    Sorry was off having tea!

    You're not an old dear - you're a lovely intelligent yummy mummy in her early 30s with experience ;)

    I was going to make a rude joke about riding but wont!

    Its not that he wants to be saddled but relishes the opportunity to share some parts of your new wonderful life :j

    I do think way too much I know especially at the moment. I just see myself as an old, single parent with a load of hassles lol.

    Find me someone without a hassle in the world and I'll find you a bored individual :D

    Glad to see that your move is going ahead soon and hope you're having fun being in the world of dating again. Your new friend sounds keen? I totally agree with ShelleyC - women in their 30s have got it pretty good - none of that young adult stuff to worry about that affects them in their 20s, but still hot ;) Apologies for the generalisations, I'm sure nobody will be offended.
