Where have all the fit, interesting and available men gone (part 29)

[lilacisinlove]

Too good an opportunity to miss!

Yup country walk and pub vote here too

oops, flame, xpost didn't see you there, faffing about posting myself

how about you suggest to him starting over with a proper date (prob not monday though...) and see if you actually like each other? Sounds like it could be worth the effort?

and now I am going

god flame, sorry, that all sounded really pompous , what do I know? Am soo not expert

Might do. Will chat to him tomorrow.

We had these great plans for a midnight picnic as a date which I am still a bit miffed we didn't do because I went nuts and cocked it up.

nn

We do like each other - the fact that we talk every night shows that tbh. Couldn't tell you what we talk about though

Mily - oh glad to hear dd is brighter :) nn x

Elasta - I've done my mum's stuff, feeling your pain.

As for date I would do the walk and pub lunch near mine too :)

But then wild horses wouldn't drag me on an all day hike

Thanks all, walk and pub it is, though he lives about 1 1/2 hours away so expect it might be the last time he comes up this way! Must resist the temptation to rip his clothes off invite him in for coffee

Flame, a midnight picnic - you're much more exciting than me

Lol it was his idea. I can't remember why

Me again, seeing as the Arse is now properly out of the equation. (Amazing what a feeling of relief that is tbh)

elasta, i agree with the walk and pub suggestion too...great minds think alike and all that! hope it goes well.

the midnight picnic idea sounds fab by the way BoA.

must away to bed now, I told myself I would be in bed asleep by midnight tonight. oh well :)

place marking again

I am soooo tired today. Couldn't sleep for ages last night.

The midnight picnic was one of those early conversations :). But yes, we screwed it up, he wants the hot ex, I have this Brackets thing to see through....

so, not asleep until gone 1....then dd2 in at 3.30.....raging temp, v restless, only wanted to be cuddled

so, we are ensconced on the sofa with Bob and Peppa and me trying to get some work done, can't send her off to my friend's with temp etc. Possibley can take her over there for the afternoon, we shall see. Feeling rough myself at this point, not sure if just tiredness or sickening myself

gawd that took a long time to catch up, must try more often lol i have awful feeling that i've forgotten a lot of what was posted so i apologise in advance

elasta - it's not a nice thing to have to do, clearing your mom's house. i'm glad you foudn the cards that she'd kept.

smiley - hope you feel better soon

beaut - thanks, was missing dp and kept overthinking. managed to sort things out though. how are you?

had hsoue viewing yesterday. phoned agents to let them know i liked the house but no-one's answering yet. arrrrggggghhhhhh
am nervous cos i would be moving nearer dp, me and dd would be livign just round the corner, am starting to overthink again i think

Hi All

Lou Yay for the new washing machine sounds like a good one too.

Elasta Sorry that you are having such a tough week.Sending hugs your way.Perhapsa planning something nice to do when the dcs get back will help.Hope you have a great date with prof.

Mily I hope DD2 is feeling better.Although i haven't posted in a while i keep looking for sparkly jewlerry updates.

Aurora I am the queen of overthinking.Living near dp is a good thing for you though isn't it?

No more aches on the shred and i actually quite look forward to it.Guess its time to move up to level 2.

I'm not seeing DG now on valentines day as i can't get a babysitter.It seems to be getting more and more difficult to see one another.Although he keeps talking about marriage and has said he really wants to spend his life with me . So probably won't see each other now until the 19th

hi bnm - yes it would be but i'm feeling abit like a scaredy-cat

what is this shred thing????

sponge - have a builder that might be OK - its ds2 best friends dad - I'll send details via facebook.

We also used builders from your area when we had loft extension done in 2001 in our mh (so gutted we couldn't stay there) - I need to try and remember their name - I can't remember it off the top of my head but they were OK - did a basic loft extension really well. (They wouldnt do any fancy stuff though).

scl thank you so much! not sure if the stuff that needs doing is that fancy, its just a million and one half finished jobs that the ex never completed (and I will never manage to do)....

just to give you a flavour :)

14 (!) internal doors to be put up
all tiling to one bathroom, bits and pieces in the other (ex got bored )
lots and lots of plumbing type stuff, including moving a load of pipes so floorboards can be replaced in one room
couple of cupboards to be built/completed

the actual list is a lot longer but this will give you an idea. When people see the house they generally say oh wont it be lovely when its finished. Which is better than one friend who said she couldn't bear living in a glorified building site....she hasn't been back since

Is anyone watching Marchlands? (ITV now) Am finding all the back and forth in time periods v confusing, possibly as not giving it my undivided attention!

The door thing...lots of rooms have more than one door. Ex's idea. There are no doors at present, as Ex thought it simpler to take them all off about 7 years ago, and then have them all put back in one go. Or not.

Will catch up tomorrow, place marking. I'm off work so am drinking red wine tonight. Got 4 days off work to sit around and twiddle my thumbs trying to keep off the cigs aswell. Need to go on a run as I ate the biggest profiterole sunday you can imagine tonight.

'Sundae' not bloody 'Sunday'

Isn't that a song, eve?!

U2 thought that.
