    gem, I noticed your absence too, hows uni now? do you have a holiday? hows work? :rotfl: @ young once thats sooo true.

    I love the penguin too :) Uni is a distant memory :rotfl:We are off for a month, then back for three weeks then I'm done for the year! Full-time students, yeah right ;) Got a heck of a lot to catch up and then actually do before that though - hence the disappearing. I've had to change my router so I can only get online Friday PM and Sunday PM at the moment :o I have no self control...I could get a 1st in BA Procrastination :rolleyes:

    Work is the same, dull as. Yours? Still waiting to hear about the other job, really worried and deflated about it now since the end of the month is Monday :(

  • barnaby ~ I guess you are right there is nowhere that seems to be a middle ground. As you say growing up with money issues hasnt helped me now. I guess only I can find the balance thats right for me, its no good me following someone else rules as they wont work. It will take time but I am thinking up a plan between now and pay day so we shall see. I will sort out a balance, not everyone will agree its the right thing but if it works for me thats all that matters, thanks for all your help.

    ~ It was really sunny yesterday morning untill I was about to walk out the door, and it bucketed down, then it completely stopped ~ very strange. Liking in a triabl village, ummmm sound cool unsure if I will last long though :rotfl: thanks :A

    taka ~ awww... but no one will change you how you are. Thats what makes you, you and we all luv ya :D

    Sarah ~ thanks I have asked rog but if need be I will ask on the techie board, as isom says they are usually helpful.

    Bunny ~
    wave.gif I do, I have a bit of a carrier bag phobia. I will only use them in my bedroom bin and thats only if I have ran out of my bin liners. My problem is I havent found a small enough cotton one that can fit in my bag yet, so everytime I go shopping I buy a new 'bag for life' I have a stack of the things now :rolleyes: I shall pm you but I must pay for it!

    gem ~ Woo hoo holidays. Booo you still have work to do, hop it doesnt take long. Is the router thing what you have done to avoid temptation? You are braver than me :rotfl: Is it your final year next year? Enjoy your holiday. Yeah dull as usuall, ah well. Aww i do hope they get back to you, never give up hope hun...

    isom ~ Hi hun, didnt post last night as I was just so tired. Did a 9 close on thurs and usually we have the following day off, not moi I was back in for a late (7pm) yesterday and I was hanging. Then 'we' had to go shopping and then my bro wanted shopping so we had to take him home too (he walks to/from work to home but he cant with bag fulls of shopping) so didnt get in till like 9.30pm :rolleyes: I was online really late though but I was atempting to type and it wasnt working so I gave up and went to bed. Postman woke me up with sea cj :j however I have had to hide it because I am determind to finish this order today more cutting than anything, hope my trimmer holds out :rotfl: If I finish this order buy 9pm tonight I have promised myself a new ipod cover for $9 but its imported from the states so I have been putting it off and off but if I finish this order I can replace my worn out cover :j Have today and tommorow off so quite happy, back to it monday however. :o will email you later ~ take care :A
  • Hiya hun, glad ur sounding a little happier..... whatever works for u is what u need to do, like u said, no point following others rules if they aren't gonna work!

    Take care of urself tho!

    Hello pap

    I think everyone as a little "blip" every once in a while, it's not as if you're getting yourself into any debt, it's your cash to do what you like, you deserve to treat yourself every once in a while, what woman our age doesn't eh rolleyes.gif:D.

    xx
  • Sarah, exactly. I am perkier today, still not 100% but getting there :D

    babes, :rotfl: very true, us girls love having fun! Yes at least its not debt (ie someone elses money) so I dont feel that guilty. Thanks.

    Well challenge complete :j so I shall order my ipod skin in a min :T Did have a fright however. We went shopping this afternoon and went to see my bother. Anywyas cribbs retail park was packed and as we were queueing to enter it someone was playing road rage behind us. Anyways to cut a story short this man bumped another man to get him out the way and ended up hitting mums car. The cars fine, we were both shook up a bit but we were fine. the problem is teh first car drove away up the pavement no less to beat the traffic :rolleyes:. Luckaly a passerby and another driver managed to get the mans plate no and the middle man (the one who hit my mum) appologised and will obvioulsy sort out his car/other man. It wasnt his fault and there was no damage to mums car so we are fine :)

    now of to do clean my room :D
