Has no-one beaten me to it yet?

Juicy sounding good.

WG old friend is worth seeing again.

Second not to arrange a meet up without me. Maybe down south in May.

Just snuck on his laptop from the hotel room in Dubai, loads to catch up on!

Thanks for advice on location DMJ and pirate,
next time it'll be a short drive-time only.
Going home day after tomorrow, can't wait to see the back of the miserable twunt. Oh what an idiot I've been.

piratecat · 21/01/2010 07:02

Fed up today at work so sneaking this in. Sparky what is your thread called?

Look on the bright side at least you are in Dubai. Bet it's lovely and hot. I would do anything to be there atm. Have a friend lives there. Mental note to self to go visit for my next holiday.

Sparky, I've just had a quick scan. OMG I feel for you and reckon I know someone very similar, although I wasn't in a sexual relationship with him I did go abroad to a place I always wanted to return recently. I paid for mine and DD's flights, shared accommodation expenses and took spending money and he acted like a total twunt the whole time.

When we got back he started saying but it cost me this and that. I've refused to speak to him since we landed but he is still trying to force me to remain in contact.

Please blank him out of your life when you get back. Try and keep out of his way and enjoy the sunshine. Next time someone rushes in with diamonds and plane tickets be very wary. I'm a grown woman not much younger than yourself and still got a shock by my male 'friends' aboutturn and I've known him a long time. So don't be too hard on yourself. Agree keep the diamonds and sell them. How old is your DD?

Well Lou that's great to know that it is heading in the right direction. We all say we would never live with anyone but if you meet someone who is really right then of course you want the full works. It's hard to imagine until the right one does come along and it slots into place. Also good to know that there is no rush. Do it in your own time.

You can both take your time to find a place that suits and you can make sure that if, heaven forbid, it didn't work out you are still in a good place. IYSWIM

Morning ladies

Lou I think I need to congatulate you? You are moving in with a man is that correct or have I picked it all up wrong?

lou33 · 21/01/2010 11:13

he will move in with us, but not just yet

but yes i guess so

sparkybint · 21/01/2010 11:16

AboutEve that makes interesting reading and I feel a whole lot better! Can't wait to get home now and see my beautiful DD.

That's wonderful Lou that moving in is on the cards at some stage. And you're being very sensible taking your time over it unlike me who was going to rush it and then look what happened!

meltedchocolate · 21/01/2010 11:24

Bet I can beat you all. Married after 6 months and baby born 4 months after that..... yup.... I win on the stupidity factor oh no wait, should that be tears or anger at myself? Ach I will have both!
