    Yeah I can just see the conversation with OH now... "I'm going to Reading to get drunk and stay with a load of girls I met from the internet..."

    That's really making me giggle, quietly as my boss is in!

    I might have to not mention that one bloke will be there, unless I say your gay lol!

    You still gotta come, it won't be the same without you!

    My OH has been known to check my Facebook account and messages!

    Like I'd be stupid enough to leave anything on there if I was up to anything (which I'm not by the way!)

  • Goodness, I go away for the weekend and then the thread takes off!

    I will have to bow out I'm afraid (if I was even invited! :p) - I'm just too far away from you all :(

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:I think how you present this one is key...most definitely not like THAT!

    My OH will prob just say 'yes honey' without looking up from the computer and then start wondering what's for dinner :rotfl:

    The first time I went to Africa he did worry. We'd only been together six weeks or so and then I disappeared for five weeks. He got a bit upset when pictures appeared of me on FB partying and with guys with their arm around me (and girls I might add!) since then he's realised it's not like that at all and doesn't worry at all anything I do at all, think he now trusts me. Or else now knows that no-one else is nutty enough to want to be with me anyway! :rotfl:

    wow, I go away for the weekend and there's pages and pages to catch up on!

    Good shopping Jody :) sometimes it's just necessary to spend a bit on looking like an acceptable human being! It sounds like you needed a bit of a splurge.

    I threw away about 2/3 of my clothes when we moved, they were all tatty/unflattering/unfashionable etc, and I feel so much better being able to see what's in my drawers etc, even though I technically have less to choose from, I feel like I have more clothes. Have been getting some new bits and pieces too though - I love Jasper Conran jeans from debenhams (but they're normally about £40 :eek:). My pair that I got at christmas wore through in the leg and ripped last week (after 9 months of nearly constant wear!) Managed to get 2 pairs on Ebay this week for £25 including delivery, so I now have 2 pairs that I'm happy to wear out, and I know they wash and wear well, and I've managed to use only survey/reward money to get them. I think I'm going to look at clothes on eBay more often now, this is the first thing I've bought from there.

    I'm also fairly close to reading/guilford if I'm invited to the meet up....
