    Oh I forgot the cat re-homing lady came around yesterday and judged us to be appropriate parents, so we're going to the shelter to get a cat on Saturday. I think it's probably the most exciting thing that's happened in my life for a few years!

    Sorry to hear about your gran Dinah - sorry late saying that, have been ill with the lurgy.

    Was that the same car you were selling, the Alfa? I thought you sold that last year, if it was the same that's a huge pain if two buyers pulled out, shouldn't be allowed.

    Hi to everyone else *sneaks away again before passes on lurghy*
  • Dinah - Was there other people bidding, if the bid of there was you could make a second chance offer to the next highest bidder???

    I’m back and more determined than ever!!!!!

    How nice about the cat Lara, I hope you'll post pictures once he/she comes home!

    The lady who interviewed me for the job I went for before Christmas has just rang and said that a second position has been approved and has asked me to go in on Monday to have another chat about it and that they're not advertising it yet... oooh that sounds quite promising I think! Fingers crossed they still like me!

    Hope you're on the mend Swinstie, lurgy's no good!

    I always wonder why people who know what they're doing go on beginners courses for things, it ruins it for the real beginners because you feel stupid asking questions when everyone else already knows the answer! I hope to see lots of nice photos taken with your fancy new camera once you learn how to work it like a pro! :) I hope you're looking after yourself, how are you doing with your 28 things list?

    Erm, I'm doing OK - off to Dublin on Friday so that one more thing crossed off. Struggling with the cinema ones though - no-one wants to see Harry Potter or anything foreign with me and I've never been to the cinema on my own before and am scared :(

    That's fab news about the cat Lara, I second Birdie's request for pics!

    And does indeed sound promising Birdie - good luck!

    Fancy no-one wanting to see Harry Potter with you! It's odd that the cinema is a daunting place to go on your own (I'd be scared too) but it's such a solitary thing when you think about it so why do we feel we must go in groups to sit in the dark and not talk?!

  • It's true, you're right. I want to force myself to go but I know I'll get there and feel lonely and a bit of a saddo with everyone else in groups/couples around me :(

    If it was me I'd be tempted to go early evening on a Monday, seems like an odd time/day to go so maybe fewer dates going on! And I'd get lots of popcorn to pig out on! :)

  • Monday is my photography class. I'm off work tomorrow to have my hair cut ready for my 'holiday', might go to the 3.30 showing ... but I can't decide what's worse - being the only lone person in a crowded cinema or possibly being the only person in the cinema at all!!?
