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

[ninah]

part 27? good god

Flame, I know that feeling - and I only have one reasonably easy going DS to contend with so you have my heartfelt sympathy.

On nights like that I crawl into bed the instant everything essential is done and sod everything else. Sometimes you have to just to stay sane!

lou - great news for you and DS! :)

yes it is good news, though i have to say i have never had someone from the hospital call me to bring an appointment forward before

its good but also slightly worrying that they think he needs to be seen so much sooner iyswim

he is definitely not as bad when he doesnt have dairy though, so hopefully we are on the right track at last

should i be pleased or unimpressed that exh managed to only stick a tenner in a birthday card for ds1 and post it?

(i let ds open it a day early)

bearing in mind he asked everyone for xmas lists and ds1/dd2 for birthday lists as well?

and bearing in mind he told me that ds was emotionally blackmailing him by asking for the gifts he actually wanted rather than what he wanted to see on a list (i.e cheap)

Hi all

The search is over...I got this on OKCupid today:

Very beautiful
if u think we are right for each other get in touch and we can have fun-sexy time together
love u

And he's here, but you can't have him, he's mine

Only one drawback, I hate curry...

you must feel really lucky to have that young buck in your back pocket......

Lilac, what a shame you don't like curry he could have been the next love of your life .

All shopped out today, got nearly all the Chrismas shopping done, didn't buy a thing for myself. I really don't enjoy shopping much nowadays and we have to travel an hour away just to go to a Debenhams/Primark.

I forgot to say, i spoke to batman on msn today (he moved to australia in the spring)

bless him he finally has a gf, and was asking me advice about her

its about time he is a lovely young maaaaayan

Lilac - I especially like the fact that he has fellings - to be honest that's where so many of the guys who message me fall down, they lack any fellings at all. So go on admit it, when are you meeting him? He is healthy after all ...

Pillock Bluebeard is now ignoring me .... hey ho, another (vaguely, very very vaguely possible) one bites the dust ...

WHY can sex not be devoid of feelings?? bloody men.

Sorry. That probably wasn't necessary...

I have been reading everything, but it has all gone poof in my brain.

It can be - especially for men - but is hard. I know for me that whereas I sometimes think I'm up for a nsa relationship, it all too often has ended up causing me heartache. I have managed it - once very successfully and for quite a long time - but think it depends very much on your general state of mind and what else you have going on in your life.

When I was seeing Craig, I was very busy with work, was seeing someone else at same time who lived in another city so wasn't up for a full-on relationship anyway and was well aware that I wouldn't want him as a boyfriend anyway .... but as someone to go home with occasionally and have a laugh and a shag with - fantastic!

Think you have to be really aware of your - and their - emotional needs and wants. Not sure any of this really helps but hope you're feeling better - or that I've bored you to booze!

lol at KDK picking up on the fellings. I can do it, or could when I was younger, not sure about nowadays though.

The sex I had no issue with. It was the rest of the non-relationship that made it wonky! He couldn't cope with it being just about sex though. Love the contrast - I want feelings for the rest, but am fine with the sex, he wants feelings for the sex but not the rest. Together we make one whole

Xmas do tomorrow. Assuming it doesn't keep snowing. I have no issue with driving to london in the snow but Psycho is getting panicky and I can see her DH "putting his foot down". I would have snorted at that had XH tried it...

Oh dear it's very late and I'm really quite drunk... I met Janos tonight and she's lurvely! much wine was drunk and much giggling about internet men
I came home to find ex finishing cleaning the kitchen having realised that the reason the place doesn't look like a show home is that I don't get much time to myself... bless him.
In all seriousness he's said that he wants to have both kids at his place once a month (as well as having DD (who is biologically his) once a month). This would make a huge difference to me, as the past three years I have had one completely child free weekend a year. Look out world, Fairy may finally be getting a life...

delighted for you fairy...how's the head this morning?!

I'm spending my childless Saturday at a TUC conference on the future of education - that's dedication for you!

Yippee! I won on EuroMillions last night!

Ok, it was £14 but at this time of year that helps a lot!

Urgh, not feeling so good this morning, partly to do with being woken at 6.30, although DD did get into bed with me 'til about 8am. Then I've just had to go out to the shed to find the sledges, because it's a spider haven and DS is too phobic to go in there.
I'm going to curl up on the sofa and try to drink a cup of tea and eat some toast. I'm such a lightweight, I really hope janos isn't suffering... she was probably sensible and didn't stay up so late!

Woohoo for your win lilac... I hope your conference goes well!

Hi All, Hi Fairy, I feel for you, have only just started to feel human after some enormous bender at an awards do on Thur night - just cant do it any more

Well latest on the car crash that is dating is that I have been stood up by Radioman tonight. He told me he couldnt get the tickets he was after and has to go and entertain some clients

Has promised to take me out tomorrow though so am going to suspend my judgement and see what he has in store for me then.

So I guess its on line shopping and mumsnet for me tonight. Dont know why I do it to myself. See you all here later!!

can we all say happy birthday to my ds1 who is 12 today please!

Hoppy Birthaday DS1!!!

Hope you are having a fab day in the snow

Happy Birthday Ds1, hope you have a great day.

I'm going out to see the Christmas lights switching on and fireworks early evening.

Hoppy Birdy Lou's DS1 - have a great day!

OMG! Radioman is coming over for lunch tomorrow. He rang up to arrange a date. Couldnt think what to do and didnt want to travel far ss have to get back for the kids later, so I suggested he could come over and walk the dogs with me and I would do lunch.

So now I just have to tidy the house, cook a lamb stew and work out what to wear for that trendy outdoor girl not trying too hard look
