    Positive attitude has taken a bit of a hit today - my sister decided that a good way to start the morning was to tell me she hates me, living with me is awful and this is "her" house and not mine (it belongs to our mother, so not quite sure how she can justify that one), I have no place being here... lovely stuff. All I said to her today was good morning! :( We had a couple of words last night but I apologised at the time, so I'm not sure where this has come from. On top of Mr L deciding it isn't practical to live together again just now/he doesn't want to move at the moment, my confidence has taken a bit of battering!

    So, today was a spendy day as I went to A$da feeling very low... However I resisted the temptation to spend a small fortune on CDs and games, and bought myself some (needed) underwear and socks instead (rock'n'roll...), and a couple of other small bits. I was going there anyway, to do a household shop, just had to get out of the house so ended up having breakfast there to avoid shopping when hungry!

    Anyway, enough shopping and eating chocolate, I think I might go and make use of that jacuzzi and steam room I'm paying through the nose for... :o

    OOH I nearly forgot! Yesterday was NSD Number 5!!

    ((((((hugs)))))) lotti, that's horrible. Siblings can be very cruel sometimes:( and it's come at a bad time for you with Mr L's decision at the weekend.

    I'd be inclined to lie low for a bit and get the most use possible from the steam room and jacuzzi, you'll be so glamorous you won't know yourself:D

    Well done for resisting the shopping temptation, you deserve a medal for that.

    We're here if you need to let off steam (excuse the pun) anytime.

    Take care

    No plans to spend today, but I may need to get fruit.

    NSD 4!!!

    Got to buy petrol in a bit, but I will claim it back on work expenses so I am not counting that. Hoping for a NSD tomorrow too as I should only have to pay for parking for work which again I can claim back. I am DETERMINED to hit my target by the end of Jan, really need to pull my finger out!
