yay rj!
you go girl!
lou omg but v funny you have to admit!
hi everyone else hope you're all good?!

dollparts · 22/07/2009 13:51

Afternoon all! Hope you are all well.

rj-sounds like you had a good time, good for you

itm-I already feel like a school holiday veteran-the last day of school here was last thursday!

Am going out to dinner with nm tonight, it's his birthday and I'm going to give him his present....the one i've wrapped though, he gets the mutually beneficial one on Saturday

Janos · 22/07/2009 13:54

rj - wahey, glad you finally got to meet bigT. A successful meeting by all account, hope the next one is equally good

lou - what can I say, your love life could be used as a script for EE. Although it's probably a bit too jolly for them now I think of it.

My love life is not particularly exciting, although have been having some chats with Canada man who will probably coming over to visit at Christmas. Not to see see me I hasten to add but his family are from Edinburgh. Still, why look a gift horse in the mouth I say.

Couple of chats with the doc and everyone else has gone ever so quiet but thats uits me just fine right now.

sincitylover · 22/07/2009 14:08

Quiet here too. Samename is coming round tonight - need to reintroduce him to some variety in the bedroom - too soon to get into a routine/lazy!

Think he may have some ishoos in that area, ie he might not be as rampant as he likes to think he is.

If they really become very apparent I will have to end it because after exh (who lost his libido) I just can't deal with that type of thing.

I hadn't realised that there was thread 11 either.

lou33 · 22/07/2009 15:47

lol you are so right janos

ok so i felt bad not telling dd1 i had spoken to him, but found a cunning way around it

it turns out we know people in common who are on both our facebook accounts, so i told her he added me after seeing me on our mutual friends account

i have also told her i have no interest in dating him, and i would show her his fb pics when she got back

she didnt believe me at first then squealed with indignation, and is now sending me joking texts saying if i dump him she will still love me lol

so it's fine

Lou-thats a clever way of getting around it. And there's no harm done to dd's feelings, that's the best part along with not having to feel like you were keeping something from her which wouldn't have been nice for you.

Oh must tell you what a mare I had choosing a birthday card for nm....I was in the shop for about half an hour trying to pick something that wasn't too cheesy but yet not too generic that he would think I had bought it for any birthday that may crop up.

In case you haven't worked it out I am a hopeless fusser over these things and think in wayyyyy too much detail for my own good. I say this because I have a feeling all the above considerations will prob go straight over his head and he wouldn't even stop for a second to analyse the hell out of a choice of birthday card like I would!!!

lou33 · 22/07/2009 16:16

so what kind of card did you get?

OP posts:
dollparts · 22/07/2009 16:21

a modern art blank verse type in the end. he often refers to me as his gf but there was no way i was going to present him with a hb to my bf one. Im 32 ffs!!

lou33 · 22/07/2009 16:49

ooh no i hate those kind of cards ( the bf/gf ones i mean)

neighbour has actually been quite handy as i have been asking him questions regarding my plumber who has swine flu, and when it is most contagious etc

OP posts:
ridingjoker · 22/07/2009 17:11

ahhh this must be swine flu thread now.

my ds has it aparently.

although she's had recurring glandular fever all this yr... and keeps telling them its that, not taking her word for it and now my mum has to go get that "tama..??... begins with a T", whats the vaccine thingy.

she's probably not got it.lol

ridingjoker · 22/07/2009 17:12

sorry not ds. dsis

dollparts · 22/07/2009 17:24

Tamiflu!!

lou33 · 22/07/2009 18:30

i have been calming dd1 done with telling her how the benefits of him being on my fb could be advantageous to her, and showing her his pics lol

dp - thats the stuff. my mum has to go collect it from hospital as they dont want dsis going to hospital.

Remotew · 22/07/2009 19:55

Hey this isn't another swine flu thread, lol. It is worrying though, you don't know what to believe.

RJ Big T sounds promising.

SCL hope you sort samename out in the positions dept. Once knew a guy who just lay flat on his back, nodded to his todger and expected you to do all the work. Thought he had just been lazy with me until two, yes two other women told me he was rubbish in bed. I just acted all surprised, he was a slag.

FWB has had to call back tonight for his wash bag that he left in my Bathroom, he's popped out for a takeaway then is heading off later . I'm definitley beginning to have feelings for him after 3 years, how strange, best not to let him know though isn't it? Not with words but actions might keep him guessing. Advice please.

thesouthsbelle · 22/07/2009 20:45

hi all, can I come back n find you all again, it's been a while.

DP and I have split up (turned out to be not so nice after al) ho hum, had a few dates with a few others but no one's standing out thou.

So what's the theory then any good hotties around or what?

Remotew · 22/07/2009 21:08

thesouthbelle, join in again. Not sure if there are any hotties around. I'm not doing internet dating atm.

Sorry to hear about your DP, how long did it last?

ridingjoker · 22/07/2009 21:40

hi southern...welcome back. shame about dp. but at least you find out now.

are you looking in RL or internet?

thesouthsbelle · 22/07/2009 21:53

both, if something comes along I'll try if not not fussy iycwim. The chappy I really really want, is my first love, but not sure on him still 100% we had coffee but will see.

DP lasted just under a year, he was a twat, a controlling mummy's boy who needed to get a grip live in the real word n realise that not everything revolved around spending his JSA money on clothes and DVD's! (wanted to move in with me even thou he wasn't working - hmm like that would have happened!)

lou33 · 22/07/2009 22:35

i have still not solved the mystery of who asked my dd how i was

i have asked 2 of hte possible men andit wasnt them

thr third one always has his dog with him, and she saw no sign of a dog

so i am still drawing a blank

OP posts:
Remotew · 22/07/2009 22:58

Lou, seems like you are in demand in your neighbourhood. . Keep digging.

I had a strange message on fb recently from some local guy asking me when my profile pic was taken. it was strange so I replied and he wrote back to say I looked great. He's been married for donkeys years and I would never, ever look at him twice. Still nice to get a compliment. He really didn't mean any harm by it as I know he's not that type.

FWB has gone home now. I played it coolish but think he sensed a change in attitude, ice maiden melting, that will have him running for the hills.

lou33 · 22/07/2009 22:59

looks like you may have to take hte bull by the horns at some point eve, and decide what to do

OP posts:
dollparts · 22/07/2009 23:07

Hi all, just got home from dinner with nm. Gave him his present and card....he was really chuffed I think he will have cheek-ache from smiling!

We had quite an interestng convo about life in general-where we are at in life (the kind of stuff you always end up talking about when you discuss age iykwim)

Anyway, out of the blue he got all deep and meaningful and said he really hoped we had a future together and would like to think that in time we would settle down together

We both know it's way too early to start heading in that direction but for someone who I thought didn't really wear his heart on his sleeve I was quite taken aback.

Of course there is more to know but he is soooo not anything like anything I loathed in my exh.
