Now there's a whole story that's passed me by. I just know "there used to be a waste of space" ... no more.

S'ok. Wish it had passed me by!

Will definitely delete:

I don't think too much about how old NPs are.... I didn't realise you were "that old"

That was how old I was when we met IRL.
I'm even older now

How old did you think I am? I've told you I'm no spring chicken :cool:

Dunno ... I'd have guessed from your Dr ... and I'd have mentally thought: to 18, A levels; 3 years for a degree = 21; 2 years for a Dr ... so 23 .... probably some "lost years" when you go down the Dr route, so probably 28ish ....

Look how far you have come in such a short time Nikks, carry on at that rate and in 18th months time you will be prime minister.

I thought the tesco vouchers cunningly could only be used starting the day after they are issued

Traffic was very busy on the M25 today quite often stationary, the 300 on AC repair started to look like a much better bargain. DBro who is expecting asked what car that was small enough for London but big enough for kids anyone in the family would recomend, we all said we wouldn't recomend any we had had....

Maybe. I didn't look..... I'll look and edit this in 2 minutes.

Update: No restrictions on start date, just "valid until 29/6/14".... so I could have used it immediately.

I can't remember what you look like though .... my speshulness includes a raft of disabilities around face recognition, which includes not being able to remember faces and what people look like.

If I were waiting to pick you up from a train I'd be looking for "a very slim, white girl, late 20s, long straight dark hair"..... and I'd probably end up approaching strangers as you look nothing like that

One out of 4 ain't bad :rotfl: (I've got long, straight dark hair - though it's usually tied back), I can only dream of being very slim (or even slim) or in my 20s. I've got a bit of a tan at the moment.

Went to uni at 18 - but for 4 yrs (undergrad masters), then worked for a yr, then postgrad masters, then PhD, then worked for a couple of years, then went back some, and have now had a Grown Up job for over 18 months.

I'll take 28 though

How many kids?

If 3 or less then a Honda Jazz is comfortable. if you need a 7 sweater then the quashqui do a 7 seater.

So would I

I've always thought 26 was about "a good age".

Nobody wants 7 sweaty people in one car!

I'll be delighted to still be able to pay my mortgage in 18 months time. I still can't believe I've got a mortgage (and a house and a garden ). It's only (counts...) 2 yrs and 3 months since I left there... Don't think I'll ever believe it. Was very fortunate to have somewhere to bail out to, and then find somewhere to move on to.

Still have some unfinished business, but overall I keep having to pinch myself that I'm here - it's amazing. Spinsterhood and all
