The Rules

1 Develop a thick skin;

  1. Do not invest emotionally too soon;
  2. It's all BS until it actually happens;
  3. Trust your gut instinct;
  4. If it is not fun, stop


Off we go...

Western no comment Grin

Are the coal deliveries/yachts/French weather 3 separate conversations with different men, or one? (perhaps with a man who sails a coal fired yacht off the coast of Dieppe...)

Smoothie, I bloody hope you're not 'loved up' ( I'm very pleased you're happy, see - gives me hope)

Velvet - did you write 'Mrs Cuthbert' on your rough book too ? ( we've all done it )

Bride Be Lovely used to specialise in what I liked to call the 'Here's Me Arse' style of wedding dresses, whereby one ensured no-one could miss your fundament by sticking a 3 foot wide bow on the back of your dress at arse level.

Flipper -giant hug.

Kin no, but only because I have always said I won't change my name if I get married Grin I am staying a Spoon (well, not as such, but you know what I mean!).

C and I have already spoken about this, as he said he expects his (next) wife to change her name to his (fairly unusual) one. I said I was never changing mine....obviously this was a discussion in the abstract, because we are not even in a relationship, let alone in that sort of a relationship!

Nora I'm definitely not outwardly loved up! Quite hopeful that there's room for progression though...

Guess what word he used to describe me in the early stages of dating?

Insouciant

I'm never changing my name again for anyone (unless they have a nicer surname than mine. Unlikely)

Tell you what, Ivor's nipples are like chapel hat pegs - he could have your eye out with those

VelvetSpoon · 15/05/2013 22:59

The only thing that would possibly persuade me to change my surname would be to one more unusual than mine (appeals to the attention-seeking only child in me!)
