    I had a sore foot yesterday - put it down to the ridulously high but v pretty shoes I was wearing on Friday night but took sock off last night and realised it was bruised and swollen with a stilleto shaped graze! I do remember someone standing on it but it didn't hurt that much at the time, could have been the numbing effect of the wine:o...
    Will have a wee run today but just see how it goes, walked miles in Glasgow yesterday so don't think it's too serious but will walk if the running hurts.

    Oh dear. He certainly doesn't appreciate the finer things in life.

    You've already identified the root cause of that problem: He's a knob. It was not due to a lack of babe-ness on your part, as other non-knob people where only too eager to recognise.

    Did that bloke recognise you with your clothes on?

    Ahhh turns out he wasn't there! Saw him at gym on friday and had a chat, I said "see you later I suppose", he asked if I was out in town we live in that night and obviously I had to explain what I meant :o, he wasn't invited and a wee bit hacked off...
    I thought the chatting had been a wee icebreaker so it wasn't too awkward that night but no... oops!

    And lashings of gossip and scandal! ;)

    There was some but mostly avoiding her son! I'd missed a night out on the friday so there was some gossip from that, all very amusing:D.

    Avoid her son? Did she not want to see him, or did she not want him to see her?

    Involving! No she's not avoiding him and I've no idea why I typed that:rotfl::rotfl:

    Managed a five mile run with no problems, rather breezy down the beach but the sun was out and I saw a gorgeous afghan hound and a lovely retriever enjoying splashing about:D.

    This afternoon has been mainly household chores but DS is off school for a week now and his uniform is all clean and ironed in his wardrobe so hopefully I'll not have as much to do next week. Only 11p found on DS's room floor - he must be learning!

    He's done unreasonable things in the past which you forgave. What makes you think the muppetry has suddenly reversed? It hasn't...

    Now, now - there's plenty of good blokes out there. Nice, good-looking, rich - pick any two...

    Pretty to watch, but a lot of work afterwards. Like women really... :p

    So does this go in your budget as "The Spice Tax"? ;)

    No was just a wee bit more thorough as the hoover was getting turned on! He knows the rules - any money left on floor is MINE!!!! if I have to move it to hoover I feel it's only fair, interestingly enough there's never anything bigger than a 20p...

    I shall be taking him out somewhere nice for lunch tomorrow so that can be his contribution to the £20 bill:rotfl::rotfl:!

    If you'd done this, said that, that that would have been it until the next time, then you'd would have had to have said this, done that.

    How many times did you think you could keep rolling a 6? Unfortunately, if the communication between you isn't adequate (and it's a two way thing) then it does boil down to luck.

    Like an unreliable car, it's best to get rid and find a better one.

    Anything bigger than a 20p will make a noise when it drops out of his trousers when he takes them off. If you want to get rich, get a deep-pile carpet for his room. Something you could drop a skip on and not hear...
