    Yep Alison you did :p:D I know, I know, I just didn't get it ... the date seemed to go so well, we just chatted away like we'd known each other years, so it didn't make sense, but am a happier benbenandme again tonight :)

  • Hey he's a bloke, thats practically an essay!

    Your day sounds very busy and like you achieved lots, we achieved nothing apart from going to the abbey (we live near an old abbey and the fabulous grounds that surround it) and getting plastered in mud from top to toe, lots of giggle salong the way though so it was worth it! Not sure my washing machine will agree with me though :p

    I feel like I've achieved a lot today, but looking round my flat it doens't seem it - theres still washing drying everywhere, 3 bin bags waiting to go out, a huge pile of car boot stuff ready to go down to the garage, but at least there are 2 nice clean beds ready to jump into :j :j

    Glad he's replied!

    Why not take a picture of DS holding his Mr Men books and such - it's a photo you can then remember with fondness as a "growing up" time but one that he can also look back on in years to come and go "wow" I had those books.

    I know you're right, I'm just sooo impatient :p:o

    I was thinking that what I may do (not sure when) is send a message via f/b, basically our messages back and forth tended to consist of asking each other 3 questions ... stuff like (a) last 3 songs listened to (b) best piece of advice you've ever been given (c) favourite colour jelly baby etc ... anyway, what I thought I may do is send a message saying something like ...

    hi, hope you're feeling better now ... who would have thought that after all that chatting I'd think of more questions :) ... (1) how did that happen again to your neck? (long story ;)), (2) not sure what to put here yet (3) are you free next weekend for more coffee / dinner??

    honest thoughts please!! :o
