    That sounds like a nice day! I'm zooming up to London for 3 hours, and zooming back home again to go to my businesspartner's 60th birthday - I think I'd rather be in a cafe playing on the internet.... have a good one.

    hi hun, good to see that you are feeling positive today. Remember that most of Norwich is wireless access now so you should easily be able to find somewhere to sit. The Forum is good because there is loads of space and you don't feel pressured to spend money!

    OH is working there today, you might even be able to blag a cup of tea.....very DFW!!

  • Morning P, glad to hear you upbeat :) I think I'm going to eBay tomorrow but consider yourself nagged ;) Today I'm having a major clean/ tidy up in flat (badly needed, I'm even going to scrub the oven, yuck), and maybe nip out for some food shopping - not very exciting, but should be out tonight which will make up for it!

    Have a nice day x

    yes z he asked me very nicely while shivering in the pouring rain yesterday evening. He doesn't even have a rug right now poor neglected little bean that he is. And he asked so politely......

    Hypno, i'm off to the forum, RIGHT now!! (where is the forum:confused::o )
    Currently sitting in starbucks, (internet access £5 an hour but have managed to get on openworld for free! got a bottle of water from boots, (59p) and no starbucks drink (but i suppose i'll have to buy one in a bit:o ) just nice to get out of the house for a while!!

    Ok, so story so far... SD (for those new to the thread SD=sperm donor) has managed to locate and write to a close member of family, talking about her husband, kids and what happened way back when. The most hurtful thing of all, he has referred to me right the way throughout the letter as my middle name only. The !!!!!! has even forgotten my name that is how much he gives a hoot. family member phoned in floods of tears saying "where we realy that unimportant that he can forget your name?" to be honest deep down, if i open the dreaded pandoras box and look in it it'd be in peaces, but panias little happy place for now won't allow me to so the hurt is very well buried.
    She is paranoid now though that the investigator has been following her to find out about the family but i've tried hardest to reassure her that the internet gives soo much access to registry offices and certificates of marriage and birth that it's probably just through research that he's managed to find all this out.

    Hi GTD, good to "see" you, how are things with you?

  • Afternoon Miss P, how are you? Have you done your ebay listings, hmmm? :p Just finished mine, so fingers crossed there's some bidding going on! Off to do Quidco clicks now, and anything else I can think of to raise some money whilst sitting on the sofa in my PJs! :D
