Oh I love Prince , when I was younger I used to imagine he was singing to me ‘the most beautiful girl in the world’ (I must have had confidence then) It was on my Walkman though so luckily nobody else could hear it xx

I love that 😍- you'll get that confident women back! Maybe after the heartbreak playlist you'll need a happy/confident playlist 😄.

Ooh, thank you on the 20% off the Shay and Blue site. I'm torn on whether to get a 30ml or a tester set with a few! Lots of them sound lovely.

I'm a bit demotivated with work today 😣.

@Apolloneuro so sorry you've had an allergic reaction. Hope they can find a different antibiotic that will work for you.

Not bad news!
So I have just received an email from places for people to say I have been nominated for the house which I put for my 1st choice asking if I’m still interested so I thought I would give them a call. I spoke to the lady who had emailed me and she said I am the ‘only’ person being considered for the property and once I’ve sent my documents across they will arrange a viewing and aslong as I can pay 2 weeks rent up front they will give me the keys there and then! Oh I cannot believe it, I’m shaking!xx

This is fantastic news, I am so very happy for you. It’s almost as if that house was meant for you. Don’t forget you can get housing benefit and CT benefits. So you will likely be in for Christmas and be able to have your spoon Christmas tree 🎄

Thank you @AdmittowearingCrocs and you know what I really feel like it is meant for me I’ve just had a feeling since I applied . I’ve never felt that way about any of the properties before . What’s CT benefits? I did go on that entitled to website and it says I can get help towards my rent so I will apply for that once it’s definitely confirmed . Oh I can’t believe it, I can’t believe I might have a home for Christmas xx

Hi at @RaspberryBeretxx I’m definitely going to make a happy playlist once I’m in my new home. I’ve already had some fab suggestions to add to it. Thank you ❤️
Ive only tried the black tulip and English cherry blossom but I’m sure they are all lovely. Let me know what you go for.
If you ask me I think Tuesday is a pointless day , Monday is start of the week, Wednesday is middle of the week, Friday is the end of the week, Thursday is the ‘tomorrow is Friday’ end of the week so what’s Tuesday?It baffles me xx

nornironlady · 05/11/2024 14:54

Oh my god Laura I couldn't have put it better about Tuesday! I've always called it the 'nowhere' day. Monday the week is just getting going but on Tuesday it's nothing, by Wednesday you are on the way to the weekend again. Maybe this will change Tuesdays for you!

🤣 at Tuesday being pointless! You’re right - it’s a bit nothingy. They should just make it a 4 day week although then there’s no proper “middle day” so that’s a bit weird too!

shay blue are now following me round fb advertising 😂. There was one ad with clips from the Witcher for the Lilac and gooseberry fragrance. I loved that series! I think I need to go somewhere I can smell all of them!

CookiePookie · 05/11/2024 15:00

Oh this is just the BEST news for you! I am beyond excited for you and Spoony. Everything is coming together. What a wild difference from last week; I'm just delighted you may have a home for Christmas. I have an image in my mind of you stepping into a cosy home for that first look around. Beyond exciting! Huge hugs to you!

Thank you @RaspberryBeretxx it’s amazing news isn’t it. When I got the email I nearly jumped up but then realised I only had one working leg! My spoon is going to be so excited to not have to live in a suitcase anymore xx

😂😂😂😂your so right , it’s just a nothing day . Nothing happens on a Tuesday (well apart from the last two Tuesdays for me). People don’t even book Tuesdays off work. It’s such an underwhelming day that just eat offer 20% off on Tuesdays and boots has £10 Tuesday because everybody knows that it’s a bad day xx

Thank you @CookiePookie I can finally see light at the end of the tunnel! This time last week I was so upset and beat from everything and I couldn’t see a way out and now I may have a home, my support worker wants to come and see it with me and I think my mental health worker will want to aswell. I want all of you to come and see it with me lol 😂 xx

Apologies Laura, CT is council tax. If a person isn’t working and claiming benefits you can get council tax benefit. Do be aware that if anyone in the household is working and not studying you will only get a 25% reduction. Just a heads up for when your older children move in.

This is just the thread that keeps on giving isn’t it? 💕 it’s genuinely the most heartwarming thread I’ve ever read on here ❤️

Oh sorry @AdmittowearingCrocs I should have realised that’s what it meant . Thank you 🙏
My eldest son isn’t going to be living with me just my two youngest and my 17 year old is at college at the moment and hopefully by the time she finishes her course I will be back in work myself xx

Awww that is so lovely @Giraffe888 thank you so much. Everybody on here is so lovely aren’t they , I’ve met so many amazing people 🥰
It really is incredible news and has made the last 10 days of stress worth it . I can’t wait to have a house key and to cook proper food. I’m not going to tell my children until I know for sure I’ve got it xx
