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

all my relationships have been longish distance, the only close one was that tosser in july i was seeing who i found out had an inability to keep his pants on for 3 days when he went to a festival

i kind of like it, because it means if it all goes horribly wrong i dont have to ever bump into them

the special occasion undies went down a treat

mousie - i'm sure you will manage it. i make dinner. put it infront of dc while i jump in shower. have your outfit picked out and ready tonight so it's just a case of throwing it on.by time the dc are finished dinner i'm redy as i've got it down to 20 mins (do all the shaving and plucking morning before so you dont need to waste time with that)

i have on occasion also had a joint bath with me and dc all in together .. i wont get away with that much longer though as they are getting too big.

lou33 · 24/09/2009 19:00

mine are of the age that if they wont leave my room when i ask,i threaten to remove my clothes

it works a treat

ooh special undies - need to go shopping tomorrow actually for our weekend away for some special undies!

mousie - yes I am a chronic over thinker.

long distance - tbh I'm used to long periods apart (XH is army) so that doesn't bother me per se, once you're settled etc. XP was 40 mins away which was OK, but a bit draining in some ways. Gymboy is about 10 mins drive only about 5 miles which is really good - at the mo anyhow, he's applied for 2 jobs totally out of the area so ho hum. still not to worry.

He rang, apparently had left his phone in the car anyhow, he's coming over - was gonna be after the gym but has decided not to go to the gym and to come straight here. wouldn't mind but i've not have a bath today - pongy emotion! lol. so better get sorted out I guess for that.

Still have a throbbing head ache thou but will be nice for a hug or 2 tonight.

thesouthsbelle · 24/09/2009 19:07

lou.

juicy I still do with DS, but now he goes boobies............... or foofoo and runs about like a loon (either that or pokes my tummy and shouts boing - don't ya love em!)

notevenamousie · 24/09/2009 19:18

Have nighttime showers as it is as we leave at 6:45 for work/nursery (aaaarghhh). So off to do all that now.
Can I not stay in my work clothes, with nice underwear underneath? What do I cook for dinner - does roast chicken breasts with a (homemade) cheese and vegetable sauce and roast potatoes sound ok? I went all out last week and cooked something very labour intensive including to-die-for chocolate pudding, but after teaching for hours tomorrow I think that there are limits...

I am not very "girly" (apart from loving cooking) - surely it's better he realises this sooner rather than later?!?!

notevenamousie · 24/09/2009 19:20

Baths with dd = "Mummy I'm trying to SWIM and you're in my way". I loved those baby time baths of skin to skin and peacefulness!!

thesouthsbelle · 24/09/2009 19:24

oh no totally fine mousie on the food front - don't want em thinking we have nout better to do, besides i'm a firm believer of not showing them all your talents in one go! lol.

if you think you'd be comfortable in work clothes then stay in them - I did on tues when he came over.

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 24/09/2009 19:31

buy the pudding in.

make something that just requires to be thrown in oven.

lou33 · 24/09/2009 20:19

i wouldnt spend ages slaving in case you dont get round to eating

Mousie, what does not being "not very girly" mean"? I'm not girly either but I'm damn sexy!

Helpful to know that you all seem to think that around an hour's OK. He's just texted to say he's "staying out" when we meet up - he'll be about 45 mins away from home but I'm already getting suspicious. Should I quiz him?

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 24/09/2009 21:29

why would you quiz him? is this first meeting? are you just going for drinks?

sparkybint · 24/09/2009 21:40

No, we're going for dinner. Just feel a bit uncomfortable that he's told me he's staying at a hotel afterwards. Sort of feel pressurised, as if he thinks it's going to be so worth it that he's putting himself out at this stage. Maybe I'm just a cynic, but I know what fuckwits men can be.

Remotew · 24/09/2009 22:11

SB if this the first time you have met? I can understand you feeling this way if so. I went on a date last week an initially we were going just for drink but as he lived about 30 mins away he was going to stay out.

In the end we met just for a coffee first time instead which was better.

So we are going to do a proper date on Saturday night in my town, for a meal and he is intending to book in somewhere, however it's really busy so he might have to stay in my spare room!

sparkybint · 24/09/2009 22:31

Eve, yes first time. I think the first date should be a sort of pre-date but who knows.

Glad you had a good time over coffee and are meeting up again. Are you sure he's going to stay all alone in the spare room??

Remotew · 24/09/2009 22:37

Yes for sure, I have a 15 yr old in the house as well. Apart from that I don't want to rush into anything too soon.

lou33 · 24/09/2009 23:33

dont think like that

just think of it as him just deciding to not drive home

you dont have to have anything to do with the hotel room

LouLovesAeroplabeJelly · 25/09/2009 09:09

Morning all

Well once again I have been slack and have not read and caught up on what's been happening to everyone.

I hope all is well and good in everyones world. I am just thinkful it's Friday.

Farmer Boy has emailed me a couple of times after out date with his mates last weekend. He is off to Barcelona for the weekend so nothing happening there.

inthemistsoftime · 25/09/2009 09:44

good luck rj

a wave to everyone else.

think I might be back on this thread soon.

marathon man likes his own independence too much for my liking, and if neither of us are willing to compromise, it could be a parting of the ways very soon!

ho hum, better to find out now than later, life goes on and on and on and on and on ........

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 25/09/2009 09:50

inthemist .... you are one of the beacons of light.

i am nervous as a box of frogs.

i've for 15 mins to kill as ready too early. hate it when that happens. distract me.

today i'm supposed to be meeting BB for lunch....he was really really nice last night... back to his old self. felt a little pang... but i wonder it seemed to be as soon as i told him about my interview... does that seem odd??... or think it's just coincidence.when i text he called and yapped away..... thats only the 2nd time he's ever actually called in the months since our first date.

but.... irish also told me to pop over after my interview as he has taken the day off. says we will be celebrating getting an interview regardless of the outcome with lunch and a wander round shops.

which one.. which one???

quick straw poll before i go?

thesouthsbelle · 25/09/2009 09:56

jsut quick, am, in work.

all ok here, NG (repromoted) met the dogs and they were all over him. (dog whisperer) so surprised as my GSD HATES everyone but he was striaght on his back laying down for a tummy rub

Juicy - good luck and i'm voting irish tbh.

Am in real danger of falling for this one girls!
