lol I don't live that fair from Chesterfield! It's not much of a week abroad though....

I was thinking about this too. I'm definately going to wait until after the PhD but I don't want to wait too long after that. Going into industry, not sure how long would be a good idea to wait, maybe a couple of years...?

A little bit off-thread but do people think they would be disappointed if their child(ren) didn't reach similar academic achievements as themselves? I can forsee myself as one of those pushy types making sure my kids are doing well in all subjects but particularly science and maths.

Thanks Jenny, that sounds great too. The problem is there are too many amazing places to visit, it's getting difficult to make a decision!

HangSeng, I have been to HK previously, was hoping to go somewhere that was new to both of us.

Not an arranged marriage as most people would think of it. The term used is "approved marriage". Basically, my parents prefered me to marry someone from our community, therefore having a similar background in terms of family, traditions etc. So I had lots of people introducing me to such guys and had to go on many many many blind dates - if we didnt like each other, no one was forcing us. Luckily I found the guy in the end!

Yes therefore you must be DanB?

Yeah I think so, I still think Morgan and LauraB are both the same person.

Lots of Green & Blacks from me

HangSeng is definately NOT DanB. I thought it was at first too but the times of the postings did not always coincide with DanB being online.

Let's leave poor HangSeng alone! lol

and nor are you minging!

Awww, DJ, he sounds like a nasty piece of work. It is better than you found out now what he is like and not after he has led you on for ages. This is not how a friend behaves.

You DEFINATELY are NOT old nor on the shelf. You just need to find the right person for you! You sound like a lovely person, it's a shame that these guys try and abuse that.

Oh no DJ, you poor thing.

DanB saw your post and he sends a massive hug and hopes you feel better.

xxxxx

I think Morgan and laurab are the same person.

Just to show no hard feelings Pea, I would recommend these

Wow a swimming pool, I will have to visit him soon.

hmmm, well I'm not ruling it out.

Maybe we can just do the week in Maldives and have a couple of weekends away in this country later on when wedding season has finished....
