To be totally fekked off i have a babysitter and have been blown out

[fairyfly]

I am utterly utterly sick of men, all types. They are all unreliable titwanks.

This is my friend from college, just a friend!!!!

It happened last month with an old friend ( who was a man).

It seems the women in my life are the only ones who keep promises.

My children have gone to my parents for the evening, i am sure a lot of you would love that, but it's pointless when nobody wants to play >huge sulking emotican<

I know nobody else who can get out tonight.

Completely sympathise. It can be a huge task to get childcare organised, and I hate last minute cancellations.

Was it a good excuse at least? Would you consider going to a film on your own? I've definitely done that in the past...

No excuse at all, text ignored and not answering the phone, i wouldn't mind but he asked me.

I am a slight control freak when it comes to things like this, i would have gone out with my children. Certainly wouldn't have planned to sit here and grump.

Hmmm, i might go and see a film on my own but not on a Saturday night, it would just wind me up. Aren't you good doing that!

Shame you are the other end of the universe, otherwise I'd go out with you FF. In the mood for a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiig night!
Sorry your friend stood you up.

Is he historically unreliable?

I can't see that you should blame yourself as a control freak - who wants to be treated this way? I'd be unhappy too. Anyone would be. Over the past few years I've got rid of alot of 'friendships' that make me unhappy. Do you really need this friend?

I'm good about going to movies on my own when I've got the babysitter and think it's too late to cancel. I feel I can't send her home as she's counted on me - and maybe turned down other jobs/plans.

Can completely understand you not wanting to go out on your own on a Saturday night though.

As single mums they tell us we need to have time on our own away from the kids, but sometimes it seems like too much trouble!

Isn't it Bugsy, oh well, get a taxi

He is unreliable, i will probably get the mn police after me for this but he is married. He invited me to join them all at a party they were going to. Who knows, perhaps his wife doesn't want me there. I get paranoid about all of this and think people will assume i am trying to shag him since i am single. But the truth is, i sit next to him everyday at Uni and i am trying to get a different social life going.

We get on really well but not at the weekends or evenings when he is back home.

Aaaahh - so there is some subtext to the situation. Do you think he's interested in you as more than a friend? Have you met his wife?

Can completely understand how hard it is to make a new circle of friends. Could you go to the party with someone else/on your own? Then again, I know how much courage it takes to walk into a party by yourself.

No, he's not interested in me, i'm not interested in him, yep i've met his wife, she's lovely.

Nooooo, wouldn't go now, obviously a reason why i am being ignored and i'm not as brassy as i used to be. Grown up a lot. Want peace and happiness.

I'm only paranoid because of other peoples comments, not because of my thoughts or his. We just get on well and have a passion for what we do.

I do understand though that i am not his priority( why should i be!) i just don't want to be pissed around by anyone anymore.

I have a cousin who does that sort of thing. She'll say something that I think is definite, and then I count on it and plan accordingly. She almost always lets me down and then wonders why I'm so cranky.

I am slowly learning that some people view things much more casually, and that I cannot count on her.

It isn't a nice feeling though. I think you probably just have to enjoy him in the moment, and not make plans with him.

Story of my life Earlybird x

Oh, honey. All dressed up and nowhere to go...

...me, I'm having a very glamorous time trying to work out if dropping cranberries into my vodka counts as one of my five a day

Oh i miss you Mi xxxx

I've decided it does

Don't hold back with that thought,,,,,, what the fuck is vodka made out of..... i'm sure it's organic

potatoes?

Wonderful things, potatoes. Chips and vodka.

Yes, you never call, never write, mmm

from this website:
www.physics.uq.edu.au/people/nieminen/vodkamore.html

Most vodka is made from cereals. Traditionally, rye was most used, and is still the main ingredient of most Polish vodkas. Wheat is the main cereal used in other countries. Other cereals such as oats and barley are also used.
Many people believe vodka is made only from potatoes; potatoes are used, but are often regarded as inferior raw materials. It is more difficult to make a good vodka from potatoes, but it can be done.

Nothing wrong with inferior materials, dammit.

especially if you can make chips out of them

It's made out of your five a day, you ignorant lot, no wonder i breast fed with all the vodka i had in me, wonderful mum.

Sykes, i do.

(well i don't write, god i miss the old days)

I really desperately need a husband

FF - how are you feeling today?

Did he ever surface with any sort of explanation/excuse?

Easier said than done, but I think you have to protect yourself from people who can't be counted on. Enjoy his company at school, but leave it at that I'd say. Find people who mean what they say.

No....... no contact. Will leave it for college and just realise he's not to be relied on.

Had a good evening on internet dating site though!

Helping me move on for the twat formally known as my boyfriend.
