oooh, goody Xmas Smile

kdk · 01/12/2010 16:30

Oy - they find me sadly enough - I maintain that I have (unintentionally) cracked the code for 'I shag fruitloops/weirdoes and the terminally sad'. If only I could work out which bit, I would change my profile like a shot!

mummyilubyou · 01/12/2010 16:36

Kdk, it's like that thing of always have loopy person sit next to you on the train/bus......

mummyilubyou · 01/12/2010 16:37

*having

kdk · 01/12/2010 16:43

I used to get that in pubs or bars - I'd be sitting minding my own business, waiting for a friend etc and some halfwit would decide I was his (they nearly always ARE male) long lost best friend ...

Just had another one (who as far as I know hasn't even looked at my profile ...) and writes
'You are a paragon to behold,Only Gods creation can
compare to the beauty i see in you...your beauty
got me speechless pretty..Can i get to know more
about you?

Andrew '

Don't know whether to send him all my money ... or just a signed photograph - maybe of the Queen?

And since tis allegedly the season of goodwill to all men (like hell!) ... and a yohoho to the other half of humanity!

lilac21 · 01/12/2010 20:30

I like MILYtoe!!

Not enough snow here, still going to work but kids kept in all day so they are practically climbing the walls. Must admit that the 90 minutes of silence interspersed with 20 minutes of singing in church this afternoon didn't help.

First date with H&S guy yesterday, we got on really well and he seems very kind and attentive and considerate. He even came half way home on the tube with me then turned back and went the right way for his own journey! Not sure if I fancy him enough though.... We've agreed to meet again but not set a date yet.

Cyclist had to work late AGAIN tonight, so date no. 2 has still yet to happen. I met him for the first time two weeks ago after about 7 weeks of texts and emails, so one date in 9-10 weeks is not looking hopeful. I know he's working on a £650M bid at the moment and things will improve in a few weeks but I wanted to see him, dammit. Do you think the level of disappointment is proportional to how into a guy you are? I am gutted Sad and definitely too gutted to be Xmas Sad

Have fun in the snow, everyone. DD1 is snowed in at school (near Gatwick) but the Head emailed all the parents this morning and said they have enough food to last them til at least the weekend!

lilacbauble · 01/12/2010 20:33

How about this then since everyone else is at it?

(And when I say 'at it', I don't mean 'at it', cos that's just wishful thinking for most of us on here...apart from kdk, of course, for the weirdos guys are just throwing themselves at her)

Mzdemeanourunderthemistletoe · 01/12/2010 20:41

I shall forgive you for that as I know you are just jealous ... don't worry there's plenty for everyone!

elastaelf · 01/12/2010 20:42

Lilac, kdk Love the Xmas names!!!

I vote for MILYtoe too!

Lilac, it sounds like cyclist might be one of those just not to be. I went out with one similar erlier this yr. 4 dates in about 6 months, eventually even I gave up on that.

Am trying to do my tax return atm. Have set myself a target of getting all my paperwork up to date before the kids finish school in a couple of weeks time. Now have a to do list as long as my arm so I thought I'd start with a bit of mumsnet, followed by a sherry to keep out the cold, then maybe a bit more mumsnet, with a couple of minutes of work thrown in!

TwinkleyFairyLights · 01/12/2010 21:00

Hello, it's still snowing here, it's at least 16 inches deep in the back garden. I've been so bored today that I've started getting the Xmas decorations up Blush
Feeling achey and have a sore throat, so I am going to go to bed as soon as I can persuade DS to go.
Loving everyone's Christmas names!

lilacbauble · 01/12/2010 21:27

mzdemeanour, here's another one for you, since I know you love poetry here

lilacbauble · 01/12/2010 21:29

Though since he added me to his favourites, I have first claim, ok?

Mzdemeanourunderthemistletoe · 01/12/2010 21:29

You won't believe it - he's made me a favourite - told you I was a loonmagnet!

Mzdemeanourunderthemistletoe · 01/12/2010 21:30

X-post - go on then, fight you for him!

Janos · 01/12/2010 21:31

Ha ha Twinkley, I'm not quite that bored yet (but approaching it). DS showing NO inclination to go out and play in the snow and I'm not going to make him. It's gone from fun to bloody annoying. Bugger off you freezing wet MENACE.

As we're doing Xmassy names an anyone think of a good one for me? Nothing goes with Janos.

Love everyone elses tho - MILYtoe best one IMO :)

Janos · 01/12/2010 21:34

Ha ha kdk the poets are the best aren't they.

I remember someone sending me a gruesome 'sensual love' poem once on Match. It was full of 'I yearn to kiss your lady parts' type nonsense.

lilacbauble · 01/12/2010 21:37

Janos I'm struggling too...

janostherednosedreindeer?

or even rudolphtheredjanosedreindeer?

janosuarycomesafterdecember?

janosanta?

I give up...

Mzdemeanourunderthemistletoe · 01/12/2010 21:39

oh vom - I've only had one like that - and it wasn't quite that bad! Think I sent something back like 'roses are red, violets are blue, your poem's crap and I don't want to meet you'

but I was in a very bad mood!

lilacbauble · 01/12/2010 21:42

So I did quickmatch on OKC and this is what I got...I think the term 'match' is used very loosely (God, I hope so).

You MUST read all the way to the bottom!

lilacbauble · 01/12/2010 21:43

mzd Grin at your poem
