    Well he's taken the laptop so I'm not expecting him back for a while. I've done loads of cleaning today, it's much easier to keep the house clean with just me in it.

    I know what you mean. My house looks so much nicer with just me and DD :)
    Kind of annoyed with my new chunky knit cardigan from Dorothy Perkins. It's only my second day wearing it and the sleeves are bobbly already :(

    Take it back!

    How come I can't seem to multiquote single messages like everyone else does? What am I doing wrong?

    Not sure, I just copy and paste sometimes.

    It's not been a great week. I've had a really bad headcold which lasted nearly a week. So uncomfortable and made me cranky and depressed. I feel so run down.

    Financial situation awful as usual, I'm just about keeping the bills paid, I seem to have lost focus a bit. I had a bit of a lightbulb moment that I'm paying €160 a month on debts so it's no wonder I'm always broke.

    The actor left a week ago although he has been back to collect things I've not met him. I got him a birthday card and gift (just a CD from Ministry of Sound that he had mentioned as something he was going to buy). He seemed really happy that I remembered his birthday and I got a lovely thank you text. He loves the business cards I made him too so hopefully he might buy me coffee or something again soon.

    I wondered what had happened to you Mags. Hope you feel better soon.

    I'm ok thanks ((((x)))) I've just been really bad at updating on here :o Will get back to it I promise.

    Still sort of missing the actor :( He has come back to visit :) but now he says he's depressed :(

    Finances are awful as usual. To make it worse somebody keeps needing to borrow money from me. Everybody seems to be broke at the moment. Yet again I have zero money left but at least I get paid again tomorrow.

    I've listed a few clothes on ebay and have £9 on onepoll.

    This is a miserable time of year. The fun of xmas and new year is over and now we just have freezing cold weather and grey skies :(

    I am broke too :(

    The actor sounds awfully self-absorbed if you ask me....

    I know but I can't stop myself being attracted to him. Anyway I think I've ruined it completely now :( He called round again earlier (probably just for my Nespresso coffee and his dinner). He couldn't stay because tonight............he's babysitting a 2yr old and a 7yr old for his friends :eek:.

    Not the most conventional choice of babysitter but he'd actually be great. Problem is this conversation just reminded him that I don't want children and he would LOVE children so I might as well just give up now. This doesn't come as a shock to him by the way, he knew all along but was CERTAIN he'd change me mind. (Yes I know he's arrogant) I think he's now realised that he won't change my mind.

    In other news :) I've been back at Curves this week and I'm feeling better for it. I thought about cancelling because I didn't get back into it after Christmas. But today the girl there told me that loads of the regulars have been absent and that it's mostly newbies at the moment. Made me feel a bit better :)

    Not loving eBay. I had a dress that had 35 watchers but it sold for only £12. Other items sold for the starting price of 99p. And now I have to go and package up and post all this stuff. I think the mystery shopping might be more profitable.

    You both have to be on the same page where kids are concerned. I know WLM would have loved children but that was my one bugbear with him - I've just got my life back now dd is 8 - I can't go through all that toddler stuff again.

    I haven't been for a run for nearly 2 weeks because it's too snowy where I go. I'm sure the exercise would cheer me up a bit.

    Sorry you're not having fun with ebay. Maybe put the 99p things on for £2 to start with next time?
