    Well done Amy, thats great :beer:

    I have a spare half hour, i may list a few bits on Amazon. Or i could go out and have a nice walk in the sun to the post office to post an amazon sale. I think the latter may win.

    Fingers crossed for you tubby. I'm half way through applying for this http://jobview.monster.co.uk/GetJob.aspx?JobID=72326738&aid=77490162-2668&WT.mc_n=MKT000350 but I need the contact details for one of my referees who isn't at work this week :mad:

    It's a shame about chessington Amy, maybe you could go on a date a bit after your birthday when the kitten doesn't need feeding so often? Hopefully it will be a nice sunny day for you on your birthday, maybe you can get someone to take you for lunch somewhere you can sit outside and enjoy the sun ;)

    I've just dyed my hair because it was a state, I'm not impressed with the colour even though I've used the same dye for years. Live keep toning down the colour, tisnt very red any more :(. Am going to have to spend more time and money re-doing it which is a bit annyoing beacuse I hate dying my hair and I always have to buy two packets because my hair is so long & thick. Am definately going to stick to dark brown from now on...

    Thanks Nicki. To be fair I think i will just stay at home and put that extra £50 to my debt. :rolleyes: Its all i seem to say at the moment. No one makes an effort for my birthday unless i organise it all etc. and to be honest im sick of doing it, so it will be me and the furries. :D They best get me something cool :rotfl:

    Oh blimey Tubby that sounds a bit scary and not a very good birthday at all. :eek:

    I dont mind birthdays, just hate the fact i make all the effort to go and see people and arrange dinners etc. No-one visits me or asks me out etc. Just annoying. I think i may get myself some pamper treatments and have a day in doing sausage all :D
