Needless to say I did NOT go out in Billericay on xmas eve. For pretty much the same reasons you cite. Thing is, it's not just ex-boyfriends for me but ex-friends and ex-social groups. And I don't desire to catch up with any of them. My best mate from school is home from Switzerland for Christmas and we're meeting up today in London. We have massively anti-social tendencies in common. ;)
