Hi,

Feeling pretty poo as well (hence needing to cheer up with alkifrol) - keep arguing with my best friend. We don't spend much time together anymore because as she put it "I want to go out and have fun, not just hang around at each others houses. You need to lighten up".

I've tried to tell her I really can't afford to go out, but she has waaay more disposable income than me (I have none!) and I don't think she understands where I am coming from! And if I do go out, I can't stop thinking about the money I am spending on overpriced drinks and then I am not very good company anyway

Not much I can do about it really but just needed get it off my chest. Sorry

(((Hugs))) JCG, there's no need to apologise, we're all here for you xx:A

That's not an easy situation to be in, other people's expectations can be difficult to manage and that's where a lot of friendships come unstuck. Could you maybe use some of the discount vouchers on here to go for a more reasonably-priced night out and then go somewhere your friend wants to go but cut down on the drinks?

I think we've probably all been in this situation and it's not nice to feel you no longer have anything in common with someone who you consider to be your best friend. Hopefully you can find some way of resolving this but, if not, it may just be time to move on unfortunately.

Hello lovely gang:A

Well....... I logged on here tonight full of good intentions and got slightly distracted reading a diary - and I still haven't finished it.

I'll be back tomorrow to update the NSDs from today, well done everyone, and catch up with tomorrow's happenings.

jinty - I thought I saw you on the news tonight - was that you in the mac, trillby and dark glasses stalking the Edinburgh streets?:D

Pleased everyone enjoyed the wiggles and well done beanie for resisting the chinese - a WW curry is much better for you:D

'night everyone and see you all tomorrow

Good morning all!

Saturday at last!

Today I'm off to get my hair done - cut, colour and highlights, the full bhuna today! Cant wait as I cant see for my fringe in my eyes. I feel like cousin IT from the Adaams family.

Not sure what else I'm up to, but I'm going to try to steer clear of spending anything. I have my hols in 4 weeks so I could do with conserving if poss.

Morning all! :hello:

Love that smiley Jinty, you'll feel better when you've had your hair done.

BDINI, how did the date go??

Spoon, PAY YOUR BILLS! :A

Well today should be NSD no 11 and the fifth one in a row! :j

I'll confirm later, but there's nothing I need to buy today.

Got my cousin popping round this morning, so we need to do a bit of tidying before she arrives as the house is a tip again

Hope everyone has a good day! Lily x

Good morning everyone! :wave:

:j Just worked out that the NSD caught yesterday, means my chocolate mini-roll is now up to 8 NSDs in-a-row and so I'm up to 14 NSDs in total! :j

JFC - so sorry to hear about your best friend (((hugs))) - I agree with Spoon's wise words!

Morning all!

BDINI - Hope the date went well??


Just popping in to say that today wont be a NSD for me as I bought 2 bits of furniture for DD bedroom from Te**o direct in their clearance. I figured I'd use some of the funds from e*ay as she desperately needs more storage and I'm trying to make her room more of a little girls room than a baby room.

Off out tomorrow for lunch with the In laws, they have kindly said they'll pay as they know our financial situation, so it may or may not be a NSD tomorrow (we'll probably buy a few drinks as a thanks).

Hope you all enjoy the sun over the weekend :-)

NSD no 14 for me yesterday please Spoon. Only 1 more until I reach my target. I may not get it this weekend, but I will do my best.

Have a great weekend everyone :beer:
