    ooooh, I've just seen a man without his trousers on!! :rotfl:

    the lady over the road must be having a halloween party as I've just looked up and there are loads of cars outside her house and there are 3 big silhouette witch type things in the window.

    The front bedroom light was on and although there are nets, there was a guy taking his trousers off and then folding them up!! It's a bungalow like me, but I'm higher up on this side and 'look down' on the houses opposite.

    Sigh........that's made my night - about as much excitement as I'm going to get bloke wise!

    :rotfl:

    Good luck with the decision on the job, can't really add any more to what's already been said!

    Attempting to use up a free bonus on Sky Bingo here but the window with the game in keeps disappearing before it loads up :mad::confused:

    it is cold Jen, I reckon that will keep a few off the streets. I've not had any yet. I usually get around 4 groups, usually 7 or 8 year olds with Mums etc. Had 1 group of lads that looked around 14 last year but they were dressed up and were polite, although it did rattle me a bit.

    They'd better come round - I've been wrapping up walnuts and sweets in little foil parcels- it's the stuff I don't eat that's been cluttering up the cupboard - I want rid!! :rotfl:

  • completely different tack now.

    I have been trying to study with the oU for ever - but never managed it due to me, well half of it is me not being bothered and then there was a lot of family stuff to deal with too.

    I never studied law - which I wanted to do cos - and here is the irony it was too expensive. of course all the money spent on failed courses well lets not go there.

    I keep thinking about it tho. it always pops in to my head. it still fascinates me.
    trouble is I am not sure if I am too old or if I would be able to do it brain wise. It was all I wanted to do when I was younger, teaching was an accident = a good accident it turns out but I do n't want to do it for ever.

    I looked at law courses last year, but chickened out. and ended up doing a course I didn't enjoy.

    there is just too much in my head.
