    Looks very nice. I was wondering what that area of the world would be like to live in. Especially round Belize.

    Are there jobs going there? Big change but you could always come back - looks fab.

    "Jobs"? :eek:

    I'm thinking more of living the life of early retirement in a country with very low cost of living. Though I suppose what I do needn't be done in close proximity to where it needs to be done.

    Nah, actually he's thinking his team doesn't practise enough and that's why they're "pish".

    Thanks, I'm fine just a bit flat. Got lots done and went to gym yesterday which helped a bit.

    Had been chatting to ex via email but he suddenly seems to have decided not to answer - maybe for the best...

    It might well be, but that does imply that if they practised more, they'd be good. He may have disappointment ahead of him...

    They would be better... he does have a point - rather than 20min lectures in the freezing cold a bit of practise might help...

    On how badly they played blah, blah, blah, but he's removing the opportunity to actually play and get better.

    Four days off, at home getting boiler in - not much of a holiday. And that was four weeks ago!

    I'm quite proud - actually achieved everything on my to-do list this weekend and then some! Flat (and me) much more organised now and feeling much more positive, work's been getting me down lately but I don't have that feeling of dread this evening...not saying I'm looking forward to it mind :D

    Oh yeah? Is this someone who likes the sound of their own voice?

    "You're crap, you're all crap, crapper than crap. You're so crap they name crap after you.

    And after my fine motivational speech, I will proceed to deliver another one.

    You're crap, you're all crap, crapper..."

    Of course you're now going to tell me it's worse than that... :eek:

    Yes, but what do you miss? Is it the DIY skills? Is it the adult company? Is it the cross-dressing? (Only kidding... ;))

    You can't just chill at the gym - you gotta sweat!
