    Thanks, didn't actually have the wine, instead I emailed a man on match that I have had a little bit of contact with to see if can respark :p

    Kind of relieved the other guy ended it cos I spent a weekend being moody about him cos he paid no real interest apart from when I was with him (no texts unless i text first, no phone calls at all unless meeting me to arrange it about 10 mins before we met!) and a few other things annoyed me, just hate that I never have the guts to end things with guys even when its not right esp that he was on match still constantly and defo seeing at least one other person!

    Have no problem being single but when someone is around I put up with too much rubbish from some of them!. :o

    Hi Fabulous ones!! :wave:

    I've just spent the last 1hr 15mins catching up on the thread, what a laugh!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    The main reason I've been away is just that I was spending far too much time on here and staying up far too late (look at the time I am posting:() Was feeling a bit addicted so thought I'd steer clear for a bit. I did the same with my facebook addiction and it seemed to work. I was off there for 4 months, back on it now but don't spend alot of time on it atall.

    The past few weeks I have decluttered most of the house and it's a great feeling. I started going to bed early and waking before my alarm of a morning and that's another great feeling that I haven't had in a long time. Also with going to bed at a decent hour I feel more human (tomorrow I'll feel like a zombie again!) So as much as I've missed the company on here I have really enjoyed having a nice tidy house and a nice tidy bedroom that's a pleasure to sleep in :)

    Jeez I've been selfish really, but I'm back and now I've caught up I can still log on everyday but also fit in housework and early nights :beer: I've got it sussed!!

    I am well up for a meet _party__party_ Totally agree that Sarahb and Lula HAVE to be there! June is good for me, only have my Green Day gig planned and that's mid week. If anyone wants to chuck some dates about I can see if I'm off work or can get swaps. Also I would probably drive and if I did I could pick anyone up along the way (like Souk or any others from Scotland if they could get train to preston/lancaster). Also I think June is long enough away to lose some lbs, I'd be bringing fat pics along though so I could say 'look this was me 4 months ago, I'm now 2 stone lighter' :p...I wish!

    I'm gonna have to go and get my head down, need to be up in 4 hours :eek: Will post more tomorrow.

    Was so good to catch up, feel like I've really missed you all but I had to do it, the house was driving me insane (well not quite but there was too much moaning and not enough doing )

    :iloveyou: ALL !!!

    Ahhh I see. I thought it sounded like some kind of illness:rotfl:

    I've always thought Steria sounds like some sort of feminine hygiene product :o
    I still haven't had a driving lesson yet:o

    Driving is overrated :)

    aaargggh yes whenever I had to phone steria payroll I had to explain six times before the indian customer service could understand me.

    That's the ones: I e-mailed them with a query once and they replied by not answering my question and then saying "Your query has now been successfully resolved and this case is now closed" :mad:

    Yes my mx 5 has bilstein suspension hard ride but good motorway holding. crap with potholes though. I hope to get it changed at some point. Mine is an S Ltd:)

    That's a Japanese import then is it? My friend had a British Racing Green Eunos with tan leather which was an import, but I don't think it was a special edition, just a different spec cos it was from Japan.

    No its not :(

    Well I agree it's useful, but it's not much fun in most places these days cos of all the traffic .. when I walk to work it doesn't take much longer than driving some days!
    So where have you been Dan? what you been doing?
    xx

    Well I can't remember when I was last here properly, but I'm guessing it was October. So:

    November: Had laser eye surgery.

    December: My ex moved back to Cardiff; I moved out of the house we own together, and in with a friend. Had no internet access for a month.

    January: Got internet access but very limited. Went out socialising a lot, started playing football one night a week, and tried a climbing class. Want to do it again, and maybe rowing.

    February: Got proper internet access. Still catching up with e-mails (and MSE..!). Am helping my housemate sort out finances. Ex has agreed to buy me out of house; have started flat-hunting. More socialising .. maybe a bit too much in fact!

    March: Change is in the air for nice people like us on this thread. I can sense it :)

    So what did I miss here? Anyone buy any shoes? xx

    I don't like being busy at the time but afterwards its nice to think you haven't wasted any time and you ve had some fun

    Well I can read your messages, can't I? ;)

    Yep it worked really well, can see better than I could with glasses/contacts before, no problems, should have done it years ago. There was a £1,995 offer on at the time; I must spend that much on glasses and contact lenses every ten years or so, and I'm paying for the laser surgery on 0% credit over 3 years so it's not even something you have to save up a wodge of money for.
    sounds good(says the woman who hates exercise:rotfl:)


    I do too really, hence not joining a gym like everyone I know seemed to do last month. I think that would be boring, but if you're doing an activity that's fun you don't notice that it's helping you keep fit, and you get to meet new people too which is a bonus.
    :p 3 pairs actually! and you aren't seeing any of them huff! :rotfl:

    Why? Are they kinky?

    Walking is good, it burns off calories :) xx
