Sorry to abuse this space but my ex is driving me mad! Does anyone elses ex's impose curfews for dates? I've been seeing a guy for about a month and for ease of babysitting he comes round to mine when the kids are asleep. Typically my 2 year old for the first time in ages gets up and runs straight into him! I warned my ex as I thought it was better coming from me than her that I am dating again and he was angry not that i'm dating but that i was still on a date at 11 pm ConfusedNot sure if this is worth a response to be honest!

BlackFLAMECandle · 26/10/2010 18:23

lol i have semi curfews based on bus times but i have offered ways round them and if he chooses not to take those offers it isn't my fault if he misses the bus.

Tbh XH knows he wouldn't have a leg to stand on as when we were living apart/dating he was seeing?ow at all hours and they were "just friends"

I have an 11pm curfew if I'm going out mid week, but that's because the friend who babysits for me mid week needs to go home to bed Grin Other than that, no.

Sorry was rushing earlier, should have said that your ex's comments really aren't worth a response, he's your ex, it's none of his business anymore.
If he wants to finish dates before 11 at night, that's his choice, if you want to keep going til 5am, that's your choice!

BlackFLAMECandle · 26/10/2010 21:00

oh yes your XH is being a twat and should be ignored

BNM, so pleased for you that things are going so well.

Wave to everyone else!

Had a makeover/photo shoot thingy today and have finally put a pic on my profile...take a look!

BlackFLAMECandle · 26/10/2010 22:03

Flippin heck, you're gorgeous lilac!

Yay for BNM and MILY!

I am hopefully going on a date next week, spoke to him on the phone for the first time last night and we seem to get on well. The problem is finding a night where we are both free and I have a babysitter... Hmm

lou33 · 26/10/2010 23:17

Lovely pic.

Which reminds me i have a new one of myself and ds2 to put on my profile tomorrow.

PumpkinLightsForHalloween · 26/10/2010 23:28

How are you doing, lou? You never got your rant the other day, are you ok?

BeauticianNotMagician · 27/10/2010 07:55

Wow Lilac you are gorgeous and look nowhere near 42.Whats the secret or is it just good genes.

lilac21 · 27/10/2010 08:22

Morning all, thanks for all the compliments!

A plastic surgeon I met told me aging is due to genetics, smoking and sun damage, so I guess I was lucky with the genetic inheritance! I don't drink either, which I suspect helps.

I put my new pics on Lovestruck last night and noticed that rugby guy was online, didn't take him long since he told me that he had deleted his profile! Kiwi toyboy is back on there too, the one who dumped me because he had met someone else and thought it could turn into something long term. Guess it didn't then, since that was four weeks ago Hmm

Still chatting to cyclist, hoping to meet him for the first time tomorrow if he can get out of a work thing he was supposed to be doing. Fingers crossed...

aurorastargazer · 27/10/2010 11:24

lilac you are not 42!!![hgrin]

hi everyone i'm sorry i disappeared for a long time, hope you're all ok? x is still useless twat man boy but on the other hand, i'm still with dock green adn lilac there is nothing wrong in being shameless hussy GrinGrin

lou33 · 27/10/2010 15:31

aurorastargazer · 27/10/2010 16:56

lou33 · 27/10/2010 17:45

Ta :)

hatesponge · 27/10/2010 22:25

hello all, just here briefly as meant to be preparing for my horrible all day interview tomorrow :( not expecting to do well, frankly i just want to get it over and done with!

BlackFLAMECandle · 27/10/2010 22:58

remember... bad interview, good party Wink

My non-date was v good as always. :) We were on nothing apart from hugging during friend times... I now get goodbye kisses. After his speech at the weekend about the meaning/importance of sex etc, he seems to be forgetting himself. Going with the theory that if we don't look directly at it then it isn't happening and all hearts are safe

lilac21 · 27/10/2010 23:25

flame, love reading your updates, even if I can't make any sense of them!

sponge, good luck for tomorrow, let us know how it goes. Fingers crossed for you.

Right, have set up meeting with cyclist in Covent Garden after work tomorrow, but he won't know til lunchtime if he can make it! It will be a month exactly from first contact to first meeting...doesn't bode well for the prospect of a second date, does it?!

BlackFLAMECandle · 28/10/2010 07:43

Good luck Sponge

BlackFLAMECandle · 28/10/2010 07:45

yay for finally sorting cyclist (hopefully). I don't make much sense of my updates either. I've given up trying tbh.

Hi all, Just checking in.

Have given up on the doc, sent him a message making it very obvious that I tohught he had sent me a message meant fro someone else - he hasnt replied - what a surprise!!!

Anyway, in the spirit of moving swiftly on have had a very nice message from a sky diving chemist who wants to meet me. Will see what happens next Grin

lilac21 · 28/10/2010 13:44

I'm definitely in favour of moving swiftly on, elasta...hope you have better luck with this one!

BlackFLAMECandle · 28/10/2010 14:36

Agree!

Lets hope the sky diving chemist is better than my dress making physicist was :o

OP posts:
hatesponge · 28/10/2010 15:40

Elasta agree re moving on. fingers crossed for the sky diving chemist......:)

Have 1 more hours test left of my assessment. Cant wait to see an end to it to be honest, and am past caring whether or not I've done well! Grin

Was exchanging texts with WM last night. Was quite miserable - as per usual frankly - and nothing I said seemed to improve it. Will see how Saturday goes but atm he's getting on my nerves a bit Hmm I do reserve the right to retract this opinion once I see him in all his loveliness at the party however!
