Oh yes, the late night caller thing. I've had that too - it's very annoying isn't it.

Boris sounds so gorgeous

Well, guess who I heard from today (by email) - the exbf. Just a quick message to say he hopes I have a lovely christmas. I've replied with same as I feel there is no harm.

CM also asking me 'over' (hmm). While it's flattering I'm just too busy to bother atm.

Also at work today although will be leaving early...keeping my fingers crossed that there aren't any problems with the train as planning to meet friends for drinks in the eve. At least am keeping busy to take my mind off missing DS.

I've kind of ended up seeing three different guys and it's all getting a bit um....complex!

How do you decide who to keep seeing?

Guy 1 at first seemed very promising - he's very good looking (has done modeling) and seemed nice, normal etc. However the more I saw of him the less I liked him. We have to keep having a conversation about how everyone thinks he's attractive, but he doesn't and what do I think? And his post coital conversation leaves rather a lot to be desired and is usually about how it was for me and what I think of his body parts

Guy 2 I have to be careful of because he is in my social circle. He's nice but was a bit full on with me which has made me run the other way. I was walking up the road with dd3 and he wanted me to come into the pub and be all coupley with him which I found a bit weird. He's also always pressing to find out what I'm doing......

Guy 3 is yet another Italian guy - perhaps I will have to come to terms with having a thing for Italian men. I like him because he is cool but also nice but the problem is I doubt he will stay in the UK.....

lou33 · 24/12/2009 15:23

number one would be offputting for me

number 2 may be genuinely keen,so i would say number 2 or 3

Janos · 24/12/2009 16:45

electra-

Bloke number one sounds a right pain. Two sounds very keen, is there anything that would put you off apart from that?

lou33 · 24/12/2009 17:36

mechanic just said he has bought the kids some selection boxes

thesouthsbelle · 24/12/2009 19:34

evening all.

well he did come over last night (about half 11 apologising profusely) stopped until I kicked him out about half 1. I am now with 3 more pressies under the tree (well only 2 as he wanted me to open one last night) - the joke one lol. was funny. (his football teams maths set - quite appropriate considering my degree/job lol) the other 2 - one looks like chocs the other looks like god knows what lol. still was fantastic to see him even if I was tired. lots of kissing, even more laughing, and he actually looked hotter than before he went away - roll on seeing him after the new year lol.

janos - hope your xmas is ok still without DS.

lou how was your trip to the super market/festivesoh & mechanic is deffo keen on you & your lot. so when are you getting a boris then?!?

electra - tbh I think i'd go with no 3 - what's he saying re staying in the country?

where's everyone else today? am just doing the finishing touches now - doesn't feel like xmas althou DS has been off the wall most of the day. (now has a nice chest infection to go with it!) last few bits brought & will be wrapping them now then bath & bed for me.

thesouthsbelle · 24/12/2009 20:50

ok..... have done a bad bad bad thing............ (opened my pressies from gymboy today - OMG I have NO will power at all when it comes to pressies......

he got me 3 solid choc bauballs (the huge ones) god knows HOW i'm going to eat them (wonder if he's trying to say I have a big mouth....... hmm???) and a set of 5 mini Armani perfumes. (and the cardiff thing).... happy chappy. wonder how mine will go down - know the t shirt was liked. not sure on the DVD/aftershave thou.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 24/12/2009 21:14

right you lot - please see my message re advice and give me a good talking to .... am getting on my own nerves and wondering whether to give up on whole internet thing again but then completely at a loss about where and how to meet men.

LittleMontyontheDustyRoad · 24/12/2009 23:06

Evening all!

Hey Kdk will have a look.

LittleMontyontheDustyRoad · 24/12/2009 23:16

Hmmmm. I'm not sure, you have tried already. I think on here the ladies might say one last try, you always have to ask them a question so they get back to you and you're maintaining a conversation.

What sites have you tried?

Helloooooooo am I the only person around??

(can you tell Monty has been at the baileys again lol)

lou33 · 25/12/2009 09:48

good morning and merry xmas

the mechanic got eh kids some selection boxes, and dd1 being older some more grown up choccies, and another box for me lol

he went this morning, after kids had come in and squealed about their stockings and will be back this evening

they are all delighted with their gifts, all opened in about 10 mins flat, remind me not to worry too much about the quality of the wrapping ever again

i also just found 40 quid by my bed, mechanic had left it here for me this morning to go towards the food and drink he has been eating

i told him off

hope you all have a lovely day with your loved ones

kdk · 25/12/2009 10:22

Hi LittleMonty

I'm sure everyone's right and I should just forget him and I probably agree - just for some reason I tend to get such eejits approaching me that thinking back he was by far the best - being an internet-connected sort I'd checked him out and he seems genuine/interesting and intelligent - just probably not that interested in me!

If you want to look at my profile I'm on Soulmates (guardian site)

not sure if I can link but try here dating.guardian.co.uk/s/profile/summary.php or do a name search for mzdemeanour - I know crap name but couldn't think of anything better ...

kdk · 25/12/2009 10:23

Also tbh I think I"m just jealous of everyone else and their lovely heartwarming success stories and want one of my own [goes off to open bottle of rubbish brandy and drown sorrows when should be cooking christmas lunch for 10]

lou33 · 25/12/2009 11:25

lol @ your cross between george clooney etc

its a nice profile

dont give up hope, there are some good ones out there you know

sincitylover · 25/12/2009 11:32

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.

sincitylover · 25/12/2009 11:36

ooh just saw mention of clooney (swoon emoticon) - now would consider him LOL

Have another cold - my eyes and nose streaming. Must take more care of myself in 2010

passmyglassplease · 25/12/2009 11:38

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE

I already am recovering from from to much food and wine last night, don't know if I'll be able to do it again this afternoon, ah well I can give it a go!

The dcs were thrilled with their presents as was the nm, so brownie points for me

Hope you all have a great day x x

lou33 · 25/12/2009 11:51

the mechanic is at work, had 6 jobs already, which is busy for xmas day, but his boss just called him and said to make up for being so busy he will give him 30% of all the money from the jobs he does as a bonus, which is good

oh and last night he told me he thought i could really be the one for him

kids had a bit of a tiff which escalated into a screaming match, when i intervened they started yelling at me so i top trumped them and yelled they were ungrateful and upsetting me, then went to calm down with a fag

I am just about to prepare the food for later and then have a bath i think, with something not too strong but bubbly and tasty in my glass

ooh i forgot to say, it turns out it is not only cars the mechanic is good at doing, he did his old place up from a shell, so he said if i make a list of diy jobs to be done, he will do then HAPPY DAYS

right i am off to find a drink and get the veg sorted

have fun everyone

sincitylover · 25/12/2009 12:28

Wow Lou hang on to him.

I can't even find anyone to fix my cistern and actually got the fire brigade round to check the house 'cos I knew that they would check my smoke alarm and they actually fitted a further one . Sadly none of them were fanciable but extremely grateful to them!

Once asked exh to do something to ds1s bike and he said he was on his way to meet someone for lunch and couldn't get his hands dirty (fey emoticon).

Sun is shining - turkey in the oven - clean floors (yes I know on Xmas Day I have been mopping floors) - dcs quietish - I'm happy.

lou33 · 25/12/2009 13:07

i will try

aseriouslyblondemoment · 25/12/2009 19:15
