What is a soulmate? Posted: 7/20/2008 3:59:36 AM
Someone who totally understands you, never judges you and is totally honest with you no matter how they think you might react and someone who you can be yourself with. Someone like my fella lol

not leaving just not so regular.... Posted: 7/17/2008 10:34:43 AM
I used to be on here every single night, anticipating finding an email from another 'admirer', browsing the lists to see if there were any 'newbies' to mail. Two years like this, the odd night out with friends, perhaps once a month, complaining to my friends that there were no men out there that were after anything other than wham bam thankyou ma'am. Finally around 9 months ago I got back in touch with a very old school friend, then around february I started hanging out with her every week, her and some mates of hers she'd picked up through out the years since high school... Then end of May we were invited to a friends birthday boozy night out. My best mate didnt come but I went, took some guts I can tell you...but I ended up having the best night out in years. That night I got chatting properly to one of the quieter blokes of the group...turns out he's not so quiet! He was shy because he didnt really know me, but having chatted a fair bit he started hanging out more with us. I started hanging out at the pub he works at then a couple of weeks later we spent a night together. Perfect gentleman, no advances made, no signs that he's even interested, so to show I'm interested I start to spend more time at his pub then suddenly BAM! He makes a move. We finally told all our mutual friends that we were spending time together around 2 or 3 weeks after that first night of hanging out together. It was then official, we're an item. Nearly 6 weeks later and we're still really happy, settling into our own little routine together and enjoying each others company. I met this guy away from POF, I met him through friends and he was under my nose for quite a few months before we properly started hanging out and talking. My point? I used to spend alot of time in front of this computer. I took myself away from the computer a few extra times a week and I met someone fantastic. He treats me like a lady, respects me and my space, protects me fiercely which I love about him. When he holds me I feel wanted, needed, loved and cherished. I dont need assurances from him of how he feels about me, because I already know it in my heart. I see it in the small touches, kisses and gestures that he offers and they are everything I could ever want. I found this because I allowed my friends to pull me out into the big wide world. I highly recommend it folks, but I also say - dont place too much emphasis on finding 'the one' he or she will find you when theyre ready. I say this because I actually met my man four years ago, only briefly but we both weren't ready at that point so we didnt see each other in that way. He's mine now and I couldnt want for anything more.

It's all about looks... Posted: 4/8/2008 8:24:52 AM
I totally disagree with the statement that its all about looks. Its totally about perception, how you perceive yourself and how you allow others to perceive you. I'm not exactly supermodel material, I'm overweight and have a low self esteem, I only make an effort with my appearance when I'm going out and I'm a total tom boy. My new years resolution was to stop being negative about myself and my relationships, to stop looking for a relationship and relax within myself, in February, I met someone, he knows this next bit so I'll say it straight - he's not my type. We spent a couple of dates together, he came with me to a club on our first date, with one of my mates. After that we spent evenings together on my sofa watching tv and chatting. I've grown extremely fond of him, we've been seeing each other for nearly 7 weeks now, I've not felt this happy or comfortable with a person in a very long time. I can talk to him about anything and even my insecurities are a topic we can easily discuss. And these are the same insecurities that have destroyed past relationships!! Even with some people trying to stir things up and making accusations of him, I've discussed them with him and we've got past them, I've not allowed them to eat away at me like I would have before. I'm not going to say I love this guy...it's too soon, but as you can see from my profile pic, we make a great couple even if I do say so myself!! lol I've been on this site over a year and a half and met some shallow, small minded people who can only see the veneer, I've also met some very needy and insecure people, but I can assure you.......Looks are not everything, it just takes a while for your perception of yourself to change, when that happens, other peoples' perception of you is different. I did and I've never been happier.

Taking a new relationship slowly - why do that? Posted: 3/2/2008 11:39:24 PM
Ok so the slowly or instant debate. Personally I think the softly softly approach is the better of the 2, I say this obviously from experience but also most definitely from the heart. I look back on the past relationships that I've had and think about those that I sped into; passionate, spontaneous, fiery, yet fizzled out really quickly. Then I think on the ones that I did actually fall in love with; slow, steady, reliable, and full of love. The past 2 serious relationships I had were with men that were so not my type, yet I persevered, grew to love them and as a result that love was stronger and lasted longer. So....in my opinion - Slowly is best.

Would you know if your partner was cheating? Posted: 2/26/2008 2:38:28 AM
I had the same kind of situation. My suspicions were so strong after all those things the OP mentioned, that I just confronted him, told him I knew about his other woman (I actually had no proof at all) he broke down saying he was really sorry, he never meant to cheat....Busted! I then admitted I never had any proof and only a suspicion. His face fell. Lesson learnt; always trust your gut feeling.

Do you know your neighbours Posted: 2/21/2008 11:51:05 AM
I do know my immediate neighbours yes, one of whom was on here for a while! The other I dont get on with, she owns her house, I rent mine and she always seems to look down her nose at me, yet she gets on very well with my other neighbour, mainly because they both have kids of roughly the same age, they play together and the adults chat. So anyway, one I like, one I dont, the rest I dont know.

Best way to de-ice the car Posted: 2/19/2008 1:02:58 PM
I start the car with the fan on the windscreen then scrape the windows myself. My car means alot to me to I'll always put the effort into anything that'll preserve her that much longer. I never use de-icer spray, and wont used hot water. The fan warms up gently and the glass heats up slowly with it, thus no cracks.

How many of you have dogs right now?What dogs do you have? Posted: 2/18/2008 12:06:34 AM
I have a yorkshire terrier, currently zonked out on the sofa despite having slept all night, apart from a brief interlude at midnight when he decided it was time for a pee. I chose him because my ex father in law had got one from this breeder and it was so cute and just the most adorable little thing I'd ever seen so we rang her up and found out she'd just got results that her **** was pregnant again and we said we'd keep in touch to choose one when they were born. I like my yorkie, he's not yappy, he's not grumpy, he's great company and always happy to see me, knows when I'm unhappy and knows when I'm mad, greatest company a single girl could have. Oh and he doesnt moult! if he does its totally un noticable. Mainly because the cats moult so much I wouldnt realise if the dog did! lol

Lets talk hair! Posted: 2/8/2008 10:10:48 AM
Over the past couple of years I've had really short, really long and in between, but my hair suits best at mid length. When its really long I get a bump at the back of my head where the hair catches on my collar, no matter if I straighten it or not, always a kink there and it frustrated the hell out of me. Short I just looked like a pin head...big body, tiny head. Hated that I could never do anything different with it. At mid length if I get the bump it looks like part of the style, and it's long enough to do different stuff with, and short enough that when I straighten it, it stays that way without the kink! Suits my face better too

spinsters and batchelors.. Posted: 2/8/2008 9:57:41 AM
I married at 23 for all the right reasons and with it in mind that we were for life. I've been divorced 4 years now. Our situation changed, my ex had a 'near death experience' which changed him completely, our relationship couldnt survive that, no matter how much we tried so I left. Yes things happen and people change but I now look at relationships as being extremely special. They have to be to survive everything that life throws at us. It doesnt fuss me if a guy is in his 30's/40's and never married, just means he's been waiting for that someone special someone to survive life with.

lotto rollover,WHY NOT............... Posted: 2/8/2008 9:50:34 AM
We were talking about this at work today, what you would do if you won that amount of money. I laughed and said not tell a soul, carry on working and 'forget' to tell anyone, but secretly pay off my debts, give my family a portion each, put some in trust for my niece and perhaps any kids I might have in the future and then buy a house, swearing all my family to secrecy. If people then asked how I could afford to buy a house I'd just say I got a small win and could afford to invest in a house, most people know it's my dream to own my own home, so no one would question it lol After that, carry on working, keeping it quiet and when the money had grown a little in interest, every so often give the interest to various charities Giving such a huge lottery roll over to hospitals and schools and the areas of our society that suffer from the budget cuts we keep having would probably be a mistake, because the government would get hold of it that way and they cant manage the money they have yearly as it is!

lying for personal gain as shown on tv. Posted: 2/8/2008 9:39:50 AM
Cant honestly say I've lied about myself to get or keep a job but I came across a call from a customer today which to be honest, really shocked me. The caller basically advised that a man had come to her door saying that she could be paying too much for her gas and electricity and if he could come in and do some readings he'd be able to tell her if that was the case and sort out a refund on her bills. Having done these readings, he said yes you are entitled to the refund and if you sign this form here and here I'll get your refund sorted. Turned out in truth that the form he got this poor lady to sign was authority for him to change this lady's supplier of gas and electricity to the company he worked for! Having discussed it with a supervisor I realised this is actually fraud, he misrepresented his intentions in this lady's home and he could get prosecuted and fired for it! The customer should have called the police! Most likely he wasnt meeting his sales target and this was the only way he could see of reaching them. Quite frankly....Thats disgusting!!!

Is there a mechanic in the house? Posted: 2/7/2008 12:07:34 AM
Sounds to me like the same thing my old girl had and the garage I took her to checked everything on the ignition system. Thats Timing, Sparks, HT leads, Carb and Distribution cap (though I know most modern cars dont have this or the Distribution cap anymore). Yes you can have a problem with the spark plugs, even when newly fitted, there is a gap at the tip of a spark plug, kind of a squared off hook which when electricity passes through the plug a spark is created within the gap to assist in ignition of the fuel. If the gap is incorrect on the plugs then the spark cannot be created correctly and doesnt ignite the fuel as efficiently. Thus causing bad running, running rich or strong smell of fuel after turning off (unburnt fuel). Bad Timing can cause the car to kangaroo, drop power shortly after acceleration, and 'pinking' (carries on running after the engine has been switched off). The 2 above problems can cause 'coking' in the distribution cap and carburrettor, which in turn makes the car run poorly, sometimes a spot of 'Redex' in the fuel can help to clean the engine out as it runs, this will cause some blackening of the exhaust - it's just the crap all being burnt out of the engine - but this is only a short term fix, you will need to get the ignition system looked at because these types of problems if left can cause long term and very expensive damage! When I had mine checked, I went to a small garage - guy working out of his garden and he only charged me £20 to check all that! I hope you sort that garage out, because word of mouth can be very damaging as well as profitable.

Do you remember where you were/what you were doing at the time of major historic events? Posted: 2/6/2008 11:47:45 PM
well storm of 87 I was asleep when my older sister all scared from a roof tile falling off and the window being battered came and woke me up getting into my bed. Otherwise I'd have slept through the whole thing Diana's death I was getting ready for opening at work. I worked on a Deli counter back then and was getting the counter ready for the day when the papers came in and my boss came running up asking if I'd heard about it. I laughed and told him that was a funny joke, then he showed me a poster he had to put up showing the local news headline. 9/11 I was sitting in the office of BT in Ipswich when I could hear a 'disturbance' coming from the next set of desks along, they were set up in bay type areas with dividers between us, so I popped my head round the divider and found a crowd hanging around a mates desk, when I asked what was going on they said a plane had crashed into a twin tower, I grabbed a chair and pulled myself up at that point. We sat and watched as the second plane collided. The bosses called an HR meeting at that point to discuss whether or not to send us all home because there was no way we'd get any work done - alot of the staff had family and friends in the Towers and BT had an office there too.

Widower battles to stay in UK Posted: 2/6/2008 12:03:47 AM
A tad bit wrong in my view. They kill his missus then order him to leave the country - very wrong. The child is british so would be allowed to stay of course, but what if his dad does get deported? Does he get taken to his parents homeland with his father? What then happens there to his citizenship status? Does he then get deported because he's not born of that country?! All wrong.

do you check your payslips? Posted: 2/2/2008 5:28:55 PM
Hell no, I work on such a tight budget I notice if its even slightly different by a couple of quid. I check it every month and if there's a mistake I pull them up on it, if I've been paid too much, I still pull them up on it, because I know eventually theyre going to ask for it back and I dont earn enough to be able to afford to make payments back to them So yeh, I check my payslips every month, without fail.

Sulking.... Posted: 2/1/2008 10:09:13 AM
yep I sulk. I know I do and I dont care. lol No seriously, I tend to only sulk with my parents or my sister because no matter what I do, how I behave I'm still a child and treated as such...bearing in mind I'm 30 it gets very annoying so I tend to make myself scarce as quickly as possible, just to avoid an argument with them when they do start, they of course then see that as sulking

do you wake up happy ? Posted: 1/31/2008 1:58:51 AM
I'm not a chirpy person when I wake up but I'm not miserable either. I have 2 alarms on my clock, set 15 minutes apart so I get to wake up slowly between the 2. When the second one goes off I get up, get ready for work and then sit with a cuppa for a half hour, checking emails and stuff. Nice quiet morning. If it's a weekend I'll wake up slowly, cuddle the dog a bit, visit the bathroom, get dressed, have a cuppa, all while thinking about what I've got to do that day, and then get on with my day, be it going to visit people or doing chores. If I'm waking up with someone I like to cuddle up for a little while but my mind is running through everything I have to do, so I get back to my routine of when I wake up alone. It does annoy me if the person I wake up with tries to persuade me to stay in bed when I really dont want to or if I've already said I've got stuff to do. So in that respect I can turn a bit grumpy.

Norovirus Posted: 1/30/2008 6:19:45 AM
I had something a couple of weeks ago, not sure it was this virus thing but I heeded the quarantine. I was tired all weekend, headachy and irritable then by the sunday night i took myself off to bed early, woke up at 10pm with severe stomach cramps, and nausea dashed to the toilet and sat on there for an hour, came downstairs for some water and a heat pack, went back to the bathroom, sat there for another hour with the heat pack on my stomach then went to bed with bad stomach cramps and a bucket lay on my back with the heat pack on my stomach then woke up the next morning with the alarm. I took 2 days off to be sure I didnt have it still before going back to work, one of the managers told me to stay away.

Fake Babies. Posted: 1/29/2008 12:10:33 AM
It does seem a little strange to use them like fashion accessories, dress them up and spend money on them but there you go - different strokes. The problem is that in the current society alot of women (particularly young mothers I've noticed) do this to real children. Spending money on designer items so they look so cute as a 'mini-me'. I saw this program very briefly last night and I found it to be quite wrong. The emotional upheaval of losing a child should be worked through, clinging to the past is very unhealthy and having an exact copy of a dead child only keeps that pain alive. Knock me if you will but IMO the whole situation is just wrong.

I found out only recently that romance isnt dead. I've started seeing a fellow fishy and on our second date, he brought me flowers. We spent the weekend together and although it only cost him £1 he won me a bagpuss out of one of the grab machines at the local pier...my hero! lol Then that evening, because I said I hadnt had a proper take out pizza in ages, he bought me one. He's romantic, loving and sooooo complimentary of me and I love it! lol

Are You Afraid To Walk In Your Home Town After Dark? Posted: 1/28/2008 11:37:46 PM
I wouldnt walk around my own neighbourhood at night by myself, but I would walk through town - there's plenty of CCTV and police patrols through town but none around my area. I was planning on buying a treadmill during the january sales, one friend when I told them asked me why I dont just go out of an evening and walk, my reply was "I know I havent had sex in a while but I really dont fancy being raped!" It's a horrible area, not far from the red light district and in the first 8 months of living here they'd tried to steal my pushbike and a garden table, took 2 wrought iron garden chairs and set fire to my brand new shed. So no...I will NOT go out at night in my area.

your car your pride and joy or just to get you from A to B Posted: 1/24/2008 11:47:31 PM
Reading some of these posts it kind of makes me realise that I have been so lucky with my car. It also just goes to show that if you look after something it will last forever. People laugh at me with my car, I'm obsessive about it, very protective and as such I drive very carefully, but people tend to say - It's just a vauxhall belmont, nothing special. But to me.... I didnt have a car for 3 years, forced to sell my car due to escalating household bills and a small income. Then I was given this car, in mint condition. I have a very high respect for the man who gave me this car, so I have a very high respect for the car. So this car, given to me at a time when I was getting desperate for my own transport, is my pride and joy.

I drive a 1986 Vauxhall Belmont which is in mint condition with a little over 19600 on the clock - genuine mileage. It has barely a spot of rust on it and to top it all off - it was given to me. So yes - I look after it. It gets washed at the very least once a month, if I'm not working too much during the summer at least every other weekend. The interior is kept tidy and there is never any rubbish left in it and nothing ever left in plain sight. She is my pride and joy.

Plane Crash At Heathrow This Afternoon. Posted: 1/17/2008 11:58:21 AM
In the world we live today we forget about the reasoning behind situations of an entire runway system being shut down for (and here I'll use caps to emphasize the point) EVERYONE'S SAFETY. A plane crashed on a part of the runway out of the way - fair enough, but! Heathrow is one of the busiest airports in the world with other air craft flying over it, into it and out of it every moment of every day. Had that plane crashed, they'd NOT shut the airport, evacuated the passengers and crew, dampened down and then opened the airport an hour or so after the crash 'to keep flights going' and then that plane that crashed exploded due to some small smouldering spot, while another was flying over it to land or take off, it would soon have been the airports fault for not closing it. They'd have been accused of trying to make as much money as possible and putting more than one air craft at risk in their efforts. In the world's hurry to get places and do things, and lay blame and accusations we've forgotten the fundamental of it all. Always be safe. Fantastic effort, and complete wonderment from me at the skill, determination and will of that pilot and his co pilot and crew for managing to land such a massive air craft with only cuts and bruises suffered. I applaude those men and women!!!

Nope doesnt offend if I'm asked, they get the right answer then whilst they're marvelling at the wonderous size of my lovely puppies, I sit there thinking "since you had to ask, you aint never gonna get your mitts on em!" Fairly soon after they're blocked and deleted. I wouldnt ask it so I dont expect to be asked it. In fact I hate it when a guy gets pervy with me on IM. I find it totally off putting. There is flirting and then there is flirting. You wouldnt just walk up to me in a pub and grab my tits then ask my name!!!

Do we expect too much when meeting someone? Posted: 1/5/2008 12:11:18 AM
The main question is just what the headline says; do we expect too much when meeting someone? I feel that in some cases yes. Some of the guys I've met have immediately asked after and even during the first meeting if we're now a couple, admittedly I've then said yes but purely on the basis that I'd like to see where things head. My answer has always been yeh, we'll see how things go. Pretty non-committal really. But it just shows that the expectations placed on me by that other were that we would be a couple straight off and forever be happy...er....no! Lesson not to be repeated. They say that during the first meeting again and I'll be running a mile. So I now meet people with no expectations placed on them, I take that person at face value and learn about them, from them. As has been said - everyone is individual. I take each person and my relationship with them and visualise all the lessons I've learnt into a mental picture. Each lesson is a wall, each thing I dont want the new man in my life NOT to be is a wall and as he proves himself to not be each of these things I want them not to be, the wall related to that lesson and thing I want him not to be, falls. At the end of this row of walls there is me, trusting, faithful, loyal and full of love for that person who has been able to prove himself everything I dont want him to be, consequently - Everything I need.

I get measured regularly, just bought a new one yesterday, always wanted a bra that I could wear with any type of strap, strapless, one shouldered, halterneck, cross back, or normal, I now have one and I only paid £18! Dead chuffed!! I tried it on with a halter neck top that I hated before, now I have a fantastic looking figure in it along with my Trinny knickers! I used to get really bad back ache and sores where they rubbed my rib cage, but now I have none of those, just a great looking pair of puppies that when I show off, blokes just cant help talking to. lol

I've done that a few times, but mainly I get through the post and then think well most of what I've said just opens a whole other can of worms so I leave it. Usually best to keep quiet I feel.

My Fake Baby: Living Doll Posted: 1/3/2008 10:01:52 AM
ooo definitely not! too real its creepy. I'd love to have kids one day but so I can watch them grow into decent adults, be proud of their achievements, show them the lessons in their failures and generally allow to grow...not have a perpetual child sitting getting dusty...thats just wrong.

Do you enjoy your job or just watch the clock and wait for the money? Posted: 12/27/2007 12:02:47 AM
When I took the job I'm doing now, it wasnt the one I'd wanted to do. I'd wanted to go into insurance claims for mis-sold Endowment policies. When I'd discussed this job and the endowment job with my family in some detail and then got the offer of my current job I took it straight away. I'm now working in a call centre which most people would say no way to, however this place is different, it doesnt feel like a call centre, the people are great to work with and carefully chosen, even the managers are approachable and come out on nights out with the rest of us. There's a social life outside of the company in which everyone gets on, there's rarely any office politics and best of all....the company encourages you to train for other things and move on through the company. There are members of staff who have been with the company for many years and there are few companies these days that have that. So yes...I love my job, customers and all.

Living alone. Posted: 12/26/2007 2:10:44 AM
I love living alone but it does get lonely. Particularly when it comes to times of the year like xmas. I have to go to other people to get a xmas dinner other wise I'd be sitting at home on xmas day with beans on toast for my dinner, if I were with someone I'd have cooked the whole works. I do think though that my marriage failed partly because I'd never lived alone previously, I was the one that did all the housework but I think my ability to cope with my ex husband was impaired by the fact that I'd had no experience of doing it by myself. So anyway....all in all at the momentI like living alone, it's just a little lonely at times.

Well it wont even let me load to my profile either now. Just tried updating my pics and its timing out, just saying internet explorer encountered some problems, the usual screen when it takes too long to load. Wont load any pics on at all. I've checked my firewall, even turning it off completely and its not that, checked all the internet settings, dropping pop up blockers, ad blockers, phishing filters and setting all security on all programs connected to internet browsing to nothing and it still wont load. I have no clue why its doing this at all.

This must be an awful time for you OP, I have no suggestions or experience in this kind of problem but I hope you find the local support and help that you will need and that your child grows up a happy and healthy young man as a result. Good luck and remember you're never alone.

*Ipswich/Colchester Skate meet pics and comments* Posted: 12/17/2007 10:29:59 AM
Hi Jesty! Really sorry to hear that you hurt yourself, I've seriously not seen an injury at the rink in a long time. Well folks for some reason the site isnt accepting my photos at the moment, I've put the question to the mods and there have been others reporting the same problem so hopefully it'll be fixed fairly soon and we'll be able to show what a great time we had.

The system isn't letting me load up the pics at the moment so I'll have to try again later. Fingers crossed! Messages this short may not be posted...yeh right

Well, I dont know about the rest of you but I ache! Had a great time, with the few that did turn up, had difficulties with the rink as camera's were banned because of the data protection and that they have children under 13 there of an evening, but I managed to get a few photos of those that came. All in all a very disappointing number of people but a fantastic group they were!! I think in the end there were about 10 people who actually came and said hi and joined us skating. Kavern...Fantastic effort mate!! For someone who has never been on skates in his life and was really quite apprehensive about it, you did a great job! Heidi (fitbird22) and Dawn (01dawnie)...You were great girls!! Helping Kavern and Gary round and you not being that steady anyway! Class! Loved meeting you. Kate (suffolk kate) and friend (I'm sorry, I know you said it but I'm dreadful with names!)...It was really nice meeting you, great effort on the rink! Gary (Bunwell)....well what can I say!! Fantastic effort, twice round the rink clinging on for dear life! lol It was great to see you try! Danny (lostsoldier) ...Who knew you could skate! lol You were great and thanks for bringing your friend with you, she and I had a great chat whilst you were off speeding round the rink! lol And finally Dave (scrumpy)...First to arrive, and last to leave. For a first timer Dave you overcame all fears, sped round that rink with me and looked like you had a whale of a time, I certainly did! Last but definitely not least...Charlie. Well what can I say...lol We'll leave it at that I think Nah bless him, great effort, fell over twice but got straight back up and carried on, gotta love that. There were a few others that were there that didnt really join us but chatted a couple of times, Billy being one, not sure if his friends were with us but I think I scared the crap outta one of them by speeding past with my hand out pretending to slap him and pulling out at the last second. Sorry mate! Great skating though Billy! And there were a couple of other girls that came but I didnt realise until too late and they'd gone, perhaps a little too shy to make theirselves known...If there's a next meet, don't be shy!! You won't meet someone if you keep stepping back! So here they are, the few pictures I managed to get, I hope you all enjoy and have a great christmas.

hi Posted: 12/15/2007 8:47:19 AM
Kavern, I've not done a booking, it's just going to be a group of us meeting up at the rink and having a skate and a few drinks. If I did a pre booking, I'd have to pay for the booking itself and collect the money which is a big no no for this site. So, I'll be on the rink in my black t-shirt with my user name on the front and the initials POF on my sleeve, just keep a look out for me! Looking forward to seeing everyone there!

Advertise to everyone you know that we're going to be at Rollerworld and get them to come. Ladies, all those men that you've chatted to that aren't to your own taste, get them to come too, there's bound to be a woman there that thinks them dateable Lets try and get one last boost to the numbers and have a great time tonight!!!
