Have 2 sander's. I am at this since beginning of January. I would be delighted if I thought it was only going to take 16 days although in fairness I only do it after work for an hour or two.
I had the bright idea to take years of paint off skirting and stairs. Now I am up to my eyes in nitromors, scrapers,sander's(2), steel wool and sandpaper.Every evening after work I work on it for a couple of hours and believe me it's a long slow process.I am sorry I started but it's too late to stop. I wish someone would hit me over the head with a sledge hammer next time I get a bright idea.
Everyone knows smoking is bad for you and the people around you. Some people are driving around in cars that are using enough energy to melt their own ice berg and then moan about smokers. they are the ones that annoy me.
I smoke. I hate smoking, but I do and that's that. I wouldn't mind dating a non smoker as long as they were not brain washing me about the dangers etc.

Hi everyone, been here for a while but have been very quiet and not really getting involved in what's going on. I am not long seperated and still feeling a bit shy and unsure about all this. So today is the day when I force myself on all you unsuspecting people. It's time I got myself out and about again and got myself a life.
So write back and hopefully I will meet up with you all fairly soon.
I know what you mean. I have just broke up with someone I was with for 6 years and he feels he has to text me and let me know all the details of his life since we broke up. I reckon if he had anyone new in his life he would not be bothered to text or call me. Anyway you do what you have to do, if it bugs you tell him, you two are not an item anymore. Lorraine
best age for a woman is when she is happy and confident with herself. that comes with age and living and loving. when she is no longer concerned about spots and lumps and bumps. (or lack of lumps and bumps). it's when you really don't care what others think because you are happy with yourself.
