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

yes you're right
for energy vitamins are prob as good as it gets, across the counter
Def get back checked again, obv wear and tear as you describe is the root cause, you maybe twisted what was already weakened - you need it looking at!
was on health and safety course yesterday which stressed the damage manual lifting causes, not something you think about until it happens
hope you get some good medical input

the lesser of two evils eh?but i think we all know that once you've had back probs.you have them for life,and sadly any fixes are only temp.take it easy lou easier said than done i know
ninah yes you're right,tbh bf is just bemused by exh as from an adult's pov can see that he's just shooting himself in the foot so to speak
but he feels annoyed on my behalf as he knows just how long it has taken me to reach that emotionally stable place with the dcs post divorce and of course is v.fond of them all too!

ninah have probs.with email today grr..will get one on its'way when they've sorted it

ah no probs, on here anyway
your bf does sound lovely - as you say your ex is the one who will lose out long term, let's hope he can come round and see that, at least he's shown hopeful signs, and may that continue

would be good for all concerned really
anyhow i guess the thread is a welcome relief from domestic drudgery today
still waiting for eve and sparky to report back..in your own time ladies of course lol

Went out last night for a meal and a few drinks, ended up drinking much more than I should have, tbh I was a bit bored, seemed like I had to do all the talking. Not sure if I will see him again.

that's a shame
I do know how you feel tho, when you stop talking nothing bloody happens
one more go?

oh what??
that bad?!

Probably not. He's not my type, oh well at least I tried.

did you stifle your yawning eve or were you quite blatant about it?
and did he find somewhere to stay in the end or was his sobriety a factor in his boring convo?!

not trying to pry of course...

I was yawning a lot. He stayed in my spare room and left before I got up this morning.

oh lol eve it was THAT good then!
that's a bit rude that he upped and left like that but i guess it's prob.a good thing really
has he been in touch since?

I thought it was rude too. No I havent heard anything since.

am glad you didn't like him then but i'd be at his rudeness wtf?!
no wonder he's still looking if he doesn't even have basic manners

just remind yourself of all those naff dates most of us have been on esp.phileas,tintin and gummy...
what plans have you got for the rest of your day?

blimey that was a bit rude of him

sorry it wasnt as good as it could have been

i have managed to drive the kids to my exh for a few hours

i had told him i may not make it but then sent him a message saying they were coming

got there to find he was asleep, house was stinking of smoke, windows and doors all shut, and piles of rubbish everywhere

now i know he has no furniture etc, but he also only has himself to look after , so could have at least made an effort to make tidy piles surely, and aired the place ffs

it looked like he had a hangover, and i did not really want to be seeing him pulling his clothes on as he opened the door

anyway i have to go back and get them at 6, and although i know i should be resting i have so much to do about the house for tomorrow i dont think i am going to be able to

i will just have to go slowly i suppose and do what i can

afternoon all.

lou - not great show from your ex but at least dc getting to see their dad for a couple of hours and you should be trying to rest your back.

asbm - not so good to see exh up to tricks again, but at least bf is so utterly fab about it.

scl - your eye sounds painful, but glad to see you are milking it

itm - you ok?

eve - shame your date was boring.. and agree... very very rude. no manners at all.

belle - where are you escaping to? glad things back on track with NG.

mousie - really great to hear your feeling back to your old self.

anyone else i have forgot... hope your doing well.

went pub crawl with irish last night. went so well....

i will rephrase that,

i went on pub crawl with my bf last night.

ooh bf

i really have too much to do to rest , even tho i should

i've put laundry on and filled the sink with washing up, brought dry laundry in

going to take it slowly and see what i can accomplish, anything has to be better than what the place looks like atm

i knew it

i hope i am ok by friday, so i can go see lb overnight

Afternnon ASBM, afternoon everybody! I'd say I had a dream date, drinks, meal, did go back to his hotel but only as far as the bar, a lovely kiss and then home at 2am (I was staying at my mum and dad's and got in trouble ps I'm 52).

Think I mentioned he broke his back in a car accident 10 years ago so in a chair. But lovely strong arms and shoulders. We just talked and laughed all night long and I was pushing him up the hill and it all felt so natural. He seems lovely inside and out - strong and kind and clever. Great job too, makes a change from the shirkers I usually go out with!

Loads of texts today and we can't wait to see eachother again. One slight fly in the ointment - he's got a job interview tomorrow
in Exeter (I'm just outside London). I jokingly said to him "you can't go!". We'll see...

think thats just the tonic you need lou

ooh sparky sounds like you 2 got on fabulous.

hope your better by fri lou

asbm - i may have even partaken in PDA last night

sparky that sounds lovely

if i trusted exh more i would suggest to him he comes stays here on friday night when i am away, but i dont

i will take a sleeping pill tonight and see if that relaxes my back enough to untrap the nerve, if not i will go to the gp tomorrow, i can always get an appointment the same day in cases like this

im going to rest now i have done a few things and its starting to hurt more

sparky that sounds great,am really pleased for you
so have you got that elusive 2nd date secured?
btw.no rushing out for your virtual hats everyone despite my thread on relationships lol
