I heart carrot.

persephonesnape · 24/01/2011 08:34

tbw!!! hahah...was joking ;) and you're absolutely right - the name is just a little off-putting!

tookool - he bakes !! Envy

lilac - dress is beautiful! :)

flame- careful of your head - you won't bashany sense into it - just enjoy the 'heart'

:)

ok. so i deliberately used carrot's actual name when fbs asked what my plans were last night. Instant reply of "who is he?" etc. I don't like it. Too possessive too soon. He intimidates me slightly. How do I word a text to say I won't be going for dinner? Carrot told me to tell him if he gives me trouble... when I laughed and asked what he would do, he said he'd probably find some mates who were tough to scare him instead Wink

tookoolforskool · 24/01/2011 09:51

Snape - happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you.. happy birthday dear snape.. happy birthday to you!! Have a wonderful day :)

and yes, he bakes. AND cooks and is a proper foodie, and since i am one too then thats fab. And he plays guitar. And is a photographer and actually exhbits. And after lots of text tennis he called me last night.

Flame - thats not good at all. You just need to text something simple like' sorry, i wont be coming out this week with you, and i think it would be best if we were no longer in contact' then just dont reply to anything he sends you.

Lilac - nice dress.

Made a decision to not speak to mr big until after tuesday.

Oh, and ive got russel brands number now too. he said he would call me in two weeks :)

And novalist asked me out for this weekend just gone, but i was busy,and am busy next weekend, he said that is disapointing as he would like to meet me.

And grandad shirt or whatever i called him has text me again asking when im next free. meh. never. get the message!!

morning all & happy birthday snape!

I uploaded not just one but two (!!!) pics onto POF last night (but not close up ones) and I've made my profile a lot softer. Maybe it was all the 'dealbreakers' that were attracting the weirdos?!?!

A bit puzzled though... just got back from catch-up meeting with 'head of' (from another area) whom I've known as a colleague for a couple of years. We chatted about work, social lives, found out we live a couple of minutes away from each other...and as I was leaving to go to another meeting, he suggested getting together for a drink or food! So although he said 'let me know when you are free', I turned around and said "no, you let me know" half-jokingly. End of story: he walked away with my mobile number saying that he'd text me tonight. He's a REALLY nice guy and eryone says so, plus a single dad... Smile Ok, maybe I misread the whole thing and he only took my number to be polite... but then the catch up had been his idea and he was the one asking personal questions...Gosh, did I just pull 1/2 way through a working day?!?! Blush ARGH!!!

elastamum · 24/01/2011 11:46

Ohh well done you! You have def pulled and its not even lunchtime Grin

Flame · 24/01/2011 11:55

ooh well done!!

happy birthday snape

persephonesnape · 24/01/2011 12:24

well done Stella! Wink

I'm having a nice birthday in bed, waiting for my landlord to come round to look at the dishwasher...

...and whilst i appreciate Derren Brown might well be difficult to catch,no-one has even attempted to gift-wrap him for me! Wink Grin

tookoolforskool · 24/01/2011 12:30

well. we could have caught him... but he might have ran away... because isnt he gay?

Stella - yep - id say you pulled, before lunchtime... on a monday!!!!! lol. How good is that?!?!??!

Flame - heard from matt at all? or fbs? and can you not just clonk carrot on the head and tell him he has to go out with you?

Hatesponge · 24/01/2011 12:31

happy birthday snape :)

agree stella, you've pulled!

No chance of that with the strange specimens I work with....although my work crush is visiting our office today and we have a meeting after lunch, which is better than nothing! just off to put an extra layer of makeup on in readiness Grin

Hatesponge · 24/01/2011 12:32

tookool, I think you're right about derren brown, sorry snape!

persephonesnape · 24/01/2011 12:58

yes he's gay - but it's my birthday! Wink

Flame · 24/01/2011 13:01

Nah, Carrot is a moron and stubborn Wink

Matt just text saying he is soooooooooooo sorry and has been asleep since Sat lunchtime, and that he had a stupid night on Friday night. Have told him that I suspect if he took fewer bad substances into his body that he would feel, and his life would be much better. Gave him a too Wink

Nothing from FBS. The fact that I am worrying about his reaction says that it is the right thing to do to not see him again tbh.

Flame · 24/01/2011 13:01

Not actually text FBS telling him yet.

StellaBrillante · 24/01/2011 13:06

thank you all!

is derren brown really gay? glad you're enjoying your birthday snape. and LOVELY dress by the way!!!

sorry, my gay radar has always been on the malfunctioning side! At this rate, I will have our chief exec in bed by 6pm - now, that's a truly gruesome thought (as in 'wouldn't touch him if he paid me') Grin

sorry, but what is the problem with carrot?

StellaBrillante · 24/01/2011 13:11

didn't mean to post all those 'sorry' and chief exec not gay but still wouldn't touch him... not that i would be able to tell whether he is or isn't... oh, never mind! Wink

elastamum · 24/01/2011 13:11

Hi all,

Well have had really funny grovelling message from sailor2 who called me old. Said he read his own message back the nxt morning when sober and couldnt believe he actually sent it - has been cringing ever since - and I am now entitled to do whatever I want to get my own back. So, will be working on suitable response for later Grin

Flame · 24/01/2011 13:15

Lol Carrot says he doesn't want to be more than friends. That what we have is great and doesn't want to lose it with a relationship going wrong etc. I am hopelessly in love with him, he gives mixed messages as to his feelings for me - 50/50 friends/more. So it isn't happening.

If he ever comes to his senses he has promised to let me know. He has this sort of half crumpled look when I have been telling him about dates, but not enough to stop me obv.

tookoolforskool · 24/01/2011 13:23

snape - well, maybe, seeing as its your birthday, he could ravish you!!

elastamum- yay!

flame - just text him..

Stardust is texting me in his lunchbreak.
I dont mind as yet, but i cant keep up and nor do i constantly want to text. i have a life.

Russel brand has asked for my facebook. Im normally a bit strict on facebook... but bloody hell, will add him. I know some of you are on there too... just wondered if anyone wanted to ( and i sounds so awfully pathetic....) be my facebook friend :)
lol

I shall be able to share wonderful pics of mr big ( and they are wonderful. he is a god)

SmileyMily · 24/01/2011 13:38

took, I'll be your FB friend! Just pm'd you

Elasta, loving sailor2 ......

Snape, many happies

Flame.... at you and carrot

Stella, yay for your pulling ability Smile

had v domesticated weekend with TLM and all 3 DDs, was lovely. Sad though when TLM had to take his DD back to school yesterday eve and then head off himself to his tedious course....the house feels emtpy and my DD1 says not the same without them....

managed to get DD1 cabin bed picked up (I say 'managed', translation is TLM went to Reading and got it! Blush) on Saturday and put up yesterday so she is very very happy indeed Grin. The house starting to feel quite different from when XH left which feels like good progress

Hatesponge · 24/01/2011 13:54

tookool, you can add me as well on FB (if you want to of course), I'm on Mily's friends list, just look for a picture of a slightly above average cake Grin

lol at sailor2. at least he feels bad. enjoy getting your own back elasta :)

Hatesponge · 24/01/2011 13:56

meeting in 5 mins with work crush. have to remember not to sit near him, or opposite him, as will become a simpering, giggly mass and unable to make any serious points
Grin

elastamum · 24/01/2011 13:58

Yay SMILEY. Love to hear about you and TLM as it is such a lovely story - with a happy ending Smile Maybe there is hope for us yet.

The chap I am really excited about meeting atm is blueeyes. 6ft2, blond and blue eyed company director, rugby player type. Looks and sounds just lovely and writes really funny messages Wink

elastamum · 24/01/2011 13:59

Sponge - used to have one of those - we used to spend the whole time arguing for fun and drove everyone else mad. Had lunch last week - havent seen him for a year but spark all gone thank god

SmileyMily · 24/01/2011 14:03

ooooooh, elasta, am liking blueeyes Smile

how's your hat collection? Ready to be dusted off? Wink

Sponge, yes you are serious minded lawyers plus seriously hot woman, so he will have to control his own giggling methinks Wink

(by the way, 4 hour commute?? are you mad woman?)
