watch brilliant re house! So you have a back-up if first choice falls through, that's great :) So pleased job is going well too, it will make a massive difference to your social life I'm sure of it, and at perfect time of year (people always make more of an effort to socialise at xmas, and also when in new jobs. So all good!)
bantam why couldn't Historian have told you that a few weeks ago when you text her re a 3rd date, instead of ignoring you?
Re Surreygirls use of the word nice, if she's anything like me her composition of that text will have gone as follows (disclaimer I am sure hope for your sake she is nothing like me):
So, Ill say 'it would be to do it again'
Fab - no, sounds a bit girly/faux cheery....
Great - Hmm, not convinced that's right either.
Lovely - no can't say that, I've already said I had a lovely time. He'll think I have no vocabulary.
Amazing - Oh, FFS, far too enthusiastic. Next thing I'll be saying totes amaze like a TOWIE reject
Nice - yes, ok, that'll do.
Oh bollocks, could I not have said something better than 'nice'? 
On an average text to a 'man' I know what I want to say within 10 secs, it then takes me another 10 mins at least to worry about the wording. I used feel and feelings in the same text recently and kicked myself for a considerable time thereafter. I very much doubt he even noticed...
