evening all

And Janos - am with you i think ....

Saw Theatreman was on okc, messaged him to say hi ... and seem to be being blanked. got no idea why as when we last chatted on NYE everything seemed hunkydory ... oh well, I seem to be making a bit of a habit of it, maybe should take it as a hint .... the better it seems to be going, the more I need to start lining up a newbie!

aseriouslyblondemoment · 02/01/2011 23:25

how on earth do you do civvies with the other rellies ninah?
was dcs dad there acting all normal?
(goes cold at the thought)

ninah · 02/01/2011 23:33

Yeah it's only once a year and they are steadily dying off but it's vile
his brother's partner is the only one I like and she was not there for some reason Confused
mz theatreman is the one you were worrying about his feelings, right? my honest advice for 2011 is think of your own feelings and let the men take care of theirs. Honestly

Mzdemeanourunderthemistletoe · 02/01/2011 23:36

you're absolutely right ninah - just wanted to know if we were still going out next week ... but suppose that's one way of letting me know we're not!

aseriouslyblondemoment · 02/01/2011 23:42

eww horrid...thank god i don't have to see the outlaws anymore!
think tm already moved on tbh so prob solved about hurting his feelings so don't worry about it,ninah's ny advice is spot on!

elastaelf · 02/01/2011 23:43

MZd, why do men do that??? Tme to move swiftly on i suppose.

Have just had a message from a nice looking man on msf saying he never dates anyone with kids, but might I be interested in joining his skiing gang!!! (we are both skiiers)

Now that really is a first for me Confused

hatesponge · 02/01/2011 23:43

Ninah you're a better person than me...I couldn't spend an evening with the Ex's assorted rellies (aside that is from his nan who is lovely) much less the man himself. I suppose at least now you have it over and done with for another year :)

Mz/Janos I'm also a bit meh on the men front as well. The winkers held no interest for me, irrespective of age, and I still find the whole online thing a bit artificial tbh.

Not sure what the way forward is...am thinking maybe I shall just adopt all the local felines and become mad cat lady Grin

hatesponge · 02/01/2011 23:45

oh, meant to add - asbm, happy belated birthday :)

ninah · 02/01/2011 23:46

applies advice liberally to self Smile
Holiday Man is off my list. Apart from being involved with his ex he puts all coats on hangers, scarves in one box and gloves in another. And is shorter and squarer than I remembered - in all senses.

ninah · 02/01/2011 23:49

it's not so virtuous. I don't have parents anymore and dc are really lacking in rellies. Mind you it got snowed off before Xmas and I was so gutted it was rearranged!

OP posts:
ninah · 02/01/2011 23:51

shit asbm many happy returns
and lou, ...apologies!

OP posts:
Mzdemeanourunderthemistletoe · 02/01/2011 23:53

me too asbm

and sponge - maybe we can join forces - I'm up for madcatladiness ... sooner the bloody better tbh

aseriouslyblondemoment · 02/01/2011 23:58

aww thanks all..have got over it now!Shock
ninah he sounds worse than becks,not that i would..lol!

ninah · 03/01/2011 00:08

yeah ladies beware
behind that photograph or second charming lunch date may hide a pied a terre of neurotic batcheldom .. don't forget Norman Bates was personable ...
my personal motto is one in the hand AND one in the bush (well so to speak)
I will call my reserve the Greek

OP posts:
Mzdemeanourunderthemistletoe · 03/01/2011 00:11

well theatreman was my reserve team - so am back to square one ... or cats

ninah · 03/01/2011 00:13

Mzdemeanourunderthemistletoe · 03/01/2011 00:16

tis mine and sponge's new venture - do you want to join us?

Mzdemeanourunderthemistletoe · 03/01/2011 00:17

and on that note, I am off to bed to dream of mad cats and men that know when they're well off! Night night all

Remotew · 03/01/2011 00:21

I'm wide awake atm finishing a bottle of red. Got to finish it as I need to detox tomorrow and onwards.

Hi to ASBM, sounds like everything is OK with you, belated birthday wishes.

Happy Birthday Lou.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 03/01/2011 00:21

meet-up so us(dares to speak for rest of regs)are challenging you lot to sort out your dating lives for 2011
this thread is v long running but we all need the laarfs/squirms and smiles of yesteryear!!

aseriouslyblondemoment · 03/01/2011 00:23

ninah · 03/01/2011 00:36

Mz, sponge ...hang ON! 'venture' is vague as feck
be more specific
as for asbm's challenge. I plan to sort out my dating life. I will put the anals in one box, the shaggers in another .. hang on I am North of Brum. Exempt.
But nonetheless motivated. Asbm you are the william blake of dating
eve like you I am detoxing. Well, emptying the bins so to speak. Poor little bottle of rioja.

asbm - much as I would love to accept your (and the rest of the non-southern ladeeeeeeeez') challenge I have already stated my intention to hang up my dating boots as for reasons unclear to self am only capable of delivering kiss of death to any potential relationship.

While I accept one has to kiss many frogs to find one prince, I have unfortunately developed severe (and possibly terminal) allergy to frog spit and will only attend any future dates in full biohazard suit as <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=www.postalmuseum.si.edu/inspectors/images/suit1.jpg&imgrefurl=www.postalmuseum.si.edu/inspectors/a6p3.html&h=1100&w=450&sz=75&tbnid=p4byHrTFhkpmFM:&tbnh=351&tbnw=143&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dbiohazard%2Bsuit&zoom=1&q=biohazard+suit&usg=__Ouo_0FzG-dcGEEfj8YSw-62j-Es=&sa=X&ei=54IhTaDgH420hAf4oZi3Dg&ved=0CCMQ9QEwAA" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">per. As only guys who would be interested in going ahead with such dates would be too odd even for me, I see no solution other than self and Sponge start rounding up cats for purposes not made clear yet.
