where have all the fit and interesting men gone part.....9? isit 9?

[ridingjoker]

ooooh i get to start the thread.
unless i'm being thick and cant find it.

lou - go on send me a pic of dark horse i'm so nosey.

ninah - i think thats really rude of your friend. if she didn't have anything nice to say she shouldn't have said anything at all.

yeah janos.like any of our nickname suggestions?

oh no lou I used to have a friend who did that, she was all oooh, meet my luverrrr
if I still like him after the weekend I will upgrade him to my bloke or m instead of nm

what about partner?

nah sound like a solicitor
he has referred to me as that
not really a good word for it is there

no not really, probably just best to use his name to introduce him

ohh ladies just skimmed thru
ROFL
think we all need to present 'loose women' lol
ninah-any more thoughts re:thai farmer?

just on for another rant. DCs told me that they were told to get me to bring them over earlier in the day. (obviously it doesn't fit in with their strict regime)

This is a f*ing cheek as I actually only take them over there as a favour - technically they should come and pick them up.

I have just rung exh to put him straight a) not to pass messages to me thru dcs and b) to tell him if he wants them earlier to come over here and collect them.

he also thinks ds2s weight is a 'very serious issue' and whilst I agree its an issue I don't think acting like the food police will help.

Rant over

oh scl

its so ironic really given that one of our longstanding arguments is that he doesn't see enough of them - ie never a full weekend and never takes ds1 to his football.

But I suspect he is only telling new p the half of it. Hence him not ever introducing us.

Its as if all they can see with ds2 is that issue rather than the lovely little boy he can be and also that they need to 'fix' whatever I am not doing right.

I should probably demand a meeting with them but would need to take someone with me for back up IYKWIM.

I do find it very interesting on the step parent thread that mostly the exw is painted as some madwoman with parenting probs. (Wry smile emoticon)

do you have anyone who would go along with you?

hes the one with the issues not you
and its amazing how these bit timers of dads have such opinions isn't it?

darkhorse is now coming weds am to do my gardening, not tomorrow evening

rofl at all the guys coming round to do our gardens. I loved samenames description of the different types of gardening equipment he has. It's like a foreign language. Just looked blank and nodded.

Lou yes I could bring my friend with me - she's a social worker and is used to this sort of mediator role (and has also witnessed exh's phone 'harassment' of me).

it might be worth thinking about scl

darkhorse is always on the go, it makes me tired just thinking about it

best lie down then lou

i will do lol

leave him to get on top of things

funnily enough he said that too!

he wants to do a bbq afterwards

oh this weather's getting to me lol

am getting something wrong here have been doing his garden
yup asbm, am thinking of meeting the thai farmer purely socially in a group, no funny business
out of sheer curiousity and need to know
but am also feeling ashamed of myself
he is v keen apparently
of course he has not had the benefit of seeing my picture let alone my udders

so being nosey here(for a change!!)
how did this convo about this man actually come about?

I have one friend A that has been trying to match make me for years but nothing has ever happened. That one was home alone carpenter. Another friend let's call her B who I have confided some of my doubts in, we were at C's house chatting and she suddenly went ahh, Thai farmer and pulled out her photo album. C is on her second marriage with young children and has known Thai farmer for ages, mid forties and wanting to settle down (apart from the odd stag hol to Bangkok no doubt)
B has met nm and wasn't bowled over although unlike A she never said so directly
A is still plotting for me to accidently bump into home alone carpenter
Chardonnay anyone?

ROFL
oh yes dont mind if i do cheers!

well what shall I do? just say no? or smoke but don't inhale
I think nm is going off me a bit anyway, it's at that stage, you know, where you want a bit of space

no harm in going along ina group
