yes I do, as well as specs, I have the ones you sleep in as well - word of warning, if you get ones you're meant to take out, but go out drinking get pissed as a fart & then wake up the next day you're not cured - it's not a miricle and god doesn't exsist. :o lol. (yup been there and was astounded I woke up & could see actually see!).

the 30 day ones are good. yes they stop in at high speeds/heights & don't usually dry out too much - sometimes do, but it's only when waking up I find once the air's back around your eyes again they're fine until they need changing. Mine never do/did too well at the swimming pool thou they're fine in showers etc but googles are to be worn in the pool. :)

pmsl dtm! Yeah I can imagine that scenario. I have the daily disposables, they're great, not that I do any sport at all. Hmm, riding at high speeds - you SURE this is not canal side bike riding lol
but yy to contact lenses, they have come a long way from the uncomfortable glass discs they used to be

davidtennantsmistress · 21/05/2011 20:04

How are we all then today?

i'm totally amazed - got 83% in my last CMA - & 60% in the one for the new course. AMAZED. better crack on & finish the written assignments up I guess now.

ninah · 22/05/2011 12:16

NOmeansNO · 22/05/2011 22:10

:o NMN - I did wonder what you were about to say with ebony. lol.

thanks am very proud - and off to have a look at irish - i'm not sure we class that as soh - althou if he's a different post code then you can't possibly ever enter into a relationship so that means it's ok to contact him?!? - bit like seeing two men from different postcodes means it's not cheating :o

NOmeansNO · 22/05/2011 22:43

mrst - he's the person who commented on the ebony post. i knew he would though Wink

oooh quiet in here.

where's monty? i think she's at ikea getting a new sofa . wonder what kind of design she will go for?
i'm thinking she isn't the floral type. but neither the leather modern ultra trendy but extremely uncomfortable. i think it will be fabric, huge and comfy

davidtennantsmistress · 24/05/2011 22:37

:o sorry nmn study/reading another thread, bit : now (the skint thread) think I might well need to be buying my mum & nan a nice bunch of flowers each come friday's pay day, after all their support.

Monty27 · 24/05/2011 23:20

Speak of the Devil Grin

DTM - CONGRATS! How good is that, all that mega multitasking you're doing. You deserve one big hug slap on the back girlie! Smile

PMSL @ postcode, love ittt!

NMN you have it so right...... my sofas were bought on ebay, hardly used, literally (and the sofabed had never been used until March Grin), bright red, fabric, big comfy buggers they are Grin

Still loved up.... and getting stronger all the time. I hope he isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

@ me forgetting the bad bits about dc's, ooooo nooooo, you know when they say this is the easy bit (when they're younger)? Believe it, I'm telling you now, believe it, I thought people were talking bollox, but, believe it, and enjoy it....... Grin. Not that I'm scaremongering of course Shock, but just believe it. Did I say 'believe it?' Cos if you don't believe it, believe it.

Enough already. Grin

Waves at Ninah et al. Smile

davidtennantsmistress · 25/05/2011 08:15

thanks monty - did you buy then or sell did you say?

come on i'll move my ample expanding self over a bit & you can squidge next to me on our sofa. glad you're still loved up. how old are your DC's?

Ds has been a corker lately. really comical with stuff he's coming out with lol.

NOmeansNO · 25/05/2011 21:19

Hi everyone, wow I havent posted for ages! Been very busy was away then when I got back have been concentrating on sorting dd1's bedroom, should be finished this weekend when all the furniture is delivered :)

Not much happening on the man front, am meant to be meeting bigscot on sun, not sure if im looking foward to it or not Confused he seems really nice but since we've move to texting its gone a bit boring.

nmn-I had a quick peek at irish Wink

dtm-well done on the results :)

monty-glad to hear the sofa is still as comfy Wink

Monty27 · 27/05/2011 15:28

NMN - thank you she is a bit isn't she Blush

Betty Envy at getting stuff done. Why is the texting boring?

I'm delighted to say Celtic is still keeping me happy Grin

Betty79 · 27/05/2011 20:27

Hi Monty, urm not really sure why the texting is boring, I dunno I think we need to meet really as we've been messaging now for a few weeks and I think it can become a bit stale if you dont meet up to see if you get on, well thats what im thinking it is. Anyway I will meet him as I need to get over that hurdle again at least if nothing else comes of it, and sun night on a bank hol weekend is usually

I'm pleased with myself with dd's room, I wish i had took a photo of what it was like a month ago, it was my junk room Blush and im ashamed to say at one point you couldnt really move in it! I've ordered dd a high bed with a chair and desk underneath and am thinking tommorow is going to be a loooong day putting it together lol but it will be worth it!

NOmeansNO · 28/05/2011 17:11

hi all.

betty - i like the sound of the bedroom. need to stick a pic up on fb when you get it done.

how did you guess which was irish?

i did something last night that you ladies would smile at. but i cant post on here as it'll give me away and its someone hugely famous but his name gets googled so dont want it coming up on google search. but he can be called the frenchman

i think i will be staying in tonight. need to behave Blush.

and bigscot - i think you could be right about needing to meet to find out if you have anything more in common and spark up more conversation.

monty - Grin at celtic keeping you in smiles

OP posts:
Monty27 · 28/05/2011 20:24

Betty - I'm more I'm more than impessed with that bedroom Shock Well done you.

NMN - I'm going to stalk you on fb to find out what's been going on.

Celitc's mum is down this week and then they're going on holiday for 10 days.... ffs I'm gonna be lost.... I dare say we'll see each other a bit but....

In with the dc's tonight with chinese food, didn't know the footie was on instead of bgt grrrrrr lolol

Betty79 · 28/05/2011 21:14

I know monty, not impressed with footie replacing bgt either grrr! Thanks for the comments on the bed, I'm really pleased with it. Mind you I should be given that it was not cheap lol Ive told dd1 that she will have to keep it now till she's 18 cos it cost so much!!

nmn-I looked on fb cos you had said on here he had commented on recent posts and well there was someone who looked like he fitted the bill, so I'm assuming it was irish lol I'm intreagued to know what you have been up to with a famous frenchman???!!

Monty-ahh 10 days without celtic, what will you do lol??

NOmeansNO · 29/05/2011 00:13

monty - i sent you a fb msg giving you an update Wink

i made a cake for a friend and then went to pub for a pint. no sleep has taken its toll. i am finally giving up and heading to the haystack.

beachbum is coming round at 8am for a coffee! he'll probably cancel before then as usual Grin.

betty - room looks amazing. well done you!!!! dd must be delighted.

OP posts:
Betty79 · 29/05/2011 19:23

hi ladies, no date with bigscot tonight after all, he cancelled cos his ex is ill and told him he couldnt take his son back Confused if he's telling the truth (and I do think he is) she sounds like she is hard work!

nmn-thanks for the comments on dd's room, she loves and and im so pleased its turned out well :)

did beachbum actullay turn up or do his usual trick?

I was invited round to friends instead tonight but decided im too tired to go! Hope you are all having a nice long weekend!

NOmeansNO · 29/05/2011 19:44

betty - thats a shame for you date. was looking forward to your report.

does his ex put you off him?

beachbum did indeed turn up. he's got extra buff Grin and my friend saw him coming out of mine. she was aghast and thought i had an 8am booty call before we went shopping. she doesn't believe we actually only had coffee Wink BUT we did. perfectly angelic. she knows about the frenchman. she says its not fair to have so many "hotties" on the radar.

i have asked frenchman if he wants to do something sporty with me tomorrow. wishin i hadn't now. as he might say no! i genuinely want to go as friends with him as its something he's an expert at. but now i have asked it seems like i am asking him on a date, which is a bit forward i think. doh!

how is everyone?
