What's the problem?

I posted onto Twitter that I went out to my favourite place, the Haddington Railway Walk, again this weekend. I was with Jimmy and Stacey and that afterwards we went to the Longniddry Super Fry (again!) and had fish and chips.

Adam

What's the problem?

I have been going out with Peter for 9 months now and we've started sharing passwords for our Facebook accounts.

Carol

What's the problem?

I posted on to Facebook that I finally got the new job at the Nandos at the Fort! I was so happy to finally have a job but I also posted that I don't like the manager from my interview as he was quite full of himself

Maxine

What's the problem?

I play online games quite a lot and I have met this guy who is quite good at Halo. I used to love Halo so I suggested we become friends on Xbox Live. He now tells me that he wants to meet up with me so we can discuss tactics when playing together online.

Jake

What's the problem?

I always check my phone to see what my pals are up to as I don't want to miss out on something that they are doing.
