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

[ninah]

part 27? good god

I've just about recovered from our works do on Friday now, had a very early night last night. It was a fun night and the good thing is I can go back to work on Tuesday as I behaved myself.

A few of us went round work town and I arranged to meet Saleman, we had a few words ending up with me telling him to get lost as I couldn't be bothered. He walked off but came back to make it up. I looked round then realised everyone had gone home so was happy to make it up.

Lou at your ex again. I went into a pub that DD's dad works in. I said hi to him and it's the first time I've even seen/spoken to him in years, that's how bad it is.

i think this is the most awful thing he has done tbh

telling the kids by letter that he has not got them anything for xmas, assumingly because he doesnt have the balls to do it personally

and i doubt the letter will arrive in time, or if it does it will be on xmas eve just for extra miserable impact

he couldve emailed them if he really did want them to know by written word, at least that way they wouldve had time before xmas to get over his let down

and on top of that telling me he can be contacted by email AFTER me saying they had been trying to call him

i think i may well have my phones off over xmas, for my own personal reasons of course .....

Lou - that is sooo bad - surely he could get them a little something or if he's not why write to tell them.

Mz - that guy sounds seriously odd I just dismiss anyone that waffles on like that - why would they invest so much of their time in someone they don't even know IYKWIM - its disproprortionate and bizarre.

My landlord has now said that we can stay here until mid 2012 rather than mid 2011 which suits us better tbh. This is the peril of private renting isn't it - you are at the whim of the ll.

By then we will know where ds2 is going to secondary school. I also have to move office in mid 2011 and don't think my stress levels could withstand two moves at once tbh.

I also hate to be reminded how insecure our life really is. Its not the living in a new place/area that bothers me its the searching for a new place, the actually moving and the constant worry we will not be able to find something as the clock is ticking.

I accept I will never be able to buy again but wish private renting was a bit more affordable and secure.

OK rant over.

On the F&I front I'm unilkely to see boatman again until the New Year.

Have to go out later today and buy essential food supplies on foot. Hating the snow - it just stops everyone from doing what they want.

:( and lou. What a weaselly, pathetic, cowardly excuse of a father he is. To let down your children in that way is just beyond shitty. Hope your lovely DC are ok.

SCL - good news about your landlord. I had an awful time in private rentals when I moved out with my DS (very bad time in my life), so lots of sympathy. Sometimes it really does feel like you are strugglimg against the odds while someone/something sticks the boot in, doesn't it (sez Ms Melodrama over here).

I too am sick, sick, sick of the snow. It's been non stop today :( and I fear DS' school will be closed again tomorrow.

lou - maybe you could hide any letters that arrive from the DC 'Dad' so that they aren't upset by him...would that be practical?

eve - glad you enjoyed the works do! And salesman too :) sounds like you had a good one altogether.

Lou- he is a pathetic horrible man. I cant believe he has got your DC nothing for Xmas, and is not even giving them his time! (which wouldnt cost him a penny)

SCL - good news re your house, but understand what you say re lack of security. I'm fortunate in owning this house, but until I resolve the financials of it with the Ex and his name is off the deeds, I still dont feel secure. I also feel as though I am always on tenterhooks waiting for something to break/go wrong/need repairing....is that just me?

I've also had enough snow. Need to walk to the shops for more food but DS2 refuses to come with me as he is the only child in the world who doesnt like snow

sponge, mine also hates the snow. First words this morning 'urgh yuck mum MORE SNOW'.

I feel better knowing he's not the only one!
I tried to get him to do snow angels once when he was about 3 and he looked at me like I was mad.

He's 9 now and still the same. He just doesn't like cold. Or wet for that matter.
In fact he was at least 6 before he would go out on a windy/rainy day without complaining that the wind/rain was 'hurting' him :)

yes I went out on my own too. dcs not interested.

Got some wine for myself after three days of absintence

Went out with mate for girls night last night. Got home at lunchtime.

Flame, do tell?

I have some mulled wine. In fact I shall warm some up in the micro right now :)

Carpenter from Milton Keynes. Never had a one night stand in my life. Excellent man to embrace my inner slut. Very good plus not local. Although I wouldn't have been against seeing him again if he was.

sponge. Your ds is not the only snow hater!

Glad you had a good night, Flame!

Ds is fairly anti snow too.

i keep having bits of last night float back to me. There were a lot of cocktails involved.

he sent me a text earlier, saying he had switched his phone on for a bit and the kids were to call HIM, as i had free minutes (he assumed)

i told him they would speak to him after we watched the film we were in the middle of

dd1 was at work, and ds1 wouldnt speak to him, so only dd2 and ds2 did

he told dd2 he had a gift for her birthday and he (from the sound of it) expects me to make sure she sees him to get her present

when she asked him if they would see him before xmas, he said no and he had written to them to explain himself

he couldnt even tell them when she asked him outright ffs

then a while after he sent me a text to say he had a box of quality street for them and he would give it to dd2 if he saw her for her bday

massive

Twunt.

i will probably regret this but in a fit of boredom have gone back on Match.

have had a couple of winks so far. They look ok and their profiles suggest they can string a sentence together.

wink back, or wait and see if they can be bothered to email?....hmm.

Wink back, then wait for a message.

will do eve

Not quite a girls night then flame...but it sounds like a good one!

Keep us informed, sponge :)

bear in mind, though, that lot of people only have free membership - ie you can wink but not message ... think I've had situations where we've winked at each other a few times before realising that neither of us were paid up members and could go no further!

I"ve just had the oddest convo with some weirdo off OKC who seemed to be trying to get me to admit I was fragile and suffering from depression! When I got fed up and said he was absolutely right and of course I was fragile and depressed, he fucked off!???!

I was with my girl and it was her fault we started talking to them He had some sort of anti beer goggle effect working on him which was cool. He was way better looking with us both sober. Whether he thought the same I dunno!
