lovely update, your kids have done you proud making the most of life! There certainly is alot of coming and going in the Soapy household. Funny the BE thing you mention, i have met no real friends through it:ohmy: when going to the meets i felt like the granny, maybe its a mlbourne thing that the peeps are younger, i remember when someone was arranging a mellie meet they had the cheek to put no one over 40, otherwish they would be as well socialising with thier mum:sneaky: cheeky ******!

The last year for us has been the best, for me its coz at long last i have made a couple of good mates throug work (thier ozzie though, but you cant have everything:lol:), and for anyone out there , they would find that funny and rib me for being a scot (and to get me swearing they would mention the fact i cant speak english:lol:)

Wow, that 7 years has gone by quickly.
At first, looking at the title to your thread, I thought you were thinking of coming back. Should have known better :p

:beer: to the next 7 years.

y'know Mags. the meets are not for everyone. i love them, but i could talk pish to anyone as you all know and i do love meeting new people. Pen is right when she says she doesnt like them. there are just not for her, but to give pen some credit. she does attend one now and again. i'm sure other people take a lot from posters who have been on here for years attending meets even if they dont get to meet them.
so glad life is getting better pal, theres nothing worse than living somewhere that makes you unhappy

(meets i mean, not young people, lol)
