    I'm agreeing with the others there @66Mustang there are ways of doing things and that certainly wasn't it. 😉

    @Albus_Scope

    Sorry if you or anyone misunderstood but I wasn't trying to say that he was doing things in the right way. I did say that I thought he was doing things wrong in my post (in fact that's why I was upset in the first place) but maybe I didn't make it clear enough

    I do know in myself that I am looking for "the right person" and not just "a partner" and I guess as long as I know that then that's all that matters??

    Thanks so much to @Marydoll5 and the others for being so kind and understanding 😊 ❤️

    That sounds awesome about the driving but a long way from Northern Ireland. 😮 I'm guessing your son is in London??

    No @66Mustang it's my fault, I'm not wording very well today, so apologies! I was agreeing with what the others had said to you. 😊

    We just went for a dog walk but about 2 mins from home the skies opened with hailstones which actually hurt my face!!! 😬

    I'm having some coffee now 😊

    Hopefully everyone else is having a nice day

    I've wasted a chunk of the day trying to find out what happened to a parcel that was supposed to be delivered ten days ago.

    Just had a delivery of medical supplies which I've been waiting for. All good apart from I didn't half smack my knee on my coffee table on the way to answer the door. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry and answered the door as if nothing as happened, and then cried out when I closed the door haha

    @rubin16 injuring yourself while collecting medical supplies is funny in a way, if that's ok to say 😆 that's how I would view it if it was me anyway 😊

    It should be fine. I am really clumsy so I bump into things alot and injure myself alot so it'll just add to the bruises I have. Its stopped hurting now but at first I didn't know whether to laugh or cry as it hit me right in the funny bone on the edge of the table.

    Sorry if my comment upset you @rubin16 I'm guilty of not taking things seriously when stuff happens but I shouldn't assume others are the same way and wasn't trying to say what happened to you is trivial if it's something that caused you pain. I hope it gets better soon though 😊

    You're good, I'm exactly the same and find the funny side to things. I always have a laugh afterwards after doing something daft. Last year my computer chair broke and I went flying backwards I found it hilarious after the initial shock.

    I just hit a pigeon while driving home from the shop, it flew into my windscreen. Luckily it didn't go through or even crack the window but I think the pigeon is having a worse day 🙁 I didn't see it in my rear view mirror and drove home wondering if I had a pigeon on my roof but it wasn't there when I got home
