    Well I'm in a much better mood today - maybe cos I've been for a run, helps focus the mind and the pain of running along the beach into the wind means the other stuff doesn't seem so bad, pain of being blown into a bollard quite bad though:rotfl::rotfl:

    Having a wee day at home today to catch up with all the odd jobs and finish off some college stuff, shall go visit my folks once DS gets home but hopefully it'll be a car free NSD day:D

    Well we ended up going in the car in the end which was just as well as DS was feeling a big seedy by the time we went home, fine today though so must just have been tired. Have asked ex not to keep in touch for now as it wasn't helping me just making me miserable :( feeling more positive today though so working already :)
    Weather awful, rainy and windy - gym tomorrow perhaps rather than run... can flirt with unsuitably young men ;) off to do some surveys now.

    Sorry ex was making you miserable, I think you've done the right thing an asked for a break in communication, you can't " get over" someone if there always " there"

    Now films where to begin with that one ... What type do u like ?
  • Hello,

    Exes are a terrible pain. You have my sympathy,

    To be fair to him, he's a nightmare because of his ex! Scared of being hurt and wants guarantees, what can I say... life just doesn't work that way... Sorry there are another two of you at least with rubbish exes too, lots of talking over the weekend, lots of crying (not in front of him), but he's a coward and like El says you can't get over someone while they are always there :(
    Anyhow enough of my self indulgent drivel:o!

    I am missing Miranda, Outnumbered is OK but not silly enough and it's the last Mrs Brown :(.

    Films El... mainly old classics for me, High Society, Funny Face, anything by Hitchcock...

    I am missing Miranda.
    I don't like Miranda. Sorry.

    Sorry about ex as well.Pants.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    We all like different things Gally girl and El :D would be a very dull place otherwise, actually I think Miranda is a bit like Marmite in that respect. Yes El, think I will go see it, Anthony Hopkins looks good in the bits I've seen.
