<t>I LOVED this book! It made me laugh and cry (a lot) I missed the characters once I'd finished the book! I'd recommend it for sure. Contrary to the title, this book is NOT a science fiction book, and time travel is simply used as a platform, to explore relationsh...

<t>I once dated (unknowingly) a married man for a number of weeks. I met a man, who seemed lovely and genuine, and was a helicopter pilot in the army. He came across as open and honest, and not at all pushy. He said that had been married young and had divorced his wife. We went on a few d...

I've found that my body/ hormones have changed every 7 years, or there abouts. It's defo harder to lose it as you get older, but I wonder if it's more change of lifestyle.

I found it easier to diet, when i earned less...... I was really skinny as a student!:wah:

Half past 12 this afternoon. My bf is working from home to keep me company because I'm poorly.

I do a 37 hour week.
