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

Yes we were just talking. OK had a bit of a snog.

He didn't fancy the walk home so I stuck him in the spare. Took him a cuppa this morning and she told me to get in for a cuddle. DD was in the house but did for a little while. Then I kicked him out as DD wasn't happy. He has been to the house before as he fitted my entire house out with new doors.

I gave him my no. last night and he sent a nice text. Was a bit surprised as usually when we have met up I never hear from him again.

eve ... so.. before... just snogs?? or has this been a bit of a regular random iykwim?

Betty79 · 29/11/2009 21:16

lol eve-so u've gone from 'just talking' to snogs and a cuddle

Juicy-Ur weekend sounds fab

and yeah as for msn and facebook i think in future i will just give my number if i choose to arrange a date with someone. Saying that i've stayed off it tonight cos im trying to sort myself out for tommorow and he's text

belle-half of the time it's been me that sends first message on msn tho but as i said above i didnt tonight and i got a text instead so we'll see how things go. Dont blame u not cancelling date with sailor, y not!

Remotew · 29/11/2009 21:17

I met him in his home town about 11 yrs ago and he asked me out and took my phone no. rang once but nothing was arranged. Went to the same club a couple of years later and I stopped at his.

A lodger I had some years later started seeing his work mate and that's how they did a few days work on the house.

Bumped into him a couple of years ago and we chatted most of the night. Then again last night. Never got that intimate with him as he is a random. He hardly ever goes out as he has his DD every weekend. He told me he hasn't had a gf for years. He's a hunk, younger, as usual, but the unreliable type in fact just my type. lol

Glad everyone else is OK where the blokes are concerned. I'm off to bed as I need to get up early.

Betty79 · 30/11/2009 19:17

I agree lou where has everyone gone? surely u dont all have lives lol

have u been up to much lou?

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 30/11/2009 19:25

i'm here for a bit.

i have relented on knight in shining armour.. he's coming over for dvd.. strictly a dvd. he has been informed i have AF and nothing else shall be on the menu. he has a funeral tomorrow. and... he's making the effort to come over to mine by public transport ... i feel bad for him as he has a funeral and he's a bit down... i'm a sucker for someone needing company at a bad time.

thesouthsbelle · 30/11/2009 19:32

i'm around as well. just put DS's advent calender up - it's only got 16 chocs in it thou (not sure how that happened so will have to get some choc coins for the other ones!)

things here are plodding along as usual. oh BIL has split from SIL MIL now says that XH 'lost his way' some how - hmm... not what she was saying 2 years ago! still not to worry all water under the bridge now.

eve - have a good holiday.

juicy enjoy your dvd.

how's everyone else doing?

lou33 · 30/11/2009 19:36

i've been xmas shopping today, but am coming down with yet another bug so havent been inclined to do much even if there was something happening

have fun juice

thesouthsbelle · 30/11/2009 19:40

there is a lot going about at the minute that's for sure. i'll be off to bed early today I think - am creme crackered, DS keeps having nose bleeds - not sure why thou usually during the night. any thoughts?

lou33 · 30/11/2009 20:23

dd1 used to get them all the time when she was smaller, not so much now

the doc said its quite common as the veins are to small and easy to rupture there at that age, and they usually grow out of it

Betty79 · 30/11/2009 21:50

belle-my dd1 gets them now and then she's 6, she doesnt have them very often but dd2 has never had any so she must be prone to them.

lou33 · 30/11/2009 22:33

i meant dd2, sorry

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 01/12/2009 10:16

i know nowt about bloody noses i'm afraid.

i'm raiding the xmas decorations. need to split them between exes and my house. seeing what i need new.

i like the xmas tree bit

had a blooming amazing massage from knight in shining armour.

kicked him out back of 2am.

shattered today. but we never did anything other than a snog.

must admit i was a bit cruel. refused him proper hugs.he suffers little lost boy symtoms sometimes for all his chauvenistic behaviour, and tried to cuddle up to go to sleep on the sofa... and i woke him and kicked him out.

informed him that kinda of behaviour is a strict benefit thats only received when i'm in relationship with someone.

sincitylover · 01/12/2009 12:18

yes it's very quiet isn't it?

I went to bed early yesterday as was too cold and tired.

have I missed something juicy? who is the knight?

Am home today as DS1 is ill and although he's 13 couldn't bear to leave him alone for eight hours.

lou33 · 01/12/2009 13:52

im sick today and also about to call it all off with lb

he is torn between myself and his exw and what to do and who he wants etc, so i am going to make it easy for him and let him go

if he works out that what he wants includes me hen he can get in touch, but i dont think its fair on either of us to wait about for however long til he is sure

weirdly i foresaw this and went to end it with him last time we met, but i didnt because i decided to make the most of the time left

i didnt think it would be this soon tho

all v sad but it was good fun while it lasted

Janos · 01/12/2009 13:54

lou.

What a tough decision to have to make. Make sure to look after yourself too.

lou33 · 01/12/2009 13:58

i'll be ok

we wont leave it on bad terms, we both are fond of each other, and it was never my intention to make his life harder, so i will just leave it there

like i said it was good fun hes a lovely guy and treated me v well, i dont want either of us dragging this out though

Betty79 · 01/12/2009 14:59

Oh lou that's a shame it's never easy is it even when u both get on so well

well i didnt get the full time job i went for at work yesterday but because my friend who also works part time got it, ive been given her post so in effect will work full time from xmas, well that's if i can sort childcare. Will be hard work but I need to get xh's name off this mortgage and they wont with the wage im on at mo!

lou33 · 01/12/2009 15:43

it is a shame, i will miss him, but it's better i think if i cut ties so he can make a choice with more clarity

and i can hardly complain if he thinks he should try again with his wife really, can i?

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 01/12/2009 15:57

lou - but your right. he needs to be left completely on his own to decide. then if he does come to a decision he wants to end with exw it's completely without influence from his feelings for you .

betty - good your full time anyway. so worked out in the end.

scl - knight - saved me from an arsehole a few wkds ago when my friend abandoned me on night out.stated from first night he doesn't want any sort of relationship. extremely attractive. ex boxer.pretends he's 100% caveman... then he'll do a random good deed and blow his act

Janos · 01/12/2009 16:58

It occurs to me, apropos of nothing that I have not had a good night out in quite some time and I could REAAALLLLY do with one.

Betty, brilliant news about the job - have you had a look at what you are entitled to with tax credits?

Betty79 · 01/12/2009 17:31

Thanks girls about the job

Janos-I've done the calculations re tax credits otherwise I woudlnt have bothered going for it. It's not double what I get now but a good amount to make it worthwhile. Let's hope i can sort my childcare out now, fingers crossed.

lou33 · 01/12/2009 17:36

at least i know he had feelings enough about me to feel torn in the first place eh?

lou33 · 01/12/2009 17:37

sorry betty i meant to say well done to you
