    For scaredy

    Shah of Persia - about 400 metres at max. from the college, literally down a hill outside the hotel.

    Fleetwater Guest House - about 50 metres further away (you'll walk past the Shah to get to the college)

    http://www.fleetwaterguesthouse.co.uk/

    Danecourt Lodge - about 100 metres away, the space between Danecourt Rd and North Road is the college and there's an entrance on Danecourt Rd.

    Blue Shutters - about 2 min walk from the college at the other end of the road

    I don't know how good any are, but there aren't many b+b's in Poole and these have been around for years so if they weren't any good, they would have closed.

    All within spitting distance of my old house and about 2 minutes through an alleyway into the back of the college - I'm sure Charlie would share his sofa with you at my ex's place :D

    thanks BB, i'll probably be looking at places all evening!!

    Snaggs - Great news on your ex, is he looking to move with her or is it a new, new thing?

    Very new thing, they went out for the first time on Sunday and are going out again on Saturday. He seems happy though. :)

    The house is a reposession, so is on the market very cheaply, and they can't take it off the market until exchange, so there is a chance he could pay out valuation fees and some solicitors costs, then end up losing it if someone puts in a higher offer...which means I need to get my backside into gear and get my mortgage through FAST, so he can have his money and exchange quickly, if his offer is accepted.

    It would be perfect though - on the road that intersects mine, so Ryan could pop over there without supervision, 3 beds, small front garden and large, enclosed rear garden. Needs some work, but it would be fab. Fingers crossed!

    They are the nearest scaredy. After that you would be down on the Quay which is about 2 miles away although there is also a Holiday Express in town next to the bus station. There are lots of buses and it takes about 5 minutes maximum to the college.

    I've just been trying on all the bras that Snags made me buy :D

    The beautiful Cadbury purple one (I thought of Spud when I saw it - definitely a Spud colour :D ) was too small :( however I do seem to have kept quite a few of them :o Oh well, 3 of my bras only have 1 wire in so I think I was due some :rotfl:

    My bra fitting criteria is

    1 - I can get it done up
    2- it keeps everything shoved in
    3- I can wear it for at least 3 minutes before I start fiddling with the wire digging in under my arm :rotfl:

    It's a place just off north Road, Park Place?
