oi i can be non flirty you know!!!!

ninah · 04/05/2009 20:39

well I have had a lovely weekend thanks and def back into nm big time, not quite sure why, I think I have been trying to find problems based on my past history of disastrous affairs, but have now decided to stop doing that and just go for it. Also thought I'd never get over ex but somehow I feel Ok about everything now, in fact I could hear about him and his current romance/ whatever and feel perfectly uninvolved. In fact this Bank Holiday I am in Lurve.

inthemistsoftime · 05/05/2009 08:17

morning all, have popped in to find out what rjs weekend was like!

lou, you sound much happier

ninah, great news for you too

and to the rest of us yummy mummy's, it can only get better!

an update on my dating sage, marathon man has disappeared again so this morning I have deleted him from my life , very cathartic.

i opened my emails this morning to find a lovely email from skippy, so am down to my last cyber man.

if this one isn't for me, I think I'll give it a rest, cos its just to much like hard work!

NervousNutty · 05/05/2009 08:17

Morning ladies. I finally got a reply and it seems I was to be a holiday stand in

Story of my life really. Good enough for a quick shag and thats it.

inthemistsoftime · 05/05/2009 08:36

hi nutty, "holiday stand in' am lost, what was he up to?

ridingjoker · 05/05/2009 08:58

hi all,

i'm back. i had a fab time. really great in some ways. was expecting some awkwardness but it wasn't at all. all the convo over past few months did some good there.

everything went as planned at airport. no problems and he was there waiting . i thought " phwoar.... even blooming better looking in RL"

he was great company for the wkd. but due to severe lack of sleep we even had our first arguement.lol. but nothing major.lol. just him whinging and me telling him to give it a break.

have told asbm a bit more. she describes it as " coupley" which i suppose it was. i was in bath getting ready for leaving early next morning. shaving my legs while superman was on toilet talking to me . and that just felt normal.

when he was working i enjoyed the villa and cairo. it's a great place to visit too. not touristy at all. but you see some really crazy things.

but for the first time i actually missed my dc. never in their lifves has it ever bothered me. but by the sunday i had started to miss them (only took 4 days )

and one thing i've definately realised is i will have to be dragged kicking and screaming into living with a man again full time.i'm liking my independance far too much at the moment. it was sheer bliss coming home. shutting the door and getting back into my little balloon with my dc.

as for you lot?

asbm - phileas. ffs. he needs a good shake

lou - soap opera as usual. have you arranged date with youngman

ninah - shining beacon as ever has returned. glad to hear your falling for him again.

holly - hope your well.

eve - i'm prone to pretending all is fine too

as for meeting nm with dc. think it really depends on age. when they're under primary school age they wont question when you say its just a friend. but much older than that i would say you have to wait till your sure its a long term relationship.

NervousNutty · 05/05/2009 09:15

Sorry I should have explained. Basically he only really contacted me again cos his gf is on holiday and he thought he'd have some fun whilst she was away.

He didn't actually say that, but it's obviously what he had planned. I'd not 'spoken' to him for a couple of weeks and then he suddenly contacted me again and was more eagre to meet up.

I asked if his gf was still in the picture and he replied yeah but she's on holiday at the moment.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 05/05/2009 10:02

morning all!
welcome back rj
itm-what happ.has he just done one?
nutty-well!
lou
and yes rj phileas appears to have given up as for indieman we'll see lol

Holly23 · 05/05/2009 12:44

Hello everyone,

RJ - Glad it all went well, does sound very coupley!
Hope everyone else is well

ninah · 05/05/2009 12:55

glad you had a good time rj, lol at convo on the toilet, must admit I still shut the door and run the taps when I go - have some way to go towards that level of couply
it is weird going away without dc isn't it? I didn't actually miss mine but it felt odd
nutty he does sound a waste of space
itm didn't you meet a 'real life' runner who sounded nice (nicer than marathon man) - do you still hear from him?
asbm are you planning to meet indieman?

Remotew · 05/05/2009 13:04

lol RJ realising you don't want to co-habit. My ideal would be a part-timer too.

When is Superman back in Scotland permenantly and does he have his own place?

Off work today to catch up on stuff. Finally went to the GP, should have gone ages ago, not bad news but not great so need to go through some minor treatment next month. Decided I've got to pack in the cigs and I'm never having sex again!! Anyway that's only slightly relevent to this thread.

Decided to give up looking for a man atm but will keep on reading this thread. Of course will post if anyone FI&A knocks on my door.

ridingjoker · 05/05/2009 13:38

ninah - i'm not at the stage of going no2 in front. lol. good thing about him working through the day was i could empty my system while he was at work. i kinda broke the ice first night when he waited till i went out room to let rip. but i heard. i burst out laughing and shouted back into him " better out than in"

asbm - hmm indie. will see i suppose. did he given reason why he couldn't contact while working? even quick email.

eve - current developent has about 3.5yr left to run.he doesn't have his own place here. stays at his mum's and i think he's hoping to spend fair bit of time at mine. there will have to be a serious chat about wether or not i will allow that as not that keen on involving my dc unless it's serious.

he has a BN car here he bought 1 month before he left. which sits at his mum's doing nothing. he actually said i should go collect it so i have it spare for if mine needs service i'm not stuck for transport as long as i start it up once a week in return to keep it ticking over. but at least i'm not a taxi service if he does come to stay at mine some nights. he could come after 8pm and leave him to let himself out once i have dc up and out the house. mines are so young they would never know.

Remotew · 05/05/2009 14:00

Sounds like you have thought things through and it could turn into an ideal part time relationship. You can have the conversation next time he is in the UK, over a nice romantic dinner.

ridingjoker · 05/05/2009 14:09

just need to play by ear. there's talk of him not getting away between june and september. it's a long time if i cant get out there. well.... suppose i waited that long to meet him. this is my main concern about it lasting. it's not even part time sometimes. suppose its not as bad as seeing someone in army though

aseriouslyblondemoment · 05/05/2009 14:24

eve hope you're ok?
cigs and sex
don't think i could do either tbh
rj rofl now that's a pic isn't it?
indieman well,we've been v casually in touch since feb now,just odd messages really before he told me was off to work in saudi for a month or so and would be in touch when he got back
well he did and we actually had a bit of an im sess and exchanged a few more messages etc nothing heavy obv and then i heard nothing more for a couple of weeks so i just thought hey ho etc
then i get a couple of messages on sunday apologising that he's been away etc
so i'm obv thinking ,fine, but why not tell me beforehand?and yes i know i'm not going out with him but it's hardly the right way to keep a woman interested is it lol
so he's waiting for a reply here
will be a nice cool one liner
asbm will not allow herself to be seen as an afterthought!
