marking my place - and about to go and make a mushroom omelette for supper ...

Saw the infidel last night - quite amusing and Omid Djalili very funny.

Been chatting a bit to bluebeard - who told me i have spirit and don't hide behind a world-weary mask - shows how little he knows me, eh?

hi just marking my place (no 20!!)

Had busy weekend with work yesterday morning and dcs.

Def think I have SAD because with this weather I feel 100% better and more positive. Have also enjoyed the break from dcs over the easter hols (prob had about nine nights off out of sixteen).

I have gone out most nights, caught up with friends, drunk too much and had fun with a capital F.

Still glance at the dating sites but am not talking to anyone.

sm - enjoy your date

belle - ok.. i'm against the grain here... but i wonder if he's too laid back for you in the contact. as you do seem a bit up and down with where you stand due to his contact. which we have discussed before on here isn't healthy feeling.

asbm - i seen motorola last night. he popped over for a dvd and headed off. just a wee visit.. as i get used to this not smoking i def notice i am liking him more again .. i think on sat he was just in the firing line for my terrible temper i was having with quitting oh.. and on sat i met 1 of his friends. nice friends. agree with what you say about meeting friends and family are a good indicator.

sm - have you met any of his friends.??

betty - what you doing with goggles?

kdk - bluebeard... so he's expecting a fiesty opinionated date then?

oh... and forces....still trying to get back on my good side

not read end of old thread so hope have not missed owt
do you really put your washing away the same day you do it, always?
to be fair I have decorated dd's room today (only took 3 years to get to) and i have strimmers wrist from all the gardening I've done
but the washing is still piled on a chair and the ironing is bursting out of a cupboard
we get a few hand me downs which is nice but I think i need to be more selective as I can't keep up with all the clothes they have
am v bad at decluttering
wonder how sm1 is getting on
bluebeard sounds a bit of a smoothie kdk
Must go and do college work now

good luck Lou, let us know (or get bf!) how it went!

@ ninah, am not sure - spoke to him on phone yesterday - think some of it is act - says he's had 11 relationships - including 3 marriages and 'liaisons' - if being honest, not exactly player material ... am trying to keep open mind ie not jump to conclusions or big it up into something it isn't - though did say that chance of anything (untoward) happening given our relative geographical locations and fact we have five children under age of 10 between us and no live-in help, seems pretty remote!

kdk if you've got onto phoning now then you must be interested a bit?but hey like juicy said omg all those kids!!

kdk · 18/04/2010 21:28

Asbm - am a bit interested - just - maybe a bit dubious - but hey, would be more than happy to be proved wrong .. but like I said - too many kids - and he's got three more that live with his (first) ex! They're pretty much grown up though - eldest is 18 and others are I think 12 and 15 though could be wrong ...

Kdk - you're def sounding interested

Juice - all ok now then?

SM - I hope you took a cardie (lol) was out earlier and it turned ffffffreezing!

Hi Belle Ninah SCL and everybody.

Houseviewing was meh. Doll's house person was driving off as I got there I was 10 mins late, had gone and picked up dp, he drove, stopped for petrol etc grrrr. Other house horrid lol. (But I knew that).

Good luck with the op Lou!

scl-glad to hear your feeling a bit brighter, I know a couple of people who suffer from that SAD.

ninah-dont worry i still havent put my washing away and mine was from yest lol im v bad at decluttering too although Im aiming to have a big declutter soon!

juice-i think motorola still sounds like a goodun, and as for forces

asbm-i always seem to spend child free time cleaning! think its cos its the only time they arent right behind you messing it up again!

I've just been asked for a drink by someone else now lol, been chatting to this bloke on fb for a few months now. will call him boilerman, he seems nice didnt think he was interested but his messages have got more frequent this week, think it might have been cos he was working away and now he's not. we shall see, is worth a meet anyway!
