I had my own teeth.

Did you get the Egyptians wanting to offer camels in exchange for your passport everlasting love?

Cariad .....I'll raise a glass with and to you

Cariad

I was single living in the city and having a ball. Both parents alive. Sharing a house with 3 others working in a job I loved.

10 years on; Not single, not living in the city, a home owner Both parents dead. Working in a job that's a piece of piss but soooo boring.

Watched from day one on BBGF  from 2006 (boring job started).

I never started watching until the final weeks of BB3. BB4 was the first series i watched from launch night and despite popular opinion of it being a borefest - i was soon hooked!

In 2000 i was still single and having fun... but in 2002 that all changed and i had my life taken away! 

Have lost 1 parent over the past decade.

I could still go topless in 2000.

NO.... Karma what chuffin rooms where you going in???

I used to go in the '20's & single', '20's & flirtin', 30's & single, 30's n flirtin, rooms when sober...

when pissed I did sometimes find myself skulking around in the "30's & dirty" room...  or even the "whipped cream & leather fetish" room (ok.. that last one was based purely on curiosity! 

oh and I liked to go and tut at the people in the "married & cheating" rooms....

the internet as a whole was a life saver to me.

The loneliness & isolation that comes with being a single mum was often what drove me to be in crap relationships with crap men... anything was better than the loneliness.

then I discovered the internet.... the world could come to me... and I didn't even need to put on make up or make myself presentable!

I was just recovering from being made redundant for the first time. It was the first year with my boyfriend. We weren't living together yet and I was living in a flat off the Holloway Road with an ex.

Now I've celebrated 11 years with my OH and we've been living together for 6 years this coming week. Got rid of the ex from my life when I finally realised how emotionally abusive he was. And I'm in the middle of training for a new career as a counsellor.

I'm such a different person to who I was then. More settled and much happier.

The Grapevine one  Just normal chat - no rubber, chicks with dicks, erectile dysfunction or anything like that! I'd be talking about the Stereophonics and next thing the PM box would go ping and there'd be some pleb asking if I wanted sexual relations in broken English

awwww!

PC

the yahoo one was the funniest...    I used to play music though my pooter speakers and then forget to turn the sound down... 

I would jump out of my skin when all of a sudden there would be this mega loud "Ya hooooo ooooo" as a yahoo pm box pinged up!

Did you put on a Manuel accent?

*makes notes*

Don't go there Blizz, remember what happened to Brand and Ross!

You think I actually spoke to these people? I remember I got trolled by some loon called Lawless in London. He was completely off his nut. Said he was parked up on the M25 watching my every move (Didn't say whereabouts on the M25 like, what a rubbish stalker!)

people rarely seriously talked in the actual chatroom... infact they were usually spammed with "21 M Staines - Anyone wanna cyber" and such like! 

I had so many online identities I had to keep a log of who I met under what login! 

hahahaha!  my daughters bessie mates boyfriend is called Lawless.. and he lives in London.

However, he's only 18 now... so we were giggling at the idea that it was him... and back then he was 7 years old and when he said sitting on the M25, he failed to mention that he was on his Ninja Turtle bike in the back garden!

Pay rises?

The internet allows me to be me I guess. I still have huge issues about the way I look but online that does not matter. I did have two short lived flings in the first 2 years but I soon realised that given all the changes my kids had to cope with in their father's life (new, very much younger step-mum then two half siblings in quick succession) they needed me to be rock solid and reliable for them. They are 14 and 15 now - both bright, funny, articulate, sociable, morally aware kids. I'm not quite sure how but with them I did something right at last, even if everything else has been one complete feck up.  

Gosh - haven't we all grown up?

Dits

Daily Mail!

 Those traffic police get soooo bored....

2000 passed my driving test, i was 18 and engaged, lost a baby oh and him. here i am 10 years later still looking for mr right. (raf man int mr right hes never around). happy being me.
cant believe ive watched all bb's.

   I seem to have had such a sheltered life, I must try and find this forum .

omg! i went there once and some one asked me to pee on them.

yeah me too!


I usually say stuff like that....  but actually its bollox Cariad...    everyone makes mistakes... you either don't learn from them and repeat the mistake over & over again...  or you do learn something from them... and that turns them into learning curves 

From where I am sitting you've done good Cariad!  You've gone and made your life something you are happy with...    that deserves a bit of puffed out proud chest & chin held high! 

& turning out kids that you are proud of... that you have equipped to have a decent stab at life once they leave the nest...  HUGE achievement that came from a long hard determined effort!

I hope you redirected them to the extreme fetish room!  

Strictly squirty anchor on the leather sofa in this room thank you very much!

I had a 2 year old, was in my second year at uni and was working part time in the offices of a tyre factory.

oh if that's serious then....

i went to a tv room too, it was called soaps, i think, dunno why i went there , think i was zooming abut.

anyways  i said ' ello how are you all?' and this  gobby american called queen bitch put me on iggy for   talking posh... 

Good for zits  I understand .... is that why yours cleared up in less than a year? 

if i was inclined to oblige, i would have had trouble working out to  cyber do it...

yahoo chat was  bonkers.

ello my lovely,x.

I am sitting here trying to work out what greeting she would have preferred! 

Learning curves..? **pokes flabby midriff** I can live with that.  

It'd have buggered up your webcam for sure....
