    Thanks Hypno.
    I will take all your good advise on board.
    Just had the father of twin 1/s baby's girlfriend on the phone giving us grief about a DNA test now. So here I go again with that lot. !! Its becuase she had to name him on the Income Support Claim. What next I ask myself. They said baby should have been born in September. She was born 4th October, she was late. So now they dont believe its his!! Unless it was an immaculate conception then? Why cant teenagers keep thier sex safe!! Surely there is enough information out there for them!!! Hostels, they do not support and help they just throw the vunerable together!! Then phone up the parents and send them home when the going gets tough!!
    Sorry I am a bit annoyed now.
    Gosh we are in the middle of a heavy wind and rain storm down here. Got to walk the dog yet too.....Yuck.

    Think I need a beer.:beer:
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    but then trying to feel sexy and good in a £2 tshirt might just be too big a leap of the imagination we'll see lol

    Hey Gorgeous, its not what the T shirt looks like, but what the person wearing the T shirt *thinks* they look like that makes the difference.

    Re Primark, if you can get to one, I got the most beautiful red and black lace basque and matching knickers for £8.!!! Went down a storm Christmas day, (wonder if thats why I got the boyfriend back??)
    I am the opposite to you, I have put on a stone and a half over the last year. I was a size 8 when I moved to Oxford in June 06, now I am a size 12 and will have to think about new clothes as the 8s wont fit, and the 10s are getting tight.
    Have you thought about buying in a Charity shop? Thats what I did. Work for a charity shop, till all this with the kids. If you get to know the staff, they get to know your style etc, some will (Like I did) put stuff by for you and let you see it when you come in. Prices can be variable but most have good deals.

    I used to be OK, but the last few years drained any confidence I had.

    I might have to take your advice and pretend :o

    spud30, if you currently dont have the confidence, then you must take things one step at a time, and build that confidence up? I dont know you at the moment, but I know how easy it is to slide down into your boots, and a lot harder to stand tall in those stillettos so to speak. But somewhere there is always someone that can help you boost your confidence and show you the way.
    You have lost a lot of weight, you have already faced big hurdles, that brilliant. you must give yourself a pat on the back. Your dealing with your debts. You must believe in yourself, and you will learn how to be the sexy person you are inside, on the outside.

    Talking of clothes, Peacocks are also good. got baby again got togo again...
