Oh a kind of date well night out perhaps.

[Scramble]

Oh dear going out perhaps this weekend with a man, argh!!!

What to wear for a casual meet up for drinks type thing???? Where to go???

I don't want to end up in a club full of gyrating you skinny things trying to make myself heard above the music, or surrounded by students wearing all their wardrobe at once, where do 30+ go for a couple of drinks apart from country pubs on a sun afternoon, this will be a night time thing, but I don't want to get to heavy too soon, he probably won't eitther.

Oh dear!!!

Go to a Pub and wear something that you are comfy in that a little glam but not ott. If you like him drink lots but not too much, have fun. If you don't fancy him have one and exit.

Why don't you meet for lunch instead? It'll be quieter.

I am working through the day so it will be evening.

I don't think I could walk out after a drink its not a blind date I do know him .

I am thinking of not taking the car so I can actually have a drink for a change, will have to book somewhere to stay ALONE!!!

pub or a bar, wear something not too dressy (i.e no glittery stuff)

a sunday night should be fairly quiet anyway

my closest town looks deserted anytime after 6 from sun - thurs, all it needs is tumbleweed blowing across the street

scramble,

put on your best jeans and a nice glitzy top.
get merry but don't get pissed. maybe a wetherspoons so you can have food too. (lines the stomach lol )

get a cab or the bus home

good jeans, nice top and a wetherspoons as they don't play music!

smile, be yourself, witty and charming - can't fail

OK will grin and smile like a mad thing, its a Sat night not Sun so I am worried it will be busy with lots of glam young things where ever I go.

Nice jeans clean erm nice top ok.

Oh well he called of due to work, to much like my exH then I think.

So what does single mum do when she has the babysitter lined up for the night, weel apart from my assignment that is due on Monday.

grab a friend-any friend-and go for wine, planning holidays that ye may never take and dream houses that ye may never own. get a bit pissed and have a relaxed time, no worrying about looking sexy or being funny/interesting. well, that's what i'd do! do you have mates living near? or will you have to think of something to do on your own?

No mates that I would go out with really and any friends from work are all working tonight, I will makes omething for my dinner then get on with my assignment, then enjoy a lie in tomorrow morning, may consume some wine, it might make the words flow better for my Uni assignment, but I will proof read it tomorrow .

I am a bit disapointed, it was him that had been showing all the interest, I just said I had a babysitter on Sat night, he said he would come through to see me then. Arses the lot of them.

he probably does like you. it's just that ppl without kids dont understand the effort it takes to get babysitting sorted for a night out and the annoyance when said night is cancelled. my friends can be a bit flaky (all young, free and childless!) and have no idea how annoyed i get when they change plans at the last min! follow my plan for night, dd to bed at 8/8.30, essay writing for college til 10 then a few glasses of wine, a bit of music listening until bedtime. and maybe some mn, getting hooked!

Got my dinner cooking, vegi enchiladas for one, red wine. Will then get some work done then come back on here probably.

I know a single mum who is flaky like that, she makes arrangments then cancels on the day, so if you don't pick up the text message you are standing on her doorstep with a very upset child who had been looking forward to tea with a pal. She flits about and will not take her DD to activities on a whim, where I am moviong heavn and earth to get DD or DS to their activities all week. Ah well each to their own.

thats strange behaviour. people really are strange aren;t they? my wine's a chillin, i'm nice and warm, now i must snap out of it and work! i love college but dont you find your work only begins at the weekend? when all you want to do is relax...oh well, i;ll aim for 700 words then i can relax, wish me luck...might catch you later...

Well I have done 4 hrs work and I am going crosseyed. Getting stood up was a blessing in disguise as I would never get it all done tomorrow, still got some to do though.

My vegi enchilada was lovely, I did use far to much cheese though . Wine is going dow a treat and I will chat a bit before bed.
