the thread for those in a relation. or not really wanting one as they enjoy the single life too much.

Talk about crossed lines Grin.

I agree its weird and pisses me off. Don't like it.

That sounds like a lovely idea. Does he like reading, any of that stuff? You could send a paper/mag/book maybe? Some writing stuff? Postcards? Choc?

This is all a bit off the top of my head!

Nmn-he's from pof, only started messaging yesterday i think, so dont know a lot about him other than he's very cheeky. I think he's a bit of a lad but that doesnt bother me. I gave him my mobile number yesterday and forgot all about it, he sent me a message today saying he'd tried to text me but it wouldnt send, turns out i sent him the wrong number lol Grin Oh actually must be 2 days ago as he messaged me yesterday asking if I could meet him, then offered to come and keep me company to which I said no offence but would never do that. He's since appologised a few times for saying that saying he was being stupid and should never have said it. So we'll see!

davidtennantsmistress · 02/05/2011 20:45

:o betty you fast mover you. lol.

NOmeansNO · 02/05/2011 20:51

flip = he's not a massive reading fan, or writing. really likes pictures. of me or anything. dunno what his fascination with pics is. i should really spend some time taking pics so i can send a bundle of them. i took some at zoo other day. might send them in hard copy format.

betty - the suprise quick meets are often lots of fun Grin

haha thanks dtm Grin prob is im good at chatting to people but just cant really be bothered with meeting! But this one seems ok and think he'll be good fun anyway Wink

flippinada · 02/05/2011 21:34

Fair dos then NmN, no point sending that stuff if he doesn't like reading.

What about favourite sweeties, stuff you can't over there?

Another idea, what about home made music CD?

ninah · 02/05/2011 21:54

nothing to listen to cds on flip
mouth organ? or is that silly. they've started jamming sessions at our local, people bring all sorts, banjo, ukelele (now that won't fit, obv)
betty he sounds a bit forward to me! but miss marple's having more sex than I am so what do i know lol

ninah · 02/05/2011 21:55

You could do one of those photo gifts, like a mug with the goat on it or summat

ninah · 02/05/2011 21:56

you and the goat i mean
the goat on its own would be a bit random

NOmeansNO · 02/05/2011 21:59

ninah - he would probably live a goat cup. lol, or perhaps a frog cups. he likes frogs. lol. a harmonica might be a good idea actually. i might go to camping store and see if they have any funky pieces of tool things too.

flippinada · 02/05/2011 22:02

CD no good then! I like the sound of the photo mug.

For daft/funny things how about Hawkins Bazaar?

Have you alreadt put in pack of cards?

PS nina actually miss marple is having more sex than me.

ninah · 02/05/2011 22:05

camping stores, lovem
you'll find stuff in there

davidtennantsmistress · 02/05/2011 22:30

:o flip/ninah. I think even the queen is having more action than me atm. lol.

keep saying it though it's not nec the action for me it's a good old fashioned man handling/grope/playing with DP's chest hair. (I know am sad on that front but tis quite therapeutic).

FairyLightsForever · 02/05/2011 22:32

Hello everybody, can I come over here and join, I feel like a fraud over on the FAI thread as I really like being single, can't be bothered with internet dating, but really like keeping up with you guys!

Flip, I was wondering where you'd gone, are you up for another get together, with maybe just one bottle of wine this time? WinkGrin Did you give up on your wee fwb then? It's been nearly 18 months since I last had sex... I seem to have become dead from the waist down Blush

ninah · 02/05/2011 22:33

you must be due soon dtm?
all going ok?

FairyLightsForever · 02/05/2011 22:34

I like chest hair too dtm, so I get that! I do like cuddles... i miss them sometimes.

ninah · 02/05/2011 22:34

hey, fairy! what happend to that thread anyhow, is it still going?

davidtennantsmistress · 02/05/2011 22:36

not yet ninah another 16 long weeks to go. still hopefully shall go quickly thou. just made the fatal error of reading the full birth announcement on here from DS's birth - I think if that happens again then i'll be sewing my parts up and joining a convent. :o

hey fairy.

ninah · 02/05/2011 22:41

why, was it awful? I found no 2 much easier than no 1
16 weeks, does that mean you get in for the end of the school year? ds was due aug but hung around til sept. extra year of nursery fees grrrr Grin

davidtennantsmistress · 02/05/2011 22:44

flf - it is nice, DP finds it annoying at times I think - ah well.

ninah - it was horrid infections 5 day stay, he was jaundice, a cap thingy stitches & a cut, (just to be brief) am due 23rd aug so hoping that he'll stay put until the first sept so he's one of the eldest not the youngest. DS is feb born so had no worries there - tbh i'm more bothered about how one dresses a NB in the height of summer - DS was 6 months or so by then so he was easier - a nappy & romper but in the house just a nappy, plus the sun creams were fine by then.

FairyLightsForever · 02/05/2011 22:48

Hmm, it seems to be dying a bit of a death, Elasta was introducing her man to kids and best friend this weekend, but no update yet, Hatesponge's diet is going well... no one has posted since saturday.

Oh dear dts, was last time bad then? i seem to have been pretty lucky with labours, but I think that I have a very high pain threashhold.

FairyLightsForever · 02/05/2011 22:50

Oh, x-post, doesn't sound like fun at all- hopefully no 2 will be much easier!

Mzdemeanour · 02/05/2011 22:53

Evening all - just posting in case everyone thought I'd run away never to be seen again - though I did run away for my first ever weekend away without the kids this weekend!

I'm fine and well and still disgustingly happy with bf - though feel am far too old to have such a thing as a boyfriend - anyone got any better/more appropriate word?

We've done the L-word and have agreed that living together is probably on the cards though not sure when .... and even less sure where ... though marriage is highly unlikely (especially as he's still married and I've never been too keen on the whole marital thing anyway despite being daft enough to do it myself once ....)

Hope everyone is good and enjoying the fantastic weather - will try very hard to read through this - and other - thread so that I can work out who's doing what (or whom!) but waving big hi to Ninah, NMN, Adamschic, Aurora and everyone else!

FairyLightsForever · 02/05/2011 22:53

I would say nappy and vest and a good sunshade when you're out and about... I had both of mine in spring (March and April), so I didn't have to worry so much.
