    You never know who you might meet if you go out, maybe even Mr Right :).
  • @Frog- go out! You'll enjoy it when you get there! I'mterrible for not wanting to go but having a fab time when i get there- parties, dinners, meetings- pretty much moan about everything before it happens!:o
    @aNGLEA- glad it went well- I AM DESPERATE to know more....but a lady never tells i know:p
    Today is my birthday and i'm off to dinner with the parentals as it's dad's birthday tomorrow and we always just go to the one dinner. He's moaning about how late it is- we are booked for 8.30 cos he said he wanted it that late but is moaning that he's hungry!
    Don't know if FWB likes amaretto- but i've never had any. Might take some round to his next time- what brand is nice?
    Been feeling very funnt this last week. But hopefully i'll be better this week only got a 2 day work week then off until 4th woohoo:T

    Happy Birthday Ziggles :bdaycake:

    Hope you have a lovely meal

    What questions do you have for me? I might answer them :).

    Grrr, everytime we are about to go out the door, DS starts a phone call. That's why I'm back here again. We're supposed to be going to the pub.

    Evening ladies,

    Well - sorry i've been quiet recently.

    Been fairly busy - been one of those periods of time, where you think you've been doing a lot but really you've achieved jack jones.

    All is not well in the NGlady DEman camp unfortunatly, found out hes got an awful lot of debt and he is potentially going to loose his apartment (he apartment shares) and go back home. And a lot of other cra*s been going off and i just dont know anymore. but enough about that!

    Anglea - I love Bristol!!!! I went to the shopping centre there, is it circus cahoot, the one thats outside?

    And anyway - what else happened ;) its rude to ask a lady so were ok to ask you ;) giggle!

    Hi NG- nice to see you back on here. Pity about what's going on though but i'm sure you come out on the other side ok.
    Thanks for asking the question- now please answer Anglea- even in the vaguest terms- but so as we'll get the answer though...;-)

    p.s. just back form dinner- FWB stayed in town in his shop tonight after his work party and called me to say he wished i was there- at the end of the convo (i didn't invite hi to pop by at dinner- with the parentals obviously...)he said- 'love ya'!!!!!!!" like OMG, !!!!!!??? I know he was a bit pished but OMG!

    Hi all

    I did go to the gig tonight.

    I met these two young guys in Turkey last year in May in my favourite bar - realised they were English and began talking to them. They had just arrived and they were staying at my hotel so my friend and I befriended them. I left two days later but kept in touch by facebook.

    When I there in July last year, their parents were holidaying there so I made friends with them also.

    Both are musicians, and one of them was performing with his band tonight in my home town. And the other one previously turned up to perform at one of my open mic nights!

    When the father knew his son was performing here he asked me where the venue was, and it is ten minutes from my house. So it was meant to be that I went, and it was fabulous.

    I bought an amaretto and had one for the first time - that too was fabulous.

    Hi girls

    I am a bit tipsy.. We went to the pub, the new owner was chatting to me a lot .We stayed to about 11pm then had more drinks at home.

    Nglady, sorry to hear the news. Glad to see you back here, don't be a stranger.

    Ziggles, that was nice of FWB

    FR glad you had a good time, Turkey seems to be a sign for you doesn't it? I also had amaretto tonight :) Also tried a pimms with Dr Pepper, ok for a few sips then didn't like it.

    As to the question I think you're asking - ;)

    Do you drink your amaretto neat? I was asked if I wanted anything with it and I said no, as I had no idea what would go with it anyway. But it was lovely the way it was. I only had the one, it was £3.45 - no idea if this is the usual price of it when out

    I drank it at home FR - I had one neat and one with Dr Pepper which DS was having. Not bad. Then I had a pimms with Dr Pepper - yuk. In the pub I had ciders.

    One of the pubs I go to have Amaretto with Tia Maria but I keep forgetting to try one. That costs 2 pounds..

    They must make a lot of profit from Amaretto where I went then.

    I am still waiting to hear from Bym. I wish I didn't worry about it, when he was here it was so nice - but when I don't hear from him all my usual fears return. it shouldn't be like this.
