    DH would be excited too!! He studied astrophysics at uni :eek: so loves all that kind of thing. A few years ago I found out you can buy an acre of land on the moon (obviously just a gimmick I do realise that!) so I bought him one. He's got a certificate and everything!!! :rotfl:

    He definitely doesn't deserve you. Especially if he can be mean like that!! You are much too good for him x

    Aw thank you ladies :D I feel the same :D quite glad it's taken this long - he's actually a lot more sensible now than he was then, and his girlfriend has her head screwed on much better than some of the intervening ones!!

    My auntie bought my uncle an acre of moon too :D I think it's quite exciting :D wonder whether they've sold more acres than are actually on the moon yet?! :rotfl:

    Oh! Yes, I can absolutely understand not wanting to unfriend him. Be kind to yourself today.

    Thanks KC :) Feeling a tad weird about the whole lot of them - and kind of expecting the third one to ring and say he's getting married or something :rotfl:

    No (sensible) reason for weirdness of course, been very happy with Mr Cheery for over 9 years now! :j

    Ah well, suspect i'll get over it...

    Speaking of mr cheery, he's just informed me on the phone that he wants to go out this evening. This is really quite rare for us!! :eek: :rotfl: goodness knows what he's got in mind. Mind you, sounds like he's had a rotten day having camera down throat at hospital then dealing with a pal behaving rather oddly so maybe just needs to get away.

    This is what the treats budget is for after all!
  • :j YAY! to budgeted for spontaneity Cheery :j

    Have a great time - hope the weather has improved round your way - saw the pics of that car that skidded out of control :eek:
