What on earth are your quickmatch criteria! At least most of my offerings are over 30!

Janos · 01/12/2010 21:48

mzd it was HILARIOUS.

Love your response, I just ignore.

lilac - your suggestions are better than anything I;ve thought of (ie nothing).

I like Janostherednosereindeer best!

Janos · 01/12/2010 21:50

Christ almighty lilac. I got as far as my girlfriend was killed by a drunk driver...!

How did you get that?!

lilacbauble · 01/12/2010 21:52

janos, you have to read down to the bottom, you absolutely must!!

How did I get that? If I knew that, I'd fix the settings!

And why does it say that someone who lives in the same part of town as me (not even the same borough, but the same small part of that borough) is 9 miles away? I can't see where it says where I live so can't edit it.

Just read to the end Lilac, good god.

Just trying out my new name. Hi to everyone.

Mzdemeanourunderthemistletoe · 01/12/2010 21:59

Right, Lilac - think i've worked it out ... go to your username in the top righthand corner where it says Welcome soandso and click on your name. Your profile should come up with little green pen icons next to the bits of information about you ie your age/location .... hope that helps.

Janos · 01/12/2010 21:59

Ok lilac...but be it on your head if tea gets sprayed all over my laptop!

Love the name eve, perfect.

lilacbauble · 01/12/2010 22:09

Thanks mzd, I get it now...mine says London, and his says the place we both live, which is 9 miles from the centre of London, so it must just measure distance from central London. That's where Lovestruck is good, at least you can be specific.

Love the name, christmaseve. DD2's middle name is eve, so the day before her birthday is always called (her name)eve Smile

Janos · 01/12/2010 22:12

I just read to the end. My goodness...has he ever heard the term 'oversharing'?

Mzdemeanourunderthemistletoe · 01/12/2010 22:14

It can't be true! He's going for a sympathy fuck surely - or have I just become too cynical and jaded?

lilacbauble · 01/12/2010 22:15

And this is one of my quiver matches on OKC Hmm

Think I'll stick with cyclist...better a sane boyfriend I don't see as often as I'd like than a complete nutcase. Even if he is happy go lucky, charming and honest...and happy go lucky, charming and honest...

lilacbauble · 01/12/2010 22:17

Sympathy, mzd? There can't be a woman on the planet who reads that and thinks 'poor thing, he tried to commit suicide twice and spent 6 months in a loony bin, he's sounds great, I'll shag him'

Mzdemeanourunderthemistletoe · 01/12/2010 22:24

Well I take your point - but I still don't believe him for some reason though his reasons will have to remain clouded as I'm certainly not making enquiries!

And I gave up looking at my quivermatches as most of them were decidedly odd and all were definite no-nos!

lou33 · 01/12/2010 22:31

evening, goodness there are a lot of posts!

its a blizzard here tonight

i couldnt get ds2 to school today as the roads are like sheets of ice in my village, esp my road it seems, and i also had to cancel ds1's hospital appointment today for the same reason

the snow eased off for a while but now it is really coming down

dp made it down here a short while ago to fix my washing machine (woohoo) and he said he couldnt believe how awful the roads around me are ( i think he thought i was exaggerating so i had a reason not to get up this morning, lol)

he said as soon as he got off the main roads and into my local area he was skidding all over the place, even going round one roundabout sideways!

then he said "it was great fun" Hmm Grin

i think the school will be shut tomorrow, but i have already told one of ds2's ta's that he wont be in

sincitylover · 01/12/2010 23:01

Hello there everyone - cant think of an Xmas name for myself.

Ds2s school closed today but had to go into work so took him with me.

Dont think I can really do that again tomorrow so will have to take day off (ds1s school also clsoed tomorrow). My after schoool cm is also a dog walker and cleaner so don't think she can have ds2 and ds1 not happy about being alone.

Think that will go down like a lead balloon at work but don't really know what else to do.

Also ds2 slipped on the ice and banged the back of his head really hard - it has come up like an egg. Im monitoring him for signs of concussion but he seems ok but of course very shocked and upset after falling.

I had email from someone on pof who was looking for a woman who was hungry for sex. Yeah mate I might be but not with random stranger who Ive never met.

lou33 · 01/12/2010 23:45

i should change my name to the grinch, but i never change my name

tell him you are fed up not hard up scl

Mzdemeanourunderthemistletoe · 02/12/2010 07:01

Tinselcitylover? Mebbe not. No bloody paper to read with my tea and just waiting for the Snow Day text -life just couldn't get better! Happy Chanukah and bah bloody humbug!

lilacbauble · 02/12/2010 07:14

I want a snow day text Sad

Watch Daybreak instead MzD, someone has to...

Mzdemeanourunderthemistletoe · 02/12/2010 07:38

no tv in the kitchen thankfully - at least as far as Daybreak is concerned!

Milytoe · 02/12/2010 10:08

TLM brought me flowers back after work yesterday Xmas Smile. Feeling very comfortable these days, like we have known each other for years....only prob is am getting fat on the marital sofa Xmas Wink

elastaelf · 02/12/2010 11:13

Morning All!! Well, have just got back from school run, doing horses, taking dog1 to vet and walking dogs. Au pair thrown a sicky today although she looks allright to me from here!!! Hmm

Finally had txt and call from radioman last night, wants to take me out again next week!

Yay!!!!

Agreed we would see what the weather brings before making plans. He lives about 40 mins from me during the week. Has cheered me up enourmously - will be date 4 - almost a record for me (now what was it about 4th dates...)Confused

hatesponge · 02/12/2010 11:14

Have made it into work again...took just over 2 hours today so a definite improvement. However, of my team of 9, only 3 others are in. Office has a weird, last day of school feeling Xmas Grin

Also a bit :( at moment cos was meant to be going to a big Xmas do in Brighton tomorrow but has been cancelled due to the weather. Bloody snow!

Am crap at festive names...any idea for me? might cheer me up and distract me from cancelled party!

elastaelf · 02/12/2010 12:30

Hatechristmascake??? Xmas Grin

lou33 · 02/12/2010 14:00

Got about 7 inches here ooer missus

Not talking about dp though. Wondering if he will make it down anytime soon looking at the local roads.

It worries me him out driving about working in this weather

But it is when he is most needed
