  • I am so excited I am literally bouncing off the walls today. My most favouritist band EVER, like EVER, are coming to the UK and I have just bought tickets. I have been a fan for years and cannot believe I am finally getting the chance to see them. I know totally unbudgeted for but there is no way this opportunity was passing me by.

    Worst weather here, wind sounds like its going to blow the roof off!! Already demolished my fence! Blizzards make visability impossible. Am going out on the streets tonight too to hand stuff out to the homeless and am dreading it but then feel awful cause they have to put up with this all the time and I am worried about an hour.

    Sorry, ur having problems with N power - I love them. They work out cheapest for me, their bills are clear and have never had issue with them.

    (oh and how impossible is it to find a decent hair website to get ideas from!!! i've been looking for days!)

    Yep they are all really weird way out hairstyles....makes me laugh like any normal person would have such a cut and be able to continue to do every day things like housework, running into the supermarket. One puff of wind and you would look a mess!

    morning everyone.

    Well January was a fairly expensive for me! guess all this money watching left me with the urge to spend (and I did). The good news is that it all was cash so I haven't added to my debt. Bad news is I don't have much of a money cushion in case things go financially awry.

    I've been off work since Wednesday - bad D&V (TMI ALERT - passing blood). Can't go more than 50 minutes without stomach cramps (about 20-30 minutes during the day). Wayne asked last night if I could be in labour - said I'd have to be pregnant before I get to labour stage! Cheeky git said that it's surprising that I don't look like I've lost that much weight - just look like death warmed up. Got on the scales and I've lost 4lb but that'll go on again when I can start eating normally:(. I'm almost at the stage of thinking of taking up smoking again cos I was in a healthier state when I smoked! So far this year I've had a kidney infection then this!

    IA - I missed K's birthday. I can't believe she's one already! Hope she had a wonderful day.

    Keren - hopefully you'll get the perfect job soon.

    Lauradora - hope the npower situation gets sorted out soon. I had a run in with them years ago when Wayne's old house had tennants [from hell] who ran up a massive bill and then scarpered. First calls to Npower were with obnoxious gits who could only say "you owe us over £500; when are you going to pay? You can pay by credit or debit card..."). Decent human being was happy to recieve a copy of the tennancy agreement as proof that the tennants were responsible for paying up. After that we sold the house and decided that we'd leave being landlords to the local council!

    ttfn,
