    :eek: Have just realised I had garlic at lunch today...

    And I've no hot water for a bath...

    And my dress isn't clean so I need to wash it tonight...

    And I've no heating so will struggle to get it dry...

    Right...plan...

    Have shower tonight (electric shower thank goodness).

    Wash dress and hang it up to dry in my bedroom - leave heater on all night so it's dry by tomorrow.

    Tie hair up for work tomorrow so I don't need to straighten it twice.

    Have another shower when I get home from work tomorrow, shave legs etc, and hope I no longer smell of garlic! Use deep conditioner so hair doesn't go frizzy from being washed 3 times in 2 days. Straighten hair.

    Arrgghhhh....hate not having hot water and heating!

    He's very nice based on first impressions. He looks a bit like the guy that won the Joseph thing a few years ago and his messages are funny and quirky, but not in an 'I'm trying too hard to be funny and quirky' way.

    He lives in York, which is a bit of a distance from me, but I quite like the fact that he isn't right on the doorstep.

    I haven't actually found any negatives yet... :rotfl:

    I am far too much of a coward to try internet dating :o
    I'm in two minds about it.

    It hasn't been hugely successful for me in terms of finding a relationship. However, I have been on quite a few dates over the last year or so, and I doubt I would have been on very many at all if I had just relied on getting to know people in real life.

    There has only been one person that I've met that I really liked, but he turned out to be an idiot (only took me 8 months to realise and kick the cowardly little prat into touch...).

    There have been a few that I've liked but 'not in that way', two of which are good friends now.

    There have only been two absolute weirdos, one of which I had to run out on mid-date. :o

    So I guess that's not too bad a result. If you wanted to give it a go though, I would definitely try something like Plenty of Fish first, as it's free, and I don't honestly think the one I paid to join is any better.

    That's him! I couldn't remember what he was called.

    This guy isn't identical to him, but has the nice eyes and the curly hair. :)

    Thanks for the advice :A

    Firends have had mixed experiences - including one who is now married and expecting :)

    And I know what you mean about how hard it is to meet anybody in 'real life' :(

    Don't think I've actually seen it all the way through :eek:
    It is my all time favourite movie - closely followed by Pretty Woman.

    My Oh took me to a special screening of Sound of Music for my birthday a couple of years ago. I don't think he'd seen it all the way through before then :D

    I'm a bit of a West End geek, tbh. :D *random name-dropping fact* I actually went to primary school with Ben Ellis, one of the other guys off Joseph. He left the show pretty earlier on but went on to be in Hairspray. My one claim to fame. :rotfl:
