Hi all

Flame if you feel uncomfortable having brackets stay then cancel.I let DG stay here quite early on.I felt comfortable with the situation and i knew he wouldn't try anything.

Tookool i wouldn't worry about him still being on the sites at the moment.DG and i were on the sites until our fourth date.Was eharmony so no idea if he was chatting to other people as it doesn't show you when online.

In about date four or five DG and i had THE talk haha one of those big ones where you open up about everything i told him that i had been very hurt and about all i had been through.If stardust is the right one for you then that talk will happen for you to but you aren't going to know if he is right unless you try.

i was in a similar relationship to yours with my exp he was cheating constantly behind my back when i found out the first time the violence started.He also did and still does twist everything to make me feel like the crazy one.Hence why i have been having paranoid worry over DG as he isn't here.

DG and i had a text arguement yesterday well not an arguement as such but i wanted to do a course and i can start it here or leicester he said start it here and we can put off moving in together as it will give us time to save money and he thinks the course will be good for me.I have taken it the wrong way and although i know he is just trying to help i feel like he is trying to put me off being with him now.I have text him twice this morning and he hasnt replied which is a first he always replies Sad

Tookool forgot to say thank you.We had a great time at the cinema and at pizza hut this morning.

Remotew · 29/01/2011 14:17

Oh Beaut, I guess that wasn't what you wanted to hear but don't forget if something is worth it it is worth waiting for. No need to rush and it's a big step for you and DC's. Hard though I know.

Better get on, need to clean up with my new dusters. £10 for 2! Only joking he didn't come back Grin.

BeauticianNotMagician · 29/01/2011 14:23

Eve hahaha im sure he will be back.I have been upset all day and wont be happy until i speak to him but he is on a course this afternoon.

Flame · 29/01/2011 14:46

:( TooK

I dunno. I might see if I can uncancel. In a weird mood. I don't think Brackets would do anything. I think I am just in a bad mood and he was first to get barked at iyswim Blush.

Restless and argh.

Remotew · 29/01/2011 15:14

OMFG! Pinch me I must be dreaming. He came back, was selling broadband. Had all the ID and asked if he could come in. DD is clothes shopping atm miles away so I was alone. Let him in told him it was a good deal but I've just changed and won't be signing up today.

He said I had a lovely house, looked at some photos and asked who they were. Was I married? Pity as I was his last call and he is heading back to London or he would have asked me for a drink!!! I didn't take him up on it but mubbled something about was he going to be back in the area and he said yes in a couple of months. Then I said well you have my number now! Then he asked me to see him out and gave me a kiss on both cheeks.

What is going on, first the guy in Asda then this. This one was rather georgeous too.

BeauticianNotMagician · 29/01/2011 15:16

Wow Eve have you started using a new perfume or something or maybe just the fact you are gorgeous.You seem to be getting lots of interest at the moment.

Remotew · 29/01/2011 15:29

lol my sis has just said it must be the Stella perfume she bought me for Christmas.

Didn't have any on in Asda but did today as I got out the of the bath, put some nice clothes on, stella perfume, make up and hair done.

Cleaned the house aswell cos this morning the winter sun shining on the house showing up every speck of muck and me looking like a skank after drinking last night, slobbing about in my pj's made me think that the house should feature on 'Kim and Aggie' and me on 'Ten years younger'

Feeling a bit giddy still.

Sorry Beaut, to rabbit on, wait for him to contact you later and try not to worry. Be bright and breezy about doing the course in your home time.

persephonesnape · 29/01/2011 15:35

eve! rrrrr!! ;)

ugh. 'best' male 'platonic''friend' just cancelled for tonight. ex has finally sobered up enough to take boys to the park. i'll have to sit in with him again this evening and fend off his clumsy seduction attaempts. this is somewhat wearing. :|

BeauticianNotMagician · 29/01/2011 15:57

Ooh i might try some Stella.I made an effort to go to the cinema today just to feel a bit better.

You are right Eve im not going to contact him now i have quite a lot to do about the house to keep me occupied this weekend now fortunately.

Persephone Sorry to hear you have been cancelled on.Why do you have to sit in with ex?

persephonesnape · 29/01/2011 16:31

pfft. cold outside and too late to make alternative plans. really cannot face an evening of going to the cinema alone. :(

Remotew · 29/01/2011 16:49

Snape, is he still living with you or just has to stop over on access visits?

persephonesnape · 29/01/2011 18:19

he's down from Glasgow for the weekend. came down on thursday, started drinking - has spent very little time with them other than managing a limp around the park this afternoon, keeps making suggestive comments to me, tries to borrow cash from me - for booze - and has now just asked me for a lift to the station tomorrow. twat.

could really have done with getting out tonight, and am now barricaded in my room, watching the tudors and eating crisps.

also, okcupid suggests i would like to be 'matched' with someone going by the delightful nom de net of 'bdsmplaymate'...ahh, no.

(sorry, am whiny!)

BeauticianNotMagician · 29/01/2011 18:27

Snape stuff that.Its up to him to sort out his time with the children surely.Its not your responsibility if he wants to see them badly enough he will make his own arrangements.No way i would let my ex into my home.Been there done that and it was a disaster.

Ooh your playmate sounds like a no go haha.

I think everyone seems to be a bit disheartened on here at the moment.It must be January.

persephonesnape · 29/01/2011 18:33

agreed. stuff it. am staying in my room, thinking evil thoughts. part of this is me never seeing my dad again after he sodded-off, but i've bent over backwards for the tosser - and this is the 'thanks'. twat!twat!twat!

well, bless him - at least he's upfront about the bdsm-ing and it's not something i've found out on date 3 after investing time/energy in it...

tookoolforskool · 29/01/2011 18:48

ah - snape. how awful. i once had a lovely message from someone with a similar name saying i would look lovely hog tied. Nice! or not.
your ex sounds like a twat. Your very good sharing your house with him, i dont think i could do that at all.

Your also totally right about stardust, its not him, and i know that. And i know im fab :) totally, totally fab :) ( see what i mean about large ego>!>!>!>!> lol )

beautician, have you spoken to him yet? glad the cinema was ok.....

eve - seriously, uyou are on fire. amazing! :)

Stardust is out on his birhtday meal. Its his birthday tomorrow. Its also mr bigs tomorrow too. Stardust has text me a few times today,
AND ive had a text from bear, who i was going to meet last week, ( but it seems like an age away) So i think ill try and sort something out for next week with him. I cancelled on him last sunday because i had so much to do, he seems ok, really really interesting, bit older than id ususally go for. but????

BeauticianNotMagician · 29/01/2011 19:12

No still nothing i tried calling just now and no answer is the first time ever that he hasnt spoken to me all day.I dont even really know what i have done.I always mess everything up Sad

tookoolforskool · 29/01/2011 19:19

im sure you dont.
and im sure it will all be ok tomorrow.
:(

elastamum · 29/01/2011 20:10

Arrrgh! Have really fouled everything up. S

Sent txt to Physio to say that as I hadnt heard from him assumed he didnt want to go out. Then got message from Sailor2 fishing for a date so suggested tommorow eve as really want to meet him.

So now have not heard back from sailor and Physio now txy saying sorry his mum was taken ill and would still really like to meet tommorrow.

So am going to have to cancel anyway and odds on wont hear back from sailor either - It is all way too complicated for me Confused

elastamum · 29/01/2011 20:12

Oh and my au pair has gone camping so odds on I now dont have a babysitter either Sad

lilacisinlove · 29/01/2011 20:45

Hello all...wow, lots of dating going on right now. You all seem to have so many to choose from!

My parents are here tonight, they are going to Thailand tomorrow Envy TLOML was here during the day so he has now met them...don't know what any of them thought of each other, it was only an hour anyway and they are all talkative people so the conversation flowed. I guess I'll have to introduce him to the DDs soon - but first I would have to tell them about him Confused

So I still want to start off number 29...can I cheat?

lilacisinlove · 29/01/2011 20:53

Not much to say....

lilacisinlove · 29/01/2011 20:53

lilacisinlove · 29/01/2011 20:54

lilacisinlove · 29/01/2011 20:54
