    Blondie - I'm sorry you had an argument with Sparky :( I hope you can sort something out. With or without him, I hope you do what makes you happy :kisses3:. I do the whole strangers' imaginary life story thing too! Not quite as detailed, but it's fascinating to do :rotfl:

    Rosered - Thank you, it's sort of a Dutch version of my real name :) And you're right, 8 degrees - about normal here in Teesside too :eek: LOVE the troll shed story! :rotfl:

    Laura - OMG :eek: What are you still doing with that guy !! Sorry, shouldn't say that, each relationship is different. I would feel awful if my OH just disappeared for a week though...

    :rotfl: not so bad as all that. He WAS visiting his mum and dads so I know exactly where he was and what he was up to (ie eating their food, using their electricity and gas and hanging around their hose!) he just thought that because he wasn't doing anything exciting he didn't need to keep in touch! Duh! He knows better now. :D

    Morning all - Rosered you are becoming a bit of a guru in the relationship world! PLEASE write a book - I love the troll shed:rotfl:

    Blondie - just wanted to send you a hug (I cannot bring myself to use the dodgy icon for this!) and a :j from my corner of the world. I will offer no advice re Sparky, as I feel Rosered has it covered brilliantly. My OH and middle rugrat are lost to the world when they are on the PS2 - although sometimes its kind of handy;) . As we are a one television family (no TVs in bedrooms - I barely see the rugrats as it is) their time is very limited on it anyway. ESPECIALLY as I make everyone indulge me in my (bordering on unhealthy) obsession with Deal or No Deal. I can't help it - I LOVE IT.

    (On that note I don't know why I laughed when you about the 'hotness' of Martin Lewis - there's something strangely attractive about Noel Edmonds dressed as a hippie... I do worry about myself sometimes.
    Onward and upward - with the odd step to the side

    :rotfl: Oh no, now you are scaring me!!! Do you mean 'life or no life'??? :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Hey everyone, all going well in camp? I paid off the capital one!!!! :j sold my beloved MGF at the weekend and paid £650 off capital one to clear it, doing £200 on barlcaycard today and then thats just £207 left and the credit cards are gone. Then will be focussing on the cahoot loan and ford HP. My first direct loan i cannot pay extra off which is poo!:mad:

    My OH should have ended up in the troll shed at the weekend. We all went out having a great time and when we got back he got in a mood- was so drunk and went off into the night walkabout- i was soooo worried so me and his best mate walked for over 2 hours until 4.30 am to find him, thinking he could fall in the canel or something. Anyway no luck went home for a coffee before heading back out- OH passed out in the dining room snoring like a wild boar :mad: :mad: :mad: But all is forgiven now after a big apology! He's a very good egg 99.9% of the time. Well because i was so tired after trekking all over the county i didn't do a roast yesterday which means i have to do one today after work- so we'll be eating that late!!!
    Be your own superhero :j

    I know! I used to crack up laughing at it (especially when the group would all hold hands and start chanting 'blue blue blue') - but it sucked me in.

    Shoe Gal - OMG so do I !!! :eek:

    Laura - Sorry, missunderstood the situation :o . I think one of the hardest things to get used to with men, is that they don't MEAN to do a lot of these things, they just don't realise they're important, that they'll upset us. And it's relatively easy to understand this, but terribly hard to come to terms with.

  • Hi Blondie,

    Just been reading through your diary- LOVE IT!!

    Ok, so I have a few blonde highlights so I'm hoping this qualifies me for jumping on the Blondie bus!!

    I think Deal or no deal got a bit too wierd for me when they had that whole love necklace thing on there! I'm not so convinced by it anymore!

    Totally agree about Jeremy Kyle- I think it's the whole strong masterful thing (or is that just me?!)

    Have you made up with Sparky yet? Hope everythings ok xxx
