Hello ladies, nice to see you all sounding pretty happy.

Sorry about your parents SCL, it's probably the most complicated relationship to deal with. They can make you feel so guilty about something, or like you're 5 again and it's so easy to feel out of control and on the back foot when talking to them Sad
I found that moving the other end of the country helped, but I was in a very different position to you in that my parents are divorced, so I always had the fall back argument that their lives weren't perfect either, if they critisised too much Grin They both [mostly] accept who I am now.

I saw the photos of you at Ascot, sponge- you look amazing, you must be really proud of yourself.

And while we're on teh subject of photos, your profile pic on FB is gorgeous too, monty!

i'll keep my fingers crossed about the course and the Rainbows, aurora.

I remember holiday man too, Ninah, he was always a little bit flakey, wasn't he?

Well, I have nothing to report, I cannot face internet dating, my profile is mostly hidden, I have reactivated it once or twice, but it just makes me depressed! I need to get out and do more socialising otherwise I will never meet anyone... It has been 18 months since I last had sex! Shock I think I've been dead from the waist down for a long time, but I'm starting to miss it now

hello everyone Smile

i think this thread may be slowly dying Sad i have had a hell of a lot of support from here

is it safe to come back now?

nothing really to report SFPM has just told me he's started to see 'someone' so have spent last day in a teary fug,

but did get on train with trainman this morning, for the first time in ages! had sat near him ne day and overheard him mentioning his wife to a colleague, so have been avoiding. I can still look, can't I?

Hi All,

Have been lurking around but thought I ought to show some solidarity and post. Not on the dating scene anymore as still snuggled up with the lovely GW.
Have been seeing him once or twice a week since feb and talking everyday. Is all great, have met each others friends and kids and last week we took my 2 and his youngest to the pictures together. They seemed to get on so all very happy. Only downside is distance - we are 1 1/2hrs apart. But at least we dont get bored with each other

Will keep popping in to see how you are all doing Smile.

elastamum · 15/07/2011 10:58

Snape!! married trainman, damn! Sad

aurorastargazer · 15/07/2011 11:01

hi elasta Smile

elastamum · 15/07/2011 19:56

Hi Star, whats doing with you?? Smile

aurorastargazer · 16/07/2011 21:31

i'm great thanks still with vimes it's been 10 months now - that's gone quick!

dd's sports day (her first one at her new school) on monday, so fingers crossed for that. her 'father' hasn't turned up for one yet Biscuit so fingers crossed he doesn't show at this one. let me explain - he expects a handwritten invite, he's had a letter from the new school yet hasn't replied. i'm not going to hold his hand or kowtow to him anymore he can stick it. for her nursery one, i told him and he never showed. i just said this is the time, this is the date, dd wants you there. his excuse? he was waiting for an invite. her last one - she won the hula hoop race her first words were 'did daddy see me?' (he didn't cos he couldn't be arsed to book the day off> so for this one i haven't even told him. he should have said to the school, yes i want a newsletter, so i don't know if he knows or not. same for the school photos - i told him. (i knew from last year that he wouldn't be giving me the money, so i just said either phone the school or go to the website. tough if he's missed it.

and breathe Grin

sorry for the rant. have finally got csa to put DoE on his wages, but it could be very patchy payment. the first one is supposed to be due sometime soon for over 300quid (month's maintenance, PLUS arrears) i won't be holding my breath lol

am looking forwards to going away camping with vimes, dd and his ds beginning of august - first holiday with a bf too Grin

aurorastargazer · 16/07/2011 21:31

long post sorry Grin

how are you elasta? Smile

Hatesponge · 20/07/2011 00:00

Quick hello from me, as am off in 2.5 hours to Spain Grin Grin if I ever finish packing in time that is.....

Not much going on menwise. Weightwise am closing in on 4 stone now so feeling a bit pleased with myself, and busy buying lots of new clothes!

Work is crap, looking forward to a week away from it all! My train man ( :( re yours snape, married - this is why I'm a fan of men wearing wedding rings, then you know straight away) seems to have gone on hols as not seen him for about a week. We are now on sort of nodding/smiling terms which is a bit Blush. Few msgs on POF, but no-one who overly floats my boat...

Will be back next weekend hopefully having had a good hols :) (notwithstanding the terrible reviews on holiday watchdog which I only read AFTER I'd booked the holiday of course!)

Just sticking my nose in quick - damn train man!!!!

Not been on as I stopped all attempts at online dating etc, stopped MN and just got on with life. I appear to have acquired a man thing, which I am not going into details of, but I am happy. :)

Hope you're all good

Hello, is it too late to join?

Had DD2 four months ago, so not up to dating at present, but wondering. How do you start? I would love to meet someone one day, to have a
positive influence on my daughters, but at the same time at age 40 now just don't see it ever happening.
Who would take on me and two young children? (not to mention the ex!!)
