ahhhhh

chilled white wine, DDs in bed, house to myself

'tis the simple pleasures......

Monty100 · 13/08/2010 21:04

Mummy - does he leave when dds go to bed? Enjoy your wine. It's beer o'clock here too. Smile

Monty100 · 13/08/2010 21:05

We'll be expecting you to regale the online action tonight. Wink

Remotew · 13/08/2010 21:34

I'm back from the meeting. He was nice enough, bought the first round and offered to buy the second which I said no. Kept offering me his coat when we sat outside. He seemed nervous but quite cute.

Anyway we might be going to see Toy Story 3 together and I think it's worth another date but won't be the romance of the century.

I thought I wouldn't like Turkey but I did. Fond memories of Turkish Delight. His invitation is still open. lol

Eve - glad you had a good date, if not the romance of the century. Must have been ok if you're seeing him again. You're back early tho. Was there any spark at all?
Turkey must be ok, it seems popular. I would probably give it a shot.

mummyilubyou · 13/08/2010 21:52

lo

Monty, he normally thins out at about 5.30 on a Friday as he has work locally in the evening - another reason why I tend to wfh because getting back from town or customers for that time. Stayed later this eve as that class is only term time - mixed blessing as you can imagine

am now ensconced on sofa (NOT marital Grin) with half an eye on Build a New Life...was it worth it - friend of mine on it and am being v nosy

anyhoo, have been taking babysteps on SWK, been through a fair few profiles and sent....wait for it... 4 messages emoticon. Heard absolutely naff all back Grin

meanwhile have had loads of broadcast messages which frankly do nothing for me

by the way, why do they think pictures of them shirtless is going to be a pull, when they are not in good shape??? Hmm

Remotew · 13/08/2010 22:17

Well Monty I was driving and it was Fri night. lol

Had several feedback text. First one saying what did you think, I thought you were hot!!!! Hey result. Will see him again as I want to see the film but must admit I was pleased to get the positive feedback so a good sign. Just think that he won't be my next DP.

mummyilubyou · 13/08/2010 22:27

Eve, that definitely counts as a result

oh dear, have just depressed myself ever so slightly watching my old friend on Build a new life.... handsome husband, new baby, beautiful famrhouse/barn conversion and get this, succesful vinyard...in Yorkshire fgs!
