good choice!!
sponge he sounds a real catch
lou you know us all too well

Didn't come back last night as recvd a very sad text from RL friend saying her mum had died. Had been ill but not really expected.

LOL at peg leg being something else

sponge - 8 & 13 - in a weird way the older craves the younger one's attention and wants him to play but then it leads to a fight. I agree they are pushing my boundaries to the lmit prob because of their dad and his situation. Makes me feel better to hear about your two - I feel your pain.

Juice - aaargh have sent a couple of random txts to exbf this week - linked to I'm sure not wanting to waste my free saturday evening this week. I at least like to pack some action into my free time and I suppose it's a case of better the devil you know.

Am still texting the gardener though -it's so wooden though and also Mr Happy is emailing on the site.

Mr Yorke sent another email on fb asking if we would ever talk again. So perhaps he is beginning to answer his own questions.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 14/01/2010 11:13

ohh lol wonder what juicy will say
and yes dcs.i think alot of the probs.lie with the way our exh's parent them when they have them
but to a certain extent sibling rivalry is always going to happen
tho it's little consolation it helps me alot to know that i'm not the only one going thru this-aargh!!!
and like you i'm really looking forward to my me time this weekend!
do you think you'd be able to block yorke on fb now?

lou33 · 14/01/2010 16:51

ive been in bed most of the day, woke up at 5am feeling really nauseous and hot then cold

i am feeling a bit better now though

but for some reason my exh sent me a text telling em to watch a programme on tv tonight about an area we passed through on holiday 20 yrs ago

he is stuck in the past isnt he?

ninah · 14/01/2010 16:52

I used to dress Boy George stylee too monty not down to the plaits but def the look ...no, I don't work in London any more, more's the pity, I am in the sticks - really miss it!
OK fellow SOH (Sitting on Hands) Anonymous I did not initiate contact all week. I received a call last night, couldn't talk at time, called back, kept it civil, and managed to avoid future plans being made. Do I get the prize? Aaand - I winked at a man on match (though I did run away afterwards).

ninah · 14/01/2010 16:54

sorry about your friend scl

lou33 · 14/01/2010 16:56

yes scl i meant to say sorry about your friend, am not fully with it today

kdk · 14/01/2010 17:39

me too scl - hope your friend is bearing up - wish her long life (it's a Jewish tradition).

@ sponge - if you've got a sub to match, would you do me a big favour? I've had emails from a couple of guys that I wouldn't mind being in contact with, but can't at the moment afford a sub to match (am a member of guardian soulmates - fat lot of good that has been so far!). Let me know, if it's a problem, don't worry!

DONTtouchMUMSfestiveJUICE · 14/01/2010 18:04

wooo hoo... evening all.

re peg leg.... well... i've been well and truly ruined by irish... every future peg i see will seem more like a matchstick

SOH anon - well i've gone through day2 of no texting successfully. ninah - you are def doing the best. scl - thats where i come a cropper... if i have my overnight thats childfree completely empty.. it feels like such a waste. and i know.. even though he's protesting just now... i could persuade irish into it.... but i have to be strong.. and resist the urge.

wel... looking good for my friend with scarey boyf.... his pschiatrist has told him to have a 2 week break from her.. she's deleted his number.and he's deleted hers so they have a proper break. hoping she stays away this wkd and comes to play with me.... if i can keep her here over the wkd... all i need to do is get her sloshed... on a wicked night out and she'll break free. i'm sad to say i've been here before with her.... i just need one wkd... and i can get her confidence back enough to chuck him for good. even better if they aren't in contact so he's got chance to ruin the fun by giving her 3rd degree or making her feel bad for enjoying herself.. he's a real cracker at buggering up everyones fun by sending her some really shit texts when we're on a night out so she has a terrible time.

i have no idea why she picks these losers ... she's had a couple of good ones.. just not been right.. but she never seems to take heed of the signs of a nutter till she's attached

sorry to hear alot of you guys have been unwell. hope you feel better soon.

so far my date with pegleg(much better nickname than the officer) is still on.

anyone else on dates this wkd?

kdk · 14/01/2010 19:00

Juicy - your mate sounds like how I used to be (am hoping I've moved on now) - I have had a tendency to pick tossers/psychos and the emotionally illiterate or unavailable ...
a few times I had nice guys I quite often managed to find a way of screwing it up ... then I got married and didn't live happily ever after!

Steal her phone off her/accidentally drop it down the loo or something!

Sadly no dates and even if I had an offer, no babysitter as my mother aka the childminder has had the temerity to organise herself an evening out on Saturday, the cheeky mare - just can't get the staff these days!

ninah · 14/01/2010 19:13

I see you mean juicy I get a child free day, but a child free eve would be real texting temptation ...
stay strong! and lots of luck to your friend

thesouthsbelle · 14/01/2010 19:21

I have a date with the sailor on sat, my friend sat am (owe her a b'day present). and that's about it for me - oh possibly may take mum to the pics sat night, guess it depends really how things go with the sailor?!

sin - block york now. absolutely.

juicy - agree get her to leave her phone at home.

kdk - sounds like me n my parents lol.

my no contact hasn't worked I am as of Saturday going to fully put an end to it - why do I keep getting drawn back in?!? why why?!?

he texts, calls have stopped thou - guess there's someone else for him to call now?!?

DONTtouchMUMSfestiveJUICE · 14/01/2010 19:29

belle - why wait till sat?

ninah · 14/01/2010 19:30

belle .... tut tut

kdk · 14/01/2010 19:34

See what you mean by long profiles - - mind you, this guy's makes mine look monosyllabic!

thesouthsbelle · 14/01/2010 19:50

I don't know guess end of the week - new start, besides there's some seriously big stuff happening in work at the mo & not in a good way which I need to focus on so can't be all upset & emotional there tomorrow.

Janos · 14/01/2010 20:35

Juicy that is good news about your friend. Kidnap here and keep her at yours. Oh yeah and don't let her NEAR a mobile, especially if she's had a few (mobile plus drunken person = bad combo IME).

lou - are you poorly? Sorry to hear that. Hope you're getting plenty rest. I'm sure that mechanic will be more than up to sorting stuff for you and helping out.

scl - really, really sorry to hear about your friend. It's her mum so even if it's 'expected' it's still a terrible shock isn't it. How is she bearing up?

Now then maybe you lot can give me a good talking to I've been asked out by an attractive man on POF. No immediate signs of being a loser. Sporty, intelligent, decent job. So why do I feel all apathetic and meh? And a bit not good enough?

OP posts:
Janos · 14/01/2010 20:37

Aaargh juicy of course I mean kidnap HER.

God, why am I so freaked out by the idea of just going on a plain old date? Gaahhhh!

OP posts:
Monty100 · 14/01/2010 20:40

SCL - sorry for your friend.

Ninah - lol at Boy George stylee 'chink'

Belle - so you're seeing your friend sat am, Sailor later on, and then taking your mum to the pics. . That should take your mind off things for one day anyway! Hope work's ok tomorrow.

Lou - your ex is something else.

Hi to everyone else.

All quiet tonight. Messed up dinner, took some homemade curry out of the freezer this morning, cooked the rice earlier, and then realised the 'curry' was the meat base for a cottage pie. Grr

I thought of another 80s icon which of course is the late Mr Jackson??

Monty100 · 14/01/2010 20:42

Missed your post there Janos. Get the slap on and get out with that man! You aren't allowed 'meh'. Have you got a name for him?

Janos · 14/01/2010 20:54

Monty

I have realised that I am actually scared..yes, SCARED to go on a date. How sad is that?

I don't know whether it's because I've turned into a majot commitment phobe or what. Never used to be like this, was always up for it and full of energy for this kinda thing.

OP posts:
Remotew · 14/01/2010 21:00

Janos, an attractive man from POF? you must go out with him.

Just go with a don't care attitude and you might be surprised, if not then you didn't care anyway.

Monty100 · 14/01/2010 21:03

Janos - he might be really lovely though. And its an excuse to get your glad rags on, it'll cheer you up.

Janos · 14/01/2010 21:07

Ok...I'll give it a go.

I think I still have glad rags, somewhere. Can't remember the last time I got really dressed up. I've forgotten how!
