Where have all the fit and interesting men gone part TWELVE

[lou33]

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

good morning all.

I also have a soft spot for the irish accent - and the welsh (obviously!) given NG is welsh.

eve - oh you'll have to give me some tips - credit control is the worst part of my job & I HATE it with a passion.

RJ - glad you're gonna be enjoying your job.

blondie glad everything seems to be working well for you as well.

everyone seems so happy & content at the mo on the thread

ooh.. haven't said.. he has an irish-american accent. imagine slightly posh irish..... and he's lived here for 11 years... yet still not a whiff of scottish accent.

Try as I might, still can't get a lie-in, even though DD's 9 - it's still "mum, when are you coming down!" aarghh. Everyone seems really upbeat, ASBM I read your post, I'm so pleased for you after the muppets. Remind me how you met him? I'm really looking forward to my date tonight, and trying ever so ever so hard not to overthink.

What if I really like him, then I'll be wondering if he wants to see me again; how will I be able to stop myself from texting if I don't hear from him blah blah. Must learn to trust myself and go with the flow.
Another one (who I haven't met) texted me this morning for the first time "hi dazzler" - put me right off, I've never even spoken to him. At least he's out of the frame.

I too am a sucker for an Irish accent - did anyone watch Desperate Romantics? Aidan Turner who played Rossetti has the most sexy Irish lilt as well as being DDG.

Hi everyone. After lots of rushing about to get dd in bed, I had a lovely evening. Some really good talking as well as nearly not getting round to dinner . Certainly no worries there any more! Am tired this morning, hoping to try and get going soon. Getting up at 6 is always painful. I need to not rush this - he's really lovely though

mousie - sounds like you had a fab evening

no i am not seeing him this weekend, he is djing tonight so was getting some mixes ready last night

i have a friend who is a lovely young man and comes with an irish accent

he is quite the charmer

it's quiet on here tonight, is everyone getting ready for their evening out?

nope i'm around - gonna bake a cake I think in a bit.

had a hetic day with DS so am flopping out with david tennant. (YAY!)

sparky - one step at a time.

mousie - glad you had a good night.

i did something to my back in my sleep and can hardly move, so i am just having some pasta and going to try and numb the pain with wine whilst watching jack black (aka my future husband) in a film

and if that doesnt work i will take some painkillers my friend brought round for me

just caught up with lb on the phone, he had his son all day and is now off to dj until about 6am

the thought of being up that late makes me lose the will to live, i hate pulling all nighters

i told him i wont expect to hear from him until the evening, when he said he would call me tomorrow

good god, 6am - what time of the day is that again! lol. can manage till about 3am with NG but that's about it. 6am is only seen in this house when DS is unsettled and wakes (after i've had some sleep). Try having a nice bubble bath, or lay on the floor, press your back into it as hard as you can and with your knees up move them from side to side slowly. (always helps me when mine goes)

Been bantering with NG today after not talking last night, mostly about the footie when he called me a cheeky sod! (wednesday has ALWAYS been my fave day of the week - not just cos they kicked his teams ass! ) so it's all good this end.

Actually managed to have a civil convo with XH as well this evening after we had a text row on monday night. Early indications would suggest that the weekend away next week, could possibly turn into that and a 2-3 night stay at his as well (happy days!) but depends on XH having leave so we shall see on that front, but will be a happy bunny if it turns into longer.

well things going a bit wrong here - me and dcs set out for the two hour drive to my parents for their anniversary party and ds2 threw up all over himself and the car. So we turned back and he still felt ill so we have stayed at home.

My black eye is looking horrendous - like someone has drawn all round my eye and cheekbone with a purple crayon!!

Samename has been very sympathetic though - will milk it for all it's worth.

Did have quite a nice evening last night for ds1s birthday though.

black eye?

what did i miss?

its not that part of my back

i am used to dealing with back problems, due to ds2 and lifting him and his wheelchair, this is different

it starts from the base of my skull, travels down my neck to the bottom of my shoulderblades and down my arms

i am finding it hard to lift my arms or turn or do anything much really, hopefully it will have improved tomorrow

as for lb, i was awake til about 2 am with him last fri but after that i just start thinking about the fact i have to look after children the next morning, which kind of takes the fun off it

he has too much energy , just thinking about it makes me feel tired!

God the back thing sounds awful must put a real strain on it all that lifting. Oh just read that it's not due to lifting!!

I was carrying my bike up some steps, fell and bike smashed into my face, cutting underneath my eye! Some kind people gave me some ice sat for abt 5 mins then continued going home cos ds1 at home and had to collect ds2 from cm.

This happened Thursday eve and have got a real shiner!!

DB just sent photos of my parents cutting the cake!!

omg that sounds nasty, i hope you feel ok now

my back is just as bad today , i have to take kids to see their father too

and the boys just realised the gerbil died in the night so they are upset

i have taken some painkillers and am hoping it will ease enough to be ale to drive, right now i can hardly move my head

hello all just quickly checking in
have had virus from hell and no energy but on the mend now
no news of a fit and interesting kind
rj good for you being so honest with irish and sounds like you so made the right decision
eve things looking promising
itm what's up? also thought you loved up etc
I've been invited over to bf's today for son's birthday, but am feeling a bit annoyed cos it's like I'm supposed to make a party of it, and he didn't even give my ds a card - no reason, just didn't get round to it - I know it's petty but I'm actually feeling quite annoyed, will do it for the boy's sake but it's like I'm always expected to drop everythign and go to his with my two dc
and I'm wanting to less and less, got to the stage where I'd rather stay in with a book than go over for a glass of wine with him
Is that normal as a relationship goes on, or terminal boredom?
Remember Thai farmer? I've got his mobile number. If I had the energy I'd be tempted to call
mostly I am a hermit atm
no energy for a bf type relationship, no inclination for a husband, it all seems pretty pointless actually

just being nosey checking in
ninah you don't sound yourself at all and yanbu to be p'd off over the b'day party and the lack of a card for your own ds.am imagining that things are going to come to a head pretty soon and i expect being a typical man he won't have seen it coming.
lou and scl you both sound in need of some tlc hope you haven't got too hectic a day ahead.
monty don't be cryptic
eve and sparky how did it go???
belle fingers crossed you manage to pull it off,was hoping to do the same myself soon but have just had major row with exh so can't see it happening now..grr..

i am meant to be taking the kids to see their father, though right now it doesnt look likely

i also have to catch up on a weekend of being unable to do chores, and wash uniforms for school, and get rid of a dead gerbil

asbm lol reckon you're right, show down time is imminent, and he doesn't have a clue
to top it all I had a dream about my ex last night
thought things were better with your exh? you had a reasonable convo recently - why the row?
lou know how you feel, have been under the weather for ten days and the house looks like something from Life of Grime

life if grime is right and its only been the weekend

i think i need to go to the doc tomorrow

i have had trapped nerves in my lower back before but not where it is now, and i have nothing strong enough to ease the pain

shit lou that sounds really painful hope the doc can sort it,has he referred you for some physio too?
ninah hmm dreams eh?would you like to get back with your ex or do you think it was just one of those weird inexplicable dreams that we all sometimes have?must say i have never dreamt of exh thank god!!!
oh yes he has been reasonable to me as such but has been playing the sympathy card with dcs esp.dd who is just too young to realise what his game is
bf has said that he'll have words if needs be but not sure if this will exacerbate things iykwim

yup, I'd go
you can get some painkillers and maybe a referral
this is the first day off I've had this week and housework is progressing v slowly
is there something you can take (legally) for pure tiredness?

lol @ legally

I'd leave it for the mo re exh, bf input might make situation worse
dream - consciously I know getting back with ex is no go but my subconsious has other ideas, quite disturbing
we'd just bought a new house (in dream) and was lovely, bf turned up and I had to try and hide him ...
am not quite resorting to hanging round the union bar for medication yet lol

legally probably only sleep

ive had all the physio etc, been to back school as well, it is a repercussion of liftng an 8 yr old and his wheelchair, though i have never had problems in my upper back before, and this happened in my sleep ffs

i think having experienced the two types now i would say if i had to choose, i definitely prefer the lower back trapped nerve, at least i can raise my arms properly when that bit goes
