Stupid ex left the bedroom window open one night, she jumped out and fell 3 storeys, ran off and I never saw her again, and I did everything to find her-went looking everywhere for days and put posters up Still suspicious he did it on purpose the fecker, he never did like her. Most unusual Irish name-met a guy called Ushna once(sp?). He was hot. Met a Sadhbh and an Oillín-think it means little fairy or elf. Damn hippies (actually I love those names)
