Actually, after my recent fishing experiences I'm not so sure :rolleyes: Since removing my pic I've not had a single new message - just shows how shallow some guys really are.
Oh well, I dont care, I'm in the mind set of looking slim & fab just for me now. There is one guy who has been fairly persistent & the only thing wrong with him is that he has one of those 'testimonials' from another fish user which just makes me suspicious. To be honest I really dont have time to be getting all optimistic, hopeful & excited for the next few weeks anyway.
A friend who's a veteran of these dating sites reckons the best way is to plan your useage like a military assualt. Know your profile & requirements, never fear to be brutally honest about what you do & dont want, get some fab but honest pics done & be in & out within a month. Never spend longer than that on any one site as people just get bored. However, she also reckons you should meet up with everyone that isnt an obvious creep as that's positive thinking & could lead to other opportunities.
I should have stuck to my plan of [STRIKE]launching my personal assualt [/STRIKE]starting in September :doh:
Need to get some beauty sleep now
so night all

Hello,am here :hello: Have been lurking, have not posted as I have lost my mojo
(whatever the hell that is
) I am fine, just a bit sick of the same old, same old. I strongly suspect my hormones are on the attack, damn them.:mad:
I have been investigating the job I was interested in and it seems it won't leave me that much better off, but I am still interested in it as it will be less stress and also am investigating other possible options as I don't want to just keep doing the same old thing. I need a change, but one that doesn't add any stress and brings in more money. Now I have it in my head that something is going to change, I can't allow it not to.
I think I have just finally got very sick indeed of having a job with such a variable income, it makes planning ahead very difficult, I know I can only work with what I have but I do need to keep one eye on the future and I want my own house before I am 40. But I don't want to change jobs entirely as the pay is good, just erratic.
I am just bored, I want everything now:o Can't help feeling meeting someone with a house would sort everything, which I know I shouldn't do but I do.:o Then I think having to admit to having no savings despite good job is just so embarrassing.Can't even say where it's all gone. :oOther times I think, sod it, I will be fine by myself, which I will, I just want my own house to put all my stuff in and call my own, that would be a huge step for me.

Hi Sarah - good to have you back :A
You have my sympathy - I know you sometimes read my diary so you probably know I've not exactly been in a 'good place' myself the last few days
No advice really, only you can decide what's most important for you but I am looking forward to the new plan, you always inspire me :A

Hey everyone & glad that you'e still lurking sarah :A
Sorry about the mojo loss & hope it's temporary, I'm flying high at the moment but bound to crash any week now :rolleyes:
I had to pop in now just to share this little gem with you all :
I've just had call from Mr. Artist (Formerly known as Posh Town) :eek:
It was a bit bizarre considering I'd left him a polite but firm message saying 'thanks' for dinner :rolleyes: but no further action required.
We had a very normal conversation about my floorboards & he reminded me of the tips he'd given me & then dropped the bombshell ... "so, when are we going to meet then?" !!!!!!
I did counter with "again ?" but there was only the slightest hesitation before he told me how much he enjoyed cooking :rotfl:& had made a fab meal on sunday for friends.
I honestly think he has absolutely no recollection of that evening, which would be slightly insulting under normal circumstances as I like to think I'm fairly memorable although I do admit to having been in & out of there within an hour
Either that or he's just decided to bluff it out as though nothing unusual happened. Either way I am amused & I really think he's only harmful to himself so having told him that I'm busy until September I may well keep in touch for entertaiment value. I think he's a nice guy but completely & utterly out of touch with reality :rolleyes: Having actually met him & had all hopes of being swept away dashed I think I could be occasionally friendly with an eccentric artist type
Right, back to work now

Can't believe the cheek!
Although would imagine lack of recollection of 'fab meal' with you was probably more to do with the speed drinking session of wine that he indulged in than anything else....
So ridiculous that he is claiming to be a great cook..as far as I'm aware, cooking involves a touch more than heading out to Sainsburys for a ready meal and then getting someone else to put in oven?????I've got my own flat :j:j
Now I have to pay the bills :eek:

Hello All
I've got to get this off my chest although I know it makes me sound like a really bad person.
One of my best friends is pregnant, she just had her 12 week scan today and is of course delighted and very excited.
It was definitely on the cards, they've been married for 3 yrs now and I know she's been thinking of trying etc.
However, delighted as I am for her, I'm just quite sad at the loss of our friendship.
I normally see her once a week or so, we meet up after work for a bite or visit theatre /cinema.
Obviously this will all change once Baby arrives. She lives quite far from me (about 1 hr 15 - 1 hr 30 mins away) so we're not likely to catch up during the week and I don't know how often I'll end up seeing her.
And from previous experience of friends with kids I know things aren't going to be the same........ I saw a friend a few weeks ago and her eldest daughter is 3 and she is so demanding, not in a bad way but I did end up playing all manner of games with her which was fun but really I was there to catch up with my friend and it is hard to do this with the kids around.
I know, I know how awful I sound. I feel really bad about it as really I don't mind kids. I'm such a selfish person!
Oh dear, I hope you are all having a good day and have got some good sstuff going on.I've got my own flat :j:j
Now I have to pay the bills :eek:
