And The Game... ohfck.

I'm actually a bit depressed today, Toad. For the last three months, I've had a massive crush on a guy in my local supermarket am old enough to be his mother and the highlight of my day was popping in about eight times for some completely non essential essential items.

Until last night, a certain Mr Castis wasn't even on my radar (no telly). Today when I 'popped in' to said supermarket, I mentally compared very gorgeous checkout boy to Mr Castis - and found him lacking.

AIBU?

Just booked my car in for MOT and out pizzas in for DC lunch (Gotta love the holidays ) - thanks for keeping me entertained y'all

He looked very meth-addicted dodgy, Jess

Next week I'm going to try and enjoy my holiday without looking at properties, we'll see how that goes..

Toad that duplex has been taken as well :(

average. I have only just read through your previous posts (I'm a lazy bugger who tends to skip to the last page of threads & then frequently makes inappropriate comments).

For the last two years, I have had a lovely neighbour upstairs who was also a care-leaver. She's just moved in with her BF, and I miss her. It was actually a nice flat. You need to put your foot down and ensure your support workers find you somewhere you can feel safe and happy; it's so important when you are feeling vunerable. I too loathe the casual judgements estate agents make - I receive housing benefit, and get so fed up of seeing one after another advertised properties declaring 'no housing benefit'. Why? They haven't even met me, and at least they are guaranteed rent!

Try to keep your chin up. Something better will turn up. Moving house is traumatic enough, you need a place where you can come in, shut the door and feel you are 'home'. The very best of luck to you; keep us posted

I have thought of a more distinctive name for my new plaster cast venture
A chip off the old cock block.

Jess You don't get co-op divi with Aidy baby you know🙌

We are taking my Gran out to lunch. She had better behave herself and not be sharp tongued.

Portia True, very true...... How did you know it was Co Op ? There are three supermarkets in my town, just one I happen to frequent more than the others....

Sorry to hear that, Jess!

Oh no. So Mr Castis has taken the heat out of your hot romance with checkout boy. Bugger! Mind you, at least you can see checkout boy in the flesh. A boy in the hand is worth two in the bush, etc? Not sure how that works if you have a shaven-haven though

AIBU?

Of course not. You just want to keep getting a thrill every time you go shopping. Who wouldn't? Try and get the magic back into your relationship with checkout boy.

*Flirt a bit more than usual maybe?

*Stay away for a week, let the passion build and go in all guns blazing for some wet-wipes and tinned pear halves or something?

*Stay away from looking at Mr Castis. That won't do you any good now, will it?

*Transfer your affections to someone else IRL?

How did you know it was Co Op

Maybe the Co-op is known for it's employing hot-young-boys policy?

I do wish there was a like/love button for MN! (Wipes saliva off iPad)

thanks for keeping me entertained y'all

Thank YOU for your contributions.

Hope you'll stick around this thread :)

Jess I just had a bad feeling about the place, one of the staff said "well they'll be doing it up" but I still said I don't want it, I can be VERY headstrong

Great post to AGL, Jess

I don't understand these judgements either. It's completely ridiculous.

I don't get how it's okay to treat people this way and discriminate. Surely there should be some law against it? There must be loads of model tenants in the same position.

AGL sounds like a sweet, intelligent, quiet-living, sober young man. He sounds like he does more housework than me too (wouldn't be hard!).

That would be something worth campaigning about.

No hot boys in MY local co-op unless I'm in there shopping

Ooooo if only you lot knew ????????????

I can be VERY headstrong

Glad to hear it, AGL you'll need to be to survive in this world. It can be so unfair at times. You just keep plugging away. We're here for you.

toad. It would be extremely helpful to my future/non-existent relationship if a certain Mumsnetter would quit posting those pics....

Am completely crap at flirting. I'll give you an example from last week:

Hot Co Op Boy: 'What do you think of my new haircut?'

Me: 'Um, yeah, didn't recognise you at first' (followed by hideous phlegmy cackle)

Hot Co Op Boy: 'Looking good, aren't I?'

Me: 'Er....could I get a small pack of Golden Virginia, please?'

Utterly, totally, CRAP. I flogged myself after with birch twigs...

You're so cute, AGL :)

average. Good! You need to be! You have to have some sort of positive vibe about a place. My flat is tiny and the neighbours are NOISY, but, as soon as I saw it, I just had a 'yeah, this could work' feeling. I've been here five years! You will find somewhere; preferably with a bloody living room, too! You're not asking for the earth, you're asking for a home!

You should be on the stage, Jess or have a slot at the Edinburgh Festival or something :)

You won't get Portia to stop posting these pics any more than you'll get me to stop meme-ing all over the place. Ain't gonna happen!

Am completely crap at flirting. I'll give you an example from last week:

Okay. Let me rewrite that for you.

Hot Co Op Boy: 'What do you think of my new haircut?

(Remember - he is asking because he wants a compliment. So give him one. And don't forget the compliment while you're at it )

Hot Co Op Boy: 'Looking good, aren't I?"

Me: 'Er....could I get a small pack of Golden Virginia, please?'

(In other words, buy stuff that will get his mind working long after you've left the store!)

I flogged myself after with birch twigs...

Sounds kinky

MissEliza Joking and bonking aside, you will find the ladies on here very supportive.
Last week I was in a mess about PortiaTeen and they were really nice and helped me.

Where's SpecialAgentFrey these days?

And Bettercallsaul1?

toad I would have to drink the entire bottle of vodka before that would happen. At which point, I would probably have batted my eyelashes that much, it made me feel dizzy/nauseous and I would have collapsed/vomited on him.
