    Thanks Dawn,
    Some days are better than others, hey. Just found out my Mum is likely to come visit me on Sunday, so that'll be lovely. Brightened my day a bit more. Going to take some more co-codamol and curl up I think.
    I'm glad you stopped by.

    Hope you feel better soon. The surgery sounds horrible, and I think I'd be having a similar reaction if they tried to go near my eyes *shudder*.

    The bid thing - it means someone wants your item and has raised their highest bid a couple of times. It bodes well should someone else decide to bid on your item :)

    Good luck with the interview, and have a good weekend :)

    Hey jwil - It was pretty freaky, glad its over. Eyelids are much more sensitive than we think they are - soo many nerves and veins. Never again!

    Today I decided to take a break from obsessing about money. I'm getting a headache from it all, and I have been rewriting my budget daily because my circumstances keep changing and its driving me mad.

    I've managed to break my phone - its being super unresponsive and I can't even unlock it 50% of the time. Don't know what I did, think it might have been a theme I installed. Hopefully I can fix it.

    I gave myself a manicure and went to the cinema to see "This Means War" which was really good. I love the cinema when the audience is responsive -our lot were laughing and cheering and clapping.
    I filed a heap of paperwork too, and now 80% of my room is in order. I just have one drawer left to sort and also I need to vacuum. Three things have sold on ebay and my most expensive item now has 5 watchers. Fingers crossed for that.

    I'm off to sit with my friend while she plays xbox & I try and fix the disaster my phone has become. Proper stuff tomorrow. :)

    -minii.

    p.s. over 860 of you have read my ramblings. keep going guys, i don't know who you all are, but you are wonderful and strong and you can beat this.

    Today has been a good day. Not only was it my first NSD of this month (success!) but I also made £39.36 on eBay, not including postage. *feels very proud* 6 of the 10 things I listed sold. I'm going to relist the things that didn't, and add another 6 to be sold tomorrow. :)

    Only stopping by quickly -am clearing out my bookmarks on my laptop because I just switched browsers. Just wanted to share the good news x

    Wow that op sounds really yuck - i'd hate anyone to be fiddling with my eyes like that, whatever the reason. Well done on ebay - thats a good total. Also - great job news and good luck on Thursday :)

    I've reached over 1000 views :O

    I'm sorry I've not been around for a few days. I had a lovely Tuesday when my mum came down and I saw Chris and then I spent yesterday having "me-time" because I was so run down and exhausted that I'd slept 13 hours and I figured I needed a break.

    Today was the job interview. There were 6 of us, and 5 positions were open. *gulp* I was open and chatty with everyone, and I really liked the group. There was a lovely woman called Paula, who was older & better qualified than I was. In the end, it was between me & her for the final position & I got called up first. They said that when it was this close they have to go on gut instinct, and the manager believed I was "the one" and they really hoped I didn't let them down.

    I couldn't believe it. ME. I got the job despite being a total retard 90% of the time. Then I had to sneak out the building without seeing Paula so they sent me down the stairs, and I bloody bumped into her! ARGH. So I said "I can't say anything, but good luck!" and fled. I start on the 2nd of April, Monday-Friday, 9am-12:30. Easy hours, easy work, easy money. I'm soooo excited and proud of myself.

    So, hello, I'm very employed, how may I help you?
