Single and in debt.

Was back home over the past few days catching up with friends and a pre-christening bash was made all the more confusing by a friend from Uuni who turned up with her new boyfriend when the last time I'd seen her she was in the same place with her husband about a year ago. Apparently they're in the process of the divorce and she has thrown herself into relationship number two with this new chappy and his two children.
I liked the, "So are you seeing anyone, BGB?" "Errrr, no.................not for the week relationship I had when I was at Uni.....................yes that was 11 years ago................" (That was my cue to leave!)
Funny how seem people seem to find relationships so easy isn't it?!Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!0 -

Anyways, if you did go I hope it went ok. And no doubt you'll be having a lovely time now snuggled up with SC
Gosh this thread moves fast! Didn't realise I had taken so long to reply to this! I didnt go to diet class as I opted to meet SC from work
I do agree with you though, I am the one who usually faces the consequences ... *remembers back to time when gained weight 5 weeks in a row!*

Glad to see you are feeling a bit better hun. Having another person in your life can indeed be stressful, especially when you are use to only having to accommodate yourself with life and decisions etc!! So your first line really struck a cord with me!
Welcome to any new peeps that have joined since I last posted, you are now part of a fantastic thread with a top hostess! :beer:
Camp Ossireo is a bit upside down at the moment. Spending a lot of time with SC, but I think we are both nervous that something is going to go wrong, spoke to him a bit about it last night and it was a little reassuring to know that under it all he has the same insecurities as me and is worried that I am going to change my mind again and leave!
:rolleyes:
Picked up the couple of little gifts I am getting this year online, so feel a bit better that I have got that done. Still trying to sort out my nPower payments, so my CCCS review is on hold till that gets finalised :mad:
Other then that, still waiting to hear about the job and still trying hard to decide on renting my old house off my ex-DH, its been unlived in for over a year so needs a lot of work but I could then have a very low rent in return. However there is the dilemma of location etc to work out as its further out from town (but about same distance to new job if I get it!) and also how to fit in my Grans Welsh Dresser (as its a modern build house so not really roomy). I don't know about anyone else, but I tend to be thinking about all the possible outcomes when making any sort of decision, even the tiny ones :rolleyes:

Hi all, welcome to all the newbies!:wave: SmileyG you made me laugh with your responses post:D
Am having a lazy weekend, have almost all my shopping done for Chrismas, just need two more things and I'm finished, shall have to try to get the cards written and the wrapping done this week, I hate that bit! Might do it with a glass of wine and some festive tunes playing to lift the mood.
Well, I have decided that following the party which I got all worked up about I must start being more sociable. Everybody talked about work all night and it was hugely dull, but it made me realise that I am fine at these sort of things as long as I know a couple of people, I just worry about being sat by myself like a lemon:eek: or being boring, but it usually turns out alright in the end. So in 2009 I will make more effort and go out more, not especially to meet someone, just to have more going on really. I don't really know anyone my age who is single, everyone is younger or in couples so might have to start going to things by myself, so I will investigate some evening classes or a gym:eek: or something or other.
Hope everyone is well, Ossireo, it sounds like a good plan re ex DH's house, the low rent should make life easier even if transport is a bit of a bind, sounds like it would be very handy if you get the job as well.
Bowski, have you decided what to do about the car yet?
TDQO, definitely talk to her, like you say it will be nice just to make a friend even if nothing happens.
SuSu, let us know how your date went!
eco, nice to hear someone describing being single as lucky!
Michelle, glad you are feeling better and looking forward to Christmas again.
Pink Twirl, hope you are having a better week, it's horrible when you are feeling down but come and chat, it's what we are here for!
Bathgate, you are right, I can't believe how some people just seem to find relationships so easy and jump from one to the next without any problems
Lilly, hope you're feeling better, don't worry re the texting, I've done that too, nothing to beat yourself up about, onwards and upwards!
Skint Spice, did you get the dress?
fiestaman, TDQO and SmileyG, it's great to have more some male posters, SBC was having to deal with all the questions about men, cars, shoes etc, singlehandedly!

Hi SarahB
Some of us blokes can be funny sometimes without being crass!
(Actually I think you know that).
Pleased that the social evening passed off without too much embarrassment. I'm not sure it always happens the way you fear it will.
I notice you wrote about being more sociable. I'm not sure that's an issue. Being more SOCIAL might be more accurate. I know its hard on a budget, but be inventive. There are loads of clubs and societies out there that are begging for people to participate in loads of ways, and it won't cost a fortune.Target acheived: _party_ Mortgage offset in June 2012!_party_Mortgage = -£98Endowment = £0Investments = £40,247[STRIKE]Deficit[/STRIKE] / Surplus = £40,149(at 22/09/2017)"Don't spend then save, save then spend!"0 -
I'm tempted to leave these boards now, I've had someone abusing me all day (same person, 2 different threads).
I'm close to snapping and I don't need this.0 -

Hiya Pink Twirl.
Deep breath, just read some of the stuff on the other threads. Don't need that, it's not what we're here for.

Oh, this girl (I presume) on another board posted a really sarcastic post back basically insinuating I was an idiot. I posted back to her basically don't be so rude, and also PM'd her saying the same and will she please stop.
This lead to a tirade of abuse from her, including her calling me a cow. She's now posted on the house buying thread that I should "crawl under a rock".
I shouldn't let idiots like that get to me. Someone on that board has put her in her place anyway. She just nasty, that's all, usually shows some sort of insecurity in someone when they feel the need to be like that.
All the time I've got about £21K lurking at the back of my head, don't need it!
Anyway, now I've vented that, hoping to find out what everyone else is up to.
Yeah, why is it that people can go from relationship from relationship?0 -
