Morning all - Merry Xmas to all of us and families.
Ditto - our presents were unwrapped in about ten mins flat. DCs seem happy with what they got and weren't too worried about the contents of their stockings (my main worry)
KDK - don't lose heart - its early days - I think I was quite sensitive to each person when I started out but almost learned to detach myself from it and grew a thicker skin. I consciously changed my mindset IYKWIM
I don't have a specific success story - I did date a guy for about six months but the overall success story is that I have come a long way regarding my own self esteem from when I started out, I've had plenty of fun, recently have not been short of male attention in RL and overall feel pretty optimistic on the 'man front' despite being the wrong side of 40.
However I ' m not particularly looking for a new partner as such but if someone exceptional came along might consider.
Right off to sort out the kitchen, cook lunch and make a trifle.
Now the big day is actually here I always feel less tense and worried. The immediate lead up absolutely does me in.
Had the royal wave from exh, new p and the dts from their doorstep yesterday.
All very nice but then found out that the pressie from the dcs to me had been derided (it was an R&B CD) with 'how can your mother like that vile music'!!!
Yeah right I'm a real gangsta doncha know.
Hope to be back later hope everyone's having fun.
