......it was €15.10 :mad: That's a lot to be paying for coffee and scones for 2 people. I go for coffee a bit too regularly but most places have a €3 coffee and scone/pastry offer in the mornings. This place doesn't but the most I should have been paying was €8-9 max.

    Because of this unexpected bill the €20 in my purse didn't cover the toy shop mystery shopping purchases so I had to get more money from the ATM.

    I'm just so cross with her because of the way she just freeloads on everyone. Remember that she chooses to live off benefits and her parents and rarely pays for much. Even her bus trip to the city this morning was free with her bus pass, a trip that costs around €14 I think.

    I'm not normally such a b**ch or so mean honestly but I don't like this girl much and can't really shake her off.

    In other news I'm loving Missymoo's new experiment about living on £50 a month for non essential spends. I imagine that's around €60 which really doesn't go very far here but I might try something like that soon.

    Thinking I really need to tackle the grass while the sun is out, it's not been done in a bit and I don't fancy the job at all. I want to just get in the car and drive to my mothers.

    Its hard with friends like that, is there no way you can drift off? Do you feel obligated to stay mates with her, rude and irritating as she is?

    I have mates like that, I try and see less of them and then my tolerance is up for the next time.

    hello by the way, not seen you about for a while xxx
    Nevertheless she persisted.

    Yep that's how it works, I see very little of her. She was in my class at school and is from my hometown. No real way to get rid of her but I see very little of her. She also doesn't know how to text or email which normally would drive me mad but is quite handy in this case ;) She was talking about how we have to meet up for lunch before Christmas :rotfl:so if I don't see her until then that will be totally ok :)

    I got the grass done :T:T Took ages. Still haven't left for my mothers but will get going soon. It's been such a busy day.

    Well done on doing the grass!

    Your friend isn't much of a friend to be honest, meeting her once every 6 months does't sound too bad but you're getting absolutly nothing from the friendship except annoyance!

    Health: I'm feeling exhausted again tonight, that's 3 evenings this week I've not been well. Maybe this is why I'm so overwhelmed with things to do all the time because some days I do so little because I just can't.

    Hoping for a better week next week. Before then there are 2 mystery shop reports from the toyshops yesterday that are due at 9am. Not even started yet :(

    You cannot NEED to wear flats :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    Sometimes it's hard to walk in a single woman's shoes - that's why we need really special ones!

    Hello mags my dear I hope you're feeling a little better today, just read your diary from start to finish, I do love the way you write, and talking about skinny black cat makes me laugh, especially when he snubbed your food!

    Thanks Missy, :A :blushing: feeling better today, avoiding appointments of any kind this week so that I can catch up on household stuff. This evenings job is to go through a stack of newspapers and magazines that have piled up.

    I bought a fabulous sports bra in Debenhams at lunchtime, was 70% off so I paid €11.40 RRP €38. :T I can justify this because I didn't have one, was waiting for a discount like this to get a good one rather than a cheap Primark one. It's blue which I really like but according to the sales assistant black and white are most popular which is why only the coloured ones get reduced.
