Yes, tha match questions can go on forever, can't they? I like OKC, it feels like less of a meat market, (even if it isn't Grin) and there do seem to be some rather nice young men on there Wink

MaMoTTaT · 08/11/2010 09:11

haha - we ended up chatting on the IM for a short while last night - it was quite funny - obviously he was just looking for a shag, but at least he was a player with a good sense of humour when I turned some of his explanations for his answers against him when compared to what he was saying on the IM Grin

He still maintained I was a MILF hot though and if I ever changed my mind Wink Grin

Hey all

Sponge, did WM text back??

Lou, lol at the fry up, admire your restraint ref the bath

WingFlame Confused, am so glad you are in a good place ref Carrot but I have to say I don't know how you do it Grin

Managed to have reasonably civilised conversation with XH on Friday afternoon, ref him getting his stuff out of the house (apparently I can feel free to box it all up Hmm, which I will do as is quickest way to get shot of it), also him having the DDs fortnightly at weekends now he has a flat.....turns out he was thinking that wouldn't happen until the decree absolute Hmm Confused - there I was thinking he would jump at the chance to see them for longer as soon as possible......at the root of it would seem to be the fact that his DP hasn't met the dds yet. So I suggested he have a chat with DD1 in particular and then arrange a couple of hours meet up. Ever felt like the only mature adult?
Then I said about the fact that I really want to move on and having his stuff out of the house and him not being in the house on Fridays have to happen - he did concede that he can see what I mean.
But he has signed the next lot of paperwork and returned it to the court so at least that is progressing

Had lovely weekend with Raf and the dds - bonfires and fireworks, dog walks, swimming etc etc. He is amazing. Saturday night at friends' allotment bonfire party, DD2 was kicking off in her current, inimitable and noisy fashion and he just took her off for a walk and a chat and brought her back to me 15 mins later v contrite (her that is) and on best behaviour all the rest of the evening. Sunday out for lunch with a friend of mine and her dd, he did loo-duty with the 2 littles as my friend and I were still eating - came back with a grin on his face about the way the girls had been dancing round the washbasins to the background music

I feel the marital sofa calling...............

can't wait to see folks on Friday Grin. Wish you could come elasat, lou, BNM Sad

WingWoman · 08/11/2010 11:19

Tbh I don't know either. Been filling in Psychomum on the whole situation. Showed her him on POF... he now has a second v unflattering pic up. He should keep it there Wink.

Woohoo for RAF goodness, grown up behaviour and fir MAM being a milf.

POF just brought up my/xh's mate as a suggestion. Didn't realise it was him as the pic was fuzzy on my phone until I opened the profile! Have sent a message explaining i am not stalking him.. thought it would be odd if i showed up as having viewed him.

mummyilubyou · 08/11/2010 11:22

am perusing various threads as displacement activity when I should be having a big clearout in my office......

oh well, better get on with it

what's everyone planning to wear on Friday? How glam are we going?

MaMoTTaT · 08/11/2010 12:08

FGS don't let slip on the feminism topic that I'm feeling slightly smug about being called a MILF Grin

hatesponge · 08/11/2010 14:55

am in such a bad mood Angry

have been railroaded into attending a meeting 2.5 hours from home tomorrow. There is absolutely no need for me to be there in person and it is horrendously awkward and inconvenient for me to do so. Am not sure I could be much more annoyed.

Nothing positive re WM either.

o all v :( and Angry at present

FairyLightsForever · 08/11/2010 15:31

Why can't you conference call or something Sponge? Is this all more of the same crap you've been dealing with? Sad on your behalf.

hatesponge · 08/11/2010 15:46

FLF - we normally do. However on this occasion 2 of my colleagues have taken it upon themselves to decided a face to face is essential. It isnt. We are all vying for the same senior job so this sort of stuff is pretty much par for the course at present Hmm

FairyLightsForever · 08/11/2010 16:33

Will it look good on you for being the one who goes- hope so! You'd think that if it was that essential, they'd be fighting over who goes Hmm

luceeloo · 08/11/2010 16:43

Please can I join in?! Have posted identical message on another thread.

I'm on a dating site and have been talking to a LOVELY guy - 28, surveyor,looks like Will Young. At first just on the online chat thing, but then exchanged numbers and text/chat all the time. Last night was on the phone 3.5hours! My ex of 3years, baby's dad, is a complete to$$er and made me lose all faith in men, but this guy I'm talking to has me in stitches all the time. He lives about 25miles away but works pretty near me. We're gonna go for a drink, but omg I'm soo nervous. Never met anyone online before. What do I wear?! Really want to impress but not look, well like a try-hard slut Hmm. He'll be going straight from work so in a suit no doubt.

WingWoman · 08/11/2010 16:46

What happened with the job interview thingy?

Officially screwed here. The Thing is finally felt (I had the brief bit with the baby holding, but it went again). Bollocks. Just ignore me when I start whinging - I will not pay any attention to you telling me to stop seeing him. Blush

MaMoTTaT · 08/11/2010 16:48

hehe I love my BF - she came round for coffee after school and I showed her exH's profile on PoF and she sat and took the piss ot of everything he'd written and had me in stitches Grin

Monty27 · 08/11/2010 17:18

Hi Lucee - depends where you're going really, if you're meeting up for a casual drink I'd be jeans and boots or smart casual in this weather brrrrrr!

As for dress code on Friday.... as above lol.

I'll be coming from work but providing no meetings I'll be casual.

hth :)

Monty27 · 08/11/2010 17:20

Of course if anyone wants to glam up, why not?
:)

hatesponge · 08/11/2010 17:26

its a managers meeting tomorrow. so everyone going albeit none of the others have such a long and crappy journey as me! No brownie points for going but I probably will deserve a bloody medal for putting up with them for the whole day Hmm

D-day for the job is Weds. Will probably be on here early afternoon weeping over my failure. Although given the way those I will be managing have behaved re tomorrow's meeting am not that sure I even want the job anymore!

I dont know what to suggest re the Thing. Can only sympathise - and you have Friday on our wonderful company Grin to look forward to :)

lucee - agree with Monty's suggestion, maybe a smart-ish top with jeans/heeled boots - smart enough so you wont feel out of place if he's suited, but casual enough that it doesnt look like you've made a ridiculous effort :)

WingWoman · 08/11/2010 17:28

Friday is causing me problems atm too - was about to come on to say that. XH may have to go to Leeds for the day and won't be back til late. He will hear tomorrow

WingWoman · 08/11/2010 17:28

Yup - a nice top you feel comfortable in, jeans, and heels (assuming he isn't 5ft 2)

MaMoTTaT · 08/11/2010 18:43

oh god help me - I'm getting scarily addicted to those match questions and their effect on the % for match, friend, enemy - and those daft tests on OkC Blush

it's all your sodding fault you lot Grin

WingWoman · 08/11/2010 18:52

I'm like that on OKC :o

MaMoTTaT · 08/11/2010 18:53

I bet you can't guess how many match questions I've answered since I joined last night........ Blush

WingWoman · 08/11/2010 18:58

Lol like that is it?

Ooh the whore (aka ?OW) has just signed in to MSN! She blocked me months ago (did one of those programmes to see who had blocked me). How random to unblock me... Hmm

MaMoTTaT · 08/11/2010 19:05

yes just a bit Blush lets just say it's well into 3 figures now

Maybe OW has suddenly found that there's another "ow" on the scene

WingWoman · 08/11/2010 19:08

I still have no idea tbh if she ever became OW. The lines were blurry, they were def too close for my marriage, but not sure about the rest. It would surprise me if he actually was as dense as he made out and thought that she was just a nice girl, and now she's realised it ain't gonna happen (and he's a slob) and has stopped. Or she's realised I no longer care what she does with him.

WingWoman · 08/11/2010 20:04

Shock ManA replied saying yes!

Damn Carrot.
