Well if nothing else, Smurf is good for my house. I am trying to get it straight so he can come round at some point

Don Draper will not be living with us - he's found somewhere else - oh! cruel rejection! :(

I sat opposite trainman this morning. it was the only seat left - the only alternative would have been to stand all the way into London. :) Our knees bumped a couple of times. and he caught he drooling Hmmlooking at his reflection in the window a couple of times and smiled - so I then had to pretend to be asleep, or i would have.. i don't know... (!) he has amazing eyes. chocolate brown.

elasta - traveller sounds interesting :) maybe it just wasn't right the first time round...

Can you take a sneaky photo of train man please

aurorastargazer · 02/03/2011 12:27

say hello to him snape!!

Snapespeare · 02/03/2011 14:07

auuuuuuugh!

how could I possibly take a 'sneaky' photo of train man! I could only do this if there were a convienient hole at my feet about to swallow me up if he saw me take it.

I stood up after him on the train and watched his arse him walk out of the station. amazing eyes. FABulous arse!

JustForThisOne · 02/03/2011 14:42

is he keeping the opposite seat available or what?
how come on a busy train it is always empty?
uhmm... why dont you ask? Grin
or, I would go and seat somewhere else, this agony is torturing me! Smile

tookoolforskool · 02/03/2011 15:46

you need to follow him, like some kind of detective investigator. all hiding behind lamp posts. make sure you do some comedy tip toeing as well.

heard nothing from TB ALL day. I know hes working but i know he will have had breaks.. becuase last week he was constantly texting me in them.
Im suspecting sunday is off. I think ill leave buddists as set for two weeks time, becuase im not that fussed, and have got a childs party invite to go to that day too.

Flame · 02/03/2011 17:25

Pretend to be texting up high?

elastamum · 02/03/2011 17:49

Love the train man update!! Grin

Well GW is taking me out tomorrow night again!!! Am Smile.

As for traveller, lets wait and see whether he ships up on Saturday before I worry what to say. Ds2 has decided he really likes him - been telling my au pair all about him this morning! Confused

tookoolforskool · 02/03/2011 18:19

Flame, I don't understand what you mean?

Elasta, 4 th date... no wonder your :)

elastamum · 02/03/2011 19:26

5th date too kool!! and he is taking me to see a film he has already seen as I wanted to go [grn]

elastamum · 02/03/2011 19:27

oops! Grin

Hatesponge · 02/03/2011 19:29

elasta 4th date :) great news!

snape shame about flatmate, but on the plus side - train man Grin we need a photo....try and stand up when he's sitting down, maybe better angle/less obvious than sitting next to him. As will be apparent, I am useless at this stuff. Others will give you better advice as to surreptitious photo-taking :)

tookool, thats a shame re TB. Has he not mentioned Sunday at all recently?

Am not bothering with Sat date, too much hard work. Was quite optimistic about the one a week on Friday, until today that is. Met friend for lunch - the one who's v good mates with WM - and spent entire lunch with him telling me all about what WM has been up to, how drunk he was at the weekend etc. which has made me realise that I'm not half as interested or attracted to anyone on POF as I am/was to WM. Am telling myself this is simply because I know him well, whereas the POF blokes are more unknown quantities. And I guess at least they are prepared to go out with me, which is more than he was!

Why am I even still interested in what he's doing?....Blush

Hatesponge · 02/03/2011 19:30

5th date, better still :)

elastamum · 02/03/2011 19:33

Yes, going out near his, then will be driving home. But have decided if it goes well he will get an invite to mine the next weekend the kids are away. Even I can only hold out so long in the face of passionate good night snogs Blush

whats up Lou??

lou33 · 02/03/2011 21:46

unbelievably, eddie, my 8 month old jack russell/ patterdale cross was attacked a couple of hours ago by a german shepherd, when my girls were walking him down our road on their way back home

elastamum · 02/03/2011 21:53

Oh no, poor you, poor Eddie! Is he OK?

lilacisinlove · 02/03/2011 21:58

lou, whatever next Sad...are he and the girls ok?

OP posts:
lou33 · 02/03/2011 22:19

he was dashed to the vet with puncture wounds and bruising and a bloodshot eye, plus a nosebleed

dd1 was kicking the other dog trying to get it off, and it went for her tho missed

the owner was doing the same but it bit her
dd2 was trying to pull eddie away

dd2 is v shakey about it all, the gs owner has paid for eddies vet bill and is v apologetic etc, but despite that i do think i need to report it, what if it had been a child?

elastamum · 02/03/2011 22:52

OMG that is awful, I think you should report it too. It could have so easily been much worse. Dog needs to be muzzled and on a lead at least.

Poor you, that is all you need right now ((((hugs))))for you all Sad

lou33 · 02/03/2011 23:03
