So.. I don't getany money till friday and I am skint skint skint!!
BUT.. got an email that a £50 deposit for a car I hired had been returned to my credit card..
So off I rush to the supermarket to stock up.. stop in Boots (a chemists's) and pick up a nail hardener and read the label, wander off, look at a few other things and leave.. WITH THE NAIL HARDENER!! The alarms go off, I get taken to back room.. I didn't wnat to buy it, but they insist (and if I refuse to pay, it does look like I was trying to steal it).. so the last £5 in my purse pays for that.but no worries, I have £50 on credit card I can withdraw..
So I go over to ATM, put card in, type PIN etc.. choose £50.. card is returned, I take it and wander off.. WITHOUT THE MONEY!!!
I realise with in about 10 meters, rush back to find two teenage girls laughing at me and pocketing my £50..I feel so damned angry at myself and stupid.. so so so stupid.
I now have no money to buy food with this week.. I have reached my over draft limit and both credit cards are full.
I am SO stupid.
*sighing*

What b*tches. I can't believe they pocketed the money. That's inconceivable to me. Evil little twats.
So sorry Nik. What's left in your pantry? I'm sure I can come up with some creative delights for you to wallow (vomit) over. I'm adept in creating edible food from nothing. Completely know and sympathise with that feeling. And it's only 3 days til pay day!
BTW - you're not stupid, you just weren't concentrating. I've done it a million times. The other day, I bought a bottle of water in the city. Paid, remembered to pick up my book and my bag, walked to the other side of the food centre, sat down, opened my book, started reading, reached for my water, and it wasn't there. Search the bag, the floor, finally haul arse back to the place I bought it to see it still sitting on the counter where I left it. Luckily for me nobody had taken it, but one of the sales girls tried to make me pay for it again - until the original girl came out and pissed herself laughing at me and eventually told the other girl I was just a ditz. Everybody does it, you're definitely not stupid. I've eaten nothing but rice with chicken stock flavouring for two weeks. I've had a friend eat wheatbix and warm water for a week. Unfortunately it happens, and I'm so so sorry it's happening to you this week.
But tell me whatcha got and we'll see what we can come up with!

luckily there is stuff in the freezer.. so far I've managed to rustle up a chilli (loads of Quorn mince in freezer cos I stocked up on that last month when it was on special!).. last night was a frozen toad in the hole for J and some sweetcorn fingers for me with a jacket potato, and tonight its spaghetti bolognaise (with afore mentioned quorn mince!!)
the nail hardener seems to be working well though *laughing*
And I've managed to extend my credit card limit so I can buy some clothes for new job!! I was worrying about what to wear as I have 3 different outfits and THATS IT! And one is way to casual for work!!

If memory serves, there was a unanimous consensus that you are not, if fact, stupid, Young Lady!
We all make mistakes, and it has little to do with brainpower. So, stop saying that! (please)
Your dumb friend,
Shar (yeah, but I'm just kidding!)
