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

glad to hear other people have messy house issues sometimes. Mine is disgusting atm, mainly cos of longer hours at work, when I have your scenario rj, rushing out and shutting door on chaos - only it seems to happen to me regularly rather than occasionally. I would tidy up for someone I wanted to make a good impression on, but I'd have to be quite scared of them for it to be a real success.
itm glad all is still well with you and mm
beacons of light pmsl
rj you sound really keen on irish - nerves!
don't like all this bold

ninah · 16/09/2009 20:31

omg it's gone courier normal now

lou33 · 16/09/2009 20:36

mine's currently got a half eaten log on the floor the dog has decided to chew and the breakfast dishes still want doing but DS has only just gone to bed so in about ooh 15 mins I might shift my butt to get n do it!

time - glad it's all working out well for you.

juicy - have the nerves gone yet?

Lou - ooh restaurant booked

good news at fat club as well - 2.5 lb off - apparently my not eating for 4 days this week really helped lol. could be that - or could be all the snogging activity with gymboy

could things finally be looking up for us all girls??

lou33 · 16/09/2009 20:52

i have a v small house and lots of children, so it always looks haphazard, though the last couple of weeks it is looking better

it feels like painting the forth bridge

What's with all the freaky bold?

My flat is always a tip bit messy cause I work almost full time and have DS. Somehow I never quite get round to the big clean up I often plan to do at weekends when DS is with his Dad.

Talking of which, XP is being his usual difficult self about maintenance. So no payments (if any) until Nov. Ain't gonna hold my breath....

exbf coming over on Saturday for some quality time...I will see how all that pans out before making decisions. I'm very hmmm about it all at the moment.

ninah · 16/09/2009 21:27

omg janos a repeat!
and we're back in bold again, it certainly is freaky
do you suppose it's a Daily Mail spy?

Janos · 16/09/2009 21:53

ninah

My life seems to run in circles...

If it is a DM spy they've probably exploded in a fit of righteous indignation already, if they've been reading this thread!

ninah · 16/09/2009 22:24

janos just take care of yourself OK
into town now to spend my benefits on fags and Wkd, I'll make sure dc are locked in (that's for The Spy)

lou33 · 16/09/2009 22:30

i just had a phone call from lb, he is stressed and wanted me to help calm him down

still on for fri tho

thesouthsbelle · 17/09/2009 08:13

good morning all!!

ninah - don't forget your mcdonalds as well for the kids and your white tracksuit and hair scraped back to be on!

Janos - good luck with the ex & maint. payments.

gymboy was late over again (for a change! lol) had a nice time thou messing about he's a laugh, asked to see me tomorrow, (well today) but I said was busy - am genuinely as have to study & not sure if out with a friend tomorrow, he sounded a bit offish and was like well I guess it's the weekend then, (my reply was yeah cool prob sat, followed by we don't have to see each other everyday) - not aggressively or anything but do you think that was the wrong thing to say? Should I make myself available to him when he's free - but then I think no bugger it i've got a life as well! Also with the flap on in his work at the mo i'm sort of thinking if he works late will be too tired to actually spend time together as will be wanting to fall asleep anyhow. might meet at the gym tomorrow night. going to move him up from gymboy to new squeeze I think.

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 17/09/2009 08:35

itm - yup... he takes my mind off him completly.

i think i'm on my way to deciding.

only reason why i haven't decided 100% is i just dont trust my judgement tbh... is he just incredibly interesting and fun...or a bad un?

eve - when will u know about sat? is it dependant on something else?

and yeah.. a year... and i certainly have filled things ....

belle - did gymboy turn up on time. i must admit.... the more i think of it.. i do have a soft spot for a man who's on time.

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 17/09/2009 08:38

oooooooooooooooh belle has a nm.

as to the availability. stick to your guns if you dont want to see him tonight.

its HEALTHY to want nights to yourself and to see your friend. gives you something to talk about when you meet up.

if you cave now he'll want you to drop plans all time to see him.

lou33 · 17/09/2009 08:56

i very much believe that relationships should not be conducted by living in each others pockets, and both should have time to do their own thing

My date has been confirmed for Saturday night. I was suggesting doing the usual meet half way for one drink and a coffee as both driving but he has decided to come over to my town and book into a B&B instead!!

He has said it's because he has time off work and he likes my area rather than he is a piss head that doesn't want to drive.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 17/09/2009 10:17

eve hope he confirms pronto
rj
and as for me being a beacon of hope
mind you have to say that it's ninah who is my role model and inspiration on this thread
and so lovely to hear how upbeat everyone else is atm long may it continue!

aseriouslyblondemoment · 17/09/2009 10:20

cross posting whoops!
so eve have you got your outfit planned yet?!
will it be the black wrap number?!

thesouthsbelle · 17/09/2009 10:22

my thoughts exactly Lou - XH & I used to go all week and only talk once so I like a lot of space.

Juicy - don't get too ahead of yourself lol. he's not a new man yet, he's a new squeeze (so one above gymboy but one below new man! ) althou will see how this weekend goes and might promote him after that.

What makes you think irish is a bad 'un?

Re the time thing, XH was always rough with times, i'm always i'll be there when I get there type of a thing, and XP used to be i'll be there at 7 and get there at 6 and wonder why I was pissed off all the time. Sort of felt like I was being forced to spend longer with him/pressured into it. I don't mind per se him being late (althou it was a bit of a joke when he rang eventually at 10 and said oh i'm here now!) still....

Remotew · 17/09/2009 10:37

I bought a new dress and wore it out last Saturday night. Was planning to wear it again thinking I'd meet him in a different town!!

Never mind will avoid the places I went to last week.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 17/09/2009 11:20

rofl
good plan

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 17/09/2009 12:01

haha eve... good thinking.

belle - irish charm and honesty, his years working in glasgow club life is as colourful as mine

i dont mind someone being late, unless its regular and i'm waiting in a location or could be doing something else. but i find it good manners to be on time. but at least your NS keeps you informed when late.

asbm - you are a beacon. you found one who is genuine.

janos - glad to see your ex is making your life as simple as possible as usual

lou33 · 17/09/2009 14:15

i think as i am meeting lb about 4.30-5, and dinner isnt til 8, plus we have the hotel room, i may as well take another outfit to change into for the meal

yes or no?

OP posts:
DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 17/09/2009 15:24

depends.. do you plan to go to the room at 4-5pm.. wont be wearing your first outfit much if you are

but then again.. it may get wrinkly with jumping on the bed.
