    Now this is my kind of thread!! Michael Shanks, Rob Lowe and a spot of James Marsters :drool: :D :rotfl:

    People tend to choke when I say I have had a mortgage since 1994 - 13.5 years. I work with/alongside quite a few people who are early/mid 20s so many presume I am that kind of age too!! I thought you were around my age - 32 :rotfl:

    Good luck with your diary KC!!
    Mortgage free as of 12/08/20!

    Hi folks!

    Collectormania - my photo op is already booked, so no probs. I will get the photo signed if I can (to Karmacat! lol) - I may have to take part in a queue for that, but most events I've been to in the last few years have virtual queues - you get a ticket and come back. It cuts queue times to a third of what they used to be. Am just about to sort the hotel - I'll get cashback and reductions if I can, but I'm going to stay at the same hotel as a netfriend, be nice to sit in the bar and have a drink when I finally get in from work in London that evening.

    Fishface - careful what you say about Michael Shanks on this thread!!! :rotfl: Mind you, I do like *your* cup of tea - Rob Lowe and McDreamy (yep, I watch it too).

    OliveOyl - more :rotfl: gardeners are terrible sometimes, aren't they! Yours is the better revenge, I think: good for you, also the whole Lidl thing. I didn't know they sold plants, we have one opening up within a single busride of me early next year, and I'll certainly be checking it out regularly. I did about an hour of my gardening yesterday, really felt it afterwards even tho I had a soak afterwards. I'll be doing the same again today, as I've already finished paid work for the day.

    Pregnancy - :eek: :eek: :eek: no. In so many ways, no! Still, its great to hear that so many people thought I was younger than I was (waves at taka), I'm vain enough to like that.

    Today... what am I doing? A bit more on here, I think, that hour in the garden, *got* to do the washing up, and lots of admin - Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday are busy all day with paid work, so I don't have many chances to do stuff.

    Hope everyone has a good day.

    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: there seems to be a concensus of opinion on McDreamy! I think its the designer stubble, myself.

    And lynseyjane! Hi! You're someone *I* look up to as a regular, how cool for you to come to my diary! I remember that convention that David Boreanaz brought to Brighton. I don't live that far away, and I would *certainly* have gone, I think he's great, v sparkly (and also v good looking) but I was still actually debt-free at the time, as opposed to a dfw, and I was in America myself!

    aww shucks, thanks hun. you may be vain enough to be impressed by the years nocked of your age, I'm vain enough to be pleased that someone looks up to me! sometimes I do wonder looking at the number of people who post on my diary, you'd think only three people on here like me!

    you keep up the good work and if there is any more buffy type gossip, most especially any james marsters at a conference type stuff you make sure and announce it! my aunt will loev you forever!

    hugs
    xx
