    (That smilie is supposed to be people hugging right? It looks quite crude! LOL)

    Thanks 115k :-) Trust Dear Lurky to be the first one to say put your mouse over it! I posted the same icon a while ago when our numbers were down, on the list its says its a group hug. (Which was what I was trying to portray, not a: 3some). :rotfl:So thankyou and I hope you have a good weekend, take care, hugs. xxxxxx

    Happy Shopper have a lovely birthday weekend, not sure which day it is. So here's a birthday cake :bdaycake: I hope you gets lots of lovely pressies, so heres to being 21 again :beer:. Lots of love and good wishes. xxxxxxxx

    Fay don't let an argument with your oh spoil your good intentions, be extra determined because you are doing this for YOU. Big hugs and take care. xxxxxxx

    Off to eat my bird seed now, take care everyone and see you all later.
    :T Well done to everyone.

    I thought perhaps it was that mischeavous Mr Lurkio changing it from group hug to threesome somehow...Wouldn't put it past him.

    Personally though 115K, I don't mind which one you give ;)

    Love your list fay, well done for being honest, sometimes the reasons are personal and hard to write down & let others see.

    The line above is sooooo true, also anti depressants, I find, do the same thing. Right now I have such a clear mind and it is great, I am ready to tackle my stuff head on. Also, healthy eating & exercise DOOOOO make a big difference, I almost feel like a new person.

    And I am sure my ex will be pleased, as it means no more stalker ms_london hehe! :rotfl: :rotfl:

    What are everyones plans for the weekend?

    xx
