    Anne,

  • Reverbe - you know what is best for you. If it all suits you then knickers to anyone else.

    I hope that wasn't aimed at me. icon9.gif

    Of course it is your choice Reverbe. I hope you know that anyone who has asked any questions has only done so out of concern. Good luck to you and your OH and I hope you see him/her soon. xxx


    What wonderful news Pippa!!! :beer: :j :T Many, many congratulations to you all.

    Hope you are ok Lesley. xxx

    Steak pie is assembled, fire is lit and house is tidy. Another lazy evening planned and I think I'll take my book to the bath for an hour as my back is strained from the gardening this afternoon. I will never learn. :D
    Life is too short to waste a minute of it complaining about bad luck. Find joy in the simple things, show your love for those around you and be grateful for all that you have. :)

    Pippa S - what lovely news! I am so pleased for you. :j:j:j

    Reverbe - you know what is best for you. If it all suits you then knickers to anyone else. I know that doesn't make things always easy, however, so hugs.
    However for all those who think that they could never find anyone else, here is a linky http://www.amazon.co.uk/Game-Neil-Strauss/dp/184767237X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1236358148&sr=1-1 to The Game by Neil Strauss. You can always find someone else.

    .

    I saw this man on tv once - he is incredibly sexist and treats women like objects. :mad: I don't agree with you about always finding someone else. My best mate used to say that there is someone for everyone but she was beautiful and intelligent and warm and funny and everything and by her own admission has never had any trouble attracting men or women. (She's bi)She never could understand me on this. I am someone who has never once been approached when out in a bar etc.

    No - absolutely not. It was obvious from your post that you care, and it is important that Reverbe knows that she is part of a BIG gossiping, old styling, hugging, hinting group. You just wanted to show support to someone, and that you cared. I am right behind you on that :T:T:T

    :o Just trying to fly the flag for a way of looking at the world that is different from what most people understand is 'normal'. Not against anyone, just for Reverbe.

    Little bear is still asleep, but I have not got much more done than sort out a present from little bear to my brother. Better get the chilli started.

    Personally I loathe this book but I honestly believe that there are always choices. However you know your own situation and what works for you. I believe that there is always someone out there, but I also believe even more strongly that each person knows what is best for them.

    Really, just want to say hugs and hope all works out for you. Also, the book was if anyone was interested, as it looked like you knew what you were happy with.

    I am really really sorry if I have upset you in any way.

    """They are here. Luckily OH took them to Kenilworth castle on the way back from the airport so they were shattered when they got back. I got in at 8pm, cooked dinner and they left. OH's mum is ill, so we gave her some random Chinease herbal placebo from the first aid kit and it cured her in 20 minutes (whilst probably preventing hairloss and inconitenace as well). :rolleyes: """

    I copied and pasted this as it made me :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: but dopey me forgot who sent it:o sorry, I am still chuckling now ;)

    OH said he needs food so I suppose I had better get rootling around in the freezer for something that can be done in the Mike....still not got the element for the cooker, had more important things going on today :D

    back later

    1) CONGRATULATIONS to PippaS and her DS2 and DIL. Brilliant news.:j

    2) I've finished my cushion covers!!!! First ever foray into home furnishings, and I'm pleased with the result. Sorry - had to tell someone. I'll shut up and sit in a corner now.:D
