Not a great weekend so far
My fridge freezer has given up and have had to throw loads of food away, also managed to rescue some and my mum had some space in her freezer.
This is why I need an emergency fund! and so far mine has £30 in it!! I get paid on Friday so will have to buy a new one then (my poor lodger moves in today aswell!). just dont quite know how i will manage for the rest of the month.
My washing machine is also playing up - not sure how much longer it will last :eek: . everythingf goes at once!!!
trying not to get down but its hard:(:(
I have listed 5 dresses on ebay which do not fit me any more yet I was waitingf to lose weight but that will not be happening any time soon!
Not done much revision as been crying over a man of all things!!!!! giving up altogether!!!!
so anyway at least (I hope!) things won't get any worse (touch wood) xxx0 -
sending you hugs, just breathe.....
it's sods law that everything all goes at once but i'm sure your new lodger will understand. Hope things have settled down now0 -

Hi Miaow, Hope you are feeling a little less fed up today, and have had a much better day.. some days you wish that you never got out of bed don't you (Well I know I do!!)....it never rains but it pours and one thing always happens after another, cliche but so true!!
I hope you can sort something out soon.....will your lodger be giving you a deposit? If so can it go towards a fridge freezer?
Sorry to read you were crying over a man, sending you a virtual hug....no man is worth crying over but we can't help ourselves can we? Hope you get that side sorted too hun....
To end on another cliche ! (gee I'm full of them today!!) Keep your chin up, things can only get better!!!!August 13 NSD 4 /15.... /4 in a row!!!! Credit cards as of [STRIKE]13/4/12[/STRIKE] 31/07/12

Thanks Loobeyloop:) feeling much better. loving the cliches!!! made me laugh :Dxx0 -
What a few days!!!!
feeling much better, thanks for the virtual hugs:D:D
I have worked out that I can buy a new fridge freezer on Friday when I get paid and have enough to live off for the month - i will just have to pay a little less off my OD I am trying to prioritise.
My tenant arrived on Sunday and is lovely. I couldnt have got anyone better, we get along well, loads in common and will definitely be friends but also no awkwardness of feeling I need to talk to him all the time/ cook together etc, just quite relaxed so that is really positive:)
Revision is going slow but getting there!!
As for crying over a certain male, I am trying to distance myself from him and not text etc but iut is hardjust not going to work at the moment
cannot wait for new fridge freezer and exam to be over!!!!!

when will your exam take place? hope it's not too long now. Glad your lodger has fitted in perfectly that must be a real challenge.0

Glad to read you have a tennant you get on with well, hope that all works out ok.
