Ooo exciting Amy. How will you keep still for 4 hours? lol. I'd love to get a tattoo on my foot, have you got one of your foot? if so does it hurt?

I have no idea! :rotfl: I havent got one on my foot yet, I am getting my cats' paw prints there next year. I would think it wil hurt as its on mainly bone

moneymabel

dont know hwether you want to hear this but my friend has one on her foot, she also has a child, and says that the tattoo was more painful than the childbirth! She has loads of other tattoos and they were fine but the foot one was a killer!

I think i'll pass then lol. I can't stand pain, i'm such a wimp.

The cat paws sounds like a brilliant tattoo Amy.

I got it a bit wrong...that was the number of scientists... over 900 people work there in total. I had a look at the jobs I could do (i.e. ones that don't need science degrees) and I either didn't have the experience or they weren't well paid enough to offset the cost of the train (same problem with imperial war museum), but I'll definately keep checking back.

Can I join the tattoo wanting club? I'm probably going to have to take out at least two piercings when I get a job so I want to replace them with something I can hide if need be.

Thanks Hayley. Im getting some poster paint and im going to (attempt) to get them to tread on some paper... i havent mustered up the courgae or energy to attempt this yet though :rotfl:

moneymabel

LOL- you will have to video that attempt!!
Just been working out my finances for next 4 paydays. I get approx £545 a month, £445 of that will be going on bills/ debt payments, as long as I get my £100 Quidco payment I will be debt free on last day of October ( payday)
Should be able to live on £100 a month reasonably easily apart from next month as I've already signed up for approx £30 worth of scrapbooking clubs at work, that still leaves me £70, not exactly hardship.
When I am debtfree my bills ( Inc payment to oh for my share of council tax/food /electric ) will be £175!!! Bit better!
Will stop putting back a tenner a month for car tax and just pay 12months in one go, same with car insurance, no more interest payments for paying monthly.
hmmm its all coming together at last I think!

A friend of a friend has cat paws on the boobs, that looks pretty good. Something to think about Amy? lol.

Just back from my 2hrs driving, and i can happily say i feel a lot better today, than i did this time yesterday. I felt there was no way at all i'd pass on Thursday, now i feel if i stay calm, and don't stress when going up and hill, i will be fine. Roll on tomorrow. I just want it out the way now, pass or no pass. My OH will be treating me to something in Italy if i pass, if i don't i guess the most i will get is an Ice Cream. Na, he's a great partner, normally always pays for our meals out, even when i offer to pay. He wanted to take me out tonight, but thought that probably isn't a good idea, i'd be sitting there all night worry about tomorrow, not very good company when out for a meal.

hi all i am feeling very low today. dd told me something this morning which is going to cause a battle over contact with her dad i have a very stressful time ahead. was feeling tearful then i checked back on wellers post from last night and her husband andy died last night to shed load of tears reading the coments. made me pround to be huggy!!!

thepinklady

Totally agree Jen. It was very sad to hear about her husband passing away. It just makes you wake up really, and realise the things some of us moan about are quite trivial. Live everyday like its your last!!!! I'd like to think tomorrow wouldn't be my last at 23, but you never know these days :-(

My thoughts are with Weller and her family x

:hello:

Awww Jen, hope you feel better soon. xx Sorry to hear of the problems with DD's dad.

Hayley - im glad you feel better about tomorrow. I recommend a nice relaxing evening in front of the box, chill out, earlish night. :beer:

I have just battled my way through 6 months of Petty Cash receipts :eek: Never again I tell you! :rotfl: I am comandering the tin and will be doing it monthly from now on.
