Thanks for liking my sig:) I am female,age 67, just coming up to my 46th wedding anniversary, one son of 37, no grandchildren.

I am a practising Christian and at the moment attend a C of E church although I have only just started going there after leaving my last church of eight years for various reasons. I might not stay there yet, still deciding. I'm not bothered about denomination.

I live in a lovely bungalow on the northwest edge of the West Midlands conurbation and have two elderly tabby cats.

I happened to notice the discussion when I logged in and thought it made a nice change from all the nastiness on Discussion Time.

Is that enough??

No, we need your credit card details and PIN number, too!


Jo-king! :rotfl:

Yes, it's nice in here. If people disagree with you, they just agree to disagree, and then apologise for disagreeing!

It doesn't often get to the disagreeing stage, though!

Usually it's just, " oh, that's an interesting alternative point of view!"

'Interesting' and 'alternative are very useful words for when you disagree with someone

I'm surprised you haven't already been a NP at some point in the past. Didn't you used to live in Spain? Not stalking you, I'm just sure I remember you rather well. House Buying Board before they split the sockpuppets and mentalists off into this forum?

Yes I lived in Spain from 2004 til the end of 2011. We sold up and came back to the house we'd kept but have since moved.

Wow. I've been here too long!

What was wrong with Spain, if it's not a touchy subject? You were there quite a long time if you didn't like it!

Two other things whilst I'm in tactless mode:

I remember your username, too. I think it's brilliant.

I looked up your St Augustine quote, to find out some of the background. Wikipedia says it originated during the 30 years war, i.e. long after he died. It doesn't detract from the sense behind it, of course.

She didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition.
NO-ONE expects the Spanish Inquisition.

Several glimmers of hope arrived Saturday morning with possible vacancies but all came to nothing until trying my last last hope discovered they had just had someone cancel 3 rooms.

Phew! So pleased you got something.

I am female, age 48, three-quarters divorced and three-quarters widowed, one son of 16 and one daughter of 13 (but not 13 for much longer).

Awww. Glad you found us then.

Yes, lovely, thanks. Great to have you around. I'm sure we'll learn more about you gradually as the conversation meanders its way around. :hello:

As you do .... I had a new neighbour two months ago, looked at sold prices on RM and was surprised to see it's already been updated. The house went for the full asking price.

You always wonder what they went for when they sell... just usual noseyness

I've somehow ended up with my friend's dog for 10 days, except I go away at the weekend. He looks like a bat.

I have forgiven all previous sins of my two. This one is a complete mentalist. I was just having a conversation consisting of words and raised eyebrows with Doozerdog where we're negotiating over whether he can destroy a toy pig (the answer is 'no' and he has gone to sleep with it), whilst Batdog is nonchalantly trying to swallow my macbook charger, followed by handbag, scale ruler and sock.

He is lying down against my lap, which is about the first time he has willingly sat down since he arrived yesterday. I am afraid to move and disturb him.
