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

[lilacisinlove]

Too good an opportunity to miss!

Happy Valentine's everyone.

Mily - Congratulations!
Love the new name as well. This is a first on here I'm pretty sure.

SCL/Sponge/MZd thank you all for coming on Saturday, it made the day even more special . And at compliments. It was a lovely evening.

I've cancelled date for tonight as I'm bushed after the weekend. But I have suggested re-arranging and haven't heard back yet.

Bubbly bath and an early night for me on VD. Oh well, such is life. Hope you all have a good one whatever you do.

Sponge - good luck for tonight

yeah. thats what im going to do. sod pizza hut. plus she can help me make it and will love it.

The thing is, you have children. You have an unreliable ex husband with his own agenda. You can only do the best that you can do. Plans change, he cancels, or doesnt turn up. there isnt really anything you can do about it. you cant just abondan your children can you.

Its unfair of him to have a go at you about somethng that you cant change. I know its tough. but you cant.

Have you tried explaining it to him? if he doesnt have chilren, and no experience of it all it must be hard to understnad...... but he kind of needs to, you know?

Tbh - i have no idea how on earth i will juggle any kind of relationship if i ever get that lucky. Ex husband is forces so its forever changing and i have to accomadate that as i much as i can. Anyone im with will have to understand that. ( one of the reasons i wouldnt be with mr big... and i suspect thats why he isnt talking to me, becuase i told him i wouldnt see him until march as ive not got childcare until then.. i have, and if i wanted a babysitter, i could get one....its just, he always wants his own way..)

hope that doesnt sound like im nagging. i just think you do a really good job.. and its hard on your own. esp after a bad relationship.
its sort of not fair on you when you are doing your best.

Mily, that sounds so lovely.

Beaut, hope you can sort it out.

Been for lunch out today, didn't notice any lovey dovey couples. Had a quick look on my fb and got pissed off with an ex. He has this gf who is young enough to be his DD and they are off and on. He lives along way from me now but I did see him not long ago, the last time they split, when he was telling me how immature she is. He is proclaiming undying love for her Felt like putting 'how long will it last this time?' Don't know why it pissed me off, just did.

Took No it doesn't sound like you are nagging.I just got of the phone to one of my girlfriends and she said much the same.DG has to understand my situation and realise that i have developed my coping stratergies when it comes to Ex.

sponge have sent you builders no. via fb. I had some very weird dreams last night btw.

Eve - that would pee me off too.

:( Beaut

TooK- if it ain't there, it ain't there. It is all very well not judging on appearance but you have to want them to touch you. Part of the Brackets thing is that he just doesn't do it for me (sober obv).

Is it weird how we all say TooK when it is Too Kool?

I have missed out loads of people, sorry.

Told Brackets we'll go to see Black Swan - I get to see the film, we don't have to talk much, no chance of booze & extras happening... then I can finish it.

Talking to Smurf loads today. He is easy to talk to. Asked him about zombie plans (this is an essential judge of character thing for me) - he replied that it depends on if we are preparing for an invasion or an outbreak of. Not only has a plan but cares about the TYPE of zombie issue!!!! :o

Flame Hahaha at seeing Black Swan with Brackets.I watched it last week with my sister wasnt my kind of film way too dark.But i am a complete baby.

Smurf sounds interesting

He likes weird dark films - figured by the ads that it isn't one likely to make him all soppy

Flame good thinking as yes not definitely not one to make him feel soppy.It is good and Natalie Portman is fab but im just so squeamish.I had my sisters arm in such a tight grip she jumped out of her seat oops.

Although to be fair Friday was The Audition (Jap horror with feet being cut off)... and that didn't slow him down!

Be glad when today is over. I always try and not let single awareness day (SAD) bother me but it always does, deep down.

DD seemed out of sorts too. It's all commercialised crap and should be illegal.

I was there thinking "At least the kids will bring crap home from school for me".... The dude has written his to Strawb, and the chick is for some nameless that isn't me!!!

Flame My goodness i cant sleep after watching a horror though so have to find something to pass the time

Eve I will be glad when today is over to.I don't know whats worse being single on Valentines day or having a partner that you can't see and is very far away.

Today is like torture i have to wait until gone Seven to speak to DG we haven't spoken all day and none of the usual lovely texts just the one to say maybe we should leave the move for now.

Oh dear! Bet you are gutted.

Flame Ahh bless them.My eldest brightened my day earlier actually.He has autism and gave me a lovely speech after school telling me that i can't be his girlfriend as i'm just mummy but that he loves me lots and gives me his heart.He then gave me a little red heart his teacher had helped him make.She gave a little nod to say well done.I think he had memorised his little speech.I was in bits sobbing,nose running.Attractive.It made a somewhat shit day a whole lot better though.

awwwwww

I did love that Flameboy loves his baby sister so much tbh

MILY!!!!!!!!!

lilac,spounds like smashing weekend, :)

tookool, 'smirk' at your date. i just think thats all there is sometimes.:(

No train guy today, despite make up and heels! feet f*cking sore all day! grrr!

chin up for valentines day. :)

oh beaut :( sorry to hear this. hope it works out.

snape, I think you need to take comfy shoes to wear all day and save the heels for the train journey!

snape - no train guy.. how very disapointing, esp when you had gone to all that effort. Could you not do a belated valentines day card to him. just write in in ' from the train girl' and put your number... just got to drop it into his bag... go on.. you know you want to!!

Had a non argument with mr big. As in he pretended like nothing had happened. or came up with some reason why he hadnt responded. but then didnt bother to call me or anything when i had called him a cock. and i basically got annoyed at him for being a cock. The man is exhasberating. he does not behave like any normal human being. he just does his own thing all the time. Of course i tell him this. and he just waits till im fnished and then goes ' are you done now' gggrr. and then i laugh and then its all done.
i hate him and want to rip his clothes off in equal measure.#
i have had several valentine texts from numbers i dont recognise today.. but i cannot be bothered to text back to find out who they are.

floor picnic with the scruffian child was a success :)

Mily - what fantastic news! Am made up for you - and off to check out fascinators straight away ...

You'll have to post a pic of you in the ring so we can all get a look!

We definitely need to arrange a meet up asap as we now have an official engagement to celebrate ...

Coming out of hiding to say Congratulations Mily! So very pleased for you and your new family

Waves hello to everyone else- Congratulations to all the weightloss girls, and MzD, I'm really pleased about you and Theatre man.

I have been lurking on the thread because I feel a fraud being here when I have no interest in dating at the moment. Maybe i'll have another go when the weather improves... Winter is for curling up in a blanket, not having to dress up and go on dates [lazy emoticon]
I love being single on Valentines day, because I hate having to do the whole "you must be romantic on this day because Hallmark Cards, etc decree it", when I'm in a relationship. I'm a real romantic, me
