ok pets i have a black cat which is my baby, where i lived before the girl that lived above me had him as a kitten and he was/is a handfull and she wanted to give him away which by that time i had fallen in love with him so i had him and i have never looked back he is know 11 and with me being ill all the time he makes sure i get out of bed every morning by either biteing my hair or jumping on me. if i did not have him i think i would be really depressed so he is really spoilt.
fantasy pets i would love a monkey or a snow leopard or dolphin you did say fantasy.
anyway i have been really bad and brought some items last week which have come today in my defence i blame it on turning 40 and the fact that im going into hospital near the end of next month and i wont be buying anything for at least a couple of months so here goes.
body shop there was a glitch where you could get a 400ml shampoo/conditioner free by spending £1.50 so here's what i brought
2 shower puffs ( 1 for hospital and 1 for dads xmas box)
1 Conditioner (free)
1 Shampoo (free)
next glitch was a free body butter
1 Satsuma shower gel
1 Satsuma body butter (free)
1 Conditioner (free)
i also got 2 glossybox as there was a code to get one free.
and on ebay i brought Avon Today shower cream and body lotions as i love this and avon don't sell it any more so when i see it cheap i always try to get some.
end of my ramble.0 -

I totally agree, I don't think there is any deodorant out there that can battle this heat! lol
So I sent a depressed friend a care package today, small one, but hopefully the surprise will bring a smile to her face and gave a friend a thank you gift full of products. So I have some OUT's/GA's:

Manicare tweezers
Essence nail polish and

Thanks guys. Have applied for a season ticket loan to start on the 1st so I can get to work so that will save me some money if that comes through. Was having a look online and my local Boots store want a Saturday person. I am quite tempted to apply for it!
ETA: If I found £100 on the floor and I couldn't do anything rational with it, I would probably buy myself a new outfit or something!Emergency Fund - £8572.39 / £10,000 :: Mortgage OP 2025 - £LISA 24/25 - £3200 / £4000 :: NSD 2025 - 2 / 150 :: Books Read: 1 / 52 :: Decluttering - 4 / 1000Engaged 9th December 2010 :: Married 29th October 2015 :: Bought a House 13th January 20170 -

Tokki - your dog looks very cute. I used to wear aqua allegoria years ago, can't recall the ones I had now but they are divine.
Re the deoderant - mitchum roll on is good but you still get wet in the heat, just without the odour.
I am totally fed up today, I placed a next directory order yesterday from the new AW books and it arrived today, half of it is wrong but what was more annoying was the 8.00 am phone call from India, not even sure what she was rambling on about but I told her calling at that time was not acceptable and she just carried on following her script:mad:
Then I had to call Barclays who had charged me £22 for going over my overdraft for 2 days. Again I got through to India and talked at cross purposes for 5 minutes. Now my BT e-mail account is down and that is another phone call to India. How do these companies think this is a good idea. We should have UK call centres giving people a job here. Sorry for the rant which is not like me but I do find it very annoying.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler
