  • Right where do i start?

    Yesterday is prob a good place. I appologise for my outburst I am not sure how many of you actually caught it but basically i took someones post the wrong way. This was because of teh way it was worded and mostly my reading. For this reason i eamiled nearlyrich to lock my diary and then i went away ranting on the thread in question. This was totally out of order on my part and i am upset with myself for doing such a silly thing on a place i love. I have contacted all involved and hopefully we can move on from here.

    I have many a pm from some of you on here now i know most of them are because you care for me but some of them upset me futher to the point where i wasnt going to return tonight. However one special poster deserved an explanation and a reply from previuosly exchanged pm's. Anyways before i loged on i also caught/read a post by mumzyof2, now i am not quoting it bacuse its not my place but lets just say it gave me the confidance boost i needed, so i am now back groveling once again.

    I didnt mention this here but i mentioned it on the daily thread so i better bring it in here too. I was yesterday going to leave college, not out of choice but out of need. Launching this site on paper has been great but my work load have tripled. From making one/two cards max per night i am now having to make up to five per night just to meet demand, and dare i say it that isnt even from traffic through the site as its mainly from users on here. Now add the site traffic/purchases to that that makes me one busy lady. For that reason i was going to drop out of college. However after many a chat with somene my plan is now this. Apart from the orders i have here and the wedding invites i am no longer taking orders and definatley not making any more cards untill my coursework (due in in 3 weeks) is completed. This may seem mad to all of you however i payed £200 for that course and its something i have wanted to do since i left school, in no way is that being sacrificed. be it 2 weeks or three to get this finished and handed in this comes first. This also comes first over mse so although i will still be here ducking in and out if i am missing for a night or two that will be where i am.

    Right now little updates that are due. I have been silly and transferred out some of my savings. Now firstly i needed some anyways because i i miss calculated my driving money and thus was nearly £30 short. Ekk last night he came and i didnt have all my cash ready for him so as you can guess my budgeting this month has gone down woopsie. However the real reason i wanted the cash was to have a spending binge again. I wanted to get the remainder of my xmas gifts out the way and then buy some more games and junk to fill my room with. Obviously this isnt a good pap is it? Now this will prob make you all curdle but this is what i am doing. I am buying the remainder of my gifts which will be approx £70/£80 then the rest will make up the short fall and £30 should be sent to argos.

    But there is some common sense in my madness ~ it saves buying them next month which will mean all my balance (except my brothers) payed off on payday. There are reasons for this ~ i wont go shopping in december be it for vouchers for normal shopping, i brave the crowds once with my mother for xmas day foods thats it. Also at present i have no days off in december except my set days which will be spend at college and doing college work. The days i have off that i am doing anything is my birthday when i will go shopping for xmas 2008 gifts.

    So thats the money planned, you will also be glad to know i am no a stash diet from all my crafting stuff. A good poster here gave me a site for card making etc however i spent so much time in teh shopping bit it was getting silly. I have spent far too much and i cant cope. So i have banned myself from the said internet site and i have pledge myself that i am only allowed my subscription @ £20 and no more. Untill every card i have now is made, I have over 250 cards left so i cant see that being soon.

    Random stuffs, I am still ill, i was back at work today but i should have stayed at home. No way was i well enough to go back, not only that but the washer is broken so all day i was hunched over a hot sink making me queasy. I will go in tommorow but if i am anything like i was today i wont make it through the day.

    Next bit of random stuffs the house is being rewired, we are council tenants and some plug went wrong about a month ago and the electrician said he would but in an urgent request that our house is rewired ~ because in his words our house i a fire waiting to happen ~ eek. Anyways the man came out yesterday and said its being bumped to the top of the list and they start next tuesday eek eek Anyways my whole room needs moving around so they can lift half the floor boards. No problems though as i will borrow my brothers lappy if need be (wireless). However its good in one respect as we have a lino rolled oup downstairs that covers our kitchen but its still new. Basically when the council did work on our house three years ago they flooded the kitchen so mum claimed on her then insurance. We got this new lino pick by me. Its never gone down because its too much hasstle to pull everything out so its still rolled up. Now my room used to be two so it has two carpets and some wooden floor underneath one bit of carpet. So when we have to pull all this up for the rewireing, mum said i could have the lino ~ woo hoo. All i will need to do is get some rugs from ikea (only £1 each) but i am so happy.

    Next random stuffs. Last night i had a driving lesson, i was going to cancel but i though nah ill go. Anyways we were in rush hour and school traffic and i did nothing wrong, not one mirror fault/gear fault or anythinga nd my manovers were fab too. I know thats very random but i was so pleased with myself it was unreal hehe.

    Ummm thats it i think, well for now hope i havent bored any of you or upset any of you. I do appologise, i guess i still havent mastered the art of forum use.

    Take care all pap

    Hehe sarah, i know, i prefer shortening quotes too, saves space. yes we go to the ikea in bristol. Its not that far about 30min but its busy on certain days/times. Also i only go once/twice a year so its not too bad.

    I missed all this and it sucks that someone/something upset you, I for one would thoroughly miss you if you weren't here.

    Good for you for sticking to your course, you're so much stronger than you think you are.
