I went on a date today, and it was lovely.

I've had a really shit few years. Really shit. Had my heart broken, become chronically ill, just had loads of crap going on. Had given up hope of finding anybody lovely who would look past all my medical issues and see me for who I was, and be interested in that person. But today I had a coffee date, and it was brilliant, and I didn't want to leave to pick the kids up. And we're having lunch on Thursday. And even if things don't pan out, I would very happily be friends with him, he's really funny and thoughtful.

Squee.

Sorry, as you were. Just a bit of niceness on a Tuesday.

buckeejit · 11/01/2020 21:59

Aw, what a lovely thread ❤️. Enjoy the good times OP 😁

howdoesthisworkagain · 11/01/2020 22:02

Favourite thread of 2020. Lovely op.

Welshmaenad · 11/01/2020 23:13

@SavageBeauty73 if everyone's up for it and you don't think they'd be emotionally injured if things didn't work out, why not??

I'm holding fire a bit with mine but they're a bit younger and get attached to people really quickly, especially my 9yo. They're super keen to meet mine too though.

You've all been lush, so I wanted to pop back to tell you I had my first day of work today. It was amazing! My new manager and team are lush (I'm back at my pre-collapse place of work but in a different team) and it was great to catch up with old colleagues. I had a fabulous day and am so happy being back to doing what I love.

Relationship is also going amazingly well, he's lovely and I'm quite besotted. The day after I got the news about the job I came home to this which just about made my year!

That sounds lovely. What a morale boost!

Freeshavocado · 22/01/2020 19:34

Awww I'm so glad everything is going well OP!!

John470322 · 22/01/2020 19:38

This one of the best threads on here, I am wrong to say it is "one of the best" as it is the best. OP you are spreading joy and happiness and I thank you.

Lima1 · 22/01/2020 20:14

Op I have tears in my eyes with happiness for you. So delighted everything is working out. Enjoy life and thanks for sharing all this positivity 💖

aibutohavethisusername · 22/01/2020 20:16

Aww so happy for you. Hope it continues to go well.

Welshmaenad · 22/01/2020 21:11

@John470322 I have much joy and happiness to spare!

Just popping back to let you know that I am still stupidly loved up. The kids have met him and think he's awesome, and he took them out for the day in half term so I could get my regular treatment at hospital because their dad let me down.

He runs me baths, makes sure I eat, puts a blanket on me when I fall asleep on the sofa, and tells me every day that I'm beautiful and he loves me.

So glad I decided to give it one last shot before I joined a nunnery.

I missed this first time round, but just read the whole thread. I’m hormonal & anxious & had an unsettled day where I just felt off my game.

Op, you’ve really made me smile -x-

TightPants · 09/03/2020 20:41

I’ve loved this thread OP, go you! Grin

Bluetrews25 · 09/03/2020 20:51

Just seen this and read the whole story in one - it was like watching a timelapse of a beautiful rose opening.
So very happy for you - great to hear of lovely things happening.
Wishing you all the best with your relationship and your job.
Do we need to start looking for hats?? Wink

Welshmaenad · 10/03/2020 20:40

@Bluetrews25 he's sort of already mentioned that he'd favour getting married abroad. Paphos looks nice 😂

Freeshavocado · 10/03/2020 21:57
