morning!!
itm do feel for you but hope you have lots planned while they're away
fortunately for me bf has booked the time off work
{trying not to be smug emoticon}
have to say i'm with Lou on the money question
what a tit!

ninah · 15/08/2009 11:57

Hello all just checking in
hope you are OK eve - update?
rj you make me rofl, sweaty droplets
but at the same time what you say is always spot on sensible
asbm have replied to email
agree the money is a bit insulting electra, reply yes to see what happens? tho if this is the same bloke that wanted pics of your dc block!
agree with you winnie about the pics, hilarious in a depressing kind of way
lou sorry to hear news about ex, hope is not too nearby, will be any support poss in absence of the rl variety, know it's not the same but will always listen
scl was interested to see your list, sounds like you have earned a good bloke after freaky etc! you are cautious like me hence nm a 7
itm I am on here for the rest of the summer hols, anticpate some late eve convos
Nothing much to report. Still together with nm. He is still a 6. Have asked him to speak with his dc about how they are around ds and he has agreed. Time will tell

aseriouslyblondemoment · 15/08/2009 12:22

still a 6

ninah · 15/08/2009 12:32

yes. I was half expecting holiday hormones might boot him up to an 8. On the other hand I was preparing to relegate him altogether, so it could be worse. There is no way he can achieve perfection via hairstyle, like beach bum, since he has too little rather than too much.
As rj would no doubt say a 6 out of 10 average is good dating! you know what asbm he didn't get his calculator out at all, so it would be possible to train him up to around 8.5 for a woman of sufficient persistence

aseriouslyblondemoment · 15/08/2009 12:50

pmsl
still time for the calculator tho lol
wait til he gets his next statement

ninah · 15/08/2009 12:57

it will make his eyeballs rattle

aseriouslyblondemoment · 15/08/2009 13:01

but hey you're worth it!!

lou33 · 15/08/2009 13:46

i'm ok thanks everyone for asking

exh has gone to thailand for his birthday so i expect the trouble will start once he is back and moved into his place in sept (it is about 7 miles away afaik)

he has already made veiled threats about getting the kids off me,nowhe has a permanent address, and compared my lifestyle to that of jordan

not sure how he came to that conclusion seeing as i never go out

so i've been a bit stressed, because even tho chances are kids would remain with em, i really dont need the months of stress of it

ninah · 15/08/2009 18:44

lou that really is dreadful
as you say it is highly unlikely he would succeed in taking dc, and you have to remind yourself of that whenever he tries to wind you up
he really does resent you for finding life after leaving, doesn't he?
he can't hurt you. He really can't, you have had dc for years and they are settled. All he can do is the emotional blackmail thing try not to let him get to you if at all possible
Lifestyle of jordan fgs. Sounds like he has the brains of peter andre tho
bit confused how he can get council accomodation as a single white hetero male am I missing something I thought it was really hard to find in that situation

sincitylover · 15/08/2009 18:49

Hi all. Haven't been around much as have been suffering from insomnia have no idea why. So have been sleeping very late most mornings.

But have generally feeling really quite apathetic. I'm afraid this includes samename. Im the early hours of one morning I wrote a list of pros and cons. Hmmmmm

To slow the momentum even more he has had family bereavement so cx this weekend. Unless I get bbysitter won't see him til early sept. He doesn t pick up on any cues to meet dcs. Am thinking of giving him the heave ho!!!

My RL friend is also feeling like this with her LDR. Perhaps there's something in the air.

eve good luck for op

Lou sorry again about exh

Ninah so so for you too

Sorry to hear itm

apologies to all I have left out.

ninah · 15/08/2009 18:51

which came out longer scl, pros or cons?
the thing that puts me off doing those lists is it can depend on your mood, if I'm feeling a bit rubbish I will put loads more cons just because I feel that way, and vice versa
he's a point higher than my nm!

lou33 · 15/08/2009 18:53

he has been on the list apparently since we split

OP posts:
sincitylover · 15/08/2009 18:58

they were about the same but some of the cons were quite big.

It's my birthday next week see if he remembers LOL

Yhink another reason I am feeling low is that
usually am on holiday in Spain at this time of year but can't afford it this year.

ninah · 15/08/2009 19:01

Oh I see ...
shit

inthemistsoftime · 15/08/2009 19:07

I am opening a lovely bottle of red here a St Emillion, can I get anyone a glass?

ninah · 15/08/2009 19:20

Yes please! I have no wine in the house ditto bread milk food except pasta and tinned grapefruit
life without dc ...

inthemistsoftime · 15/08/2009 19:30

ah yes the upside of not having the dcs

no cooking at all!

as much wine as I can drink!

music very loud most days

itm passes ninah a huge glass of red

welcome back to being a singleton (albeit for a very short period!)

bet ya asbm is having a lovey dovey time with nm

sincitylover · 15/08/2009 19:31

I m having some lovely white and watching George clooney (michael clayton) yum

samename just rang.

inthemistsoftime · 15/08/2009 19:32

and?

what ya going to do about him?

ninah · 15/08/2009 19:34

yes, bet she won't be on here much
I love the not cooking don't you? it's such a novelty. But I should have foreplanned about the wine!
My sis invited me out tonight for a drink but I really don't think I can be bothered, isn't that middle aged
She is going round town with friends

sincitylover · 15/08/2009 19:40

nothing atm. He was quite sweet on the phone.

just lusting over george atm

sincitylover · 15/08/2009 20:06

and craving ibiza

sincitylover · 15/08/2009 20:18

think the prob with samename is I am not bothered either way but that could be a self protection thing

winnie09 · 15/08/2009 20:33

lou, good grief your ex is an arse! I too can't believe he has got himself social housing! Lol at ninahs comment 'brains of peter andre' He hasn't a chance in hell of removing the children from you but my god I understand why you'd tather not have the hassle. Christ he hasn't got over you leaving him, has he? I am sorry. It must feel like you can't ever move on with his behaviour continually impacting on your and your dc's lives so directly

Lol too at scl and ninah ... you are not really selling relationships it has to be said

AlL of the potential dates I have mentioned have disappeared Mrverycynical I am relieved has got the message, as for the others... well, their loss sweetguy still has me on his favourites but I've not seen him about.

I am so innocent Must learn not to politely respond to people who contact me as I have a complete nutter who is not getting the hint even though I now don't even bother reading his messages but just delete. Fear I may have to block I am talking to two guys at the moment one I will call Boatman who is appealing, the other I will call thepianist and I'd have high hopes but for the fact he lives a long way from me... sigh...

lou33 · 15/08/2009 20:58

its exactly how i feel winnie

on the brighter side, darkhorse called this afternoon and said could he come see me and the kids, so he got here a couple of hours ago from an all night party

we all had dinner, then i had a hula hooping session with the kids and washed up , and have left him amusing them whilst i pop on here before watching iron man on sky premiere
