    And as for a coffee, completely! We're our own little SATC, although it's on a forum and not in random posh cafes. Would that make NIM Mr.Big?

    LOL, love that analogy!

    Although going by what we were saying about not liking Big before I don't think NIM would appreciate it!

    I always loved Charlotte! She was such a lovely 1950's girl! Love her hair too!

    Mr Big had a very nice nose! I can't put him as Aidan can I?

    It was a beak! We can create our 'alternate' ending SATC where Carrie isn't a cheating !!!!!bag and marries Aiden. The way it should be!

    I've got the long thick dark hair but it never looks elegant! I try, God knows I do but alas, no Charlotte locks! :rolleyes:

    Okay ladies, what should I do?

    MS was rearranged to tonight from Monday. Mum can't go. NIM is at work until 8.30, have to be at the place by 9pm. This leaves me 3 options.

    1. Cancel the shop
    2. Stay at work till 6, go to the gym 6.30-8.30, get NIM to pick me up on his way to the place, eat, get NIM to drop me back to the gym, drive home seperately (only thing putting me off is I haven't been home before 9pm all week and money making/relexing time would be useful)
    3. Go to the gym at 5, stay till 6.30, go home, spend a bit over an hour there, go to NIMs work, both go in one car to the place, pick up other car on the way back.

    Actually I think my decision is made for me reading that back, NIM wants to go, so that means 2 or 3, and 3 is a lot of faff for an hour at home, and at least 2 means I build up flexi....

    Yeah NIM is an Aidan, the good guy, the one who makes you smile and is handy and will do anything for you (why exactly do I have a wedding phobia with this man exactly?!). So I just have to be the reformed Carrie and we're sorted!

    As the other two options went completely over my head I'm going with number one! It's a lot of fuss and bother for an MS. Depending how much you get paid, it might not be worth the trouble.
