    Hiya all, I've just done a long post and it lost it, am so annoyed, but i'll try to remember what i typed, Buffy how was Leeds I don't go drinking there anymore cos I think it's full of idiots, and makeup i was going to buy this charming man today, wish i had now.
    I had a fantastic friday night, went out with a friend from work, we had a laugh, and went to meet my friends after for a lock in at our local, i was talking to this lad who i've known for years, he was talking to someone else who i didn't know, and he just mentioned that he'd only found out a couple of months back that i was single, he said he aways thought i had someone at home who helped me be this amazing person he thought i was, this other lad said your never single, i said course i am not met mr right yet, he said but your so confident and gorgeous i assumed you had a boyfriend as well.
    And it's all down to you lot that i got this praise cos i've been doing more pampering stuff, and reading the posts on here sure makes me feel i'm not alone, so thanks, i'll stop my head swelling now, i didn't get any numbers but i didn't want them to be honest.

    Navy and white in all likeliness. I don't need to wear a suit or dress smart for work. In fact, I leave my suit in work and change into it when I have a meeting :D but I want something that looks reasonably good when wearing jeans and a polo shirt this summer.

    hmmmmm you care about how you look ... we like, you stay :D

    How about red ? I'm currently toying with the idea of a pair of red shoes, but wonder whether they're perhaps a tad slutty :confused: What's the male perspective on this ?

    on another note :

    ladies, I get one free message to each member on the site, how very unhelpful :rolleyes:

    I think this whole episode brings us back to the beginning of the circle. It's easier to shift debts when single ... but harder to meet new people when in debt :o

    hey ho :D

    I don't think that sounds slutty. If you like them, that's the important thing. My friends have all sorts of shoes, and the only ones I disapprove of is one who has outrageously big heels. Far bigger than anyone else, and she looks like she is always going to topple over. That's my big issue with them. I say go for the red ones if you want them, and enjoy them when you're wearing them, when you take them out the box for the first time, when you look at them etc. Watch out of the "There's no place like home" comments though :D

    Its easier for women to shift debt when in a relationship than for men though - we're busy taking you girls out for dinner, drinks, suprises etc and so use up our money a lot quicker.

    ok, thanks for the shoe advice.

    As to women clearing debt more quickly in relationship ... pah :p half of my debt was incurred while in a previous relationship :rolleyes: & he's on facebook & has searched all my friends & realtions on there trying to locate me :mad: so not really an option unfortunately.

    You'll always meet wrong 'uns though to be fair, its just that there seem to be a higher proportion of wrong 'un men. My debt is from something similar - where I bought a flat with an ex and ended up screwed over because of her deviousness.

    I'm recording Top Gear, so no coming on here blurting out who The Stig is :D

    Sometimes it's hard to walk in a single woman's shoes - that's why we need really special ones!

    Anyone still up?

    Just had the weirdest / craziest / scariest thing just happen to me.

    I got woken up by people talking outside my window.

    To cut a long story short, I called the Police and they came out and confirmed the people were men they were searching for in connection with a crime.

    This has really freaked me out!

    makeup, hope you are Ok now? Sounds scary :eek:
