This is a real quote from Benjamin Franklin (although I'm not quite sure he meant it for us ). Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and good luck in 2005, whoever you are celebrating with.
"With bounteous cheer, conclude the year.
Be always at war with your vices,
at peace with your neighbours,
and let each New Year find you a better man."

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Anyone have any ideas on how a single Dad of three finds a Woman?

SuzyStockings · 22/12/2004 11:04

Merry Christmas all!

JMG1 - perhaps here is the perfect territory?!

jmg1 · 22/12/2004 11:09

Well SS it can't be worse than a dating site, cause I can't even get a reply to my messages on there.

karenanne · 22/12/2004 11:14

jmg1 · 22/12/2004 11:20

KA, I've been single for two years now (since DP died) and I can honestly say I would like to meet someone now. next year maybe!
Good thigs come to those who wait, as the Guinness people like to say.

wobblystarryknicks · 22/12/2004 11:21

jmg1 · 22/12/2004 11:22

Good 'things' even!

cranberryjampot · 22/12/2004 11:23

My friend registered with loopylove.com (or co.uk) and has had loads of response - better than any other site she's been on - sorry for butting in

wobblystarryknicks · 22/12/2004 11:30

You've got one minute left to start your own thread jmg!!!

jmg1 · 22/12/2004 11:32

wobbly, that sounds like bribary, what happened to your festive spirits?

wobblystarryknicks · 22/12/2004 11:33

No, not bribery - just a teeny bit of blackmail!! And it's because I'm feeling so festive that i'm giving you a (festive) kick up the @rse!!!

SuzyStockings · 22/12/2004 11:34

Try speeddateronline. I've used that (free trial) and got loads of interest. Also Londonmatchmaker (again freetrial) and again got loads of interest!

jmg1 · 22/12/2004 11:34

You norty girl you know what I like!!

wobblystarryknicks · 22/12/2004 11:35

You've had enough time now - i'm off to start that thread for you!!!

jmg1 · 22/12/2004 11:35

SS and CJP maybe I'll try them all and call myself desperate Dan!

SuzyStockings · 22/12/2004 11:38

See, defo wouldn't get a response from me then! I never reply to people who come across abit too keen.

you have to start with a bit of humour and then crank up the flirting a bit.

You wouldn't believe some of the emails you get as a woman on those sites, from the hysterical to the weird to the down right disgusting! In fact thinking about it if I'd had half a brain I would have kept them and compiled one of those 'little books of...'

jmg1 · 22/12/2004 11:40

SS, what sort of things do they say?

wobblystarryknicks · 22/12/2004 11:41
