Alice and Muppet; S-I-L knows how well online dating works..it's how I met her brother!!!
I had a really fun time flirting on line, whittled my many admirers down to a dozen or so, wrote privately and talked on the phone to most of them and met 4 of them... and darling, wonderful Dh was the "one"...though it took me a little while to realise it. I never had so much fun being "picked up" at clubs or pubs...and as for work, well, the straight to gay ratio is pretty much 50:50 and most of those that are straight think that they are Don Giovanni personified . I understand your reticence to tell new people about how you met though Muppet..Dh still says "through friends"...some people still think you must be a sad social misfit to use dating sites.. but that must mean that there are a frightening number of sad social misfits out there..and s-i-l is simply someone who married her first love so never did the dating "thing" even as a teenager and 20 years on, a tee-totaler with 2 children isn't going to get much practise in anywhere but the playground or scout hut except online. She didn't look too enamoured when I presented her with her profile and password but a friend did it for me 6 years ago and after my first reticence (well, since I met DH) I've haven't stopped thanking her since..fingers crossed we find someone more worthy of my sil than the rotter she has finally got rid of.
Mrs Fish, sorry LO is playing tippy tumbles at this stage, and at scan dept is being so stroppy..I'm sure it will right itself before long..Also condolences on the DH being away..yes control of the remote and a whole bed to yourself are at least some recompense...I get my DH back after 5 days away tomorrow but he is off again on Monday, comes back on Thursday and flies off to a stag do in Cologne for the weekend on Friday!(oh and guess who has been nominated to drive 4 of them to Liverpool airport at 5 in the morning??)Heaven help him if anything "happens" while he is away!
Hope all is ok Lisa
Glad all is ok with you too LES though sorry you are suffering so much..also glad Lisa can give your gorgeous Alfie a good home though sorry your new landlady is forcing you to part with him.
My news is that I went to the antenatal diabetic clinic on Tuesday and had a scan that showed Los tummy still a little bit too big but it hadnt grown any bigger than normal growth would expect since the last scan 4 wks ago and though on their graph he/she plotted quite big (70th-80th percentile) on the ordinary chart everything plots out absolutely average..so why they are wittering on about early induction I don't know. My bp is fine, the heparin is still doing its job keeping my placenta working, Lo was cephalic and practising breathing, my diet is pretty much spot on and in general I have kept my blood/glucose levels at a reasonable level ...they are just a little concerned because though I keep things on a even keel with diet and excersise during the day I'm not using much glucose up over night, but apart from going for a jog (yeh, sure!)when my bladder wakes me at 4am I dont see what I can do about that ....I did explain that this was not a good week emotionally for me and that as food is my opiate of choice they were lucky that things were on an even keel during the day too!!!
Oh dear ..I'm getting more than a bit me, me, me ...that is what happens when you are used to having either a computer or a Dh to whinge at but with one only up and running again today and the other selfishly working away from home I'm probably overdue a winge! Time for bed methinks.Hope you all get a decent sleep for a change tonight
