Up A Gumtree?

I love Gumtree. It's great for a number of reasons:

• It has a swaps page: you would not believe the random stuff people will swap - cars/toys/bananas (ok so maybe I'm exaggerating here) the point is its random

• It has a personal ads section. I love personal ads. I think its hugely interesting to see what people think is a good idea to post as a description of themselves. I remain horrified however at the the number of people who no longer use 'real' English to communicate.

On a different note - things are still progressing with the ex and his new love interest. She smacked him about over the weekend when he tried to wrest a BB gun from her. I kind of hope they sort it out. They are both pretty competitive and it might make for an interesting relationship. We've fairly firmly established that there is jack-all left between us and since I'm not really the kind of girl to worry moon after the uninterested, he has unwittingly helped me slice the ties.

On a much sadder note, UK people may have seen the tragic story on the BBC new this evening about a sail boat that they think was run over by a P&O ferry. One of the guys who was killed was supposed to be an usher at my boss' wedding in two weeks time. It really sucks and my thoughts and prayers are with him and their families at this time.

God Bless.
