I'd better add myself to this, I'm from Poole. Married for 32yrs with two boys aged 24 and 25. The eldest is at college at Upton House, just by Twizz. I work in a hospital, full time, but with shifts I can be around a bit in the day. I've only lived here for 3 yrs. I don't have a dog! What else was I meant to say? Look forward to meeting some of you when it's warm!! Suex

Penny Report 16 Feb 2005 16:30

Well we have some time to play it by ear, I have a dog so a walk could be one idea, depending on the ages and abilities of those willing to meet up. I ll try and get to know those on here from the area and take it from there. Not sure how old you are but I m in my 30 s (and thats all i m saying)
