at 'arsekit' I like to think he keeps it packed and by the door in case of emergencies, like a maternity bag....

I have no doubt he does,,,Snape.....with some extra packets strawberry AD (Bant if I use initials with that help?)

Oh Cakey isn't quiet, he's not a still waters type at all. That could have possibilities. Such a shame as he is very nice, very straightforward.

The only way I can do it Moving is not to buy the crap in the first place. If it's here I will eat it, so I very rarely buy crisps and chocolate or else I will just make a total pig of myself. No willpower.

Ike well that's for the best, you need to do what's right for you, you little object of adoration, you !

I think the only thing I could add to the debate about stopping smoking, being a complete non-smoker, is a load of deeply unpleasant stories so I won't.

As for colon cleansing, I'd probably stick with a good diet, high in veg, decent hydration and possibly pre- and probiotics of some description, but I'd have to take a proper look at the evidence for/against them before I shelled out any cash.

I am glad I have never started smoking as I know I would be rubbish at stopping. Am useless at not eating sweets and chocolate

I apologise for the dullness of my last post, clearly it was a moment of being sensible and thus appallingly out of character.

Finished marking last night and then had to use ftp site to upload them. Some did, some didn't and the thing seems bust now . Last night moaned to Mr Nice about it (he is an IT Geek) and he ended up phoning me at half past minute and taking over my computer for me with one of the freaky things where someone else uses your mouse and he agreed it was being useless too. Person I need to call about it isn't answering their phone. Grr.

House is a tip. CBA to sort it out. Will try and rope in children. Grey hairs are making a bid for freedom and the cat has run out of cat food. Dishwasher still bust too.

Feel like I need some time all on my own with no people. Just for about 24 hours and then I will want them back again

He has made me think that maybe I should try to get a better pic of myself on line...I look a bit of a freak on there...but in real life I do scrub up well (takes longer than it used to mind)....I just dont take a brill pic though..

Miranda any chance you could book yourself into a hotel for 24 hrs ? The peace of no-one hassling me, no squabbling, no jobs that needed doing was wonderful.

Ike you need someone to take loads and loads of photos and then pick out the best.

Help please! The Engineer (he's going to have to be TE as that's just too much typing) wants to talk on the phone. I'm not at all keen on this plan - I find it difficult on the phone unless I know someone, dont think i come across well on the phone and would much rather just meet up.

I kind of suggested meeting, which prompted this phoning idea. How do I say no, let's just meet without either sounding a bit odd for not liking phones or sounding a bit control freaky and insistent on getting my own way?

OWW at least then you can tell whether he's going to talk in a weird mexican accent like thees.

When I was asked to chat on the phone I said no as I found it awkward to talk to a stranger without eye contact. Really I was scared my horrible voice would put him off. Then when I'd had a few drinks one night text to say OK lets do it.

How did that go Scrazy?

Ike yes it takes a lot of photos to get one that's reasonable, it rarely happens by chance for some of us.

OWW I usually say that I don't usually give out my number until I've met someone for coffee 'but I'm sure we can sort something out'. That usually prompts them to say 'we can meet up then'. Sometimes they insist with the 'you can call me and do 141 if you like' at which point I think ok they are considerate so I'll do it if I really have to.

OWW I never do the phone stuff. EVER.

He seemed relieved that I had a normal northern accent and wasn't posh.

What do you say Ike when they ask? I've never had anyone wanting to phone me before!

I just say what you have said...that I prefer to meet in RL because I find it awkward due to non eye contact ....I would expect most folk to understand and be empathetic with that.

I don't like talking to them on the phone either and will be nicking Juliette and Ike's tactics in future.

Thanks and glad it's not just me!

Yeah...whats the point? Is it a precursive interview or something? I could have chatted to Mr H on the phone....would have told me NOTHING about physial chemistry...

Nah, I hate speaking to strangers on the phone unless it's work related, think Velvet has said much the same thing in the past - Wanky Irish GSM man had a problem with it and so did Strange Coincidence Man but it's tough titty.

That's the thing isn't it - it doesn't really add anything and even voices can sound different on the phone to in real life. You just have to bite the bullet and meet up.
