it won't accept any more messages ladies. As you can see I decided it was time to get less picky.
Lou, I hope you didn't leave your phillips

Hope DS has had a good birthday Lou.

Been busy sorting out for my hols. I go on Monday! Got a rare girls night out tomorrow, think it will be a late one.

Planning to see the one from a few streets away for a drink on Sunday evening if I can manage my time well. Hoping he will give me a lift to the station on Monday morning. Not sure if I mentioned that Platonic friend has gone to South Africa early so we are travelling alone.

we had a lovely time thanks, with a bit of a tantrum in between, but generally good, especially the evening

we all ended up in the procession to switch on the town lights, being driven in an old classic car, and ds1 was wished happy birthday over the pa system.

we could all see really well as we were behind hte barriers away from the general public too, AND we got offered free tickets to this years panto by a couple of the actors in it

i will be getting onto that on monday

lou33 · 27/11/2009 23:39

oh and we got taken out for dinner afterwards to celebrate ds1's birthday too

aseriouslyblondemoment · 28/11/2009 11:58

i'm frantically cleaning as i have house viewings tomorrow..kids are desp.to help but it's just too stressful to let them as they seem to create even more mess
and what is it with boys and toilets?if i find one more puddle round the loo i'll scream..!

lou33 · 28/11/2009 14:02

i couldnt take darkh because it was a family thing and tbh i wanted it that way

i am not doing much this weekend, but decided to let the kids set the tree up and decorate it, the rest of the weekend will be doing mundane stuff i suppose

lol @ puddles round the loo

sincitylover · 28/11/2009 18:25

Hello all - eve have a great holiday.

Lou your lights thing sounds fab.

Have made date with guy from work (gonna think of a good name for him - not sure about phonebone) - we're meeting next friday lunchtime. As I said know nothing about him so it will be fun finding out.

lou33 · 28/11/2009 19:18

oh i bet it will scl

eve, have a lovely time if i dont catch you on fb or msn

Betty79 · 29/11/2009 18:32

Hi ladies, hope u've all had a good weekend

Eve-Hope you have a great time not sure if you were leaving today or not.

Not much to report I'm stumped about this date wed, but I think I over think things after first date. Have chatted since on msn but part of me wishes i didnt have his msn cos if i log in and he's on there i feel rude if i dont say hello, and then i feel im being too keen if i do arghh! Anyway I've got an interview for full time at my work tommorow so trying to concentrate my energy on that instead of thinking about blokes lol

And why is it i've gone from being single for 15 months meeting the odd person on night out but not really being bothered, to being bothered now. Think I preferred it when I wasnt bothered lol

notevenamousie · 29/11/2009 18:38

My cat died.
Mum starts chemo with no hope really at all tomorrow.
Bullying e-mails from ex to that point that my Christmas present from my mum is 2 hours with a family solicitor....

DD is good and the introducing the children went well

Soooo stressed and low.... help help help....

Remotew · 29/11/2009 18:47

Mousie . You deserve a treat for Christmas not all this crap from your ex. Hope you can reason with him.

I'm going first thing tomorrow morning. DD needs to do a bit more packing which will not doubt end up my job but apart from that I'm all set.

Went out with some friends last night, pre Christmas do. Had a meal and then hit the local night club. The night ended at around 5 this morning! Won't mention who was keeping me up as he's not important but did get a text message today from him which was unexpected.

Betty79 · 29/11/2009 18:56

Oh mousie

eve-someone kept u up till 5 come on do tell!

Remotew · 29/11/2009 18:59

Shared a taxi home with him. He came in for a chat over a couple of cups of tea. Known him for around 11 years, he's not the settling down type, bit of a bad boy.

Betty79 · 29/11/2009 19:04

ahh i see eve

thesouthsbelle · 29/11/2009 19:30

you were talking until 5am eve!

mousie - you really do deserve a break sweetie. glad the LO's got on well thou.

Lou - hope the birthday went well.

betty - just go with it for now - re MSN don't worry about looking rude, I often say oh hi i've only just sat down cos I switch on and then come back once it's booted up.

sin - you go girl!

gymboy is back home this w.e but so far is being very lovely. had a bit of a moment y'day thou - I did - was stood in his kitchen, we were pottering around together, he was washing up I was doing the rolls for lunch and everything just seemed to fall into place. we shall see, have heard from him loads as well over the w.e considering he's away & I don't usually - he's paranoid now thou that i'm avoiding talking to him - am not just understand when with the family he can't be ringing me every half hour for an hours chat etc etc. (plus was knackered y'day big time)

went out friday night for the works xmas do. had a riot & haven't laughed so much in ages, althou did get told I was too 'corporate' but that was from the new boy who's been there for a day (and i've spoken to him for ooh half hour in the office and then 3/4 hours in the evening, so don't know the bloke, have nothing really in common was a bit rude.) still a good night thou.

Betty79 · 29/11/2009 19:33

belle-sounds like things are going well then, really hope it stays that way for you

thesouthsbelle · 29/11/2009 19:35

well not counting anything and still planning on going out with the sailor when he comes home on the 14th

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 29/11/2009 20:29

eve - enjoy holiday... and also at talking till 5am

mousie ... glad some things went well though. good for dc and introducing.

betty - msn drives me nuts. i actually avoid giving it to people now. sticking to old fashionned phones. and i never gave out my facebook to anyone except beachbum.

belle - glad things are going well. the moments are nice.

well... i'll try not to be confusing. but here goes to esxplain my dating this wkd.

knight in shining armour - remember he said he only wanted casual and i was declining but half considering when he changed his mind and wanted to date. he started acting spoilt and huffy when i wouldn't arrange baby sitters and go through through the week, and now in serious strop as i had swine flu and couldn't come out to play this wkd ... i'm going to try and ignore. but i can see myself losing it and telling him to pi** right off and bring him down to earth....why are the REALLY REALLY hot fellas so blooming up their own arses and expectant we drop everything for them. ARSE.

beachbum - asked me to come round to his!!! this is banned remember under the "friends" status. .... but i was busy.

went on date with guy from POF. we shall call him the valeter. average looking but something about him. he's very comfortable in his own skin iykwim. has kids so doesn't want anymore. looking for proper relationship. quite successful too.... but... said a couple of times things along lines of me being too good or out of his league.he was very complimentary, and rather confident other than these odd remarks. sent me texts after asking to see again. i responded nicely, but nothing confirmed...but.... haven't heard from him today and he said he'd text in AM.... i have a 6th sense this one actually doesn't want a relationship with me as he's insecure and thinks he's not good looking enough..

.... has anyone come accross this before?..looks really are not important to me. physique and personality are. and they have to be good looking... but i prefer that to HOT HOT HOT iykwim.... and this has happened to me before. particularly with guys who were cheated on in the past. .. and the valetter was with his ex..

anyway... valeter had to go to work at 10pm...

i then went over to irish's. he had already asked what i was drinking. so i knew fine well to take the Shag Bag , and we were most definately not friends between 1am and noon the sunday.

then he made me sunday roast and scared shit out of me forcing me to play resident evil.

have any of you seen it.. i actually couldn't continue playing it as i was really freaked out. i dont like horror movies and this was just as bad.

.... someone slap me.

we haven't discussed it.
we wont be discussing it as neither of us knows why/where/when/why we are doing.
but we just rub along so easily and its not hurting anyone at the moment so who knows.

i've probably given him swine flu

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 29/11/2009 20:33

oh... and there was a noir pic put on by official photographers. i'll try get a copy so i can stick it on my facebook just now..i'm amazed we look ok considering we were so drunk we dont remember the photo being taken... oooops.

thesouthsbelle · 29/11/2009 20:33

juicy - lol. if you're happy then go with it I say.

lou33 · 29/11/2009 20:56
