Nice, Aurora.

I carn't stop thinking about my doorstep salesman encounter. Blush Not that I expect to hear anything again but one can dream.

The mouse pointer - it was hovered over first or previous or something by the thread title

aurorastargazer · 31/01/2011 16:37

what? i have obviously missed something lol

vimes said to catch the first bus up to his house - he should be back from school run by then. the first bus from the stop nearest me is....

half 6.
i shall have got to his before he leaves on school run Grin

Flame · 31/01/2011 16:37

I would love an encounter like that :o

aurorastargazer · 31/01/2011 16:39

strange about the pointer then flame

Remotew · 31/01/2011 16:42

It was a bit surreal and romantic, he certainly made an impression from the moment I saw him. sigh

Flame · 31/01/2011 16:50

Indeed!

Strawb has a rash all over her belly. It is raised so hoping it is some sort of random pointless rash rather than a childhood wotsit.

right i have to go now ladies, library access is short lived unfortunately Grin

The red hair has gone. I am in mourning and slightly shocked at my own reflection.
Proabably not the best planning to be dumped and then drastically change hair colour to something you dont really want all in 24hrs of each other.

persephonesnape · 31/01/2011 19:32

you'll get used to the dark hair TK,

gruding acceptance that the best sexual encounter of the last 17 months was the man on the very crowded tube on thursday night getting an involuntary Hmm erection as his cock rubbed up against my arse. if the boys had not been with me, i would have insisted he at least buy me a drink first. Grin. still, it's lit a bit of a fire. i think i need a shag.

also, delightful ladies who have visited my OKC whhhhhhhhhhhhhhy are you single? whaaaaaaaat is wrong with men?

Flame · 31/01/2011 19:36

why didn't I get to see the okc link??

lmao @ tube man

persephonesnape · 31/01/2011 19:45

it's still there...upthread..

really, was actually a bit of a hottie. would have been a far worse experience if he was smelly, tubby and/or elderly. :)

Flame · 31/01/2011 19:51

Sent you a message :o

persephonesnape · 31/01/2011 19:55

my dismay at the gorgeous witty delightful women here, having to deal with cocks has just increased tenfold.

Flame, your profile is lovely! what a hot piccie!

Flame · 31/01/2011 19:59

Thank you :)

My mate's new man met me a couple of times over the weekend, and only realised last night that I was the "serial dater" he had heard about - he wants to know why I am single as I am fit apparently Wink. He had to dig himself out of that...

elastamum · 31/01/2011 20:58

Grin flame!

Have just had a message from new man - call him prof - who has been messaging me on and off since xmas. He had sort of dissapeared, but apparently has been doing research in Africa - says he had tried to message me from there but it didnt work!

He looks really interesting so I have suggested that i might be around on Sunday as kids are away - nothing ventured Grin

Hatesponge · 31/01/2011 21:49

aurora, vimes looks lovely :)

elasta - exciting re date for sunday already lined up!

I'm just back from SW, and can report in the last week have lost 7.5 lbs Grin

Is probably mostly water but am still quite pleased, I may have no chance of a date for the foreseeable BUT at least I'm getting thinner!

lilacisinlove · 31/01/2011 22:01

wow sponge, well done!

evening

remember last week when i thought i had used up the things happen in 3's quota?

i think i may have been too hasty, as this evening when dp was underneath the washing machine trying to get it going again, it caught fire!

quite spectacularly i am told , he had to wrench the pipes out of it and haul it into the garden whist it was still aflame!

lots of smoke too

(sighs)

fortunately i had arranged to take a load or 10 to a launderette a few miles away tomorrow for a service wash, so will have some clean clothes for us all, but i may have to beg friends to use their machines on a rota for the forseeable , as i have to conjure up £500 for the motability car at the beginning of march, and that has to take priority

however, the good news today is ds1 has been given the all clear wrt his stomach problems at the end of last year, and the consultant also let me ask him about ds dislocating his rotator cuff last week and how best to minimise another incident like that at school (ds has ehlers-danlos syndrom which causes hypermobile joints, easy bruising, slow healing plus more, so is more prone to joint issues, especially in those that have already had a trauma)

i have emailed the head of his year asking to check if it is marked down in his records, and to let the sport teachers know that he is not advised to do a lot of high contact sport, especially as he gets older

lou33 · 31/01/2011 22:26

ooh well done sponge !

i wouldve mentioned it in my previous post, but i wrote that ages ago and only just realised i hadnt posted it!

ballstoit · 31/01/2011 22:44

Would you mind if I join you? Have been single for about 6 months and have just started delving into internet dating. Dont know if I'll be bothering for much longer!

Stats for Jan - 1 date, 0 snogs, 1 hand hold (I am apparently 12 again as this was very exciting!), 0 shags. It's been 18 months Shock.

lilacisinlove · 31/01/2011 22:51

Welcome ballstoit :)

Degrees of success with internet dating vary enormously, I was one of the lucky ones! Don't count dates any more, too many snogs to count...umm, too many shags to count too Blush.

ballstoit · 31/01/2011 23:07

Maybe my luck will change then, wont hold my breath though!

JustForThisOne · 31/01/2011 23:33

guys.... I need your help
I am really talking about the ABC of getting back into dating
Hard to believe I had been such a total flirt and up beat for most of my life, since I had ds son I turned into a mum and a nun. So wrong!
