at this point i feel i have to say that mechanic has no problems in that dept at all, regardless of how long it was last time etc

woohoo!

lou33 · 29/12/2009 10:34

and in a separate post, as it didnt seem right to mention it at the same time, dd2 is 13 today

Betty79 · 29/12/2009 12:14

happy birthday to your dd2 lou, hope she has a nice day

Betty79 · 29/12/2009 12:19

oooh just had my river island sale shopping arrive have got a few new nice things to choose from for new year now

christmaseve · 29/12/2009 12:30

Still in touch with Doorman, obviously, and guess he will text when he's feeling horny lonely but it's not happening. He is more than a decade younger then me after all.

Agree that there is nothing wrong with imagining a new one going all the way, puts it in perspective as to how much you like them and how much you are prepared to put into it.

lou- happy bday to dd2

electra - have been out with someone who used to say all that needing a rest stuff after about 5 mins I found it really annoying tbh....we were in our 20s at the time so imo he should have had lots of energy! I dread to think what he's like now, 10 years or so on....

have just checked my fb - fb man has updated his status another 4 times (!) but has he replied to me.....still no! how hard would it be to send a thanks but no thanks reply? Am now sorely tempted to delete him as per bettys suggestion.

on another issue, am now worrying about my date with 10 years younger man - he is really v gorgeous (& I am not - but my profile pic on Match is ridiculously flattering ) am hoping he doesnt get a horrible shock when i turn up

Betty79 · 29/12/2009 16:06

sponge-but what if he's not as gorgeous as in his pics? lol when are you meeting? and as for 5 min man bet ur glad u didnt end up married to him

hatesponge · 29/12/2009 16:18

betty - no he will be! he has several photos and they range from very attractive to DDG (drop dead gorgeous)

we are going out sometime next week, probably thurs or fri [slightly nervous grin emoticon]

oh, and have finally got a reply from FB man. What do we think of this - he lost a tooth over Xmas (crown rather than whole tooth I presume) & said he wont come out til its sorted, so maybe he can see me in Feb!

FFS 2 days and thats the best way he can think of to fob me off. would rather have just had a one word answer ie no.

hatesponge · 29/12/2009 16:23

am now seriously thinking of deleting him on FB. because in my world that sounds like a total brush off & that he's not at all interested in me, so am wasting my time....am I being unfair?

Betty79 · 29/12/2009 16:31

sponge-id say oh dear send me a pic so i can have a laugh! seriously tho i dont know what id think of that, took him long enough to reply so think its more likely to be a brush off tbh

hatesponge · 29/12/2009 16:37

well, I know the losing of the tooth is true, he has mentioned it on his status updates since before I asked him for a drink, but it still seems like an excuse to me

Betty79 · 29/12/2009 16:41

hmm i dont know then, if it was the other way round would u want to go on dates with a tooth missing? i wouldnt but then does it take a month to get fixed?? anyway you've got another date fixed so id leave him on ur fb and see if he contacts u in feb and get on with dating others or just delete him.

christmaseve · 29/12/2009 17:12

hatesponge, I thought my pics on POF were flattering until someone I met said they didn't do me justice!

I've just deleted my profile on POF, been on it over 2 years and only actually met 3 people, 2 of whom were not my type. Decided I hate internet dating.

DD has been invited to a party on NYE. Halleulia (sp) one with actual teenage boys. I will be pushing her out the door. So that means I'm free to go out. No-one to go out with. A couple of mates will be around so might meet up with them.

Betty79 · 29/12/2009 17:15

eve-yay to dd going out lol now u just need to get yourself sorted for somewhere to go with that new dress!

lou33 · 29/12/2009 17:26

cor blimey i am knackered from today

i took dd2 for a day of girly shopping (we both had top shop vouchers as part of a xmas pressie from my sister), and only had to add £3 to the total

bought her a couple more bits in new look, then went picked her a cake (huge french fancy to feed 12 , yum), came back and got the boys from dd1 and took all 3 of them to pets at home to buy Barry the long haired syrian hamster (her xmas money bought the cage and him)

to make sure Mimi, her female hamster didnt get jealous she bought her a toy, bless lol
we are meant to be going out for dinner in a few hours, but she has asked to do it tomorrow now as we are both so tired

suits me fine

christmaseve · 29/12/2009 17:29

Her birthday sounds great.

Betty the pubs a mile away are good on NYE just need to arrange to meet people.

lou33 · 29/12/2009 17:36

it has been good

she just said she had the best xmas and birthday ever, and is running me a bath to say thank you

she also said that her and the rest of the kids approve of mechanic and he can be my long term bf

not told him that yet tho lol

Betty79 · 29/12/2009 17:49

eve-the local pubs sound like a plan

lou-glad dd had a good birthday

lou33 · 29/12/2009 18:17

she did ok out of me

a cd, a trip to the cinema for her and her friend, a pair of pyjamas, a body warmer, a new mobile phone, and dinner out tomorrow

plus she had 100 odd quid to spend in cash and vouchers from xmas and birthday money combined

lou33 · 29/12/2009 18:18

her dad didnt send a card though, finally spoke to her this evening to say if i take her to guildford on thurs he will buy her lunch

she hasnt let it spoil her day though

DONTtouchMUMSfestiveJUICE · 29/12/2009 18:54

sponge - i'd just delete him. sounds like too much work. but i'd tell him i were deleting him first and he knows your email if he changes his mind in feb.

lou - birthday sounds good.

well... had a blooming awful day.

told beachbum it was over for good. decided it was just too much fucking around (literally)

which was . but had to do it as it was never going to be a goer was it.

then.... went to pick up kids and found his NW playing with kids. i wasn't prewarned at all. think i was in complete shock. there's a 25yr age gap between me and exp... and his nw looks younger . she's possibly thai/chinese... so she may be older but just looks younger.... but... jeeze a warning would have been nice.

text irish. and told him... obviously wrong thing to do as he hasn't replied. heard from his this morning. he is better and out and about.. so possibly just out with his friends and will get back to me when he's not in earshot of them.... but i dont think so... think i shouldn't have told him. another thing that is a struggle for him is when my exp is being arsey... he's aware if he's with me then he needs to put up with exp being arsey and upsetting me. so i try not to tell him when he is annoying me... but there's been the odd occasion where i've been with irish and exp has gone off on one with calling repeatedly (36 missed calls one day) or shouting down phone.... i've just reminded irish again of another complication of being involved with me.... pschotic ex who likes to cause grief with my life... irish likes things simple.

lets face it ladies... we're hugely put off by guys with pscho ex gf aren't way... and men are put off by our pschotic ex's too.

so... we'll see IF or WHAT he responds with.

DONTtouchMUMSfestiveJUICE · 29/12/2009 19:22

mean new woman not wife.

Betty79 · 29/12/2009 19:37

juice-do u mean u told irish about exp's nw being with kids? maybe like u say he's waiting till later to talk properly or he might not know what to say about it.

DONTtouchMUMSfestiveJUICE · 29/12/2009 19:45

yeah.. just a text saying "omg - what a shock, walked in on exp gf playing with kids. fucker could have warned me"

it was only back of 5pm. so not ages ago. he did tell me earlier he was out and about. so hopefully not think .. fuck here we go.

i'm still in shock i think.. from what happened it turns out she's met kids a while. dc knew her name and were really comfortable with her. they are normally very shy when meet anyone at all.

sincitylover · 29/12/2009 20:04

omg lots going on here. Juice must have been a shock.

We have come back early from my mums - it didn't go very well.

In a nutshell - they live in the middle of nowhere and boys get a bit of cabin fever - I warned them if they didn't stop fighting then we would leave and I followed through. They would not allow them to go in the garden because it might mess up the grass !!!!

But I also wanted to leave as it was difficult - my mum continually talks about me in the third person when I'm there using words such as she, her and worst of all 'mother'. I try not to let it bother me but it does. Also as we were leaving she said I looked like Susan Boyle and when I challenged her she said it was just my boobs.

it was also cold and distinct lack of food. In the past I ahve gone out and bought extra rations but that has been met by my mother taking offence.

So am back home in my very untidy house and sitting here feeling happy with a very large glass of wine (none was offered there).
