    Hello pania, it's good to see you back. I was wondering if you'd won the pools and gone on holiday. 'all the money at the end of the month is mine' sounds good, well done you. Hope you have a very happy birthday and a great day out.

    Hi P, nice to see you, I noticed you'd been quiet. Very wise words about (not) being scared - I might print them out to go with the positive thinking ones :)

    On the subject of hair, I was worried last night that DFW was going a bit far, as I bought £1.99 hairdye and then only used half of it cos my hair is so short at the mo - mixed it up in a container so I could save the other half for next time. I also picked up a few pennies that I spotted in various places yesterday.. which is nothing to do with hair but does make me think I'm getting slightly obsessed with saving money :rotfl:

    Hi pania

    I just copied 2 things from the last 24 hours...........
    Well i've had a bit of time away form it all, still at home, still working, just got very very depressed for a while, absolutely no idea other than tiredness but i'm sure other sufferers out there know that these things jump up to bite us on the donkey when we least expect it.

    Oh yeah, I really really know about this. Some days its impossible.
    Don't be scared until you know there is something to be scared of, and once you know there is something to be scared off, work out the best direction in which to run like hell!!! he he.

    I *love* this!

    And glad to hear about dp and his little (temporary) friend, and your adjustment of the work life balance. Mine is ok, but I deffo need adjustment of the mse-life balance, I've gone totally skew-wiff recently. I'm trying tho (very trying, I hear that chorus, I do, really I do) lol

    hey guys, thanks for taking the time to post,

    Squizzel £1.99 hair dye!! eep!!! does it work if so where from? i neeeeed some! eagerly awaiting the call for a £10 colour!! good to hear from you anyhow, and glad you managed to make head or tale of the thoughts you mentioned, sometimes you know what you're trying to say but it doesn't quite come out right?
    Have you really printed out the positive thinking quotes? hope they are helpful!! :-)

    Hiya karma, Thanks for the quotes, sometimes it can get you like that can't it. a good few months since i last had a real downer so getting fewer thank goodness.
    Glad you liked the quote to!
    The work life balance is primarily governed by how busy it is! but is nice when i've got some quieter time and i have now established i can close off my diary if it gets too loopy like last week. OH and i are doing good right now and i think it is due to the re-structure and agreement on what evenings i'l work.
    However the MSE-life balance is a totally different matter! Hope you get things sorted soon. xxx

    I get mine in Home Bargains, have seen it in the occasional supermarket and cheap chemists - yep it works great, although I find the colour comes off a bit when I wash my hair for the first week or so, which when you use 'red black' is not ideal on white towels :rolleyes:

    Oh... it's Schwarzkopf Poly Colour, if you want to have a look for stockists.

    Right am off round to the lovely hypno for a cuppa tea, going to take laptop incase i need it for work (not for any handy matched betting hints i promise!:rotfl: :rolleyes: )

    Have a nice afternoon! x
