Where have all the fit, interesting and available men gone (part 27)

[ninah]

part 27? good god

I'm glued to on your sofa flame, it's not that bad.

LG has been chatting a bit and has said, amongst the smalltalk, that he does like me but is so wrapped up in other stuff to start anything off. I've said I would prefer just friends anyway so might see him again on that basis.

Mr L&L is actually keeping in touch but just a couple of polite texts. Woe betide anyone who thinks they can love and leave me . I wouldn't bother keeping in touch if I hadn't liked him, will see, not expecting it to be the romance of the century anymore.

Hi All, think I might be on the martini sofa with you! Came home from date with radioman - he of hairy chest, but it is more of a Sean Connery type than gorilla - lots of muscles and rather nice. Have exchanged a couple of rather suggestive txts and he is supposed to be taking me out on Sat.

But Tue night had DS2 creeping into my bed at 2am. Just thought who am I kidding that I will ever have a man in here until the boys are older. So am expecting it will be me, my boys and my dogs for a while.

Radioman has asked about my attitude to kids and dating and I made it very clear that I wasnt introducing them to anyone unless he might become a permanant fixture

Have no kids for the weekend so will be trying hard not to end up doing anything really embarassing that I might regret - but it wont be easy

Elasta, if you have some weekends free then it fine for dating.

Hi Flame - and everyone else - wasn't anything in particular he said - just feel we are probably after different things ... and also that he is bearing a bit of a grudge for me stopping communication before ... we were, I thought, supposed to be meeting up on Saturday but he then said he was busy with kids and was I up for a late night (assume he meant either I should drive up to his or he down to mine) - either way I said I wasn't interested in fuckbuddy, he said him neither and had been talking about a DVD. Told him I was too tired for cross-purpose convos and left it there ...

In all honesty I probably wouldn't mind fwb at the moment but would have to be friends first ... and really would prefer someone who didn't live an hour away and have equally complicated domestic life!

place marking again

can i just rant for a bit please?

i have no : bread, potatoes, carrots, juice or squash, peas, and barely any petrol

i have managed to find £3 by scrabbling about the house though, which is good i guess as it is all i have until tomorrow, so i am deciding what to get from my list

and it better not fucking snow tonight and leave me unable to get to the shops to stock up

i do not like being this broke

dp has nothing atm either as he isnt paid til tues so he cant help out :(

:( Lou

Kdk I would have taken it to mean that too. i don't think I could be doing with an hour away Tbh. I may have been spoilt by the whole two seconds down the road away with Carrot though. Gonna miss my fwb set up!

Oh and i agree that weekends is fine fir dating

I think I'll be with you on the singles sofa too!
I'm in the same position as elasta, my DD actually refers to one side of the bed as her side! She does sleep in her own bed, but will come in with me any time after 5.30 and occasionally will try for earlier.
Also it's winter and so I'm in hibernation mode... I struggle to pull of sexy and warm at the same time

for lou, it's rubbish being skint.

Hello to everyone else

sorry haven't been around much just quickly checking in - work is a nightmare with a financial audit sprung upon us plus various other difficulties. I am at the point where I will say enough's enough if they were to complain or suggest more work!!

Also probs with DS1 earlier in the week but they seem to have calmed down a bit.

Hope to be back more at the weekend.

its ok i have managed to get everything i need til tomorrow, so we are fine :)

i just wanted to whinge

good news, the hospital called me today regarding ds1 and his appointment being 6th jan.

they said the consultant did not feel he should wait that long to be seen so can i take him on 1st december instead, and booked me in for a time i can actually make, rather than during the morning or afternoon school run, which was the only times available before jan on choose and book

Brilliant news lou!

Hello sin, sorry everything's stressful for you at the moment.

I have had a private message from someone called city gent 76 that just says "hi" do you think he's confused and thinks that this is a dating site? I searched his name and he's never posted on here...

afternoon everyone - that's brilliant news Lou, hope it all gets sorted and they find what the problem is.

Have had (yet another!) weird message - this time from a random Swede

'just looking at your picture felt kind of strange, not in any bad way. just like as if were looking at a sister from a parallel universe. it just hit me. looking great by the way.

best regards and best of luck to you'

should I be scared??

kdk - as ever, where DO you find these men?! :)

v quick one from me...work hectic, home not much better, ex still (allegedly) unemployed and so no money from him, but am going to a party at the weekend albeit I am advised the average age is about 60 so am not expecting to meet the man of my dreams

will try and pop back tomorrow or next week and catch up more thoroughly.........

there aren't enough pieces of me to go round.

i truly hate XH right now

Flame - wassup?

Hi All

Have only read last few pages sorry.I 'm mega busy right now but trying to keep up.

Elasta Big hugs.Thinking of you and your mum.Dont be put off of dating.I had much the same feeling when i first started seeing DG what with not having much childcare but it has worked out fine.

Flame I think some girlie nights out would do you the world of good.Forget about men for a while.

Mily Any idea what you are getiing TLM for christmas i really need ideas.

I'm a little stressed out right now.House hunting,job hunting and now christmas is fast approaching.I'm usually like an annoying christmas fairy with all my festive cheer but i have done absolutely nothing and am not prepared for it at all.It's my sisters birthday tomorrow so DG and i are going to hers in London.DG has been away most of the week and i hate it

Flame Sorry took ages to right my post.Whats the matter

Arrghh write not right.I can't even type now

Flame, what's up? You ok?

just one of those evenings where they all want/need me and it just isn't possible as just me alone.

Minor breakdown. They are all in bed now and my bath is run.

Hate knowing that i get all the crap and he gets to swoop in with the cool arse xmas present

At least he gets to swoop in at all! My DT's dad didn't even remember their birthday this year, silly twunt - but I know what you mean. Sometimes I just feel like screaming 'leave me in peace' and to be honest sometimes I do!

Mind you, tonight they were both in bed by 6.30 (DS is getting over a cold and is very tired and DD can't tell the time yet!), my mum is out, I have a ready meal in the oven and am about to pour a glass of wine .... of these moments, happiness is made!

Sending you peaceful vibes ...

yes its good news, and perfect timing, as i have a meeting with the school tomorrow about ds, so can let them know
