Beaut havent been sick recently but have fallen down steps etc and done all manner of embarasing things. Blush

aurorastargazer · 08/01/2011 23:08

sincitylover · 08/01/2011 23:18

lou33 · 08/01/2011 23:30

dont worry scl, i will let you off this time Wink

best male friend, who I've always had a bit of a soft spot for has posted dating profile, saying it's 'absolutely crucial' that someone he dates doesn't have children. but thinks he is 'considerate' and seeks empathy.

really very cross! think we might be having a bit of an argument.

BeauticianNotMagician · 09/01/2011 10:38

Lou How was the bread?I think i may get myself a breadmaker now.

SCL Haha i feel a little better now.At least i was at home when i was sick though i did fall over in the pub earlier on in the day.

I am going to get some shopping soon for my mum she is stuck at home and can't get out due to ongoing problems with her legs.I'm taking the ds's over and we are going to make her a roast dinner.Then whilst the ds's play on the wii me and mum will be watching sex and the city 2.So a nice day planned for us today.

Janos · 09/01/2011 11:41

That sounds like a lovely idea BNM, having someone cook a roast dinner for you is such a treat. And just to make you feel better I have been sick in a taxi, in the middle of a street, on a train and best of all into my rucksack while on a bus, knackering my mobile phone in the process Grin.

persephone - sounds like your male friend is deluding himself a wee bit there.

BeauticianNotMagician · 09/01/2011 12:01

Janos Lol you haven't sampled my cooking.No it's not too bad.

Persephone I guess at least he is honest.Some people just don't want to take on someone else children.I took on Exps two dd's when we were first together and i admit i found it hard.Now i have ds's of my own i wouldn't consider dating someone that can't accept my children and i would rather know that sooner rather than later.

Flame · 09/01/2011 12:17

Will try and catch up later.

Went on a date with a nice enough bloke last night. He is in the army though which has always been my deal breaker Confused. Not too sure why I went.

In a crappy mood.

Flame · 09/01/2011 12:18

Oh and met the unicorn - won't be doing that again! I'm sure he was a lovely bloke, just not for me in any way, shape or form.

Janos · 09/01/2011 12:32

BNM - Lol. I take the line that other peoples cooking always tastes nice - even if it's just beans on toast :).

Sorry your dates didn't go so well Flame. Sometimes I find it all gets a bit much and it can be refreshing to step off the treadmill for a bit.

ninah · 09/01/2011 13:57

elasta sorry you are feeling down it does take a long time to feel normal again after death of parent, it made me feel quite panicky too. Christmas/New Year doesn't help these situations.
beaut your bloke does sound lovely actually. It is a big decision and he is right to give it thought. fwiw I can add to the sick stories - in a pint glass (classy)
ninah hamnett who i am named after on here used to chuck up in her handbag
but enough of that
I think I spotted my ex coming out of the shop today. We maturely ignored each other

OH MY GOD,

Dogman is fucking HOT.

Jesus christ i need a cold shower. He is lovely. Really really nice. REALLY nice.
Very good looking in an understated, not trying way. I doubt he realises how good looking he is. He has a body to die for. Hes funny, and interesting, and has loads to say.

We started off walking our dogs, then he asked if i fancied a drink, so we went off to a pub, all roaring open fire, low beams and squashy sofas, then after about an hour he asked if i fancied getting something to eat.
So we eneded up at another pub, dogs in tow.

hes really lovely.
He gave me a hug at the end, and said it had been really nice and would i want to do it again, and i said yes, and ive had a text from him before i even got home.

This is a good sign???? someone please tell me this is a good sign.

and hes all manly, i slipped on some black ice and fell over, and he picked me up,. and then asked if i was ok, and did i want to wipe the mud on my hands on him.
lol

then he slipped over too.

I had a really nice time. Possibly the best first date ive ever had.

Mzdemeanourunderthemistletoe · 09/01/2011 15:29

@ tookool - brilliant - he sounds great and glad to know you had such a lovely time!

And although my experience is limited (and sadly not great) I'd say it's a bloody good sign ...

Remotew · 09/01/2011 15:40

Yes it's a great sign and no need for you to have the post date angst with this one Grin.

I went out last night, had a thai meal at a new place, couple of drinks afterwards and feeling overtired now. Might go back to bed for an hour before I tackle dinner and going through Maths AS level papers with DD. Exam tomorrow.

tookoolforskool · 09/01/2011 15:40

my god. i might actually get a second date.

he is really nice. Not in a ' yes, i wouldnt mind seeing him again ' way. But in an ' i REALLY fancy him kind of way.

Hes got his own business too and was just really attentive, and interested in me. He didnt just talk about himself for ages and ages.

Id very much like to see him again.
Soon.

he wouldnt have text me so quickly ( like 10 mins after i left) if he wasnt interested would he.

Grin

did i mention how hot he was?
lol

lilacisinlove · 09/01/2011 16:44

tookool, sounds like you had a great afternoon, I'm really pleased for you. It seems that he's a gentleman, and I think there's a lot to be said for that, especially when you're a single parent. On one of my early dates with TLOML, I went to the loo just before we left the pub and when I came out he had put my coat on the radiator to warm up :)

ninah · 09/01/2011 17:02

tool so pleased you had a lovely time, he sounds so much nicer than the last one, and v keen too!
agree with lilac, a bit of gentlemanliness is v appreciated when you normally get to do all the traditional 'bloke' stuff like bike chains, light bulbs, dustbins, chopping wood ...
no one has ever warmed up my coat for me Envy or offered themselves as a hand towel, I think I would come over all unecessary
ds is now old enough to make a cup of tea though Smile

tookoolforskool · 09/01/2011 17:04

So, i replied to his text, and hes text me again.

thats twice.
only a few hours after we met.

Grin Grin Grin

He is a gentleman. I felt totally comftable.
He just really nice.

and he just text again. to my replied text.

Grin

oh. its text tennis now.

Grin

this is good, yes?

ninah · 09/01/2011 17:05

sounds like Sofa material tbh

OP posts:
tookoolforskool · 09/01/2011 17:10

i did come over all unnecessary. I said, no, thats ok. and then changed my mind and had a good feel.
lol

tookoolforskool · 09/01/2011 17:10

sofa material?

ninah · 09/01/2011 17:18
