  • looks lovely and posh DD! I really want a phone with decent internet access but I don't fancy paying £150 - £200 for a sim free one, or signing up for a contract phone. I only spend about £5 a month - maximum - on my PAYG phone. It's got a basic camera which does for quick snaps but the WAP access is rubbish.

    Is that a euphemism, Maz? :)

    DD - Lots of people have said things today in a much better way that I ever could. It does take time to build up a new circle of friends, but you will do it.

    Hello everyone,
    Congrats Cat, loved the pic.
    DD, I think the trick is to keep going - sometimes people seem a bit cliquey at these things but they may just be shy. Most of my friends have been around from years ago but one of my best mates is the mum of one of DS's nursery pals, we said didn't say much more than hello for a couple of years though!

    Awwww Cat, I am genuinely sooo happy for you!! :T :T I've had a busy day so haven't been online much, but have been thinking about you and wondering if all was well.

    DD, I know exactly how you feel - it's so hard to get to know people I think. I'm very shy (not when I've had a few, I know :p), and find it so difficult to just make conversation, that's if I have the guts to speak to someone in th first place.

    But I have made such good friends on here, many of whom are now real life friends too. I hope you can make it to a meet soon, it would be lovely to meet you.

    By the way, I've managed to get a sitter for the 17th, just need to get the 18th off work now and I'll be a definite....woo woo!!! :D

    BB I just got a Nokia 6120 in pink...it was on offer from Tesco direct and cost £48 - it is supposed to be one of the best for internet access has a great camera a built in organiser and can be synced with your pc. It has been great so far. The only downside is that it is locked to Tesco mobile but I have swapped my number over. I am a devoted orange fan normally.

  • I hide a lot of things well BB.

    It's both a curse and a talent...wouldn't have been able to get thru this year if I couldn't hide my 'real' feelings...
