Oh it'll certainly be a couple of weeks... me and Dave haven't stopped for weeks! So next weekend is ours, and ours alone to do absolutely nothing with : )

It feels like a lifetime since Devon! We'll have to sort out Croyde reunion/'lets welcome Helen to the better country' (;)) party as soon as we're all free : )

It's sincerly good to have you over doll : )

So are you setting about getting a job or are you just gonna hang out at cinemas and pubs and let your man do all the earning? ; )

Thanks Sian (except for the 'better country' crap, I could do without that thanks ). As of right now, my plan is to take October off and not even think about work. I'm getting £150 a week for doing nothing anyway. And once November comes I'll start sorting out my cv etc. But I could get bored in a couple of weeks and decide to get started. Until I find a job I might do some voluntary work or something so I don't turn into a total slob. And when I look for a job I'm certainly not going back to what I was doing. I will either look into barwork (during the day) or just do some temping... nothing stressful. I might even do that course in photography I've been talking about who the fuck knows?

Absolutely gimme a couple of weeks to settle in and we'll sort something out. It's so weird that everyone else has to work and stuff. We were out last night with his friends bowling and cinema. He'd to go home after bowling though cos he was up at 5.30 this morning :eek: but I hung on and it's strange just going to the cinema and not the pub :eek: it'll take a bit of getting used to, lol. I've got into bad sleeping habits but hoping to sort that out soon. Not drinking this week.... well til the weekend anyway

thats the shittest thing about England... well apart from all the people and the queen... but that their pubs close at 11pm or something shite.. i remember being in Lodnon with Don and this wee bell rang at 10.30pm and i got all excited thinking maybe a miniature train might be coming or it was a bell to notify punters that the schoolmistress stripper was coming on in 10minutes ... but NO... it was last fucking orders. at 10.30pm.. in fucking LONDON?!?

we have creches open longer than that up here.

so, anyway... the Queen rules you now, you disgraceful traitor.

LMFAO... fucking tell me about it... 24 hour drinking me arse. You have to go out early and plan where you're going to go...not like in Dublin, the pub closes and you think 'hmm... where's open now?' and within a minute you've 5 more places you can go. Easy to find somewhere til 5 anyway.

'all the people and the queen' oh and why the fuck did you capitalise queen in the last sentence? it's not like she's God or something.

I was able to transfer my jobseekers allowance... I've been paying taxes 12 fucking years and working hard so I really don't give a fuck which government is paying me but your concern warms my heart

as if I'd fucking have YOU here lol, well that's definitely something that will happen at some stage... oh the bf goes to Glasgow and other places in Scotland quite a bit (can't remember any other place in Scotland) so maybe sometime I could get a lift and say hi. Never been... but he talks very fondly of the place

thanks cate... I'll be on a bit more from now on. This is his work laptop but he left it at home for me today and any day he's not in the office.

It's all quite exciting at the moment... I'm sure it will get boring fast though

thanks surfy... how've you been?

well he does play football the odd weekend with the lads but I'm not sure he's as good as Beckham (and Becks is crap )

And no, if it was just for a guy, I probably wouldn't have come. It was just time for a change and I've plenty of friends here, a house to move into and a life just pretty much waiting for me... and the extra 'exercise' kinda sealed it for me

Absolutely any time! Would be fantastic to see you... and catch up!

Don't have a big midlands meet up until I have a bit of cash to fly over. It's not a proper meet up if I don't make a complete tit of myself.

Indeed it would, been quite a while now. We should organize something for the not so distant future.

You could always come visit us also.

very good point. In fairness though I'm pretty good at flying the 'making a fool of myself' flag

but yeh, you keep an eye on flights and it's a plan

ooohh hippie, that sounds like quite the plan! Let's keep an eye on that. Not making any plans today but I think you all know I'm generally up for any kinda meet up if and when they happen

surfy thank you for now, I'm just concentrating on settling in but once I get settled and get bored I'm definitely looking forward to making a visit or two

and you (and mrs surfy) are welcome anytime

nope! It will be a cold day in hell when that happens . He would have moved over to me... only with the redundancy and all and him with stability here it just made more sense!
