Kicking this off.

Hi BeautnotMag, 3rd date sounding promising and can see you are keeping your options open.

Flame Carrot is annoying me too.Surely he must realise that he is giving off completely mixed messages.

Abouteve i have logged off of fb before gone back online and messages in chat from earlier have popped up.I have genuinely not seen them but have managed to upset a few friends who thought i was being rude.

Remotew · 01/10/2010 15:51

Yes this has happened to me but I left it a bit and went back on for a while and he was still there and didn't say anything!

BNM Grin Envy

Flame wtf carrot Hmm

Sponge, would say ask him out but if it backfires it'll make the party you mention uncomfortable, so am with Eve on this one

You definitely need to be with us on the 12th not at that do

I have had a fairly rollercoaster couple of days
On the plus side:
Have a date with RAF Monday eve and, following a v nice chat on the phone last night (he has nice voice) I am really looking fwd to it
My boss told me I have been accepted in a rapid high potential scheme at work which only takes a handful of people (our company is vast) so that considerably improves my prospects
XH has come good with a child free weekend next week (he had previously only planned to take dd1, I tactfully pointed out dd2 old enough to know when she is being excluded and would be devastated.....and he listened Shock)

On the -ve
Have felt poorly still since odd stomach cramps on the train on Tues and am knackered
Gmm has emailed to say he doesn't think we are right for each other Shock
Have got to discuss more divorce stuff this eve with XH....not my ideal for a Friday

Plus's outway negatives for sure but am a bit all over the place

to Monty, SCL, Elasta (glad dr date went well) Lou et al

mummyilubyou · 01/10/2010 16:39

I meant Flame re 12th, Sponge you are a definite aren't you?

BeauticianNotMagician · 01/10/2010 17:15

Mily Yay for date with RAF sounds like you will have a great time and congrats with regard to work.

GMM Shockwhat an idiot.Oh well on to the next i say haha.Sounds to be he is just embarrassed about his non performance but that's his problem not yours.

Hope you feel better soon.Perhaps a trip to the docs is in order to make sure everything is ok.

BeauticianNotMagician · 01/10/2010 17:15

Me not be

Flamesparrow · 01/10/2010 17:32

Glad you continued with RAF now! Woohoo for job stuff.

Carrot 'll work himself out eventually and in the meantime it is keeping the story going for you lot. atm he doesn't know a load of women online are talking about him. unless his sister is on here which could be embarrassing...

sod it! mate has just cancelled London! .

Flamesparrow · 01/10/2010 17:36

Oh and the party vs London... i feel like they've won if i don't go.

Flamesparrow · 01/10/2010 17:55

oh when i only reply to about three things it isn't personal... my memory is terrible. if i am on laptop i have two windows open so i read in one and reply in the other as i go but i can't on the phone.

lou33 · 01/10/2010 19:31

i need some kind of synopsis for all i have missed!

flame, why would you think that, and why would you go somewhere you know you wont enjoy?!

dont worry about what they think, do what you want to do, sod the lot of them!

Flamesparrow · 01/10/2010 19:38

Because I am insane. :o Wink

Ok. I will sort the money. I will sort XH to have Fri & Sat that weekend. I will come to the ball!

Synopsis...

GMM says they aren't meant to be, but there is a date with RAF on Monday and he has a nice voice.

MILY has good work things happening.

Um. Date with Dr went well.

Sponge's dateish thing was cancelled due to meeting cancellation.

lou33 · 01/10/2010 19:40

yes life is too short flame!

and thank you for that :)

dp is stuck in the hell of friday motorway traffic, which is hideous tonight due to the weather

i think it will be sunday before he gets here :(

and he is bringing the beer Angry

Flamesparrow · 01/10/2010 19:47

Oooh no!

lou33 · 01/10/2010 19:48

m3 has been shut for a bit, he just got by the accident and now the m25 is buggered

kdk · 01/10/2010 20:18

I am feeling very "poor me" - no man, no job, no money ... and due to bloody diet, no beer!

But sending you sympathy anyway Lou coz that's got to be really bloody annoying. Hope he gets home soon (and the beer of course!)

BeauticianNotMagician · 01/10/2010 20:30

Lou Hope dp isn't too long.I don't know which is worse no dp or no beer hmmm.

Kdk how is the diet going have you noticed any difference in clothes yet?

kdk · 01/10/2010 20:36

4lb off since Monday - but as usual is coming off my waist and face - whereas I would like my fat arse and thunder thighs to go! But early days so will stick with it.

Monty100 · 01/10/2010 20:40

MILY - well done on date with RAF and work. GMM?? Shock

Kdk - oh dear, holiday soon though. I've emailed pmg.

Lou - hope he gets down soon.

Flame - good synopsis, you're hired. Grin

Sponge - Sad at wm. Very frustrating.

Eve - is dd ok?

Beaut, have a good weekend.

BeauticianNotMagician · 01/10/2010 20:41

Kdk thats a really good loss in a week.Mine went off my chest first really not the place i wanted.Tummy is always lastfor me aaarrgghh.Are you excercising too?

mummyilubyou · 01/10/2010 20:43

Kdk, you look lovely in your profile pic

Unbelieveably, I don't feel like a glass of wine, tum feels too weird (definitely something wrong with me Wink), which, after run in with XH this eve is a shame cos I could really do with one

don't I sound like poor little rich girl re GMM, with RAF lined up as well. GMM wasn't 'the one' for sure, but I was really Shock at his note - guess I was being complacent

I need to get much better at talking to XH about the divorce stuff because I still get emotional about it and he keeps saying it is a business deal and it just isn't to me. I don't love him, but I do care and find the whole thing so Sad

kdk · 01/10/2010 20:46

Hi BNM, been walking 20 minutes a day and will probably swim tomorrow and Sunday.

I've just put in a claim for JSA (first time in 20 years!) mainly because I can then get reduced rate gym membership.

I love doing Pilates but really can't afford £12 a class until I find work again ... but will have to try and dig my old book out and practise at home.

Monty100 · 01/10/2010 20:49

MILY - sorry, I've forgotten back story . Try and see it as moving on? I know its shit Sad.

elastamum · 01/10/2010 20:49

Hi Flame, monty, kdk, sponge, lou, eve , lilac, scl,auroa, SCL and everyone else on here

MILY Well done on date with RAF!! Never mind about GMM, he probably couldnt cope with the stress of a return fixture Grin

Beaut Grin Envy.

Am off to see mum in the morning, she is quite cheerful although brother says he is worried by the rate her condition is developing.

Doc has been txt on and off today, mostly very cheeky, but has asked me to give him an update on mum when I get there, which is nice. He has worked in palliative care so gets what is happening with her. Still not sure what to make of it all but will def go for date no 2, but wont be until week after next as I just cant get down there.

Still, I figure whether he hangs around or not will tell me something about him

Remotew · 01/10/2010 20:52

Hi Monty, she is Ok thanks, sling is off but she is still holding it and has a big day and night tomorrow so hoping she can enjoy it.

Mily, GM Hmm say no more, glad you have plan B.

Night out for me tomorrow, looking forward to it but have a curfew, need to be back at the flat by 12.30! that might be a first for me.

mummyilubyou · 01/10/2010 20:57

hey elasta, good news re doc and ((((((()))))) re mum
Think your take on GMM is prob spot on. TBH, he was an odd one, never texted or called inbetween dates, just emailed via GSM. And back to while ago when I posted about there not being the spark, I prob should have left it there
