Kicking this off.

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

Mily Is it too late to plan a nice day out for you all at the weekend to take the dds mind off the fact they aren't seeing their auny and uncle grr at exes why dont they think Angry

See how it goes tonight with RAF.You have sent him that email and that makes it perfectly clear where you stand.If he doesn't like it then quite frankly its tough.You can't control another persons feelings.I'm sure you will have a lovely evening.

Sending hugs your way.I would send chocolate too but maybe you could pop out for some Smile

BeauticianNotMagician · 06/10/2010 13:11

FairyLightsForever Hi.There is no way i would let your ex have DD for christmas as just to make one person happy ie him he will be upsetting three people you,DD and DS.I'm sorry I dont have a solution but i wouldn't allow that particular scenario to happen.My exp is having both the DS's this year from christmas eve late until late afternoon boxing day.We will do this alternatively as we can't be in the same place at all.

Sponge, he divorced 18 months ago and has residency of their 11 year old dd, who is a weekly boarder (Forces familes.....), so he has been there....which is also why I am rather taken aback by his enthusiasm. Trouble is, he is a senior officer on station, no wife to do the newtorking/socialising with the other families and no roots in the area so no local non-raf mates. Think he is lonely and hence very full on about me

elastamum · 06/10/2010 13:31

But MILY, you are lovely, how could he not fall for you. What you need to do is work out how you feel. But I agree, the pressure must be a bit Confused

mummyilubyou · 06/10/2010 13:40

Hi FLF, elasta, thx for the lovely, supportive msgs (and Smile BNM re choc)
Tapping away on blackberry makes me v slow and by the time I have posted there is new stuff I haven't commented on

Bnm you are right about the weekend, will do some nice stuff and is fine cos my girls are great company

The added pressure also comes from really stupid, irritating stuff at work with my (usually lovely) boss doing some really odd stuff so am having to bite my tongue there too

And then I have got the pils visiting tmrw eve for tea with the dds on their way to bil/sil's and the mood I am in I will have no patience to deal with my 'victorian' fil and his snide comments

elastamum · 06/10/2010 13:41

I will share some of my wispa bar with you Smile

BeauticianNotMagician · 06/10/2010 13:57

I cant help keep coming back and i am supposed to be finishing my essay.

DG is coming over tonight and i think i am going to have a talk with him about things moving too fast as like others have said i have the boys to consider and i've been so hurt and affected by my relationship with exp I want DG to be fully aware of what exactly he would be taking on if he were to have a relationship with me.

Flamesparrow · 06/10/2010 15:05

agree that the email is good and his response will say a lot.

Urgh @ Christmas and general xs messing about.

I am having random chatty texts from Boy who is off work sick, and from Carrot too.

Not heard from Rubiks which i think means he has understood me not wanting more than fun and doesn't want that.

The pirate keeps offering me wine and "a good night". I tried on the off chance to see if he could hold conversation but nope. I want the pretence of being interested in talking to me!

Flamesparrow · 06/10/2010 15:06

oh and i think you're right to talk with dg Beaut

mummyilubyou · 06/10/2010 16:20

Right, am off to meet RAF at the stn to got into town. He did email back saying he totally understands and sorry for coming on so strong. So we'll see how it goes from here

Will update later

[Confused]

Flamesparrow · 06/10/2010 16:25

Flamesparrow · 06/10/2010 16:25

good luck!

hatesponge · 06/10/2010 16:32

am thinking of texting WM later.....will attempt to engineer conversation in the direction of us going for a drink :)

BeauticianNotMagician · 06/10/2010 16:50

Sponge Ooh thats so exciting please keep us updated.Is it wrong that i'm more interested in your lovelife than my own.I so want you and WM to hurry up and get together Grin

Flamesparrow · 06/10/2010 18:49

Monty100 · 06/10/2010 21:07

Mmm, get it signed and back to court forthwith, (if you haven't already done so lol) in which case I reckon it could be done in that time.
