    I am thinking of you today, Calley. No need to post but if you read this know that I am hoping that you are ok.

    WaS,

    Thank you. I am ok just disappointed at myself for getting caught out again. We chatted via text and he said it was nothing to do with me and it was him. As still got a broken heart. I am fab and wonderful etc. Still does not make me feel any better about myself.

    Looks like my washing machine is shagged :( oh well not sure what to do about it. Not sure what is wrong so can't fix it and its owes me nothing really as had it so long and put up with everything that I have thrown at it.

    It just the money that is a issue. I know I won the money but doing my best not to touch it.

    Glad to hear WaSP is on the mend. And you are starting to feel a bit better as well.

    Yours

    Calley

  • That is a completely valid meal choice tea, and one I had myself a few weeks ago. A whole tub of cookie dough ice cream and I loved every minute.

    Hope you had fun, ono! Sound's like hard work.

    Big hugs, Calley. Don't be disappointed in yourself, there is nothing wrong with risking caring for someone. It is a very brave and selfless thing to do. Sorry about the washing machine, are then any local trades people that could take a look? Sometimes they are cheaper than more official sources.

    This afternoon I have been doing all sorts of displacement activities in order to avoid hoovering, which is one of my least favourite jobs. Although to be fair, all cleaning ranks in my least favourite jobs.

    I'd say hoovering is my favourite cleaning job to do, then again I am one of those weird people who like cleaning lol! It's ironing I hate!

    Sorry to hear about millefleur's cat WaS :( Glad to hear that WaSp is on the mend though. Am glad that we're getting hot weather again as I love it, but hope it bypasses your corner of the country WaS and that you don't suffer too much.

    I know you'd like to save the money Calley, but if needs must? You can get a decent machine for under £200 now. Or, if you have a BHF electrical shop near you, they often have some good deals.

    Tub of icecream? Oh I couldn't, I'd be sick. Family size bag if crisps though, that would do lol! I'm much more savoury than sweet! :D

    Been having a Prison Break binge today, love that show. :)
  • Oooh, Prison Break Georgie! My american friend has been watching that on Netflix. Yesterday she told me in floods of tears that it is the best show ever but she simultaneously hates it because a Very Bad Thing happened. She won't tell me what it was because she says it will upset me but something happened to a character that totally devastated her. Be warned! :rotfl:

  • I've watched it before WaS, so I know what she means! It's coming back for a new series though, and so is the character she's talking about! :j

    Cookie dough dinner it is then. I'm watching sport so that must wipe out at least half the calories.

    Gitdog is allowed to be excited at a new place! How old is he now? Physically that is, I am aware that mentally he is an eternal puppy.

    The standard response is old enough to know better. As far as I know, probably 6 ish. The consensus at dog training is that he's either wired wrong or there's a cog missing somewhere. Sounds about right.

    Calley, I know it's no consolation but it does sound more like just wrong timing than anything to do with you. Be kind to yourself.

    Did I miss lodger leaving, or is he in the process?

    Then I must have wiped out hundreds of them by watching althletics earlier on....yes, I like that theory! :D

    I know but it seems to be every time. I just keep getting hurt by it all. And just believe there is something serious wrong with me.

    No, this is an extra one. I have found someone who is down here for work and been living in a B & B for months, he is engineer. So think I will be able to get a sensible conversation out of him!!! Rather than woe is me all the time.C

    Yes I know glutton for punishment :rotfl:
