sponge-sorry to hear ur ex is being an arse! and well as for fb man, his loss move on to next one lol

juice-yeah why havent u ivited irish to ur party? He's met the dc's now hasnt he?

as for me i know i said yest i was happy with pace of things with mrjack maybe im just kidding myself. He left yest at 11am from mine and I didnt hear from him at all in the end i caved and text him today, he replied to say he was at friends last night and is working today but was a really short text, no 'how r u etc' he doesnt tend to text a lot when he's working anyway but still. Argghh i prob shud chill but it's bothered me a bit. What would u ladies think?

christmaseve · 28/12/2009 15:48

Lou, I meant explains how they are amicable etc, such a strain to go through and nothing short of rock solid could survive it. Sorry it looked wrong.

Well I've had a call from salesman, no mention of meeting up except he wants me to set up a fb page for him when I mentioned my friend was on it. .

Bought a new dress today for NYE and I've no-where to go. Might get together with a friend but she has started seeing someone so she may be busy with him. This holiday is getting worse. Going to put off hitting the town shops until Wednesday as I'm still not feeling great.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 28/12/2009 15:50

aww lou it's nice lol
and it's great that he's been accepted by the dcs so readily but i'm imagining that boris has alot to do with that
happy birthday to dd2 had almost forgotten that she shares her b'day with a certain MN-er from this thread lol
juicy does he know that you're having a party?i think you're both really enjoying all these mind guessing games,i'm sure it adds to the anticipation
sponge am glad you had a good xmas with the dcs and your mates.sadly all the exh/p's on here play that pathetic little trick on us.it's called power in their eyes
are you going to give the dating sites another go?

Betty, just seen your post. All you can do is wait and see if he makes an effort after work.

ASBM I missed the part about possibly buying a house together. Great if you are 100% sure. Will be good to have a fresh start either way.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 28/12/2009 15:57

ohh eve
you have to go out if you have a new frock to wear
how are you feeling anyhow?
betty hmm would try to stay chilled if you can and not text him,it's annoying that some blokes do this it's a bit thoughtless tbh.i know that you like him but you can't allow yourself to be treated shoddily!

aseriouslyblondemoment · 28/12/2009 16:00

yeah i'm 100%, he's a good un and the dcs love him

Betty - am used to it with my Ex. He was a total tosser when we were together, so I guess he was hardly going to change & become a normal person once we split up....still not heard from him or the DC!

As to FB man, I know its his loss but I'd just like him to say No, rather than just ignoring me, as that annoys the hell out of me. Something similar happened with a guy I work with - I asked him for a post work drink & he stopped speaking to me for a month. I do start to wonder if its me?

As to mrjack, please don't worry - if he was with his mates he probably wouldn't want to be seen texting his girlfriend (all the guys I know get the piss taken out of them royally for doing stuff like that!) and he's probably busy/distracted at work....it's only natural for you to feel a bit wobbly but I honestly dont think you have any need to worry (mind you , look at my life, what do I know!)

Eve - at salesman, and if its any consolation, I have no NY eve plans either - will be sitting at home with DC whilst all my friends are at parties/pub!

Betty79 · 28/12/2009 16:06

thanks eve and asbm-havent text him back cos it's pissed me off a bit. And there was no Q in it from him to answer anyway so hey ho. will just leave it till later and see what happens.

eve- new year can be awful cant it, Hope you manage to do something nice

christmaseve · 28/12/2009 16:10

ASBM 100% is as good as it gets. You could be the first real success of the thread. I'm slowly getting back to my old self, thank you.

Hatesponge I try never to ask men out and let them do the contacting. Doesn't get me anywhere though.

Betty79 · 28/12/2009 16:18

thanks sponge, i dont think he'd call me his gf yet anyway

and asbm-

eve-glad ur feeling a bit better

Angelcat666 · 28/12/2009 16:23

Where are all the fit,interesting and available men..... Pt.15!!! and 910posts!!!

Hmmm.....get the feeling I'm a bit late arriving to this thread

lou33 · 28/12/2009 16:27

the kids really do like him, and yes i am sure boris has a lot to do with it

but they do like him too, they were entertaining us with various comedy performances last night and i had to force them to bed in the end

even dd1 , who usually has her thumb glued to her phone texting her mates, has been making effort, though i think it was more because she thought he may be able to get her some booze for nye (he told me she asked), cheeky madame

lou33 · 28/12/2009 16:28

never too late to join in

aseriouslyblondemoment · 28/12/2009 16:30

thanks eve!
shows there's hope yet?!
look at lou as well,all loved domesticated up
it's all quite far removed from those pissed off postings of 11 months ago isn't it?
angelcat hop on board tho it's often a rocky ride

OP posts:
aseriouslyblondemoment · 28/12/2009 16:31

rofl
top marks for trying tho eh lou?!

OP posts:
lou33 · 28/12/2009 16:35

look at me indeed

hes called me 4 times today and sent countless texts

and now he just said he will get ds1 for me when he finishes work, instead of me having to go now because i have stuff to be getting on with

ds1 will love that, sitting in his van

Angelcat666 · 28/12/2009 16:39

Thanks to Lou and a seriouslyblondemoment

I'm kind of dipping my toe in the water atm through a dating site, having been single since I split up with my X in 2000.

Lou, he sounds a good one, although I have to admit I've only really read this page so far

lou33 · 28/12/2009 16:45

yes i think i have found a good one this time

it should be me driving about really, he has been at work since 7am and wont finish til 6, so will be 7 before he gets to me

but i am holding the fort here washing up sitting at the pc on mn

i must get on with stuff actually, i have an extra child here tonight as well

hatesponge · 28/12/2009 16:54

angelcat welcome, i'm a relative newbie to the thread myself, but everyone here is lovely, you will get lots of positive advice & encouragement! and there are an increasing number of success stories - asbm, lou, (just waiting for juice/irish to give in & admit they are meant to be, lol!)

what site are you on? I've been on Match for a few weeks, seems ok so far.

eve - I never used to do the asking, then thought what the hell, but this doesnt seem to work either! to be fair to FB man, have realised he is at the footie (clue should have been all his status updates are footie related!) so might give him til tonight to reply!

oh, and my friend just reminded me I had 2 guys chatting me up in the pub on Boxing night (albeit both were a good 10 years younger than me!)so possibly I'm not beyond hope!....even got a kiss from one of them

aseriouslyblondemoment · 28/12/2009 17:07

yeah but we're all enjoying the juicy/irish saga tho

OP posts:
Angelcat666 · 28/12/2009 17:20

Thanks Hatesponge

I'm on eharmony, atm I'm paying per month but when I get my student loan in Jan I want to take the year out as it's a lot cheaper. I tried dating direct once, only stayed on about half an hour and left, just didn't like it. Eharmony is much more my style, I think, with guided communication before open communication, less scarey anyway

lou33 · 28/12/2009 17:50

i'm loving the juice/irish plotline

mechanic just sent me some really really sweet texts

Betty79 · 28/12/2009 18:26

oh yeah lou, did it involve to 'L' word? hehe

aseriouslyblondemoment · 28/12/2009 18:57

i think it's a YES as lou's gone a tad quiet

OP posts:
Betty79 · 28/12/2009 19:04

come on lou we need to know
