Good and bad weekend

The bad - the guy I've been seeing for the last 10 months thinks we should be 'just friends' (I knew this was coming tho and I'm ok with it). Received a load of old mail from my old address which included nasty letters from a collection agency regarding a debt I don't remember. My company's sharepurchase team haven't received my instructions to cash my shares in because they sent me the wrong form, and sent the correct form to my old address - I was kind of hoping to have the money next pay day to pay for going BR :mad:

The good - I got my cat back (my ex has had her since we split up last year). I've got my Le Creuset saucepans back. I've been given loads of free stuff in the last couple of days too by my friend - TV, video recorder, coffee machine, videos and books - what I decide not to keep I'll try and sell :smiley:

    Heh - it's definitely great to have my cat back - even if she does eat me out of house and home! The guy who 'dumped' me is actually one of the nicest, sweetest people I've ever met and I hope to continue being his friend, I was just feeling sorry for myself I think!

    Rayday2 - yes, selling stuff for BR - the pans are great but at this moment in time I'd much rather I hadn't bought them of course...

    Hey those pans are pans for life! I spent about £50 on some a couple of years ago and with dishwasher and use I need new ones - not all quality items are a bad idea!

    I am sure you will in time come accross someone else who is even better, if things aren't meant to be - then they aren't! But the future always holds something else for us we just have to wait and see.

    Take some time and be kind to yourself, a little bit of feeling sorry is good esp if you have a medicinal choccy bar, PJ's and a fat cat!
