    Erm like more than one room to call my own and a not having to share a bathroom and kitchen....

    Well if you ever decide to move in with someone, you'll be back to that. Unless of course, you're like some people who have more bathrooms than people in their house.

    Nope that sounds pretty fun as a room plan to me too - perfect for staring up at when !!!!ed and hoping the stripes aren't moving :D

    If they're not - you haven't drank enough...

    Ninth Anniversary Combo Breaker
    Have just stumbled across your diary - the beginning of your diary sounds a lot like where I am now. I've moved into my Mum's after moving out of ex-partner's house.
    I've lived with my Mum for 2 months now and I'm already looking at other places to live, getting itchy feet. Seeing what I can afford with my make-believe budget. I need to stop, otherwise this is going to get old, fast! :(

    Welcome dearlouise. Yeah this living with parents thing utterly sucks doesnt it!

    I've been away this weekend for my friends wedding.

    Highlights included being sat in the boot of my car at 2am with a bottle of rum waiting for a friend to arrive who couldnt arrive before the pub shut to check in.

    The Guard of Honour, being sat behind the Canuck and I in the church and fairly regularly collapsing in fits of giggles at the Priest saying things only the filthiest minds would find double entendre's in.

    The Alternative Guard of Honour with lightsabres.

    Free ice cream, drinking the bar dry of vodka and southern comfort, being last 'man' standing.

    And having my room and car key handed back to me over breakfast by the guy who wanted to be last man standing but realised at 9am that he'd a face full of make up on as he fell asleep - I forgot my keys sneaking out of the room trying not to wake him at 5am.

    The slightly odd compliment of "You're not as hot as the canuk, but we think you'd be better in bed as you're not neurotic"

    Post wedding I spent Sunday afternoon sat outside another friends house in Kent drinking water and getting sunburn until it cooled down enough for me to want to face the drive home again - 7 hours and we barely paused to breathe while having a conversation which encompassed Chinese dynastic history, our transgender friends, who of our mutual friends we'd pair up if we got the chance and the best way to interview prospective parents in law (in the end we decided it's best to fall for orphans).

    It naturally goes without saying that the Bride looked bloody gorgeous, and the Groom incredibly handsome.

    I did wonder where you'd been.

    Finding double-entendres is not the sign of a dirty mind. It's other people failing to use language correctly, and not being precise. They simply don't think about what they're doing and it ends up going places it shouldn't.

    Sometimes it's shocking - especially to the recipient... :shocked:

    "We"? Sounds like you'd be busy...

    He must have been good looking to get away with a comment like that.

    Well we were getting told off for being smutty in a Church, which just made us worse.

    They made noises yes, which caused much hilarity when we realised after accidentally pressing the button in church.

    You saying you wouldn't have made him pretty with access to make up too? :D

    Bless 'em they thought it would be news to me that men discuss women as a group - so yes it was a group decision. Of course none of them would have been brave/daft enough to actually suggest I sleep with one of them, since three of the four were married and the one not married has a girlfriend (and was ginger). Much less realise that women have exactly the same conversations with their friends so we'd ranked each of them too.

    I wore a dress. 'nuff said.

    Surely in the world of most people make up = pretty and more make up = more pretty...... So I made him very very pretty :D

    More like a Commonwealth jury - what with the Canuk, Saffa, and a Brit.

    Nope more like very uncomfortable, too damn warm and far too sober 90% of the day.

    Work have today sent out an email advertising a job internally, currently trying to remember who I know that does a similar role so I can pepper my cover letter with buzz words since I've never done that type of job before.

    Ah, so you think Robert Smith out of the Cure is drop dead gorgeous.

    So a 4.1 for technical merit and 4.9 for artistic impression?

    You should have worn a thinner dress then. You're probably getting acclimatised to the north by now.

    It wasn't so much the fabric as the quantity of it - it was floor length so getting any air to any part of my skin other than my head and arms was distinctly unlady like :D

    HR, I've got a friend looking over my CV at the moment, we're working on the assumption that although I don't have experience they already know I'm hard working and quick to learn since I had no experience in the job I'm already doing for them now when I started.

    Already having a foot in the door is an advantage for that.
