    I think I will mention I have bought tickets but he didn't tell me to buy tickets whereas he has told me to buy rail tickets to Carlisle!

    And this is the new bloke in your life? Do tell...

    Carlisle? I thought you needed a Tardis to get there?. No, hang on... Cardiff...

    Think I need sleep. ;)

    (Carlisle is over there *points*. West of here and probably up a bit. See?)

    No, no, no Miggy, it's down there and East a bit.... :D

    Freeeeeeeeeeeedommmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Today's the day the lodger [STRIKE]moves out [/STRIKE] is moving out as I type.

    Yes, I did offer to help but he refused so I'm staying out the way. It's been very amicable, he's left freeview and the microwave and I gave him my bike (which he has also been renting out for the last 4.5 year).

    You RENTED him your bicycle????? RENTED? Aaaaaargh, it's true about you Scotch people!

    No, REALLY happy for you and unexpectedly excited at the news. I feel I've shared every terrible moment with you these past few years.

    And a spare room to do dat thing you do in!!!


    My day just improved immeasurably.

    You must be feeling better Mike. The stock images are coming out.:D

    This is NOT the new bloke in my life. This is Alf Garnett's slightly less politically correct brother. I am spending four quality days with him behind a cider bar in Carlisle. Then at the end of the month I spend 3 weeks with him in Dundee. After which my debts shouldn't be a problem because I'll have probably done him in and be inside.:D

    I have had a message on a dating site from a smoker. I am pondering a date with him.

    Sounds like a plan.

    So not him, but sounds like there IS a new squeeze though. (Do women call boyfriends 'squeezes'?) Hope it's not rude.

    I smoke and you love me! Is he rich?

    I suppose it depends what you're squeezing :eek:

    You do smoke and I do love you. But you are an exception to so many of my principles. I don't clean tiles but I did yours! He travels a lot so he must be living on more than me (not difficult!)

    I shall make contact.

    So I do things you wouldn't. Cool. You have no idea... What else do I do that you tolerate with rolled eyes and a smile? Would love to know!

    Also...
    I have certain principles, and if you don't like them, I have others.

    Not sure I should be listening in to this conversation...

    Carlisle? Oh, that Carlisle. You should have said. The one up there and westwards...

    Sorry Mike. That's complete BULL. I don't even know why I wrote it. There's that foot and that mouth again.

    Just a conversation about cleaning my house, and the fact that I don't really do it just squirt the odd bit of cleaner and a bit of bleach.
