My online time has seriously shortened, but I'm not missing it.
Last week Mina was away so I had no real need to log on.
Having a life offline is wonderful.
Online friends are wonderful too, but you can't beat RLand
I am sure it's not going to be all plain-sailing, but it does feel more like we are becoming a family...which is what we all need, I suspect.

I am continuously amazed at what a and can do
How are you? I'm sorry I haven't spoken to you in a long while. Anything happening in your life just now I should know about (only if you want to tell em naturally )

I'm fine, enjoying my respite-time.
It's so peaceful and quiet in my house, it doesn't feel right!
Going to bingo with my daughter tomorrow night
*fingers crossed*
Nothing else worth gossiping about
Waiting for someone special to come along.

Bingo? Really Cool.
I should be elsewhere this weekand, but can't.
Is Mina going to AT after all? Not been keeping up on who is or isn't going.
All will work out well. Respite time? Was A in bed or away just now? (assume that's what you mean when the house is quiet)

Mina didn't go in the end.
I get one day/night a month respite, my son goes to a foster family to give me a break.
Except for when he's at school, that's the only break I get.
His father never bothers, even though he lives in the same town.
Last month, the foster mum couldn't have him 'cos she went on holiday herself.
So this month I got 3 days/2 nights.
It was Heaven.
Just heard the "Christmas" meet-up isn't till January 26th.
Didn't win at Bingo either, but we had a good night.

I wasn't sure. Thanks for letting me know. I thought it was something like that.
Yes Jan. 26 & I'm working. Must see about getting a swap for that weekend. I have to come down for that! See everyone again.
Was thinking of having Scottish meet on 24th Nov, since London now in Jan. What do you think?
Glad Bingo night was fun despite not winning. How is everything else?

Damn I'd love to make the Scottish meet
Everything else?
I've worked all week on my Cleethorpes entry and also finished the seti@home entry.
My bedroom walls are still bare...I really *must* get around to painting them.
Half-term looming, I really must do the painting.
Really.
If I say it over & over again I might convince myself.
Must do the painting.
Must do the painting.
Oh well, think about it on Monday.
Are you by chance going to be watching any football this afternoon?

Babel17 Posted Oct 6, 2001
No doubt it will be on the telly here at work (not a football fan, myself. Prefer rugby.)
So does that mean you can't make 24th Nov then?
Must reread the Seti entry, as long as this silly access stayes ok and doesn't drop me out again, or work gets busy. Bleaugh still trying to catch up on 2 days worth of backlog. Poo.

I'll try....anything to take thatoff your face and make you
I have to ask the foster mum if she's prepared to take him on a specific date, I usually have to work my social life around her.
2 days backlog?
I'm still working through last weeks Keeper title requests.
You should see that list now!
Well over 300 Keepers....

indeed!
Well if you can make it, great, if you can't hey ho. I have a feeling I may be anyway. Always good to go out and have a few with friends, guaranteed to put a on my face. Until the photos appear

Galaxy Babe - eclectic editor Posted Oct 6, 2001
I have no worries about the photos
Everyone knows what a flirt I am
Well we can't help liking ourandcan we?
And if people are loose with their cameras...well
I certainly look forward to the meets
Keep me going the rest of the year...

Oh I don't mind being photographed having a good canoodle it's the ones of me pulling really stupid faces that I should really avoid.
I'll just have to keep a straight face at the next one, or be kept occupied so that people don't want to photograph me
Flirting's fun and you are right we can't help liking our and . We are people
I love meets, just wish I could go to more of them
