    sounds nice, I am to much of a wimp for things like that!

    I know and the funny thing is I should be settle, if things had played out how they were heading when I left uni, I should have been married 4 years this year and would probably have started a family.

    But that wasn't to be, so onwards and upwards, there are just better things out there for us!

    I love tattoos... :p Im not sure how im going to cope with the 4 1/2 hours its going to take tho :eek:

    Yeah... im not really into getting married etc. I just thought i would have somewhere i could call home (my flat is council and i feel chavvy at times :rotfl:) and i thought i would be in a stable job (i am but i only started in March :rolleyes: )... i dont know really, just thought i would feel happier.

    :confused:

    But like you say, onwards and upwards. :D

    I'm not into marriage either now!

    But I would like to be successful etc, I have a good job, but I want more from life than what I have now.

    Hi Amy - happy birthday for yesterday, the tattoo sounds really nice! Know the feeling too about not being where you expected to be.. but I guess it makes life interesting! ;)

    Thank you for the birthday wishes :j

    Its a very odd feeling, im not sure if i should be upset or happy or what :rotfl:

    I never had a plan really. I have never been career orientated or anything like that, but thats probably because i didnt really look to the future. Now im thinking about paying off debts, getting a mortgage, a decent job that I enjoy will be a necessity.

    :hello:

    Well im very close to sleeping at my desk! I got into work at 7.45am this morning (which is no mean feat considering it takes me around 1 1/2 hours to get in!). Anyway, i have done lots of work today, and am near enough finished, which is great.

    I havent even had a chance to open my spreadsheet thingy for my money :rotfl:

    I have also just written a 3 page complaint letter to O2 as it has taken nearly 3 weeks to sort out my upgrade phone :rolleyes: Fingers crossed they take notice.

    Back to the grindstone i guess.

    :hello:

    Soooooooooooooooo tired today, i feel like i have 2 black eyes! :rolleyes: Nevermind, it was mentioned by my boss again today that I was early and that he really thinks thats great... we shall see if i get a raise then :rotfl:

    I am a bit annoyed with myself this month. I havent been able to pay off much extra on my credit card as I am spending £280 on a tattoo :eek: It was money that I made selling my phone and its a birthday pressie to myself, but im still annoyed that my debt total isnt going down by much this month. I guess i cant win. :rolleyes: However im sticking to getting the tattoo, and will still be interest paying debt free by end of September, so thats not too long (2 1/2 months is nowt!).

    I need to go food shopping tonight/tomorrow but really cant muster up the energy. I have food in, just need bread, milk, eggs and some chicken for the cats so i may do it tomorrow instead.

    I have been looking at houses for sale this lunch time (damn Your Move email subscription :p ) and the one that I *heart* is still for sale... Do we think it will still be for sale in 2010 at say £20,000 less than it is now? :rotfl: I can dream!!!

    I booked some holiday from work yesterday, 1 day for my tattoo, and 3 days off over a weekend when my mum comes over. :D

    Not much planned for the weekend, possibly going to the cinema with some free tickets from Diet Coke :j

    Anyhooo thats about it really
