He's taking me out

So had to put London on hold as forgot I had a new appliance being delivered on Sunday.

anyway might be a good thing as useless twit faced arse is taking me out. this will be interesting. he also publicly grabbed me in the office messing around yesterday, only by the shoulders but I've never seen him touch anyone in the office before! well more like grabbed one shoulder and slipped his other hand across my back. I think he might have forgotten himself.

I am definitely going to not put in any effort as he's really more pro-active when I don't.

Although, he asked me why I was dressed up today and did I have a date. I said I wasn't dressed up he said you are as he gestured towards my clothing and then added and you're wearing more eye make up than usual. we bickered about whether I was or wasn't for a while.

x is still being completely lovely. keep hav ing to remind myself it doesn't last on the upside, dd asked if he would go to her nativity when he visited and I think he is going to which will be lovely for her whilst at the same time putting all the gossips in their place by showing them that we are still friends!

oh he was all trying to cosy up being nice on the phone

i said " why are you calling are your balls full?"

i gave him a 20 min diatribe of why he was a shit, he said sorry a gazillion times, said he wanted to come and see me, so i said ok tomorrow then, no excuses, he agreed

when i got off the phone i said to my mate, he wont come, and he didnt

so i sent him a text saying " i knew you wouldnt come, so here is your p45"

not heard from him since

MascaraOHara · 10/12/2007 14:46

oh bugger Lou, what a PITA.. at least you expected him not to show. Do you think he'll call again - will you be bothered?

lou33 · 10/12/2007 14:51

oh i am sure he will be trying to be in and out for a while yet

i'm bothered i wasted time on him, of course it doesnt feel good, but at least he is one less stress i now have to deal with atm

not a lot he can say to the p45 comment really is there

MascaraOHara · 10/12/2007 14:53

I think I have some further progress to report with OB...

Just had a meeting with him and he'd been shopping. Said he got my prezzie and the conversation continued. I said what have you got your mum and he said it was a surprise, I said oh so am I going ot come round and see it for myself then.. he just laughed sheepishly. Am fairly sure now that I will get invited round boxing day and he's just playing with me (does have quiet a sick sense of humour) also he got a meeting invite while we were in our meeting that has completely screwed his week up .. I suggested an alternative for Wednesday and he said oh that won't work - I said why and he went all coy and mummbled that he was planning to come over to mine Tuesday.

He also said he hadn't known what to buy dd for Christmas so could I give some ideas. I said he could give her something I'd got her already but he said no if I gave him some ideas he'd get her something.. which I thought was sweet.

Am suddenly excited about Christmas - I know this is awful but I really hope he's got me something nice.

OP posts:
lou33 · 10/12/2007 15:43

i hope he does too moh

lou33 · 10/12/2007 15:43

other things are not so easily solved unfortunately

OhComeLetUsADiorHim · 10/12/2007 18:16

MOH - ooh, sounds promisisng about your present, plus he is considering your dd, which is nice.

Lou - was this gardener? I think I have missed a lot of what has been happening to you - sorry

lou33 · 10/12/2007 18:28

yes dior it was

OhComeLetUsADiorHim · 10/12/2007 18:33

I thought he had sorted himself out? Was it because of you being cross with him the other week, or was it all going wrong before that?

lou33 · 10/12/2007 18:50

oh who knows, i'm bored of it all, he's a messed up one methinks

MascaraOHara · 11/12/2007 09:14

OB not coming tonight but tomorrow night instead. He called me into his office first thing this morning and things were very sparky/playful which they haven't been really to this degree since the first month. I think possibly the A/Ds have fully returned me to my normal self but I think he's under a little less stress at work now (at least he knows he won't have his current job) and we definitely won't be working together. I am very optimistic at the moment.

Lou I am sorry about gardener bloke. Can't really help there but if there's anything I can do re. the other stuff (not exactly sure what the other stuff is) let me know

lou33 · 11/12/2007 17:44

OhComeLetUsADiorHim · 11/12/2007 19:01

lou33 · 11/12/2007 19:10

OhComeLetUsADiorHim · 11/12/2007 19:11

zippitippitoes · 11/12/2007 19:12

lou33 · 11/12/2007 19:20

zippi dont worry, if i see him i want ot see him when kids are at school, i reckon you would be long gone by then lol

dior, i wont, it would warm my heart to see him again thats all, he helped me a lot , you know?

MascaraOHara · 12/12/2007 08:52

Have you heard if he's meeting up with you yet?

OP posts:
lou33 · 12/12/2007 14:44

not yet, but i dont even know if he is where i think he is in the uk so i am not worried

MascaraOHara · 12/12/2007 15:56

lol that is so cryptic that I can't even begin to guess what you mean

I'm cooking a nice piece of beef tonight (not sure what with yet). am quite looking forward to seeing him but house could've done with more of a tidy

OP posts:
lou33 · 12/12/2007 15:58

lol nothing cryptic, all i know is he got back to the uk this weekend, i assume he will be with his family, but i dont know

he may even have a gf in tow , but i'm not worried that i havent heard from him, i will

lou33 · 12/12/2007 16:00

4 kids, my house is never tidy

i am sure he wont be looking at the housework anyway

(unless he is my exbf who i just mentioned, he used to come and clean for me , pulling out furniture to do a proper job, lol)

MascaraOHara · 13/12/2007 14:45

Further progress (I think) had a lovely evening and cosy morning. I stayed in bed while he had to get up early (was travelling).. loads of kisses and cuddles and chatting and I will be going to his on boxing day.. Which might actually be the next time I see him at the rate I'm going!

OhComeLetUsADiorHim · 13/12/2007 17:22
