Neigh craft.......that'll do.

[carmalee]

suitable chastised - got it wrong and was never serious so cheer me up you guys (terrible thing for a pensioner to say)

[McMouse]

Glad you didn't bridle at the posts carmalee.

[carmalee]

no but I'll be saddled with the a result

[McMouse]

Sounds like you'll tackle most this carmalee.

C'mon carmalee it was just a joke. Blimey if they put you out to pasture they'd definately put me out there with you. As for shutting up shop well we know you havent but the notice round your neck says 'Closed' if you can turn that around you'd be in business.

Jemima's got the bit between her teeth.

[carmalee]

and we all know how easy it is to run away with an idea

Do whatever you want, carmalee - my sister is a great example, she was widowed a few years back, has now met a lovely guy when neither of them were really looking (which is always a good way to do it), they've just come back from the Cape Verde islands.

[carmalee]

thanks Boxtops - really nice story - hope they make each other happy
- it's funny how 'man of my dreams' has been picked up on - it was only put in as 'another' - not really serious - must be typecasting - elderly lady looking for fullfullment - can't be achieved without man.
Docspoc -my snorkel is one to behold.

Be the first person to take a horse scuba diving?

[carmalee]

Mrs o - love it - will do if I can

[Twirls]

How about offering to pet sit / house sit. You get to meet new people, stay in different parts of the country, work with animals etc or is that all a bit too tame?

[carmalee]

thanks Twirls - have been doing that now for a while and it's great - have a hankering for doing something really different (silly old woman - get a grip) - lets see what pans out

[starone]

Professional dog-walking might be an option. Or if you really want to meet the man of your dreams you could go on a singles cruise. They do them especially for divorced and widowed. Doesn't matter how old you are.

[boxtops]

... and if you don't meet anyone, you'll still have a really good holiday in the company of other single folk, which can be quite liberating in itself!

[anneasquith]

whatever you do, i hope you have a great time :)

[carmalee]

thanks for all the replies - really, 'the man of my dreams' was just an add on - wasn't the focus. Am very happy as a 'single' -
