    Whats to be nervous about Spud?

    She looks really gorgeous and glam in her pics, and I'm......not. Sat here getting dead upset. Wish I'd actually stuck to one of my many diets :(

    Sorry Pap :o

    What do you use mint for anyway except tea anyway :D

    Honestly? I have no idea... :rotfl:

    I use it fresh in cocktails through the summer. I had to dig the plant up because it was going a bit crazy, so I froze some thinking it would be a good idea... :confused:

    I do put it in raita type dips, with grated cucumber and chillies. But again, would generally use fresh stuff for that.

    So what her pics could be wrong anyway - might be 5 years old!

    And anyway when you knew each other before, what was it you liked about her? The way she looked or the person she was? Bet it was the latter...same goes for her I'll bet :D

    Spud hun, she might be slim, but that doesn't make you any less nicer, interesting, fun, gorgeous

    So what you haven't stuck to the diet, you are you and she wants to see you whether you are a size 8, 10, 12, etc

    I can't find any relevant account on Northern Rock's website but for HSBC, I'm guessing you're talking about the Basic Bank Account. I can't seem to find anything on the website confirming what you said though. There's just the option to order a brochure. Could you maybe point me in the direction of a link, if that's ok? It's not that I don't trust you, I just want to see it in their writing before I believe it.

    And do you think she'll be bothered by you being different to her?

    We are all different. Well, except those of us born in Clone City and Stepford...
