Oh and I'm lovin'

"it just seems to be happening"

DONTtouchMUMSfestiveJUICE · 12/12/2009 21:55

thats it though monty... we'll see if he comes.. he might bottle it yet.

i'm a huge xmas fan. probably because i refuse to grow up 99% of the time. i got dragged into adulthood by having dc.

he says my xmas sounds completely different to how he knows xmas.he's never done the thing where everyone gets together, open all presents and no one actually argues. we dont get pished on the niht before either. we're relatively sober. fresh for early rise. get fed then get sloshed later in night with a party. no one is tired or hungover and getting fed up.

Hi - haven't been on here for ages because my life has been so utterly bereft of dates. But now I have been talking to someone on a dating site and I could do with some advice from you wise ladies if that isn't muscling in.

This guy emailed me and seemed very nice so we chatted a bit online and then on the phone and were supposed to be meeting up for a date last Friday. Unfortunately I've buggered my neck and shoulder and was in so much pain I cancelled and said I hoped we could meet this week instead. He texted and asked me what I was taking and I told him that my GP had prescribed me Diclofenan. He texted back and told me I shouldn't take it because it is really bad for your stomach (which I know - I did read the instructions) and to take paracetamol instead. I just said that I was going to follow the advice from my GP and physio rather than him (he doesn't have any medical training).

So anyway, we rearranged for Wednesday just gone but now not only do I have a painful neck and shoulder, I also have lost my voice and have a filthy cold so I called him and told him I couldn't make it.

Yesterday he emailed me and asked how I was and I said that I had driven down to my mum's (about an hour away) and that as a result of driving, my shoulder was absolutely killing me and mentioned that my mum had given me a Tramadol which had finally stopped the pain which was a blessed relief so I could get a good night's sleep for once.

He texted me after that and told me that I should be very careful and not take any more as Tramadol are very addictive. I only took one in utter desperation and I'm back at home now where I don't even have any to take even if I wanted to.

I was really annoyed by the text so haven't replied - it all feels a bit controlling and bossy and I haven't even met the guy! Am I overreacting?? I honestly don't know ...

DONTtouchMUMSfestiveJUICE · 12/12/2009 21:57

yeah got him the boxers. might have tickets for his fav comedian too.

and... he doesn't do presents with his family AT ALL i found out!!!!!

surely its wrong for his only gift on xmas day to be a pair of boxers?

LittleMontyontheDustyRoad · 12/12/2009 21:59

Juice, can I join you? lol

DONTtouchMUMSfestiveJUICE · 12/12/2009 21:59

spicemonster - that is controlling. and odd. what has he being doing... checking up the medications online to see wtf they are... why did he even ask which meds you were on... weird.. and controlling...

DONTtouchMUMSfestiveJUICE · 12/12/2009 22:04

that will be 12 then.... but i have a confession... we're keeping it a secret from my mum(usually goes to my uncle and waiting till she tells us she's going there).. and my drama queen sister. the other bro/sis and their partner and dc are coming.

my mum and my sis are real pita this time of year. and if they aren't there we can all get poodled at the party and bro/sis are just going to stay over.
again.... thank goodness the bedrooms are huge in this house. but i'm going to need to get a couple of double airbeds to put in ds and dd room for each couple.

where can i get cheap airbeds/camper beds?

LittleMontyontheDustyRoad · 12/12/2009 22:04

Juice - I'm sure he'll appreciate everything. Maybe some lynx nice smellies if you don't feel that's enough, or a bottle of summat that he likes to drink which you'd have supplied anyway?

Spice - sorry I missed your post til now. He might need to mind his own beeswax. Twat when you're in pain.

DONTtouchMUMSfestiveJUICE · 12/12/2009 22:08

well technically our wkd in newcastle was our xmas gift to each other. i got room. he paid all food/diesel/etc for the wkd.

but still feels really miserable if gets here early enough on boxing day and we're al opening pressies and he has nothing but a pair of boxers.

what you getting al? or will he see on here if you post?

spicemonster · 12/12/2009 22:08

Oh thank you juice! My best mate thinks he sounds fab from his profile (which he does) but he has been a bit smothering (calling/texting/emailing me every single day) which I hate.

She's said she thinks I'm putting barriers in the way of potentially meeting the man of my dreams (she is convinced that I run a mile from any chance at True Love which may well be true but I don't think this man is it). So I didn't want to talk to her about it because I thought she'd make excuses for him. My mum thinks it's a bit weird of him but she's an old lady

LittleMontyontheDustyRoad · 12/12/2009 22:09

Juice - Three failed Marys and five Four Fathers to you. I wouldn't av em either! No grief tyvm.

So 12 it is lol.

Bit late for ebay now prob although amazon? next day delivery and all that. Millets might have them cheap this time of year?

LittleMontyontheDustyRoad · 12/12/2009 22:14

Spice - lol at old lady. I'm just a grouchy git But not that old, honest. Sleep on it with anything that'll take the pain away.

Juice, def get him a few more bits, and show him how much you care.

Al is a nightmare to buy for because if he wants something he buys it. I'll tell you a funny story later about a habitat room screen that I got for him. But I'm now back to the boring drawing board.

DONTtouchMUMSfestiveJUICE · 12/12/2009 22:17

spice - i only know from experience. i fell off a horse few months back. and was talking/msn 3 fellas at the time. 2 of which were dismissed.. 1 for lack of interest.. other because he took an over interest in what i was doing.. towards the end of the week he was telling me i should never horse ride again as too dangerous

funily enough exp used to stop me riding as he also thought too dangerous.. be he WAS a controlling arse.

meet him if he's great all else.. but he's already annoying you with constant text/calls and now this. just dwindle contact. hope he either backs off and give him another chance if he dies down..

or if he is controlling.. he'll start bombarding you with calls/emails/texts wanting to know why you are going off him.

well... usually thats what happens. but dating is fickle. you never can tell.

but checking up exactly what your meds means two things.either

a) he's looked it up online and checked it out - weird stalker behaviour

b) he's had an addiction to these things in past and knows them all off by heart.

either isn't boding well is it?

monty - you have to bring the baileys. and some tia maria too.

i love tia maria with OJ this time of year.

it takes like terry's choc orange. trust me.. go try it!!

DONTtouchMUMSfestiveJUICE · 12/12/2009 22:20

monty - i do care about him. that much i'll admit.

dc dad was pain to buy for as he buys everything he fancies too. plus he was an arse

LittleMontyontheDustyRoad · 12/12/2009 22:23

Hmmm I have no Tia Maria, but Lou reminded me earlier, I do have Disarrano, could try that.

I will bring Tia Maria and Baileys to yours.

I've had an invitation to a wedding in edinburgh next september. Where was that gawjus hotel you stayed in?
WITH IRISH. pmsl

DONTtouchMUMSfestiveJUICE · 12/12/2009 22:31

we can also make slippery nipples with the tia maria and baileys..

ooh edi will be nice for wedding. where is it?

that hotel was in newcastle... i have a moment that happened there that gives me whimsical fantasies i try not to think about. lol

LittleMontyontheDustyRoad · 12/12/2009 22:35

Juice - pmsl again.

ahem.

Do tell? lol

spicemonster · 12/12/2009 22:41

Yep juice - I think he's one of those. I'm toooo independent to be told what to do and if he's started when he hasn't even met me, it is ringing massive warning bells in my head

DONTtouchMUMSfestiveJUICE · 12/12/2009 22:44

no.. its embarassing..

oh alright

we were in the local. little old mans pub i dragged him into where he thought it would be crap.. but it was flipping heaving a real hidden gem place. i dived in huckled a seat at bar from someone.. me. only female. haha.... my huckling got us talking to the whole frigging shrug bar. every single person in there knew each other. irish dragged me out 2 hrs later as i was supposed to be driving us home at 5 am and it was nearing midnight.

in walked a scot and an irish to an english north east pub.

it was hilarious. we had a great laugh with them.

i was getting a round at one point and there was mirrors behind the bar. i overheard one of the blokes saying something about him being needing to come to scotland for "a braw lass like her".. followed by the group of men nudging and shoving and making well done comment and "hold on to that one" comments.

he said "i know"

but was alot quieter the rest of evening.

says it all really.

but it doesn't mean anything has changed between what we feel about situ

just that i know he's a little smitten in his own odd way.

LittleMontyontheDustyRoad · 12/12/2009 22:45

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

I had just gone out of the room to get another drink check on ds and the kittens typed the above.

Makes sense to me.

LittleMontyontheDustyRoad · 12/12/2009 22:48

Juice - A little!!!!!!!?????

Jeez.

Spice - sleep on it. Worth watching.

DONTtouchMUMSfestiveJUICE · 12/12/2009 22:56

monty - i've been trying not to think about it or dramatise that. or anything else we do for that matter. but seeing it in type makes it more real rather than just burying my head in the sand about it.

to my added list of things i am pretending never happened.

he called me one night when he came home from the pub and sang a song changing words to me(he's not romantic at all.. this was great fun ribbing him)... this caused a friend to start dreaming of wedding.. loon she is.

he still makes me the odd sunday roast dinner with all the trimmings if i'm childfree and he's not working.

constant contact

who am i joking... i'm still in a bloody relationship aren't i?

as for kittens.. think they need to go to school to become literate.

DONTtouchMUMSfestiveJUICE · 12/12/2009 23:11

goodnight... i'm off to bed. trying not to think about how stupid i've been thinking i was only friends and how i can resolve this after xmas is past.

LittleMontyontheDustyRoad · 12/12/2009 23:16

Juice

'he called me one night when he came home from the pub and sang a song changing the words to me...............' ohmigod. Read what you've written about him over several months.

I'm buying a hat I'm buying a hat. (call me a loon, but I'm not).

Where would you get married?

lol

I'll send the kittens to school while I'm at your wedding party.

lou33 · 12/12/2009 23:17
