starts here

why would you bin off gymboy before asking about it?

he may well just have been checking mail or hiding a profile or something, talk to him before you dump him

some others are now. they must be changing them all.

thesouthsbelle · 15/09/2009 19:24

well we were first yay! trend setters!

night in of study for me tonight i think, gymboy's just confirmed won't be over tonight- well said possibly about 10, but he sounds too stressed with work etc so trying to do the supportive don't worry thing. bit disappointed but not to worry there will be tomorrow/other times.

what's everyone up to tonight then??

notevenamousie · 15/09/2009 19:26

It's very weird. Leaving my trekker alone tonight as he has his son. My train caught on fire this morning so it's been an eventful day. I am shattered!

I had a horrible experience on my train home tonight - someone got on and sat opposite me - I couldn't get out, someone had already sat next to me - and leant back in his seat and very clearly rubbed his legs up against mine, and smiled and looked at me... is it the rape that has me so paranoid - I nearly jumped out of my seat, and was so glad when I could get off. Did I overreact???

thesouthsbelle · 15/09/2009 19:28

no I don't think so mousie, you're bound to be sensitive to these things, and I would imagine you don't like feeling backed into a corner as it were? a lot of people in the same situation wouldn't like it esp if the people were trying to be intimidating.

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 15/09/2009 19:37

mousie - you didn't overeact. but in situ like that i'm afraid i would have been rude and told him to piss off and mind my personal space.

belle - think i'll study here too.

just done a major cleaning spree. should iron but cant be arsed.

lou33 · 15/09/2009 19:42

ihad to clean the fridge it was growling at me when i opened the door

i also did shit loads of washing up, but how come it never seems to go down?

and of course now we have had dinner so it has built up again

i am going to be early to bed i think tonight, i have felt sleepy all day

once the boys are in bed i will make a packed lunch for ds1 (school trip tomorrow) and start flaking out i think

you are probably more right than me, rj. Just was so unnerved though nothing I didn't do of my own accord on saturday! Which makes me doubt myself. Am going to head to bath and book, then sort out the morning stuff and bed. Hope we are un-bold by the morning!

lou33 · 15/09/2009 21:26

reading it in bold feels like i am being given a stern talking to

OP posts:
lou33 · 15/09/2009 22:14

right i am off to bed, i have had my daily afternoon and evening chat with lb, and now have to make ds1 his lunch for his school trip

then i am flopping into bed to drool on my pillow happily snoring undisturbed (with luck)

thesouthsbelle · 16/09/2009 08:14

lou drooling, we're still not back, althou last night I noticed all the LP section was the same. are we different then?

my washing up never goes down either - neither does my washing/ironing pile - well if I did iron it wouldn't!

mousie - the thing is thou on the w.e you wanted to do it - as you say your own accord your choice - that's the key thing here your choice.

today's gonna be shitty in work big time I think, the S hit the fan big time so today is about damage limitation & hopefully helping ensure my boss still has his job at the end of the week.

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 16/09/2009 08:16

morning all.

hows everyone this morning.

belle did gymboy come round last night? how you feeling on this at the moment. given up bothering if he's online or not ?

irish is coming round tonight if he finishes work at reasonable time.

thesouthsbelle · 16/09/2009 08:23

yeah mostly juicy I have tbh, AF has been & gone so i'm more chilled out & am now back to thinking if it's meant to be etc - besides which would someone who was honestly dating 3/4 people really want to stay over all the tiem, be ringing 3 times a day just because & texting on top/on facebook? I don't know might be nieve but I think not. as it was he didn't come over, I said it's fine don't worry if u dont' want to, he was like no it's not that i'm disappointed but i'm not in the right frame of mind, and have to write a report on 22 poilicies for a dead line on thursday (he's a planning officer) so was mega stressed out, did drop me a text thou at half 11 to say 'sorry 4 being a grump, talk tomorrow x' we all have of days & I know he hates his job/is stressed at the mo so not worried. is apparently deffo coming over tonight (as he confirmed last night) coupled with the fact we agreed to try n see more of each other - doesn't sound bad or am I fooling myself?

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 16/09/2009 08:23

belle - hope works not toobad for you this week.

i'm going to iron a small mountain today and square place up incase irish is round.

at the wkd because i wasn't expecting visitors and i was running really really late to drop dd at her dads.. i dived out the house. leaving dirty clothes where i stripped in hall. dd dinner of beans still splattered everywhere and toys everywhere where i had just abandoned them as dd needed her bed and i had been getting bath while she was eating dinner as had to go straight to meet irish.

so... imagine that mess and destruction toddlers make while your getting a bath.. and they are eating dinner unsupervised... and the mess you make getting ready for a first date.

.... all just abandoned in my house.

we came back to mine so i could leave the car.... on the condition that he stayed in car for 5 mins while i did damage limitation.

well he never.. and decided to come in to help. bless him he washed dishes and put toys away even though i protested that he simply sit down and have a drink.

so next time he does come round i have to have the place spotless so he doesn't think i'm always a messy tramp

thesouthsbelle · 16/09/2009 08:24

get teh feeling ti will be - need to cut £170K's worth of unsecured debts into £25K ASAP. or get credit insurance - which isn't gonna happen, & try to do it while keeping the shareholders happy, my boss in a job & the company afloat with customers still buying from us.

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 16/09/2009 08:25

no belle - it sounds fine. not bad at all.

whats his facebook thing?

beachbums facebook annoys me. i'm thinking of blocking as tbh i dont like to keep seeing it.

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 16/09/2009 08:26

belle - thats pretty much impossible. its either the debt or the shareholders really?

thesouthsbelle · 16/09/2009 08:27

sorry I meant on our debtors ledger so that's why we need the credit insurance. one who boss had a meeting with y'day accounts for about 85% of the total - if he was to go pop we'd all be out of work.

thesouthsbelle · 16/09/2009 08:28

it's fine jsut a normal thing, we flirt on there! or chat.

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 16/09/2009 08:30

jeeze oh wheeze.. 85% of 170k... cant imagine many companies in this day and age surviving a whole that size.

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 16/09/2009 08:33

can i ask do you just give your house a little sprucing up before a fella comes round.

or completely blitz

or leave it as it is?

mines is generally always clean.

i will rush around and throw toys away if someone comes round and pop hoover round.

making more effort today to be REALLY sportless simply because of state other day. but normally i wouldn't make as much effort as already clean iykwim.

what do the rest of you do?

thesouthsbelle · 16/09/2009 08:33

I know why do u think his neck is on the block. if we'd been going for a few years longer we could take the hit, but as stands plus with this customer winning more & more with us at the mo it can't run on. but we need to talk about it - i put an account on hold then the sales reps send stuff out anyhow cos they're 'good payers' well good payers doesn't = money in our account nec.

(hope that made sence am rushing so will explain later on properly!) lol. the unsecured credit on the ledger at the mo is about 40% of the total. ho hum. damn credit insurance people not giving cover on anyone at the mo.

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 16/09/2009 08:39

dont worry makes sense.

sales reps often claim someone is good payer if they send a monthly cheque... but chances are the cheque is only 10% of the goods they purchased that month... never mind 10% of full outstanding balance iykwim.

lou33 · 16/09/2009 09:11

i was in bed early last night, woke up at 4am with a terrible headache, it still hasnt shifted with painkillers, so now i have dropped the boys to school i am going back to bed until i have to take dd1 to college, see if a nap will help

OP posts:
Remotew · 16/09/2009 10:33

I always tidy everywhere whether its a male or female visiting. Don't completely blitz unless I know someone is staying the night.

sincitylover · 16/09/2009 10:45

just checking in - very quiet at my end. Samename still away.

Yes I always clear up before a man comes round. My house is not particularly tidy but clean.
.
Has been described by two difft people as 'lived in'!! but then I hope I can distract them from the state of the house

Everyone else seems OK ???
