Hi everyone, I?m in need of some ideas here so thought I?d ask you lot!

I want to have a couple of days away somewhere, just me. Possibly inspired a bit by Yoga?s spa break. My plan at the moment is to drive somewhere a long way away, have a couple of nights in a lovely hotel, eat great food, sit by the roaring log fire with a pint and a paper/book. Perhaps during the day walk on a beach or round a town. I?m thinking fairly quiet, coastal scenery, gastropub food, boutique hotel, lovely town nearby.

Distance no object, cost no object (well, within reason).

Any of you got any great suggestions?

BillMasen · 08/01/2013 12:32

Oh, and 49%. I think I need corrupting...

ike1 · 08/01/2013 12:33

Not got any suggestions Bill but sounds lush! Wow I am surrounded by bloody preverts on here!! What am I doing, associating with you lot?? Thank god for my iron knicks and cat bum mouth!!

lubeybooby · 08/01/2013 12:34

Bill I'd go for the lake district, particularly Kendal. Not coastal, but excellent lake, walks nearby, views, selection of hotels, pubs, cafes, deli etc. And even more on offer if you drive a bit into manesty or borrowdale for a walk or view too.

lubeybooby · 08/01/2013 12:35

I completely corrupted BC. Damn that was fun. I miss him!

BillMasen · 08/01/2013 12:36

ike I have a mental image of what I'm looking for. Just need to find it.

ike1 · 08/01/2013 12:36

....though some of you lot would probs be attracted to my mouth cos it is shaped like a cats bum eh?? H club I'm watching you!!

lubeybooby · 08/01/2013 12:37

Scrazy I didn't tick any of the animals, shit or dead ones either but got a very definite 20%! I don't think there was anything else though that i didn't tick. Oh apart from incest... bleeee, no ticks there.

Scrazy · 08/01/2013 12:40

Bill, if you take Lubey's advice pm me as I have insider information.

JulietteMontague · 08/01/2013 13:01

Ahem.

Bill, have pmd you.

Snapespeare · 08/01/2013 13:14

If i could go away for a weekend for my birthday (end of the month) I'd go to Whistable (been before, like it) or The Lizard penisula (I've never been to Cornwall, I've always wanted to go) i'd stay here

Scrazy · 08/01/2013 13:19

I've just agreed to join some people from work to the remote highlands for a weekend break. eek! Need to do different things this year.

MirandaWest · 08/01/2013 14:29

I think I will do the purity test. Am very pure though tbh Blush.

BillMasen · 08/01/2013 14:35

snape that looks lovely. I'm a mr and mrs smith fan and its normally my "go to" site for cool hotels. I'll have a glance later on and see what I can find.

MirandaWest · 08/01/2013 14:58

I did the 500 question version. Am 70.2% pure. There were a lot of questions about wee and poo there....

Bant · 08/01/2013 16:01

I only did the 200 question one - I'll try the 500 or 1000 one later on when I'm home.

No response from ShoeGirl (I didn't text her since she stood me up, still thinking about doing it) - or Miss Guinness, who admittedly is busy at work. Was supposed to speak to someone last night and I think we got our wires crossed

lubeybooby · 08/01/2013 16:25

Don't text her Bant. She must have changed her mind and been fibbing - she would have been in contact by now if it was a genuine excuse.

How do you mean getting wires crossed?

Urgh I am so tired.

I have had a brief chat with one of the other possibles from my PoF smash and grab though and will possibly meet at the weekend... I'm reluctant to make firm plans though as the other two (Mr iPhone and Mr Clever) get priority.

Just found out I have Saturday night kid free too... hmmm.

lubeybooby · 08/01/2013 16:26

That should say the other two get priority but haven't even attempted to make plans with either yet (though I intend to when not so tired out!)

ike1 · 08/01/2013 17:23

I am getting a bit lonely and just want a male buddy to see films and go to dinner with and then maybe some very vanilla nooky afterwards. Instead I still have the offer of Mr Natural on the table who finds my pictures so sexy that he couldnt possibly consider 'just friends' cos he wants to shag my brains out....now what do I do???

ike1 · 08/01/2013 17:25

The truth is while I quite like sex I really am not THAT bothered about it ...should I put myself and him through a date just cos I am boooooooored?

ike1 · 08/01/2013 17:27

On the otherhand he might be gorgeous and maybe after the requisite 4 dates I will want to climb on board and ride that cowboy....what to do???

48howdidthathappen · 08/01/2013 17:35

Ride that cowboy Grin No question.

JulietteMontague · 08/01/2013 17:35

ike no of course not. The only reason to have sex is because you want to. He finds you so sexy he can only consider shagging you, translates to I want to have sex with you, the sooner the better so he is unlikely to be the male buddy.

Are you lonely as in wanting a connection with someone special or just male company and a bit of a flirt? Mr Natural has made his intentions clear and unless that is what you want to, just no.

Scrazy · 08/01/2013 17:53

Agree with Juliette Ike, if you only want sex then he is your guy, if you want good company then not.

I am off men for a little while. Need to get over the other one first and get used to being solitary before I date anyone, though goodness knows where I will find one.
