yay for train man! I like snapespeare :)
elasta, glad your date went well. I spent over a year living in same house as exH so I get where Mr GW is coming from. I didn't want to put my life on hold either. We were more enemies than flatmates though. If he's the right guy, but the timing's not great, he's worth waiting for. It will be a chaste relationship unless you're going to start booking hotel rooms though! I don't know about his ex giving him 'permission' to date, perhaps he doesn't want to discuss it with her. Depends how amicable their relationship is and he might not be ready to discuss that in great detail with you just yet.
eve, glad date 3 went well. Don't know about you, but I never got past date 3 with anyone until I met TLOML, and date 4 was the day after date 3 and unplanned because his plane was cancelled due to snow before xmas.
As for me, well I've just cleaned the bathroom to within an inch of it's life to take out my frustration. Girls were all packed and ready to be dropped at dad's around 11 this morning. Said to DD2 'call Dad and make sure he's in'. He texts her back and says can't answer, he's in a meeting. Check whether he's at work, I asked her...he is. So I have arranged to meet a friend for coffee - cancelled that. Planned to pop into court to sign affidavit so we can get to DN stage in divorce - can hardly do that with kids in tow. Have hair appt at 2pm, cut and colour, deliberately timed so DDs wouldn't have to sit there arguing and fidgeting while they waited for me. I'm NOT cancelling that, so now they will have to sit there and argue and fidget while they wait for me. Bloody unreliable, self-centred b*stard.
Good job our flight to Newcastle to meet up with my friend and meet TLOML's DD (if his ex condescends to allow him access and hasn't got somewhere else to take DD just to be awkward) isn't until tomorrow afternoon, otherwise I'd be driving down the M4 and depositing two DDs, a carful of bags and 2 hamsters in exH's office reception. Perhaps I should attach 'please look after this child' tags a la Paddington Bear for good effect
