Me either SCL, just cannot be bothered these days. Have lost what little enthusiasm I had for dating and all that shite (phrasing says it all there I think).

Not surprised you feel sad about your mum. She sounds quite difficult and not a little poisonous. Has she always been like that?

For NYE I'm going to be down in Newcastle with my rellies and DS - that's providing the weather holds off as we're still with the heavy snow up here.

yes she has really - very bizarre - I don't like to bore people too much with it anymore - its way too late to confront it - some people have suggested she might be jealous - not sure if that's true - she had me quite young and they have had a very happy marriage but have stayed in their own little bubble IYKWIM. Meanwhile I have moved away and had more of an adventurous life.

But it has always felt uncomfortable and we don't have that 'friend' type relationship that some do. She also never comments on my appearance unless its negative.

She did buy me a Cosmo (magazine) which I haven't read for ages and said she had read the sex article and I think that was sort of an olive branch but really I can't take the constant criticism.

Its predicted to be very cold here tomorrow so think we are staying in. I did go to party last year so don't always stay in. If it were better weather we would go to a local hill and watch fireworks cos it overlooks Central London.

Thanks

Betty. Sounds like you're in for a good one.

What's this about Coventry? Juicy where do you get the energy from. I say if you are not exclusive then go for it...if you want to of course!

Am concious I can turn into a bit of a hermit @ Xma/NY time. Don't know why but I do get quite depressed around this time of year. Chatted to my mum and she said she often felt same.

Think it's cos I feel a wee bit lonely - last place I lived in was not great and new place is lovely but I don't really know anyone and my friends live a wee bit away. Neighbours seem very nice though...think I need to get over my hermitty/shy thing.

Hi SCL - just wondering which hill you're near in London - one of my fave ways of spending NYE (and where I spent millennium NYE) was on either Kite or Primrose Hill. My DTs are still a bit young but will take them up there to celebrate when they're older.

found you all on the new thread

well I'm in tomorrow night as well, all my single mates are out I can't join them as Ex P is busy with his chavvy GF (I'm allowed to be horrible about her given a few things she's said in the past about me!) so will have a nice night at home instead with the DC - they are very excited as I've said I will be buying them some M&S nibbles (anyone would think they were normally fed on scraps the way they have gone on about it!) & something fizzy for me.

am feeling rather happy tonight as my date for next week has sent me a msg saying he was really looking forward to it he's not the only one!

Thanks

kdk - I wish - I live in SE London (but nr the river) and so our local hill is there. Don't want to completely out myself.

Have always fancied living in the primrose hill area though.

sponge - saw a very good offer from M & S three party food plus cava for a tenner - is that what you are doing? - might avail myself of that one.

SCL, if my geography is correct you're not that far from me - although I am more Kent than SE London. Yes its the party for £10 deal we'll get, DC have already put in their requests for the three party food items!

I spend many of my Sundays in SE London/kent for Ds2 football matches so I know it well.

SCL - tis a small world, DS1 & 2 are also Sunday footballers, think both are Selkent league atm, though they seem to change leagues every season somewhat confusingly!

SCL - my DS2 is u9s as well. This is getting spooky!

DS1 is U12s.
