    Am so with you on that :o :rotfl:

    Me too, seem to do okay for a short while, then have splurges with all three. :mad: How do people manage to eat a sensible diet, only spend what they have and enjoy a glass of wine occasionally (sp) without feeling the need to get drunk? How do these perfect people do it? :confused: It must be nice to be thin and not poor.

    Hello everyone! Thought I'd pop in and say hi as I'm always lurking but never posting! Glad to see spirits are back up again !!! Gwen I am so gutted for you but glad you're feeling better already. Don't forget it's normal to be upset when things come to an end, especially when it's not your choice.
    I agree with the others that if you couldn't be yourself around him then it's not a total loss as you're now free to find someone who you can be yourself around!

    I'd like to post some more but I am sooooooooooo tired ! I shall be back tomorrow, fully refreshed :)

    Good night all :0)

    Thanks sweetie :A,

    I'm basing this new (life)style philosophy on your previous statement that you buy shoes because they never make you look fat :T:D


    Possibly the wisest & most inspirational words ever uttered :j

    * heads off to practice hoovering from a great height *



    Hey Bowski :wave:hope the car is soon all yours :)
