can't afford the one I just linked to, I should hasten to add, but I love the whole look, so yes to a mass dress shopping day if you can find me that dress for the price of the ebay one Grin

Mzdemeanourunderthemistletoe · 21/02/2011 21:47

Absolutely gorgeous Mily - and will look fantastic on you - so have you set a date yet? And a location?

elastamum · 21/02/2011 21:47

Wow MILY, that is soo exciting. Love the dresses, you can post as many as you like Grin.

Have date for dinner with Mr GW on Wednesday evening. He is taking me out near his as I am down that day for work. Then also have date pencilled in for following Monday as he is working up here. After that, we will see how it goes..

adamschic · 21/02/2011 21:48

I like the second one best and can see you in a 50's style dress.

Flame Smurf looks very nice hope he doesn't have a blue cock Grin.

EV lives approx 30 miles away, a good distance as it keeps him at arms length. He might even been moving further with work so I'm not thinking long term.

Flame · 21/02/2011 21:49

:o Very much the standard shade

elastamum · 21/02/2011 21:51

Ohh MILY love the look, You will look lovely Smile

30 miles is nothing. dont think I have ever dated anyone nearer. Mr GW is over an hour away.

elastamum · 21/02/2011 21:52

Just spat out my wine at Mr standard shade cock!!!Confused

SparklyMily · 21/02/2011 21:53

lol at blue cock

when I read standard shade I thought we were still on dresses Grin

MZ, 24th Sept, local venue for late afternoon civil ceremony and then an evening party at home.

I love those 50's style dresses and have a huge yen for some peep-toe high heels in an unsuitable colour

Flame · 21/02/2011 21:53

lmao elasta :o

Hatesponge · 21/02/2011 21:55

mily I thought the standard shade was about dresses as well :)

Flame · 21/02/2011 22:22

nope, def cock

SparklyMily · 21/02/2011 22:54

good grief, I may never emerge from ebay vintage section.....

Monty27 · 21/02/2011 23:00

Sparkly - congratulations Grin fascinators abound

This is very exciting indeed.

Sponge - congrats on FF's lol. Only a few more months to go. You always look fab anyway.

Adams - glad you had a good date Smile

Ugh at blue cock stuff.

Monty27 · 21/02/2011 23:02

Sparkly - I liked all of the dresses. I'm sure you can get the look you're after without the massive expense.

And we like a bit of style and beauty over here from time to time. Grin

SparklyMily · 21/02/2011 23:31

wow

wow

might fit

not sure about colour

and so on

tookoolforskool · 22/02/2011 08:02

mily - i love the 50's dress, esp with some unsuitable colour peep toe shoe. would look fab on you. just how exciting.. amazing.

slastamum - 2nd and 3rd date already planned. wow :)

its going good on here this week isnt it.

Def not seeing the drummer at all. We texted a bit yesterday... no conversation skills at all he asked where i live fgs. obviusly didnt tell him, but gave him a 3 mile radius. his rep;y ' thats the posh bit aint it'
er, next!

Budist still being lovely. Really quite lookinf forward to that. plus ive decided as a budist he wont be mean. so - thats some good logic there isnt it.

wolfman.... the least said about that the better, but feel i should change my number to 1-800-SULT.
:)
Actually either on the phone or texting ALL day again. lots of normal conversation though too, so we shall see. There are three things that can happen:

    • one night stand, and id be fine with that.
    • Some kind of FB situation. ( at this point, 6 months no sex, id be fine with that)
    • some kind of relationship

we shall see. He does keep saying he does want more than that - just so i know apparently.

Bit worried about mr big. STILL not seen him online.. checked his websites, nothing. Forums hes on - nothing. Twitter - nothing.
He doesnt go on holiday, and even when hes out hes constantally connected online.

aurorastargazer · 22/02/2011 08:10

wow mily congratulatons Smile
the first few dresses are lovely, will go and look at the last ones now.

eurrgh at blue cock

adasmchic - am so pleased for you , hope your second date goes well Smile

aurorastargazer · 22/02/2011 08:15

lol sorry i just heard the word mumsnet!!

the last few dresses - the first one is lurrrvely, am not sure about the second one, the others are gorgeous too Smile

1-800-sult?

persephonesnape · 22/02/2011 09:30

I am sighing at the dresses. Please feel free to post as many as you like here Mily - and start a new thread. As you clearly have exceptional taste in dresses Envy I can only imagine your wedding is going to be absolutely beautiful. When I got married, it was in floor-length red with yards and yards of red net. I think that was generally indicative of the really fucking awful choices I was prone to make at that stage in my life. :)

No train man this morning. I was early - he was late. Never the twain/train shall meet (!) Have decided, as clearly all objects of affection lust have to look like slebs, train man looks like Hugh Jackman. But with better hair. I'm surprised I manage to not sit in a puddle of?drool every morning. On that basis, it's probably good to have a day off. My libido can have a rest. :)

Why is platonic man platonic?? He doesn't find me attractive, doesn't think about me 'in that way' Hmm we've had the discussion a few times now. It comes up again every so often (?.) Arguably, he doesn't find anyone attractive (there's a lot of background stuff going on here, that I feel weird discussing, so I won't. It's OK to talk about my weirdness, but it feels disloyal to talk about his?) So I'm dealing with my huge unrequited flame of lust as best I can. By going on holiday with him. This might not be one of my better moments. We're currently talking about getting a cottage with a hot tub.

TK - you have to go and be filthy with wolfman.

tookoolforskool · 22/02/2011 10:26

Snape. I fully intend too.
Lol.
My mother would be so proud!!!

Hot tub on a platonic holiday... hmmm.
How long have you been such good friends.. might it possibly change?
I like Hugh jackaman... can you not take a pic by stealth?
Lol

Zanywany · 22/02/2011 11:06

My romantic date on Sunday was with smiley guy who I have seen a few times now. When he asked what I wanted to do I jokingly said I wanted to see the Northern Lights so we had a bit of a joke about it over the next couple of days. When he picked me up he took me to the riverbank and produced a picnic with bubbly, strawberry's and chocs and then brought out his laptop where he had done a slideshow of the Northern Lights. It wasn't sickly romantic as we had a bit of a giggle. Seeing him tonight for a short while.

Love the dresses Sparkly
I think after a hot tub and alcohol you won't be platonic for long snape
Tookool nothing wrong with a bit of rude suggestive texting

persephonesnape · 22/02/2011 11:20

ahw at zany - that's really sweet! :)

I've known PM for 18 months. I've always had the hots for him. It's not getting any easier really - arguably, it's actually getting worse?although I guess we've grown closer in the last few months. The more I find out about him/get to know him, the more I like him - which includes the things that would usually ring alarm bells or be deal-breakers. :( yeah , it might change. (come on! Hot tub!) It might not - I'm currently quite philosophical about it Grin I think I'm just delighted to be his friend, we have the kind of weird timey-wimey thing where five hours together seems like five minutes of anyone elses time, so I just need to swallow my lust do my times tables in the back of my head and get on with things. We've got past my clumsy seduction attempts on a good few occasions now - we're still tight. Not ideal. Hey ho. He means the absolute world to me. alcohol has no effect -we always get silly drunk together - just makes us a little more affectionate than ususal.

I lack subtelty. Unless you want a pic of the back of Train Mans head? Plus I can imagine the person I'm sitting next to loudly proclaiming, 'why are you taking a photograph of that man you've been gawping at for the last three weeks?' well, duh! So I can show MN and then have a wank- over it-- Blush

aurorastargazer · 22/02/2011 11:27

that is lovely zany Smile

BeauticianNotMagician · 22/02/2011 11:56

Hi All

I will try to catch up at some point today.Just wanted to let you all know that I'm alright.DG came over on sunday.Ill give details later.

Mily have just had a quick peek at some of the dresses.Gorgeous.Its going to be a hard decision.So happy for you.

I'm sure you don't all really want to know but I like to share I'm afraid.I have cystitis today so bad I'm in agony.I can't get out to get anything for it and there is no one to do a quick run to the chemist for me.The poor ds's have been left playing on the wii most of the morning.

SparklyMily · 22/02/2011 12:45

Hi BNM, that's pants, I loathe cystitis, poor you Sad. Looking forward to hearing how it is going with DG

Zany awwwww that sounds so lovely Grin

Snape, lol at platonic hot-tub, and Hmm.
go on go on go on take a picture, I dare you Grin

Took, any of the 3 options with wolfman sound good, but Buddist also sounding hopeful

I am turning into a woman obsessed with vintage/vintage style dresses Blush, not getting a whole lot of work done...

what about
this
