Where have all the fit, interesting and available men gone (part 30)

[lilacisinlove]

Yay! I did it again!

lou- good news re car coming on fri :)! hopefully ds2 will be better by then too.

shame you couldnt have an xc90, friend has one and agree they are v nice.

what did DD1 think of uni at open day?

scl- :( re exh stuff, though well done re clearout, I need to get spring cleaning but totally lacking in motivation at present.

snape also :( re absent train man...

nmn - thats good news re possible new house, fingers crossed for tommorow :)

booked tickets today to go and see England v Switzerland (Euro 2012 qualifier) in June with the boys...emailed friend - who is WMs best mate - to see if he (friend) and his DC wanted to go - he replied to say not bringing DC but would ask WM instead

well, thats not going to be awkward at all am hoping he will say no. Although tbh part of me hopes he'll say yes, not sure which is worse!

Sponge, maybe a day out with WM is just what you need

I'd gotten my hopes up that I might not be single for my 30th.

Now I am seeing the year out the same way it started..... miserable and alone. I was stupid to think that he might actually like me.

Elasta its what the DC might say to him that is worrying me :) plus the fact I haven't seen or spoken to him since I (sort of) asked him out and he turned me down

hurray for you seeing GW on friday though....

just a quick hello to everyone
.. and and at belle's news, congratulations belle, no idea the thread had been going long enough for its first pregnancy, great news!
and betty it is good to see you back, even though the reason's a bummer
msd/kdk I am glad you are happy!
all good
hate I can't believe you've lost all that weight, I decided to 'cut down' last week and I am ready to chew off my own arm

ninah, I do still have masses to lose. It's easy to lose a lot at the start when you're my size, but sticking with it is the hard bit. I know the chewing off own arm feeling well!

I used to dream at night about fit men, now its thickly buttered toast!

oh, stop, please with that toast
I am struggling with last year's clothes and too poor/mean to buy more, also don't want to keep getting fatter and fatter as well as older and older! but it's a killer
you are well on your way with that loss. By the summer you will be totally svelte.
As I intend to be (unless I get put away for larder rage)

lol at larder rage

am looking forward to svelte me...last seen in the early Noughties!

Cool, you'll appreciate it all the more
if ever wedding man asks you out in your confident new svelteness, do, please, turn him down and enjoy it! nn

Good evening everyone :)

Sponge - omg, WM is so under your skin. Hope he wakes up one of these days :)

SCL - I heard your union was out on strike. :( Blardy country is a shambles.

NMN - I am so of your energy and zest for pulling and keeping your life together

Lou - oh, the smell of a new car...... enjoy :)

Elasta - I think you're going to be on the sofa soon :)

News from me is that I think Celtic is a player. I hope he's got his working boots on if he's wanting to get near me!

at extended use of emoticons

ok.
i shant leave.
;)

Snape - :( at the lesser spottings of Train main. And well done for giving up on PM. I know what its like, but to be honest ( if harsh) if it was going to happen, it would have happened...probably.

Sponge - well done on the weight loss again?

Flame, think nomeansno is probably right. less thinking is the cure :)

2.5 weeks of no mr big contact, 3 more days and thats the longest ever. Im mostly ok about it too. Surprising. Sad to have lost a friend but life goes on.

Boatman... ah. Well. Im REALLY looking forward to meeting him. Lots. Most days are text tastic and a fair bit of msn most evenings. ( he knows im currently lacking childcare). Hes is actually interesting, and is funny. he has two young children, so knows what its like himself and we spent quite a few hours swapping funny children stories last night. which was nice to be able to talk about that kind of stuff, rather than just trying to be all cool, you know?

Hi TKFS So pleased you are back!

I'm another one trying to lose weight ATM. Have put on a bit lately and its not improving my looks! Mind you traveller last night said he thought I'd lost wieght and looked really good

yay.

:)

I just thought the comments were a bit harsh, but maybe they were abit tongue in cheek and i missed that.

and i was fecking tired and grumpy because i had spent all day painting fence pannels. and that is just not fun at all!!

so - im quite excited about boatman :) Its been nice to just chat a little first before we get round to meeting, because ill know if we have anything in common at all. and hopefully avoid the quaisomodo situation.
i cant get enthuastic about meeting up with people if i dont think we are going to have some kind of something.. ive done the meeting quick, just because you never know and that is just not right for me.

hes off to china for 2 weeks easter time. I should have childcare from about 5 days before he goes.

What would you guys do? meet up with him and then have to wait while he is away?

Or just wait until he gets back?

I would meet him. Then if you really like each other you will have something to look forward to when he gets back. GW has been away 10 days, but has e mailed daily and I just cant wait to see him again

But even if i dont meet him, ill still have something to look forward to when he comes back.

Im kind of thinking just wait until he gets back.

I know it seems ages away, but because of the ex husband going away and having to blag some childcare to cover events and things i was already committed too, i dont want to blag anymore as family are already helping me out.

hes actually been really understanding of this and i said i wasnt dating for 6 weeks.
and then hes away just days within ( if the ex comes back on time... highly highly unlikely) my childcare being sorted. And even if we do set a date for something ( we are going bowling) then to be honest, ill bet ill end up cancelling. The ex has never in 13 years ever been back on the day he is meant to be ( army) and then DD will be really upset.

It kind of seems easier to just set it for when he gets back from china.

which seems bloody ages away.

more crappy news, i had a call earlier from my vet to say my cat had been brought in after being hit by a car, and didnt survive

kids are distraught, i have to go get him in about an hour

what a LOVELY day! warm! spring-like! :)

Lou. :( so sorry. i know it's no help at all, but, oh! the good times! :) all have a good cry and hae a laugh at the daft bits.

NMN, house news? good luck!

Took, I'd meet him before he goes away if possible. if he' delish, then you have something nice to look forwards to - if he's not, then it's done. :)

Lord no - haven't given up on PM. can't. won't. just not possible. I admire your fortitude at length of time w/o contacting Big. I still cling to the vague hope that he will realise the errors of his ways & finally get what a catch i am! (hahahahaah!) and i'm not losing my best friend. i'm just not. unhealthy, i know. aaahhh well. I'm giving up on random internet datingness, i think.

train man update anyone? not exciting at all,I'm afraid, but there has been a sighting!

Ooooh a sighting!!!! :o

I am so so sorry Lou :(

I am trying to decide whether to reactivate my account on POF or not. Think I will get my birthday weekend out the way. I am going out with my friends, possibly maybe Carrot too (:o:o:o), and just having fun without boy angst. Well, probably without boy angst assuming both Mattarse and Carrot don't turn up.

Agree with being impressed about MrBig. I am never giving up hope that Carrot will see sense.

Oh Lou, really sorry about your cat..

Thanks everyone. We have buried him now.

A v strange day. We lose our cat and this evening i find myself back at the vet after finding a lost cocker spaniel.

She was v sweet and temporarily distracted the kids from how upset they are.

Dp has taken ds1 to watch him go karting with some work mates, to take his mind off it.

Lou sorry to hear this :(

Hope you dp and ds's are ok.

:( for burying.

I have reactivated POF. Dunno why tbh. Got a message within 2 mins though which is nice, even if he doesn't appeal particularly.
