  • Thank you for the sympathies everyone (I keep thanking everyone and when I come back on here the next day it has un-thanked people! So apologies if I have not thanked you officially, I did try and just haven't noticed that it has ping-ed off again). I couldn't imagine my life without cheese (...mmmm...cheeeese.....) but I just have to be careful. At a cheese and wine party I can only eat about a quarter of what I want to :o

  • Urgh...just drunk my tea when cold. Actually cold. Not lukewarm which is bad enough, but cold. Nasty. Time to brew up to calm me down from the shock.

    Also, why is so much music now just terrible? I am definitely getting old ("the music was much better in my day, etc, etc") but I've reached that point where the 'new' stuff mostly leaves me cold. Back to my own playlist I think :) x

  • GAP! Just missed you. Aww bless you; sending more hugs...cheese and wine parties are awesome. I usually hoover up the leftovers while everyone else is tipsy (can't drink atm). Shouldn't eat cheese either, but it's funny how that seems to slip my mind.....

    My phrasing wasn't the best there was it, lol. Between beds. Sounds like a dodgy sitcom / hotel disaster moment :) x

  • When I was with the ex we went to a hotel for his mum's birthday one year. They gave us a room with two single beds but they had pushed them together and covered the mattresses with a double sheet. Genius! :)

  • Hey peeps,

    I have lost count of the amount of times we have been on holidays and had to push the single beds together and secure them. So many times my OH has cuddled up to me and then 'scrape' as the bed moves away and 'thud' as she hits the floor.
    If she's lucky, I have usually heard the bed start to move and can grab hold of it to prevent the stream of obscenities that would likely follow once she made contact with the tiles....all this and she's sober too....doh!

  • Lol DM - what a passion killer. Especially as it's probably then 'your fault' for not catching her :) (maybe I'm casting unfair dispersions there, lol...) x
