    Hi guys thank you for your support. I'm no longer grumpy!

    How are you?

    Watching Dr who! I am not very well, have been spending money. I'm also annoyed at the trains, they forced me to be an hour late on monday >.<

    I'd like to hang about and visit people's diaries but I need to go to bed. Or be lazy. See you guys soon.

    Hi guys, sorry for being MIA. I will be stalking you guys to see what you've been up to.

    So I'm just going to do a big update and will give it headings so you can choose what you want to read.

    Money
    I've been totting up how much I have and I have £1.4k in cash ISAs, 14.5k in current accounts and finally 4.9k in my S&S ISA. This means that I have increased my worth by around 9k this year!

    I currently have 2k space in my current account for interest baring savings, so I need to think about the next account.

    Health
    I'm ill. I'm also on drugs that require me to eat, so I'm getting tins of soup to microwave instead of buying sandwiches (I never remember to make something for myself). The cheap tins are lovely and can get a week's worth for about 1.5 sandwiches. Did you know that waitrose own soup is cheaper than sainsbury's own soup?

    Went swimming again on Friday. Still tired! lol. It was great though, Lilt you should go! Family nights you would need to pay only for the adult and the kid goes with. It's weird, it lessens all the pain when you're in there.

    Job
    Urrrrgggghhhhhhhhh. It was a nightmare, it stressed me out and made me feel very ill. I was being shouted at for doing a good job o.O

    Have lots of holiday to take off so I'm going to be organised... maybe.

    Applying casually to jobs. I'm concentrating more on studying at the moment. On that note...

    AAT
    Tuesday is my next test, I'll be half way through the level! I've also already gone through the majority of the next module material so I'm excited that I'm making real progress. I won't be taking an exam in december but will be studying.

    Dating
    I'm not really into dating I've found. It's just not enjoyable.

    I went on a date with this bloke who just talked on and on about a girlfriend he had at 17, he's 25. !!!!!!?

    Misc
    SO EXCITED ABOUT POKEMON COMING OUT!

    How are you guys?
  • Peaty, where have you been my dear? And thank you for the comprehensive catch up.

    Who's been shouting at you, what's wrong with these people. Lilty and me will go and have words with them!

    I love waitrose milk and bread so I'm sure I'd love their soup. But they are so far away.

    I also love your healthy bank balances, one day I will be there too. :)

    Good luck with the test on Tuesday and glad to see you back. :D

  • Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy you!!!

    So glad you're back. Thanks for popping in and for the epic catch up! I'm not a dater either. To date I have been on 2 dates. Both have ended in 5 year long relationships... and counting on the current one ;) lol. That bloke sounds like my ex. Don't worry, if you went out with him for 2 weeks he would have been just as devastated about you too :rotfl:

    Quite a lot of things waitrose are cheaper. I shopped with Ocado a few times when I was buying £400 of groceries for 2 and a half people a month :eek: because I had money off vouchers. Amazing food. Ocado are the warehouse that holds all waitrose stuff too. So you can order either ocado branded or waitrose branded stuff, or branded branded stuff!

    I'm so sorry to hear you've been so ill. Take it those new tablets did not work then? Hugs Peatypie.

    My jaw is dropping open at the moolah you have stored. There is a house deposit (not in Kent mind you) sat right in your accounts! That is amazing!! and well done on keeping up with exams even whilst ill. You're such a trooper, I applaud you!!

    Lots of love! xx

    Hi. This is embarrassing, promising to be back and then just not. Whoops. Sorry!

    I've never actually bought my food shop online, I hear it's good for avoiding unnecessary purchasing. But then I rarely do a food shop now.

    SS I was being yelled at for finding errors while testing the software, which was ridiculous. It's just how work is though isn't it. :/

    So my dating activities are expensive and extensive. I told one guy yesterday that he's a tad clingy for someone that I have only been on a couple of dates with. I was being nice, he will not stop texting after he knows I've gone to bed >.< I've been going on a couple of dates with a couple of other guys, nothing serious (I'm not that type of girl!), just a getting to know you kind of activity.

    I'm on an antidepressant to affect the way my brain processes pain are strange. I have stopped having feelings like I used to. Like enjoyment is a bit like a further away emotion, kinda. Usefully, I feel anger and despair just as vividly as ever (maybe more so). BUT I'm in less pain. I can do a little bit of exercise without squealing, the walk in the cold isn't as bad as it usually is... It's a balancing act eh?

    Christmas is coming soon! Are you guysies ready? I might be ready, but need to wrap. When I wrap I will find something I missed.

    I found out how many family members it takes to change a lightbulb, 3 and a ladder. Those things are a nightmare! You can't grip them like normal, but you had to push and turn then twist down. >.< These are all excuses for being a bit pathetic lol.

    I feel quite ill but want to get my room sorted. Ehh
