One message on the dating site from a guy called Andrew in Manchester. It simpy says "hi". Now, call me Little Miss Fussy with a PHD in Pickiness, but on the Making an Effort Scale, this guy's not an Olympiad.Maybe it's the verbosity with which I am blessed ( ?) that makes me have certain expectations from emails...
Where's that delete button for my messages
Off to make the packed lunches, humous wraps and a pudding of banality for me please!

In The Beginning
What an auspicous date to start the diary on. A whole year since May 7th 2006 and a whole decade since the infamous May 7th 1996 - wow. What do you mean the dates mean nothing?
Having spent the last few months studying in earnest, I have a very elusive and rare commodity " Spare Time On My Hands" (and my arms and legs and all over, I am essentially bored). Once the kids are in bed it's Party Time except for the fact that we single parents know the most frequent guests in the household are Merlot and Television!
It's time to head back to the drawing board and restart The Quest ( capital letters are essential for an event of such magnitude!). The Quest is my sporadic interest in internet dating, now is not a time to fill you in on all the details of dates gone by ( that can be filed under the Compare and Contrast section when I reflect upon future dates) but sufficient to say that the longevity of The Quest and my existing dating profiles mean I am due an MBE for services to the dating industry.
As a single parent I accept that the challenge is even more difficult as let's face it most of us would rather find someone without kids and history but I am a great believer in " someone for everyone" and who know what's round the corner.....
The blog will be a cathartic way of me dealing with my days as Merlot and Television are feeling abused and accuse me of using them as nothing but sounding boards and apparently it's all
" take take take" from me! So a daily whinge/moan/reflection is my way of dealing with the day and also a way of me logging my ongoing dating disasters!
I'm off to resume the search.
Oh remind me to tell you about the BBC 2 application and the ongoing crush on my piano teacher who I suspect is gay.
Ciao
