My friends all seem to have hit on lucky with their partners it's making me feel lonely!

Are there any nice men left? I never seem to meet any

Lookin Not sure if I got the desired effect. I did what you said and was somewhat shocked to realise that the tears were streaming down my cheeks when I was visualising.

I filled two sides of A4 and smiled as I wrote each one down.

Now I just have to wait and see what happens

Have been lurking on this thread as I too would like to meet a nice man, after 4 years happily single.

I placed a cosmic order a couple of weeks ago - and I think something is happening! Seriously, someone who (on paper) sounds like my ideal man has asked me on a date. Only problem is that he lives 100 miles away. But can't have everything.

So yes, get ordering!

sorry my fingers are still pissed

NotWankinginaWinterWonderland · 02/12/2012 11:16

Maybe I need paper for my flooring? I was just visualizing nice floors, not here yet.....my room did get changed round though, I like it better now...my back is sore-ish though.

That is actually a great reaction AmIthattinselly. Tears are really good - they were clearing away stuff you were holding onto that needed to go. I wept buckets when I did mine!! What is reallly good is that you smiled as you wrote what you wanted - you were really starting to feel it. Well done!!

That's great news niceup. Keep us posted on that one, and even if it isn't him, there will be a reason for him popping up.

Any other progress reports? Amithatscary and Mama??

Keep going NotW .... try cutting out a picture of what you'd like and putting it somewhere that you can see it. I furnished my whole house like this. Either by putting images up or writing a little note to the universe. Do you know definitely what it is you want? Oh and just as my girls were telling me to go on Take Me Out Xmas Hmm I needed a boyfriend, my man appeared! Your kids are onto something!! Xmas Grin

NotWankinginaWinterWonderland · 03/12/2012 19:36

I now have pictures on my fridge (always in the fridge for something) no men yet, just flooring. Xmas Grin

Oh I seen a man last night, some people last year tried to 'get us together' Xmas Hmm I was mortified anyway ignored him from then on and was slipping about the park with my dog last night and who was there 'the man' Xmas Blush

I stuttered a 'oh hi hello' then ran/slipped on ice lots away..... I have not been ordering a man, flooring first Mr Cosmic order person, get it right please. Flooring then man, possibly.

Lookingatclouds · 05/12/2012 09:46

But seeing him twice? The universe is trying to get your attention!! What does he do for a living? Maybe he's fits carpets and flooring Xmas Grin.

No something to do with diesel, he has 2 cars though, I could use one, my insurance just went us ...Xmas Grin he kinda fits the bill, taller than me, dark hair, nice guy but I have known him since I was 10, I seen him viewing me on a dating website, I think we both cringed, nothing was said, he logged off and so did I. Xmas Blush

My parents think I am nuts, I was at hospital with DS yesterday, they took us in as my driving in ice skills are the best, I had my picture of my flooring with me, explained what I was doing, they just said 'hmm yes very good' (whilst laughing @ me - I even gave Noel Edmond's a mention they love Deal or No Deal and I read about him doing this years ago) Xmas Hmm

Oh rubbish my Dad actually said 'would you like me to get it?' I said 'no I am cosmically ordering it' Oh wrong answer... that was my flooring, I need to backtrack.....What an eejit, the answer was yes thank you pay you back soon-ish....

Lookingatclaus · 07/12/2012 12:53

Eejit Xmas Grin .... great word! And yes, I think that may have been a little window of opportunity opening for you there. Backtrack .... FAST!!

NotWankinginaWinterWonderland · 07/12/2012 13:00

on phone - to school - fucking furious - shouting at my son for not going to their fucking counselling

AmIthatTinselly · 09/12/2012 04:25

Looking I have spent all week reminding myself to be positive, and believing that it will happen.

Still nothing, does it take a while?

GreenBurrito · 11/12/2012 12:45

I'm not too sure if I believe all that cosmic ordering stuff, seems a tad bit out there for me. But then I've always found it hard to have faith in something I can't see.

Hey oscarthegrouch how've you been getting on?

My xp had given birth to a baby girl 2 weeks ago, I couldn't be happier!!
And I have even been able to see her daily since her birth, and also support both DD and xp during these early stages Smile

Mumfortoddler · 11/12/2012 22:10

Ha ha ha that's it. I have decided. There is only one thing for it. Must start a single parent commune for monks and nuns. Anyone game?!!

NotWankinginaWinterWonderland · 12/12/2012 14:54

I have decided to become a Nun can I join please? My dc do not want '8a man in the house*, so that's that! Xmas Grin

NotWankinginaWinterWonderland · 12/12/2012 14:54
