    Wow.....oh wow.....I've had the most fantastic weekend!

    Met up with M on Friday...and now he is my boyfriend. We just clicked and got on so well! It doesn't bother him that I've got problems, and he has fantastic taste in music...so lovely to meet someone on my wavelength. We spend Friday down the pub and watching TV, then Saturday we came to mine and got me some stuff, then spent most of the day watching Big Bang THeory and just spending time with each other...Won't see him for a bit now, he's busy with work and goes away for a week next weekend...miss him already.

    Had some good ebay sales, made about £30 so far so that's good. Will add 10km for all the walking we've done over the weekend :D

    Awww that's great news elfen! :j

    Congrats on the weight loss too!

    Have you read any Primo Levi? I recently read If this is a Man and The Truce by him. They are about his time in a camp near Auschwitz and what happened after he left. Very moving. I've got a few more by him which are in my 'to be read' pile.

    I doubt that very much. As long as you treat each other well and make each other happy, that's all that matters!

    Hi elfen
    Thanks:D. I've subscribed now so I'll be popping in to check up on your reading list, and you, of course:D. I'd be interested to see how you get on with Atonement, it's the only book I haven't been able to finish. I started it 5 times and gave up every time......
