    Don`t beat yourself up re the lip fillers- the money was given with love and without restrictions.

    Your coat and boots sound beautiful...sometimes as new good donations are donated by the stores.

    Anyway enjoy yourself- you`ve worked so hard for them.

    If spending gift money on lip fillers helps you feel better after a shocking year, good for you!

    And so jealous about your charity shop find. Ours never have stuff like that in!

    Your priest encounter made me think of fleabag... at least you backed off lol

    Good on you for your nights out and your lip fillers! Why not? As long as you're happy with it. Worse still having it done and not liking it. It's not like you've got bailiffs turning up to see them :)

    Really hope you get your deposits back. And most of it too!

    Keep going - you're doing brilliantly! Xxx

    Sounds like you've been doing amazingly across the board. I'll bet £10ks worth of stock takes up quite a bit of room. Think of the space you'll get back once it's gone! Great to hear you sounding so resolute and strong xxx

    You're doing well Emma and it sounds as if you've made a good start on your new single journey.
    Your  ex is proving the adage that there,s no fool like and old fool.  Life will catch up with him.  Just be grateful that your ship has already sailed.  You sound in good shape considering  all that,s happened.

    So err, did you do a bit of a morning on your stock to see how much you have tied up there?

    Oh my life. Does he hear himself? What did your daughter say to that? I hope she is starting to see through him. I think a CSA case is a very good idea. Just wish you'd have done it sooner. 
    Saying that you're always off on hen dos and luxurious holidays.
    Great work on getting back on selling. 
    You sound much better xxx
