    The debt or the gut?! :p

    I can confirm it is both! Cheesy chips are the devil's work, but they taste so good!

    Wow that was quick! Brilliant now you have something to aim for - oh yes you'll be needing a bikini body alright if you want to attract Scott Michaelson ;) You prob don't even remember Brad n Beth on Neighbours do you? And woohoo to being 18 months away from being past it in the eyes of Australian immigration! You're a sweetie to ask for me :)

    Just been sorting my altercations with the law, they only offer you one speed course so I'll be getting 3 points but it's better than six! And while I was digging about in my purse for my licence I found a tenner squirrelled away in a forgotten compartment! No idea what it's doing there but am pleased - that never happens!

    I don't know who Scott Michaelson is (:o) but I definitely need a bikini body if I'm to attract a hot Australian guy! :cool:

    I love finding lost money! 3 points is definitely better than 6!

    I think I deserve a swirly martin. I've just realised that if I can collect £35 worth of clubcard vouchers by the next statement then I can use airmiles to pay for part of my flight and it will only cost £275! :D :money:

    were you a big brave soldier Cinny?

    I was very brave, I got a lollipop :D A cherry one too! It wasn't too painful, sore on the swirly bits but more like an intense buzzing on straight lines and shading. I took the twitpic as I was walking back to my car. Blood was pooling inside the clingfilm which was lovely :rotfl: Here's a photo from when I got it home and cleaned! (p.s. like my dress?! £5 from Asda!)

    I'll reply to everything properly tomorrow, OH's getting annoyed I'm tapping on here and not taking my dinner plate from him :D Congrats to Birdie on the payrise, and the idea of two MSE's back packing with koalas is beyond lovely :D

    Lucky you getting a lollipop! :D Yeah I noticed the blood - makes it seem more 'real'.. ouch! Looks brilliant though, you must be chuffed. :)

    I'm having a wobbly woment so I've come on here to vent a bit. :oBasically, I realised a couple of days ago that the girl that ex-OH had kissed had blocked me on facebook and for some reason it has really bothered me. At times I really couldn't give a t0ss, but other times I feel really hurt. Like what have I done?! If anything, I should be blocking her! It just feels really secretive, cuz ex-OH has deleted his facebook, and she's blocked me, so I can't see anything that goes on between them. I know it's for the best, but it drives me crazy at times.

    Tonight is one of those times. :(

    Swirly Martins a-go-go for the clubcard deal Zig! :money:

    When are you doing the course Tete? 3 points is definitely better than 6 so that's a slither of good news :) You have have died running around last night, it was so warm and close and awful, I was exhausted just walking home!

    Tattoo looks great Cinny. Lots going on in it, I suppose you'll spend ages just looking at all the little details! I love the dress too! I love the fact that you got a lollipop too! :D

    Zig, sorry you were having a wobble last night. I think this girl who has blocked you is just being a silly mare. You don't want her nosing into your business either. Although I understand the anger when you realise that she blocked you! If anything does happen between them so soon... well, they deserve each other. :mad: The best thing you're doing is moving forwards and going off to Australia to enjoy yourself, what a way to show the world that you're glad the dead weight holding you back is gone (even if that's not how you feel!) :) Hope you slept well and you're feeling better this morning.

    I went to see Bridesmaids last night (finally!). It was brilliant, so funny. Finally a female comedy that's actually big-belly-laugh funny! :D Bit sleepy this morning, got home after midnight, OH was fast asleep when I got in but of course he had to give me the 'Oh I'm so tired you kept me up so late' misery treatment this morning, I just ignored him and went to work! Getting fed up with his moods at the minute, so looking forward to going to London next weekend with Mum and having some time away from home! :cool:

    Oh and some of you already know, but I'm now Twittering... or is that Tweeting?! I got wound up trying to find Cinny's tat picture on there so I decided to suck it up and just open an account. First a blog, then Twitter, what next?! :o

    Morning Birdie!

    Zig - sorry you are having a wobble. Just ignore that girl. She sounds awful and even if something is happening then you don't want to know about it. You deserve someone who will treat you like a princess xxx

    Too true :) I can understand why it'd upset you though :( She sounds like a coward to me. First off she kisses someone elses boyfriend, and then (I can only guess) blocks them to hide what else they're doing. Like I said, I can get why you'd be upset. But she can swivel. You're better than that. Hope you slept okay last night sandy-emoticon-smooch.gif?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1290658662030

    I think it's 'tweeting' Birdie :D I like having my MSE girls on twitter, although you'll all find out what a potty mouth I am :o

    You are a bit of a potty mouth Cinny, but then again I am IRL! ;)

    Urgh, just had a crummy lunch with OH, he's still being all mopey and tired and miserable, actually left to come back to work early as I was so sick of his monosyllabic answers and knew I'd have a go at him if I stayed longer which would then get turned around as me being the idiot! Feel like slapping him about and telling him to cheer the crap up! At least I don't have to deal with him now until 10.15, and I've just got a big package of crafty stuff in the post which I shall have fun making nice things with whilst watching Rio. Just have to get through the rest of the afternoon at work first! :)

    Watching Rio? Watching Rio? Nope, can't fathom what it must be...?

    I knew you wouldn't know Brad! Bliddy youngsters! Help me out here CMD, Poddle, Lara? He was the quintessential Aussie surfer dude!

    Excellent price for the flight Zig, have you booked it?! Hope you're feeling a bit better this morning, you're bound to have low moments. I find myself feeling a bit bi-polar as I can be so happy and full of froth and positive energy one minute and then I sort of think 'who are you kidding, look at you' and get all deflated again :( Keep thinking about Scott Michaelson and all will be well xx

    Tattoo looks much nicer without the pooling blood Cinny :D and yes you are a potty mouth, I couldn't believe it when I saw you in Twitter effing and jeffing away - our sweet little Cinny!!

    My course isn't til nearly the end of September, so I'll have it to look forward to. Someone on my blog said her 83 year old dad got caught recently and had to go on the course! I say it makes a change, the oldies are normally dawdling along unaware of anyone else! And yes I did sweat like the proverbial pig last night - phew! Remember the Nike advert with the man running away looking over his shoulder at the beer belly? That was me only with a massive swarm of midges - they're attracted to your heat aren't they? I was giving off so much heat and couldn't run away fast enough!

    Birdie that must be rough with OH going on like a twit - just ignore him til he gives himself a shake? It's horrible when the people we live with bring us down with their misery.

    Am a drowned rat, was huffing and puffing in the changing rooms and saying to myself that I wishes the weather would break, and when I came out it well and truly had and I was at the opposite end of town to where I needed to be :( Was trying on that maxi dress I like in plain black, they don't have the paisley but I wanted to see how it fitted. I looked really fat :( I thought tall people were supposed to look good in maxis, I looked short and stubby!

    ETA - I now have ELEVEN watchers on the battered travel wallet! Madness! I was going to just put it in the charity shop...
