Lou, (((((Sad)))), hope Dora is doing OK. We have lots of dogs and it is heartbreaking when they are really sick.

Beaut, really sorry it has not worked out for you.

Well, last night was great. We met near mine, just a really nice evening, really easy conversation all night. Neither of us is dating anyone else, though his ex doesnt know he is dating and he doesnt know what she is doing either as they just dont discuss that sort of thing. Long kiss and cuddle in pub car park again - really must stop meeting like this!

I decided to to stay over near his this week as temptation just too great and I want us to get to know each other first. So we are going to the pictures thursday night when I am on my way home. So far, so good Smile

SparklyMily · 01/03/2011 10:51

elasta, gosh, sounds very promising Smile, so pleased for you, have got everything crossed GW has it in him to be good enough for you

Zanywany · 01/03/2011 11:07

Hi everyone

Not surprised you feel so sad Beautician as it hasn't been long and I think your doing the righ thing in not seeing him as it will just prolong things for you. Agree with getting under someone else to get over someone Grin

Hope your dog is OK Lou, keeping my fingers crossed for you.

SPonge hope you've got your key back without any copies being made, I've had to had new locks a couple of times, makes me Angry to think a guy would make you have the expense just so you can feel safe in your own house.

Any news on Sunday yet Tookool

elastamum · 01/03/2011 11:18

Hey MILY, That sould have said NOT staying over near his!! At least not yet.

Am hopeful about this one. He is just really nice, grounded, very very bright, but not an idiot alpha male like most of the men I have dated. And a very good snog, def a spark Blush

lou33 · 01/03/2011 12:23

Hi, and thanks for your concern

There has been no change so far. Am taking the girls to see her at 2 pm si can tell you more then

adamschic · 01/03/2011 12:38

Hey Lou, hope she improves. St Davids

tookoolforskool · 01/03/2011 12:38

hope there is a change for the good.

ive heard from him, swapped a few texts. he did mention sunday...
But has gone all quiet again. Decided to text him that i hope hes ok as hes gone a bit quiet, and did he want to cancel sunday... no point messing about after all that has been said and seen. lol

oh, hes replied about 2 seconds later.
:)

eastamum. that sounds liek it went pretty perfectly. am [jealous]

beautican.. bless you. of course you still love him, you dont stop loving someone over night, no matter how much of an arse they have been. Eat chocolate and be nice to yourself....

am very excited, not only do i have new pants, i also have sissor sisters tickets!!!! Which completes my summer music plans. cant wait. love it!!

Flame · 01/03/2011 13:16

Thinking of you Lou. My mum's dog has been hit and miss lately :(

I am lost with everyone apart from Beaut, although even there - is this a general man to be under to get over or a specific possible??

Seeing Smurf tonight, he is cooking for me. Mattarse is talking to me again :) Not in that way, I am done with that, and assuming he is too. He seems to have fallen for someone, but is being v cagey as to who which is annoying as I am a nosy cow. Didn't realise how much I had missed chatting with him though.

Smurf still deflects everything with another one liner. I can't tell if he is evasive or if it is a protective wall thing. The occasions when he has relaxed and opened up he seems fine, so I think it is probably a wall. We've all got em in different ways I guess. Too much hurt in life not too.

Flame · 01/03/2011 13:18

TooK - is yours the hot one that you didn't know if it was a fling or what?

Snapespeare · 01/03/2011 13:45

Lou. :(

TK - so you're ON for sunday? new pants! whaheyyy! :)

Beaut. :( it will pass, really. :(

Flame, sounds like a lovely evening :)

trainman was bloody EARLY (or i was late!) & the train was ON TIME. I dashed down the stairs to see train pulling out of station and TM happily sitting in a seat with a SPARE SEAT OPPOSITE HIM.

I am sulking.

tookoolforskool · 01/03/2011 14:34

Gggrrr. How annoying.
Did he look like he was just back from a weekends with some Natalie portman type... or did he look like he was looking for train woman, ie you??

I think Sunday is still on, he didn't say otherwise? I have a feeling it might end up being cancelled though.. you can sort of tell when someobes not feeling it anymore can't you.

I'm sort of not fussed either way.

lou33 · 01/03/2011 14:44

Dora was more like dora today iyswim.

The vet says its still early days but she looks in less pain and acted like it too. I know that is in some part down to her methadons, but an improvement is an improvement yes?

elastamum · 01/03/2011 15:38

Hi Lou, I do hope she is on the mend. Sending her a dog biscuit (in a nice way!) Biscuit and some wine for you Wine Smile

lou33 · 01/03/2011 16:51

ty :)

i have done my final visit today with the boys to see her, and she is def more herself , but still a long way to go

she has been sick once, but that us being thought to be related to the combination of drugs she is on, so she has been given an anti emetic, and her tummy was sore today, probably because she tried to put her paws on ds2 in his wheelchair

overall the vet is pleased with her but agrees she still has reason to be cautious

Snapespeare · 01/03/2011 18:57

potential new flatmate just left - smoking hot in a Dan Draper way. must not perve over potential flat mate.

yes, clearly train man was scanning platform for me - or sitting looking at his infernal iphone, chatting away to natalie portman. ...Envy

Hatesponge · 01/03/2011 20:10

who is Dan Draper? Blush am sure I prob should know....damn popular culture :)

lou, SO pleased to here good news re dora. Know it's early days though and will be keeping my fingers crossed, but lets hope she's over the worst and on the road to recovery!

tookool, anything more re TB? Hopefully he won't cancel...but i know what you mean about getting that feeling that they're about to - think my date for Sat has blown me out; I didnt reply to an email for about 2 hours (I was busy!) and he sent me some flouncy mail saying I knew where he was if I wanted to keep in touch! Hmm Can't bear passive-aggressive men. So am prob going to cancel now myself even if he still wants to meet.

beaut, dont be hard on yourself, I know it sounds ever so trite but just give it time (((())))

elasta, good news re date, sounds as though is all going well :)

all kicked off at work today - not directly connected to me but my team members and others, HR now involved, top manager coming down tomorrow to sort it, cant say too much about it but basically all down to 1 totally unreasonable, v volatile person....not good.

Snapespeare · 01/03/2011 20:44

oh sponge - feel for you with your workstuff. stress stress stress!

tsk at self = don draper = oh my!

please live with me mister draper. i'll make you martinis! [blush}

Hatesponge · 01/03/2011 21:08

oooh snape, how exciting! have come over all Blush and Grin

if he moves in please can you invite me round for martinis, I don't live far away....Grin I'll bring my own olives!

Snapespeare · 01/03/2011 21:13

you would be very welcome! clearly i could not shag my very recently unpartnered absolutely delightful male flatmate. what would train man think!? ;)

Hatesponge · 01/03/2011 21:21

we could double date with train man and new flatmate!

and a tray of martinis...so sophisticated!

Grin

sorry am getting over excited! I blame this at least in part on the sight of a naked Rupert Penry-Jones on TV a few minutes ago....

elastamum · 01/03/2011 22:28

ARRRGH!!!

Well I have had an interesing evening. Have been climbing with DS2 and who should walk right into me but traveller - oldies might remember him - he who I dated for a while, then took me out to dinner to tell me all about his new GF!

Still as seriously fit as ever, starts chatting as if he last saw me a few days ago, rather than six months, telling me how he has been all over the world and also BTW that its not happening with GF any more.

Then proceeds to be absolutely great with DS2,talking climbing with him and giving him tips. When we go to leave, says he will come along for a coffee on sat to watch DS2 in his competition.

He still makes me go weak at the knees and I've no idea why - you should see him climb though ladies, he brings a whole new dimension to the word fit Blush.

BUT Having just met the lovely Mr GW, he is the last person I need back in my life right now Confused

Flame · 01/03/2011 23:35

Oooooooooooh I think traveller was when I first started. Or was at least mentioned more then.

Glad Dora isn't getting worse iyswim.

XH attempted to do the whole rargh you're back obscenely late (11.20pm), I have work tomorrow bit. It would have been more effective were the tart's car not parked outside. He either borrowed it or she hid down. They are insane.

Smurf fab.

tookoolforskool · 02/03/2011 07:46

lou, glad shes looking good at the momment. everything crossed for you.

snape. wow. i would be following him around with my tongue hanging out of my mouth. Whens he letting you know if hes taking it by?

sponge - sorry about the work thing, and hope you date hasnt got cold feet about sat. ( yeah, i reckon its quite easy to tell)

elasta - i dont know the traveller story, but bloody timing. still if he was the one who took you to dinner to tell you he was seeing someone else??? probably wouldnt go there.

still have no idea about TB. We was working till 10.30last night. Text me about 8pm ish and then again at 11.30, just general chit chat stuff. Feels a bit flat.
