    well 2010 has started off a bit complicated for me!

    i got a text form dd's dad late last night staying he loves me so i texted back that he doesn't and ended up arguing with him when i should have siad whatever and left it but i didn't! I left him and he has always wanted to give it another go but i don't love him. I wish i had just text back happy new year to you too instead.

    Then a chap that i went out a few times last year ws online so i was chatting to him and now i am going out with him on a date. we are just not right for each other which is why it didn't work last year! Oh well i guess i can somehow back track out of that one???

    How we all feeling now it is 2010?
