ive been a single parent now for oevr 7 years
i chose to be alone

i cant imagine myself being settled again and sharing the parenting responsibility-its been so long

but i dont want to be alone for the rest of my life! im worried that i will be though as we are very close and for someone to come in our lives it would affect the dynamics

oh im in the leadddddddddddddddddddd You kicked my ass last night Well Done!

Pan · 23/07/2007 12:02

Well this is all a bit rubbish!!

I've been single for about one anda half years, and dd lives about 10 mins away. I don't have the day-to-day demands of children, though dd is here alot. I do have more choices and time to 'date', but am quickly coming to the conclusion that the best women are (understandably) taken already. >.

CC- got your FB thing. Am currently trying to get my hotmail addy registered. Then can post piccies etc..

are you keeping well??

lou33 · 23/07/2007 12:05

ah well charlie thats always the way isnt it? the only bloke i would be slightly interested in isnt interested in me

he must be mad

charliecat · 23/07/2007 12:09

Hi Pan, yes fine.. Hope you are too?
Lou Oh yes...they are obviously missing something not to be sitting at the end of our beds begging
In all honestly though, I dont think its worth the hassle.
Oh its lovely, at times, to have someone to share your life with, but feckng eck, the HASSLE, and EFFORT and just, well its nice not having to argue, about the simplest things, but maybe that was just xp.
I keep seeing old couples in supermarkets taking 3 minutes to decide what brand of soup they are having...........fucking hell. GET THE SOUP YOU WANT and move on.

lou33 · 23/07/2007 12:13

maybe my "friend" was right when he told me i was passed anyone being properly interested in me

charliecat · 23/07/2007 12:13

lou33 · 23/07/2007 12:16

Pan · 23/07/2007 12:29

Are you balding? Have a thing for baldspots

Pan · 23/07/2007 12:37

biking......sudden flat tyre at front, on a bend, put hand out against drystone wall( Derbyshire so it had to be!!), and it ripped my hand off, as it were. Lost all skin on finger tips as well.

bald spots. You ARE pervy! No, all my hair remains steadfast in place.

charliecat · 23/07/2007 12:38

Is that what they call a combover down here?
Ow and Ow and bloody hell. That sounds SORE.

Pan · 23/07/2007 12:42

Combover! .

When FB do there thing can happily show you.

It was extrememly painful at the time. The finger that was diclocated (middle) had to be put back a.s.a.p. though it was also broken. Now that DID hurt.[brave little soldier emocion]
