Is it a bird?...Is it a plane... Noo it's one of the aerodynamic Shiney crew

[MitsubishiWarrioress]

So, here we are on the 63rd(?) thread...

Much intellectual discourse has been held...The big bang theory rewritten...thermodynamics hotly debated, the Election mused upon....

Alongside which, we coax, encourage, arse kick, tease, boost and cajole our way into a healthier lifestyle, with whatever 'diet' or exercise regime suits, and drinking more WATER (are we drinking our water ladies? )..

Please pay homage to our mascot as you enter the thread.

Anyway, where were we? The life and works of Aristotle I believe.....and over to you Total...

Hello all.

quick teabreak before I go back to the ironing.

Shiney - welcome back

Alice - v impressed re: no tea or coffee. I would be a quivering wreck without the kettle constantly on.

Defluff - sory to hear about dd.
FWIW I think you are very funny so your SOH can't be that unique

Vinny - my experiences with online dating:

1. Man who was using his wedding picture as his profile picture I thought at first he was the best man (just had him in suit obviously at wedding but bride etc cut out) when realised he was the bloody groom I ditched talking to him!!

1. Had one who I got really close to online, had loads in common, loved how he looked in his pics, found him really sexy but respectful. We talked lots and also by text. Went to meet him, mid afternoon in a pub for a drink. He met me at the train station. I was so excited, it had been lots of work to find a babysitter, exh had left couple of months before, I was scared to death but really excited. He was about 5'10 not 6'2 as he'd told me, he was wearing dirty clothes and didn't look like he'd made any effort at all, he didn't look anything like his profile pics. His accent was very very broad Dudley (not necessarily bad but a shock if you've not heard it before). He looked at me and said 'Wow you're fucking gorgeous' and then licked his lips

I spent the next hour chatting while trying to work out how to escape without being rude. While chatting he told me he'd been on the Vanessa show with his ex wife Apparently she took him on there totell him she'd been raped anyway...

Bitter - thank you! I love you now and may transfer my girl crush from BOF to you as she hasn't spoken to me for ages [pout]

Shines - I'm not sure, it just felt really weird, I felt like a twat for starting trouble in the first place but also like there was some weird undercurrent.It didn't feel nice if you see what I mean. I think there was a lot of disingenuity (and not just on my part )

Did I tell you DP chased colostrum round my nipples just after I gave birth? With a syringe while I squeezed??!

I thought you meant 'gushing' as in feeling all loved up, did you mean gushing in a different way?

Alice - are breadmakers good? Was thinking about getting one but not sure if it'll just stay in the kitchen.

Shiney, show him this.

Although it's likely he'll respond that you do no real work anyway...

continuation of dating story for Vinny....

I finally escaped and got cab home. Was devastated because the bloke I'd made up in my head (while dancing around to soppy love songs ) didn't exist at all.

I talked to him briefly when I got home on the chat thingy as he asked me if I got home safely etc. Then he sent me a message saying 'Met DF today she was lush but still got STacey on the go so think will keep seeing both till work out which one I prefer'.

This though gave me an excellent get out so I just sent back to him 'Don't think you meant that message for me. Bye'. Then I got about 6 vms off him crying and saying he'd 'chosen' me and he was so sorry, the message was meant for his female friend he was talking to at the same time and he didn't mean it it was just bravado, then his female friend range me and begged me to give him another chance he was a 'good sort' etc etc. Jesus. Put me off dating for life. Well, until two weeks later when I met DP.

Y'see that is where my meditating is going wrong then...can I be a tall, thin, pointy topped mountain?

Granny Murray.. A good enough reason never to have any more children if ever there was one needed......

Methinks some of the gushing might be deliberate to make you squirm a little Shiney

ours is in the frutility room. hot breadis lovly, can make good pizza. but is VERY bad for diets and waist lines. Saying that i fancy hot bread for lunch. if i could be bothered it would be a bad way to lose weight. but as i havent eaten breakfast yet and it is effort to move. i think i might have escaped. got exercise to do later, enjoyable exercise. looking foward.

will no doubt drive you mad later !

'just stay in the kitchen' God Im a twat!! I meant just stay 'unuse' in the kitchen. Although to continue the 9 1/2 weeks theme it could perhaps graduate to the bedroom, past the stairs. [flashback to when DP and I used to have relations on the stairs, rather than in bed, after 11pm, lights out missus, in out in out, err end.] Will shut up now

Defluff you seem in a better mood this morning. Is this the case?

Slugsy, it certainly is. Was in really weird mood yesterday. Think it was end of long three weeks with the talkative dd1 and the screamy dd2 and the stuff with DP (see squirrel thread in rel).

Also think period might be due, I get a bit angsty, cryey, moany and rage filled before hand.

btw whats ladder theory?

I was sooo relieved and gutted in equal measure when our breadmaker gave up the ghost.
It was a dangerous thing (but oh so bloody gorgeous to have hot fresh bread).

Have seen that thread now, have been off trying to do some work.

Hmm, all I can say is, umm,

hang on i will linky thread. ladder theory is used to justify a statement relative but can get jist from thread although it is a interesting but long read.

defluff linky here

Try...Ommm Lizzy.. it's not quite working for me but maybe some collective omming is what is called for.

I sometimes think irony is lost on MN. I get your sense of humour DF, but maybe because it is quite like mine, and I get shouted at on MN sometimes because people take me too literally when I am being ironic.

Learning to give less of a bollox about it though. Here is where it is at so ner... xx

Definitely good to see you cheerier DF...gi'us a snog and a hug to celebrate.

Defluff, Mitts is right, people are just not getting your humour, no worries.

Thanks slugs, will read with cuppa in a bit.

Mitts - you're totally right, I am taking it far too seriously at the mo and am a lot bit spikey.

Snogs for both Lizzy and Mitts

sits in the chilled corner. The one advantage to frost bite

Snogs for Slugsy too, that should warm you up

Got no sweeties in the house. Have just eaten a load of raw museli . I am DESPERATE for sweeties but dh away tonight (bliss) and kids asleep upstairs, so can't pop out. Do you think it's wrong to phone a cab and get them to go past an offy and pick up some chocs?

It's madness isn't it? I'll go an read my book for a while and see if the urge passes.

DeFluff your dating story is funny . Why would someone tell you they'd been on Vanessa? Surely that alone would make you run for the hills.
