    So maybe all those bjs have made her jaw ache, hence her being quieter than usual on here.

    Yes very wierd - was hard adjusting at first.

    Its not that bad to be fair. I stay in hotels most of the week and am out of country for a good 2 weeks in the month.

    I'm really only here at weekends, hence not the massive need for a place.

    As soon as I can be sure the markets are not going tits up I shall buy a place. Almost bought one last year. Was due to sign on the Friday and contract was cancelled on the Thursday due to budget being cut. Bugger.
    And you're coming up to us on Saturday, so you won't even be there this weekend .... you staying or going to the land of Yorkshire?

    Caught the bastard on CCTV though - the brazen git!

    You are SB and I claim my 5 pounds sterling - and none of that "Bank of Clydesdale" bollocks either!

    Yep. But she is skint and I'm not.

    Yes she does own her own home. If by owning you mean have an interest only mortgage and an equity that is smaller and rising slower than my cash in bank amount

    I don't know, a bit of training and you'll soon reach those dizzy heights!

    Don't put yourself down all the time, reach for the stars!
