Part 15 still lurking about, I believe.

ha ha ha i never missed those bits when i was married....have changed my perspective now tho

know what u mean about not being bothered getting dressed up etc esp in this weather!

I need a good girls night out soon i think

ninah · 09/01/2010 22:44

oh dear. I hope you will meet someone who will blow him out of your mind. Same for me, also. Have an annoying soft spot for dc dad which is completely unconnected to the reality of our disastrous relationship

ninah · 09/01/2010 22:45

scl! and there's me thinking you were on about oil changes
or nose picking farting and leaving the seat up of course

Betty79 · 09/01/2010 22:45

scl and ninah-think it must be really hard when u still have soft spot for someone, luckily i dont about my ex

kdk · 09/01/2010 22:45

me too - but I'd like a drink or meal first please ... and have to be back to his as I live with my mum and two five-year-olds - that's my other problem - I don't get any time without them as their dad lives abroad so doing the deed would take a lot of planning and favours from my mum ....

sincitylover · 09/01/2010 22:48

he actually had the arrogance to say about eighteen months ago that while he was in the picture I wouldn't meet anyone else!! well have met other people but he seems to remain in the picture.

Thankfully don't have a soft spot for dcs dad. I think that would be harder tbh!!

kdk · 09/01/2010 22:51

and I so don't have a soft spot for my ex ... he phones occasionally - not to speak to his kids (who, according to him, he misses and adores) but to interrogate me about who I'm seeing and to declare his undying love. Last time he phoned, I told him he could talk to my mother - which he did for nearly an hour, the prat.

LOL at ninah though - he was as crap at all of them sadly

Betty79 · 09/01/2010 22:52

kdk-do u have twins then? that wud be a hard one, but fine as long as he has his own place im in a similar boat re dc's dad he's in forces and prob sees them once every 2-3 months and never has them overnight.

scl-what an arrogant nob!lol

ninah · 09/01/2010 22:55

yeah is pita when dc dad as you can never ever lose their number
gosh 5 year old twins! you must be busy

kdk · 09/01/2010 22:57

scl - you so deserve better!

I'm off to bed now, sweet dreams all of you!

ninah · 10/01/2010 00:29

OK I must turn in soon I know I will regret it tomorrow
anyone on match? seen a profile I like

DONTtouchMUMSfestiveJUICE · 10/01/2010 02:23

woo hoo... i'm back.. and obviously had too many red bulls as wide awake.

so... diy man... his car got stuck.. but didn't think to tell me till he was already half an hr late ... so ended up telling him i wasn't waiting around.

instead.. called another guy i've been texting from pof.... had a night out, went clubbing/bars.. sober. was great place... but.. my gosh... this fella was really full on... and kept staring at me.... might have liked him if he hadn't been so intese... kept saying "you are the female version of me".. then... said i was being guarded.. and he was annoyed he couldn't suss me out ... then kept saying i should "come out my shell and be very open with my feelings".. er.. no... jesus its only first date, what the heck do you want me to tell you? would you like a big emotional outburst and tales of a tragic youth..... still had a good time though.

but thats 2 down in one night

scl - dont think you will ever leave exbf completely unless you meet someone who really bowls you over.

thesouthsbelle · 10/01/2010 09:10

yes ninah I am, re soft spots, I think when you're getting on with them it's easier to see the whole thing with rose tinted glasses on really.

betty - what is it your ex does in the forces again? mine's already suffering a bit from the every other week a the new posting means this is an actie unit instead of a training one where he never worked w.e's so we're doing a lot of juggling right now.

juicy - check you out!

how's everyone anyhow?

passmyglassplease · 10/01/2010 09:39

morning all,

am bored with the snow now as haven't been able to get out and the dcs are off since wednesday and probably tomorrow as well!

nm unable to make it over to me as there is a weather forecast for blizzards today and he needs to be able to get back to work

haven't been able to get out running for a week, and I am seriously fed up and frustrated.

rant over, as you were

Betty79 · 10/01/2010 09:43

belle-he works for royal fleet auxillary so is based on a ship when he's at work, is supposed to do 4 months on/2 months off but never works out that way but a lot of the time thats his choice as he asks to extend it anyway he's also been living with his dad 200 miles away when on leave so hasnt made it very easy for him to have regular contact with dc's. he recons he's gonna rent up here as soon as he is on leave at easter, in some ways i hope he does so the dc's can see him more often and he has somewhere to take them, just means i have to see more of him too then! anyway that turned into a bit of an essay lol

juice-lol sounds like u had a good night, so are you not gonna see him again then?

well i've sorted a babysitter for tonight, no idea what we are gonna do tho, might suggest bowling as something fun to do and we havent been together so far

poshtottie · 10/01/2010 10:04

Betty79, Sorry to intrude, saw your post in active convos. Just to let you know that dh is in the RFA and they like to extend their time if overseas as they get their tax back.

Betty79 · 10/01/2010 10:22

poshtottie-I know that's normally the case, but he hasnt been out of the uk for about 2 years now, his ships have been around the uk coast and they dont get to claim tax back then

poshtottie · 10/01/2010 10:36

Betty, thats true, dh quite likes been around the Uk coast as at least we get to see him occasionally.

Good luck, hope things work out.

DONTtouchMUMSfestiveJUICE · 10/01/2010 11:53

betty - nah.. dont think i'll see him again.. either of them.

gonna take the opportunity today to study.

gotta catch up. behind from all those wkds spent drunk .

on that note going for my watch when irish finishes work tonight.

belle - i hope you haven't given him your number yet?

betty - have fun tonight

Betty79 · 10/01/2010 13:06

Oh well juice at least u had fun

lou33 · 10/01/2010 13:16

aseriouslyblondemoment · 10/01/2010 18:05

just looking in and having a nosey at what everyone's been up to
lol @ juicy and your 2 dates in one night
fingers crossed for getting your watch back and finally cutting contact
belle like everyone else says it's always on his terms never yours
just waiting for dcs to return aft.a quiet but lovely w/e with dp spent doing absolutely nothing-total bliss eh?

DONTtouchMUMSfestiveJUICE · 10/01/2010 18:41

got my watch... no prob. just got it at his and just our usual kinda meeting, not awkward or weird...... i practically ran out door to avoid the awkward leaving scenario... hand shaking anyone???

kdk · 10/01/2010 18:44

glad you got your watch back - know what you mean about leaving/ending - I hate them at the best of times and I'm sure that tonight's wasn't that by a long way. So, be honest, do you think you'll see him again?

DONTtouchMUMSfestiveJUICE · 10/01/2010 18:56

honestly... yeah... i text him when arranging to meet saying i would be friends as long as we could do sober stuff... and not till i've had some time to get my head together and start seeing someone else so i'm not tempted to molest him
