    well done for getting your tarot payslip, are you saving your tax already for the next bill? (just a little nudge :) )

    not gonna say that SS and OH need a kicking, because i'm in a snit with certain elements of the world and am being blunt with everyone even if i shouldn't be so i'm practicing some restraint.

    thanks for the nudge on tax LT :D, I will put some money away from this pay going forward. Promise :o

    I replied to a thread on the families board, wishing I hadn't now as a lot of the posters are getting quite aggressive. I'd quoted an example of a situation and I'm getting berated for it. I'll stick to the diaries and OS in future I think!


    LT, you can be as blunt as you want I don't mind in the slightest. Honestly. I know SS doesn't give a hoot and OH and I think he may have been offered digs elsewhere and turned them down as they were more expensive than with us. The joke's on him as I will carry out my threat. I've just had the AA breakdown guy in stitches as I told him about the 'lazy little twit who'd moan when his car does break down because he hadn't activated his breakdown cover', I did it so I wouldn't lose my money and so I didn't get a phonecall when I'm heading to bed to say he's broken down/ran out of fuel etc etc. SS is claiming he's totally skint, yet he let slip he's away to see his friends on friday..........peace and quiet. So he can't be THAT skint. He earns 16k a year and out of that he pays his car, and digs..... thats it. We sat and worked out he has £90 a week left over (and that was taking his petrol etc to the extreme so he's probably got more than this) so how he can be skint on that I don't know!

    Anyway, I'm not going to let it wind me up.

    .........think nice thoughts......think nice thoughts.

    Oh Uni *shakes head* you know better than to venture onto those boards - people are shouty and scary!

    Anyway, I've stalked you over there and added my support - they can shout at both of us! :D

    Aw, thanks Nora. :o

    Done some tarot tonight, quick update on here then bed. Ordered pizza (really shouldn't have as that's debt busting money but wasnt in mood to cook), sat and watched first ever episode of Cold Feet. Never seen it before, it was hilarious! Jimmy Nesbit with a rose clenched between his bum cheeks!!! :p.


    Not sure if I have a cold or a chill, blocked nose, shivers, sore throat, feel sick and have niggly pin in my stomach. I'm stretched out in bed with the duvet and big blanket over me to keep me warm. Have kept the heating on down low overnight since the temperature is really meant to drop overnight.

    hope you're soon feeling better, take care of yourself and take lots of vitamins.

    I've been keeping our heating on day and night at a low temp, not usually doing this but i'm sick of feeling cold all the time, and it may just help us stop it getting damp before we move.

    I'm doing the same with our heating LT, it was -6C when I was driving back after dropping off OH. Done some tarot tonight, about £6 worth which including last nights takes me over the £10 minimum payment. Will make sure I put away some next week for tax (just read Martin's article on freelancers).

    Work was freezing today and I mean FREEZING! I normally wear a trouser suit to work and will take the jacket off as our office is usually boiling. Not today, I kept my suit jacket on all day and my scarf. Was glad to get finished so I could get to the car for a heat. We were all sat with jackets on.

    Total blast from the past, found an old (late 90s early 2000) film camera. It has film in it but the camera battery is flat so cant tell how much of the film has been used. I wonder if I should see if anywhere still develops film? (probably costs a fortune now!)

    think the likes of Boots still process films.

    i got home last night to Mr LT having moved the dehumidifier into the bedroom yesterday as the walls have condensation on them because of the cold - argh don't want our buyer wanting to come and have another look before it all gets finalised and seeing that.

    It shouldn't take too long to dry out LT.

    I've had a mare of a day.

    1) They were running late at the doctors so my pre-work appointment turned into during work. The best of it was there was only 2 people waiting (me and someone else) and the dr had no one in his office but I was still kept waiting 30 mins
    2) Someone at work is really doing my head in, really making me look bad. He knows what times I work and leaves questions that take about an hour to answer till 5 mins before I leave. I hate him.
    3) My ezcema is back out and its really painfull.
    4) SS and OH clashing and I'm fed up. SS went out tonight was hoping for peace but he's coming back tonight
    5) Been referred to hand clinic for pain I'm in
    6) All OH is moaning about is he's tired and fed up with his kids (funnily enough so am I)
    7) Feeling pretty low, texted my friend but they can't come round
    8) I ate a huge bowl of pasta (I pig out when I feel low on mac n cheese) and now I feel quite sick
    9) Fancy a glass of wine but can't as need to get OH from work in the morning (the way I'm feeling its probably a bad idea having a glass of wine the way I'm feeling).

    Watching corrie (I don't feel up to logging on), sorry if I'm prattling on work is the main thing that's getting me down as everyone thinks this guy can do no wrong.
