Default OMG! My Box has Packed Up!

What is a girl to do? My ONLY escape from emigrating has been tragically removed from my life! My digital television supa dupa box has packed up completely! Apparently its the power box, and Mark 'casually' mentioned it to me just now when I attempted to put it to watch teh re run of the x-factor!

I'll have to watch normal TV now! Eastenders, pat and Frank! Can life get any worst?

I have an ironing person to make sure mine doesn't do that as I'm only 152cm!!! Have resorted to watching old DVD's! TV in this country with a magic box is terrible! My sister has Sky+ and can't imagine life without it. And I thought I was sad!

Actually I used to love ironing till MIL broke her ankle and dumped a months worth of ironing on me. Including stuff she hadn't done before she broke her ankle.

And as for only being only 5ft 7ins stop moaning. you have no idea what it's like being as tall as a munchkin.

ah suzy I love being petite! Make the most of, in you're next life you could be like by brother (6ft 7) he hates it! He's restricted in the types of job he can apply for, can't find clothes (fashionable as he's only 19) and finds it difficult to get a girlfriend. Poor wee soul X

I worked out you're 5ft. Is that right? I am a bit taller than you. Being married to a bloke who is 6ft 2in doesn't help and having an 8 yr old daughter who's head is up to my boobs already is downright embarrasing.

I do have one friend who is shorter than me but if I go out with the others I have to wear heels so that I don't look totally stupid.

5ft 1 according to the dr at the medicals I wear heels occasionally, not much recently as I can't find my favourite heeled black boots (i think hubby's been wearing them again)!

My bro has size 15 feet and can't get decent trainers! I feel so sorry for him! BTW I'm watching Corrie can't believe I'll have no digi box until we leave this country. How will I cope?

Oh and there's a cobblers in London that will customise shoes if you're big footed, but it costs a fortune.
