    Hey Mags

    I love Wagamamas, should try get into mystery shopping really...:)
    You are not responsible for PP not being able to eat, he is a grown man and it seems you have to take a step right back and not be so involved. I know that's easier said than done, Souk had some great advice there though.
    Forgot to say happy birthday last week, I love the shoes but also wouldn't be able to wear them xx

    I probably won't have anywhere to go to wear the shoes even if I can walk short distances in them.

    Thankfully PP is no longer hungry having retreived money from under the mattress! Everyone he encounters seems to have sympathy for his situation. I keep telling them that he doesn't have a single bill to his name, that can't be so bad, sympathy for me instead please :mad:

    Mags, I'm glad you've sorted the painter out. You have no reason to feel guilty and he is just playing on your good nature. It makes you wonder how much money he's scrounged from other people with his 'woe is me' act.

    Your meal sounds lovely. I've never been there either yet I worked down the road from one for 7 years :o
    It's not how far you fall - it's how high you bounce back.... :j

    Yes thanks, just haven't been on here all week.

    Painter went home last Friday :T Have had a few text messages since but I think he's worked out that I'm just being polite and that I'm not interested.

    Musician friend came to visit on Saturday and he brought me to my favourite restaurant for lunch :)

    Big clothes crisis on Sunday when the seam at the waist of my Zara dress ripped when I was getting in the car to go to help at friends pub for the afternoon. Lucky I had a spare dress to change into.

    Horrible news on Monday, "toxic friend" called to say her mother has had a breast cancer diagnosis :( Not sure how bad it is yet.

    Quiet week since then, money situation awful as usual, car tax and insurance have left me even poorer than usual :( I hate August, it's such an expensive month for me.

    Made it to Curves 3 times this week :T

    Was just watching celebrity big brother, will catch up on other diaries over the weekend, hope everyone's well.

    Hiya lovely,

    glad to hear that the PP seems to have got the message. I'm with Souk when it comes to being honest with guys ... although I have seemed to attract the most thick skinned desperadoes in the past, I had to unplug my phone for weeks & leave the country to get shot of one particular hanger on :mad:

    It was incredibly stressful at the time & if it wasn't for some lovely MSE friends I would probably have cracked under the pressure. Thankfully all in the past now :).

    Well done on 3 curves sessions, my exercise has fallen by the wayside recently :o will be back on it Monday though.

    Sorry to hear of your friends mum diagnosis.

    I was watching celeb bb too, have to nip that in the bud I think. Saying that, the diary room stuff about owning the house of commons was hilarious!!

    Well done on Curves :). Hope your friend is ok, wish her mum a good recovery x

    That really was dumb, I only know Amy Childs from magazines and the daily mail phone app, they're always on about her. I've never watched TOWIE so not very familiar with her. Strange how Jedward went along with that. They appear to have a basic working knowledge of who the better known politicians are here in Ireland and we have equivalent buildings.

    What's with the eviction next Friday? Is it not on every night?

    I'm not watching it tonight, or the x factor.

    No need when Dr Who returns next weekend!! Woohoo!!

    It's been a rare good day on onepoll. I earned £1.50 today which has just tipped me over the half-way mark, new balance is £21.40.

    Still watching celeb Big Brother, it's only 1 hour a night before bed so that's not so bad. Just read an internet update that Jedward have been given a task to separate and talk to the other housemates. They've been given different coloured clothes to avoid confusion :D

    Did Curves at lunchtime too :T
