Kicking this off.

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

KDK, back rub, never crossed my mind to try that. Will remember that one on LG if I get an invite to the flat warming.

OK all, feel a bit better about phone calls. Because I live out in the middle of no where I am used to chatting for hours on the phone - but I can see there arent many men who do this!!

He is def keen to meet face to face, says he thought that we got on really well and he also felt a real spark! Might try to meet him in the middle of the day though, bit too early for a late night encounter IMOConfused

Flamesparrow · 07/10/2010 22:43

Rose tends to just give me a hangover Wink. Never tried brandy.

I could use a back rub in general :o

lou33 · 07/10/2010 22:51

is he gay?

if not tell him that you and him should have good old session to see if it changes how you both feel

he may be shit in bed, could that be why he is holding off?

StrawberryFruitBat · 07/10/2010 22:53

He spends too much time looking at my cleavage to be gay I think.

Maybe he is small?

Maybe it will make him feel better if I let him know I only have one man to compare to :o

Hi all

Special wave to mily - hooray!

Flame - read the mumsnet news on the tube home and there you were, famous for shagging anything! Love that Carrot doesn't want to live his life on the internet too...if only he knew!

I went to Sister Act with a friend tonight, it was fab :)

Alone for the weekend now, off to Crewe tomorrow then meeting Dancer on Sun pm. Have so far tried and failed to get myself a date for Sat night, they are either busy or ignoring me. I will call the other guy I'm texting Cyclist, since that's his hobby. Aiming for Thursday but he might be out of town. He texts me often so he's clearly interested but I want to meet him and find out just how interested we are in each other.

Time for bed, I'm leaving home at 7am to get the train...yawn...

mummyilubyou · 08/10/2010 08:38

hey Lilac, thanks for my special wave Smile

So........am going to stay at RAF's tomorrow night Grin Blush

StrawberryFruitBat · 08/10/2010 09:31

Bollocks. Strawberry very unwell with a temp that won't come down. My overriding thought (apart from her obviously )... I want a hug from Carrot.

No fireworks but i appear to have properly fallen for him anyway.

Arse.

BeauticianNotMagician · 08/10/2010 10:08

Hi all.Goodness lots to catch up on.

Aurora-Thank you what you said about being treated badly and not being used to being treated well is so true.Made me realise i really need to stop questioning every small thing.
Have you managed to find a babysitter.I know is awful i didn't realise how hard it would be to spend time with DG.I'm very low on offers of babysitting.

Mily-Grin RAF grew quickly on you didn't he from not sure to fireworks.Yay.

Flame-More from the weird vegetable.I say jump on him don't give him a choice Grin

Kdk-I have had loads of weird messages too.I had one guy literally having an email conversation with himself as i didn't reply to any.But i did find DG so don't give up hope.

Elasta-Hugs to you and i agree i'm very awkward on the phone and don't like speaking for long unless it's to my sister or best mate.

Lilac-Haha at desperately trying to fill your saturday night with a date glad to see you are serious about your dating.

Hello to everyone i forgot.

BeauticianNotMagician · 08/10/2010 10:10

Ooh forgot about me DG hardly text at all last night and seemed to um and ah when speaking about the weekend i had my friends over so think/hope he was just being polite in not texting.

Have had nice texts this morning.My friend said last night'go with the flow'.Yeah right i have completely fallen for him Blush

mummyilubyou · 08/10/2010 10:29

BNM, I know, I seem to have fallen head over heals Blush. The not sure was definitely connected to Auraura's point about letting someone be nice to you

If it's any help, I am useless at going with the flow, am alsways over-analysing and trying to control things, which was something XH hated...[Hmm]

BeauticianNotMagician · 08/10/2010 10:36

Mily-Ahh that is lovely am so pleased for you.When are you next seeing RAF?

I want to be with DG all the time and can't concentrate on anything.Funny i have never been like this and certainly wasn't over Exp.

mummyilubyou · 08/10/2010 13:00

seeing him tomorrow Grin

after XH fark up with arrangements for the weekend, I have said I had plans anyway and therefore I will be away tomorrow night (chez RAF Shock) and that he can therefore birng the DDs back from ILs' and stay over here. Since I am not here, I don't mind him being - will be good for the girls to have the time with him and also get used to the idea I can go away. Have been embargoed from staying away over night by DD1 since XH left. Shows how abandoned she felt by XH that she couldn't bear the thought of me being away, even with my parents here.....

elastamum · 08/10/2010 13:22

MILY if your ex is staying make sure you lock up your private papers computer etc. My ex went through a load of my private stuff and my laptop when we were negotiating our divorce.

He read my e mails and has never got over what my friends said about him Grin

StrawberryFruitBat · 08/10/2010 13:25

poorly baby thread in chat

mummyilubyou · 08/10/2010 13:38

elasta

that is a really good point

trouble is, will look like I have something to hide if I lock the office Confused

I could bung the sensitive stuff in a box and take it with me, and my laptop etc

the thing that will annoy me the most is the state the house will be in when I get back.

still, with any luck I'll have had such a good time I won't care Wink

BeauticianNotMagician · 08/10/2010 13:47

Mily-i would lock the office.It is none of his business anyway.

Ah poor dd1 im sure she will be fine and probably be nice for her to spend some time with her dad in the comfort of her own home.

mummyilubyou · 08/10/2010 14:01

that was my thinking re dd1

here is how keen I am to keep XH sweet so I can run away and play tmrw:

just found DD2 in a puddle because she was trying to find him (he is outside cleaning out his van, left her inside with tv......) and she got caught short

I mopped her up etc, then I made him a cuppa and took it out to him with a smile....I am not thinking with my head at the moment am I, is definitely further south than that Grin

BeauticianNotMagician · 08/10/2010 14:11

Hahaha I can understand that.I gladly handed over the £50 fee to my childminder for tomorrow evening.This time i wont worry about him making any moves.I plan on being the one in control van't wait Grin

BeauticianNotMagician · 08/10/2010 14:11

Can't not van't

mummyilubyou · 08/10/2010 14:17

y'know what is good about seeing my XH regularly? It reinforces all the reasons why I am better off without him:

Thoughtless, disoraganised, self-centred, careless (left his iphone on a park bech at work the other eve (is personal trainer/fitness instructor)and lo and behold, it was stolen - bang goes however much that cost him, and of course he doesn't have it insured......could I see if there is a special offer through my work (in telecoms) to get him a blackberry?)
messy, moody bugger, body fascist, arrogant........

I could go on

lou33 · 08/10/2010 14:30

Lock your office, who cares what he thinks!

Bad news is i seem to have landed a mix of tonsillitis which dd2 has, and the virus dd1 has. And today would have been my mums birthday.

The good news is i just got a little tv for the bedroom, and it is friday!

kdk · 08/10/2010 17:09

Hi Lou - hope you feel better soon - and sorry about your mum. It's my dad's birthday in two weeks - well, would be but he died nearly two years ago - and that's hard to believe somehow.

Just had the following message - anyone want to translate - "elo sxy, i luv ur pic, wana have sum fun with me?
Whats ur msn addy sxy? '

Wouldn't mind but I state quite clearly that text speak is a complete no-no. Maybe the poor lad can't read - maybe I should tell him I'm an adult literacy tutor and offer to help him learn to write English!

hatesponge · 08/10/2010 17:30

lol at helping him to write English rather than txtspk!

am off to buy a hairdryer now then home for an evening in front of the TV with a glass of wine and a bar of G&B. What an exciting life I lead Hmm

my only consolation is that I know WM will be spending his evening doing much the same, although possibly without the G&B...Grin

have a lovely weekend everyone, catch up with you next week :)

kdk · 08/10/2010 17:36

Why don't you ring him and offer to share yours? Just go for it!!!!
