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.

Never made it quite as far up as Goodge St in a lunch hour!
Greenwich market, yes but ages ago - used to live along Portobello that was good on a Friday morning
out here good stuff is less commmon, but if you do find something chances are you may be the first to see its potential. My fav shop is on an unpromising looking arcade of shops just outside a relatively affluent area
Used to haunt car boots round Kilburn/West Hampstead, not sure what they are like these days, seemed to be increase in stalls of new and knock off stuff and less what ex called 'tutt'

ninah · 09/02/2010 22:54

and have you heard of an all night antiques market in the East End? I heard, meant to find out more but never did

FairyLightsForever · 09/02/2010 23:02

Hello everyone,
there's always such a lot to catch up with!
I finished with the Canadian a couple of weeks ago and am also in the 'really enjoying being single' camp. Not a bad way to be, it means that I won't end up involved with any more idiots! Canadian was ok but had mother issues and I can't be arsed with that.

Glad that you're staying strong, belle

Sorry about Mr jack, betty

didn't see your thread juicey, but as everyone has said, you are obviously one sorted lady!
I would definately be up for a night out in Edinburgh... can't go further afield because I have to be back for when Dd wakes at 5 in the morning no wonder I don't really have the energy for dating!

Hello to everyone else... I have my brother and his wife up for the Valentine's weekend and they are sickly and lovey dovey at the best of times, so that will be nice...

thesouthsbelle · 10/02/2010 00:28

ah hate it's not gymboy is it!?!? lol.

ok caved am shite. even shiter now. can't wait till I get my new phone tomorrow. even now he won't give me a direct answer not even to say a final goodbye - so I said it for him.

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 10/02/2010 08:45

fairy - we should grab janos and sort something. edinburgh isn't a problem for me. and since janos lives there it wont be problem for her i'd doubt.

i'm bursy with an exam paper due within a fortnight. how about we arrange something for march if that suits janos

belle

Betty79 · 10/02/2010 18:30

fairy-thanks, sorry to hear things ended with the canadian but glad you are enjoying being single again

I'm another here not expecting owt for valentines day and am not bothered, didnt really do anything for it when married either lol

kdk · 10/02/2010 19:28

Nother one not expecting anything - and always hated it anyway. Would rather someone bought me a gift/flowers/whatever because he WANTED to and not because he's expected to - just a lot of commercialised crap and something else to make people feel bad/spend money/angst over what they haven't got but feel they ought to ... ok, rant over, carry on with whatever you were doing

ninah · 10/02/2010 19:45

fish
slap

Monty100 · 10/02/2010 19:53

Fish slaps GB.

Twice.

On each cheek.

Janos · 10/02/2010 20:23

Hello hello hello!

I need to go back a bit and catch up but I will say a big fat cheery hello to everyone before doing so.

What's this about a night out in Edinburgh? I'd definitely be up for that.

Another one here expecting nowt for valentines day. Oh, my Mum is coming up....but that's not exactly romantic

My BF in London has met a lovely bloke (about time too I reckon, she's had some real stinkers) but the loved up-ness is getting a teensy bit barf making.

Aw hell, I'm ! Just a bit though cos she deserves all the happiness she can get. We've been friends for more than 20 years and she's seen me through some very rough times.

Other news...DS' baby brother arrived about 10 days ago. He seems fairly non-plussed - I guess babies are not very exciting for 5 year olds. Also continuing mediation with XP which is hard work but worth it in long term.

Well, I hope...

Now, off to catch up.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 10/02/2010 20:37

belle the power to stop this is in your hands fgs
he will only get to you as long as you let him
and without wishing to sound horrible(which i don't)i don't see that sailor is much of an option either
please do yourself a favour and either steer clear of both/all men and cut all ties with them,or get back online and take your time to enjoy yourself and meet someone who treats you with the respect you deserve
this is my final word on them i promise
from now on tho i won't ignore you on here any ref to them will be met with a
apologies for sounding horrid but from what i can see you're your own worst enemy

Janos · 10/02/2010 20:48

Juicy - good luck with that exam paper

scl - you ok? I've done that text thing..wine plus mobile phone is not a good combo is it. I think we have probably been there plenty times..drunk and petulant. Hell I know I have and prob a lot worse!

belle - hope you're ok too and that it really is goodbye this time. I appreciate it's hard to move one..been there myself...but sometimes it's for the best isn't it.

And really thanks loads to everyone who sent kind thoughts my way. I really did appreciate it even if it didn't seem like it at the time. My tenbency with down/depressed is to hide away and that is not always good for me.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 12/02/2010 11:18

blimey it's v.quiet on here!
happy birthday to you

Remotew · 12/02/2010 12:26

It is quiet on here.

Hi to everyone and happy birthday Monty.

Any updates? Be interesting to find out who got anything for Valentines day.

Salesman has gone quiet. Pretty sure he was just in touch because he thought he should be. Doesn't look like he will be asking to see me again.

Nothing else going on.

OP posts:
Betty79 · 12/02/2010 18:49

Nothing going on here, back on pof and smooch as well now, been chatting with a couple of blokes but kindof feeling like i cant be bothered. Still planning to do the speed dating but not sure of date yet. Don't feel like I want to get into that whole waiting for someone to contact me again. I have been chatting to someone with amazing blue eyes on smooch tho so who knows

eve- to salesman!

Happy Birthday Monty!!

Juice-what's been happening with u and forces guy, have u sorted plans to go see him?

belle-hope you are back to ignoring gb

Lou-hope the wedding plans are going well

Janos-glad u are ok

asbm, nina, sponge, kdk, scl, fairy and anyone else I've missed a big hello

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 12/02/2010 19:10

betty - ooooo the ones with amazing blue eyes are good from my experience

forces guy - def not meeting in feb. he's getting sent off somewhere on monday he was told today ... possibly start of march. but it would be very last minute as he wouldn't know his rota till he's back to base in 2 weeks.and flights might be too expensive that way.

Monty100 · 12/02/2010 19:16

Hello everybody, thanks for all your birthday wishes.

ASBM - hope you had that large drink for me, like you need an excuse. Slainte!

Well, we're going for an Indian, not very exciting, but I'm hoping to catch some live music after.

I promise not to come on here full of beans at all hours of the night following much imbibery.

Juice I'm very impressed with that roll call there.

Hope everyone has a good evening. I'd better go and put some 'slap' on. Have a lovely jumper to wear that a friend bought me and there's a present from Al that I haven't opened and I'm sure its boots. (Hope I like them tho. Outfit sorted! (will be wearing leggings too).

Monty100 · 12/02/2010 19:17

Oh Juice, I just saw your last post.

thesouthsbelle · 12/02/2010 20:30

hi all i'm around still floating, ust getting on with things here tbh. have loads going on at the mo in life in general.

ninah · 12/02/2010 21:48

Betty79 · 12/02/2010 21:56

nina-ha ha shoes over man anyday

Well I've given my number to 2 blokes tonight one on pof, one on smooch. Not bothered about anything at mo apart from having some fun, passing some time lol

sincitylover · 13/02/2010 13:33

hi all

haven't been around much work is very busy the moment and weekends are mainly taken up with dcs sport.

Juice you asked about Mr Yorke - I saw him a couple of Fridays ago and he slimed up to me (witnessed by my colleague) and then followed me into another part of the building where he would need to whisper to me (as there was an event going on) this was followed by a text and email but nothing since thank god.

Gardener has stopped texting am quite relieved about that.

Exbf incommunicado atm - that's his pattern.

Must admit am disliking Valentines Day and its cheesy connations but maybe that's because I can't remember ever getting much if anything even when married.

Also bit off topic but reading trashy papers whilst ds2 at football training and couldn't believe the pics of Toni and John Terry 'loved up' in Dubai (vom emoticon).

And I am a Chelsea supporter

ninah · 13/02/2010 13:53

Hi sin
you mean the Terrys are kissing and making up? unbelievable
hope she's had a health check, yuk
thank god I'm not a WAG, what a life
We're having a dressing gown day. Lunch was baked beans followed by choc cake. Was supposed to be a house cleaning but soon lapsed. That's my kind of immoral, cheers!

sincitylover · 13/02/2010 13:55

yes 'we've never been so in love, our marriage is so strong blah blah. Its quite nauseauting
