        Oh, how did the date go? Have you already spilt the beans? Did I just miss it?
        Yeah, ditto, they just don't understand.

        Hm, well it went Ok ta. Ish. I am still a bit baffled really, as the bloke was already a mate, so it was always going to be a bit....odd.

        So it was all totally fine and nice and a bit flirty but generally nice and chatty and relaxed and ooh touch-your-arm here and giggly flicky-hair there.However, he has been a bit, well, OTT since then and I'm already a bit - blah.

        I'm rubbish at all this.

          I have one handbag the one I bought recently was to replace one that was falling apaprt after 5 years of use) and there might be a smaller formal one lurking somewhere. But that is all.

          I'm not a big fan of shopping either, I tend to wait till things fall apart and then buy the same thing again on ebay

          The last time I went proper shopping was about 6 years ago with my gbf (gay best friend).

              I do have the expensive makeup bag of doom, I had heart failure when I clocked up the value of the stuff lurking in it.

                  I lied, I realised I have another pair of knee high boots and 1 other pair of formal shoes.

                  but I do have about 100 or so and counting...... cookbooks.

                    Blah after one date isn't good.... is it "blah" I don't fancy him or "blah" I just can't be bothered with anyone?

                      Yeah, same here - but you should never do that, remember that the value of looking priddy is higher than any monetary value.

                      I am a total sucker for posh packaging and always fall for it. Although I do maintain that it is worth spending as much as possible on eyeshadow, as the pigment is better in more expensive brands...
