Right opinions please.
It has been suggested that I go on these dating websites.
Not very keen TBH as have heard lots of horror stories.
Right, Do any DFWers have any nice friends that we can set beanie up with?

If you are tempted, give it a try...most will charge you to message other people but Plenty of Fish is a big one, and you can use it completely free.
You do get a LOT of idiots messaging you, but if you are willing to grit your teeth and just delete them without getting annoyed/upset/frustrated, then you have nothing to lose really.
I never go out anywhere that I'm likely to meet single men, so internet dating is a good way for me to get talking to people, but it is fair to say I have had a few ups and downs.
Few simple rules:
Chat online for a bit first
Then chat on the phone
Only if it feels completely comfortable, arrange to meet for coffee somewhere public, and have somewhere you need to be afterwards, so you have an excuse to leave after an hour
Have a friend on hand to ring and say there's been an emergency if you need to escape
ALWAYS make sure SOMEONE knows where you are and who with
If it feels wrong, leave. A few hurt feelings are worth it for your own safety"I wasn't wrong, I just wasn't right enough.":smileyhea97800072589250 -
Beanie, that's awful, sounds a nightmare.
BB, how long does it take things to get moving through Quidco? I joined in November, and I've got £45 tracked but only about £2 received. I know some of it wont go through for ages, like the hotels I've booked, but some stuff I received the orders ages ago.Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.0 -
Beanie, a free site is Plenty of Fish, if you want to make a profile and have a look.Cats don't have owners - they have staff!!

Be careful...that's all you can do.

Evening All
BB your day looking at car sounds very similar to mine..except my !!!!!! OH didn't pipe up. Drove to bath to see this car, got there OH started it up, I took it for test drive, OH commented its got a lot of miles (which it has but all the cars ive seen in our price range are around 80k on the clock) drove lovely, needs a new exhaust which they are going to do but lovely all the same. Asked few questions, tried to get some road tax thrown in but knew the car was already cheap but he agreed to fix exhaust, change oil and put new filter in which seemed a good compromise.
OH then said oh and the seat belts in the back when I put it on were mouldy...why didn't he mention it, then he pipes up about it being diesel which I corrected him and said no petrol and he went mad saying why were we buying a car with that many miles on if it's petrol....and which point sat in a cafe on the way home I said very loudly "if he didn't want to buy the car then he could get off his arrse and look for one and find something better" No words have been exchanged since...!!!!!!. This car will be in my name I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And breakaway. I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway ....
