    While we're all making lists ... I agree with @Willowtree222 that financially secure is important, as is well read/educated so that if you get further than @[Deleted User] you can have a conversation ;), and definitely practical. I'm not sure I want someone whose body would constantly remind me that mine needs work!

    Mind you, YouTube is a mine of useful information and I'm now competent to do DIY I never thought I would be simply because it's less hassle than getting someone in... so maybe purely decorative is fine?
    I mean, we did talk over dinner (which is how I knew he was very well read) but we never really got deeper than that!
    I guess it depends which deeper you’re referring too 😳🙊

    I enjoy admiring a well sculpted body! I guess it does make me paranoid a little about my own but i think that’s why lights and duvets were invented!  Xxxx
    Have you watched Bridgerton series two? The Viscount! My Goodness me. 
    Not seen series one! 
    You need to watch it. It is so good. 
    Nevertheless she persisted.

    Just bought dog food. Mum buys it one month and I buy it the other month. 

    First month - 12. 95 for 80 pouches (amazing I will admit) 

    next month 15.96 

    last time I bought in Feb, 16.16 

    Ok.............

    Tonight 

    26.00

    Turns out it cost that when Mum bought it in March..........

    It is so crazy.
