    Cynical? You? Never!

    Well done on being debt free Skint, you must be very chuffed, what do you have planned to celebrate??

    I'm off to the gym soon, I signed up yesterday so I'm forcing myself to go for my first session before I start making excuses! Also my friend from England is arriving tomorrow and she is a personal trainer/swim instructor and will beast me if I don't go!

    I'm also in the market for a new pair of shoes... running shoes this time. I bought a pair more than 6 months ago which I thought would be ok and they simply aren't. I know exactly which pair I want but I have to save up the $70 for them first :(

    Does distance really matter though? My last serious ex decided she wanted to teach in Spain for a year, so we did long distance to Villarreal for a while. Just meant I had to get up early on a Friday for work so I could leave early to catch the evening flight to Valencia. You can get around everything if its about love.


    Errr yes distance matters when you're skint & in debt :rolleyes:. Catch a flight to Spain :eek:

    I'm not on the hunt for a relationship, I'm just looking to meet new peeps in my local area for friendship, hanging out & having fun as many friends have either moved away or got settled & very very boring :rolleyes:

    It's not about love - that's a highly overrated state of mind which usually leads to complete loss of common sense & financial disaster .... hence my presence here :rolleyes:

    Happy sunday everyone :D

    I'm just chilling, had a couple of mates round, sold them some duty-free smokes and caught up. One of them is a virgin and has started seeing this girl so needed some advice on how to tell her etc etc. Somehow I've ended up chatting to her on FB and I'm working really hard not to flirt and to put in good words about Luke lol.

    Hi All!
    Hope you're ok and recovering from any hangovers- Feefee, Buffy and Shoegal lol!:cool:
    I have a hayfever hangover from staying up most of the night sneezing, rubbing eyes and itching like crazy...luckily i made it through without tearing hair out as i was pleesantly distracted by text chatting with guy i'm still to meet up with for a drink.:p He's sooo lovely:rolleyes:
    Oh yes and to any of you who gave advice about my communal shopping issues- result- i just said i'm not going to pay for any items that are not to be shared. And guess what...the world didn't end there was no nastiness and the beat goes on...:T
    So thank you very much all!
    Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven
