You should dump someone at least once in your life Katie....it's very empowering....makes you feel for a few moments that you are in control of your life and emotions, before collapsing into a tearful wreck on the sofa with a box of Kleanex, bottle of Chardonnay and a Brigit Jones DVD.

Empowering? Really?? I always came away feeling like I was a complete bastard, even though I was generally doing the right thing and calling a halt to something that was absolutely doomed anyway.

What Loz said. Dumping someone is never easy and can sometimes be quite painful and embarrassing. In the past I have often become very unreliable in a relationship that clearly wasn't working so that eventually they dump me. It's a lot easier that way and they may feel they've got one over you. But they haven't. But only you know that.
Unreliability can be hurtful too but it does kind of give clues. If a relationship is right then it's easy. Too many people hang on in relationships that are going nowhere or doomed and then wonder why they get dumped. You just have to be honest with yourself and never think you can't feel that way about someone else.

Oh that's where it went. Can I have my alarm clock back now please?

Well it could have been worse. She could have quoted Bono: "A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle".


Count yourself lucky.


(And before anyone says it, I know that was originally Irina Dunn, not Bono, but I was just trying to keep the popstar continuity going....)

I was once dumped for turning 30. By a fellow I didn't realize I was dating. He said it was moving too fast, and that my ticking biological clock was now a gong. He was scared that we would be shopping for furniture soon.


He ended by saying "It's not you, it's me".


Uh, thanks for clearing that up, freak!


He then married and knocked up the next girl he dated within the year.

    • We have had a few cat flaps over the years but none have been electronic. They just have a small clip that you turn to lock or open.  Some come with a magnet and a matching magnet that the cat wears on its collar  This prevents other cats entering.  I've not used these as I don't like the idea of a cat wearing a collar. Cats do like to be out at night and you need to encourage yours to return after a late evening sortie. Calling,rustling treat wrappers worked for ours but he seems to have now got into the habit of coming back about 9pm. without this.        
    • Having had several cats over the past 40 years - mainly rescue, we have a tried and tested routine, Initially confined to one room with litter tray/food/water - we take it in turns to stay for a few minutes several times a day so they become familiar with our scent. They are gradually introduced to the rest of the house. We have a wire cat basket and we place cat in basket and take them outside, over a few days we place basket in different areas of the garden - grass area/gravel area, patio area etc - different flowers/plants. Some of the more nervous cats we walk around the garden on a lead. They get use to the scent of the garden. We have a cat flap in the back door so they have full access - If we need to keep cat in - just block off the cat flap so they cannot escape! We are now down to one elderly cat - who during the summer just laid on the garden chairs and came in for food, but as weather getting colder prefers to sit on a worktop in the kitchen looking out into the garden. So we are back to the cat litter as she is reluctant to go out in the rain/cold.  
    • With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible.  If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better.  I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile.  I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room.  I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.   
    • I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.
