Getting rid of my HUGE pile of clothes that were meant for eBay..... the dark bit is that a friend of a friend's house burned down while they were on hols and left them with literally nothing
so thats where the clothes have gone.

AFter been quoted £1000 to have our fencing replaced my hubby DIY'ed the full fence using recycled wood. It took hours of graft and toil and it only cost us £129 in the end...so I am thrilled to bits.0

I am loving this thread so much. What is a good thing that happened to me today. Well after a horrendous couple of months. I'm unemployed, in soaring debt and getting tubbier by the day. I lost my purse the other day with my last £100 pounds in it. I was so gutted, all bank cards and library cards etc. Anyway some times you just think could it actually get any worse.............................. but this is the thing. I have never ever been happier. Woke up in the arms of my BF this morning, he was holding me so tightly I could hardly breath, I tried to struggle for a little space. He pulled me tighter and say "You are my absolute whole world, and I'm going to marry your !!!". I have not stopped smiling.
Which is mental as things have got so bad I'm going to have to move home with my parents for a few months.........................................................
But waking up like that just means that poet was right, can't remember his name and not 100% sure of the quote but I think its "although we are lying in the gutter, some of us are looking at the stars".
So Love is what happened to me today, and big bear hugs on a rainy, wet, cold morning. And the smell of someone who loves you breathing on your neck in the morning. Why is it that morning breath is horrible, but if its from someone you love its just like roses.
Ah I'm so happy I could just float.......... Have to go upstairs and pack my room up but I could care less. I'm broke, I'm unemployed and I'm chunky but I am so blissfully in love........................................:j :j :j :j
