    Hi LG!
    I felt compelled to write! Ive been reading your diary for the past couple of months and you seem to be living my dream life down in London!
    I'm from up north and have only been to London twice in my whole life... Once was for work and I only spent the afternoon there.

    Wanted to say a massive congratulations on passing your CIMA exam!!! :D

    I will continue following your journey wishing every day my life was as fabulous as yours sounds.

    Congratulations again...

  • That is brilliant news LG!

    have a fab weekend!

    and who ever said you were living their dream life in London - that is the main reason why I read! It's great reading about all the stuff you do! I wish I had done that sort of thing

    Good luck with the new course xxx

    I don't visit your diary for a few days and I come back to find that you have gotten up to mischief:rotfl: Congratulations on the exam passes, I am thrilled for you:T:beer::j Fab news about the eye candy too especially one that pays his way - I too went out with someone who rapidly went through my cash and then when I discovered he was a lying, cheating !!!!!! I ditched him because he had moved onto another mug who no doubt was paying for everything.

    I am settling in slowly and have had a few windfalls - my hospital saturday fund paid me £93 for my glasses (I had paid the eye hospital £187 for 2 pairs of specs) and today I received a refund cheque from Scottish Power to the tune of £44.13:cool: I need to find my credit union passbook and pay the cheque into there (I need to change my address with them too).

    One of the places I used to go with London twerp (yes ex bf lived there) was Namco Station on the Southbank not far from the London Eye, I know it was the kind of place that you could spend if you were so minded but I used to like the dodgems as they cost 50p. I also liked the discounted theatre tickets that I used to get from that big round booth on Leicester Square, mind you I have seen some wierd shows and sometimes I would get free tickets as London twerp would get them as he was a civil servant although I think they have now stopped that little perk. The best show was The Rat Pack the worst was probably Bat Boy the Musical or the even wierder one at a theatre behind a pub where it was two people on stage talking about their life and it took an age to realise that they were supposed to be dead.

    Meals wise we used to go to the Texas Embassy which is behind Trafalgar Square, El Chicos in Streatham (this is a mexican place where the food is relatively cheap and it has a great atmosphere) and sometimes we would go to various portugese restaurants in Stockwell where the food was relatively plain if a little bit wierd.
