On a friday evening, preferably a class or something, although that might be hard with it being summer hols I suppose.

I have given up trying to make arrangements with friends, they always pretend they are busy and then go out themselves anyway.

I thought of swimming but my local pool is still shut and the next nearest one is in an area i'd rather not travel to on my own, on public transport after dark.

I live in Sutton Coldfield, but don't drive (yet) so it needs to be something fairly local.

I have googled but drawn a blank so far.

trying to think of things that arent oriented around nightclubbing.
what about finding out if anywhere does a quiznight? so not quite a singles night, but something to actually do?

thai boxing

Thats a shame Scorpio. That Salsa one you linked to have just started a class near to me but it is on a Monday. The Friday one is too far away.

IllegallyBrunette · 02/08/2008 14:35

Still life drawing ! With me as the artist or subject ? LOL

Had a quick look in the library today but there is nothing happening at all on a Friday.

Have checked the whole of the adult ed site and they also don't do anything on a Friday, well not of an evening anyway.

Are you going to the Brum meetup? Meet some other mums there and then you can do something with one of them?

IllegallyBrunette · 02/08/2008 14:41

Nope cos they are going clubbing.

IllegallyBrunette · 02/08/2008 14:42

My xp sneers at me because he can see I am not normally here all weekend. What he doesnt realise is usually I am nursing a hangover at Harmans house after a night of Kerry Katona and Top Gear. He imagines I lead a much more exciting life than I do.

Its a shame you are not nearer. Me and sdo3 were talking about you last night, get hooked up with him, he will take you out for the night, and hes not that far.

IllegallyBrunette · 02/08/2008 14:46

I am tempted though. Will have a think.

IllegallyBrunette · 02/08/2008 15:01

LOL, makes me shudder the responses I could get from that.

Blergh, I can just imagine.

Speed up those driving lessons. You can just go driving up up and down the country listening to cheesey music
