Where have all the fit, interesting and available men gone (pt 17)

[Remotew]

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.

It's still very quiet on here ;) hope that means you are all having a good weekend

I've been chatting via text with one bloke, gave my number to a different irish bloke fri and he said he was gonna ring over weekend was a bit dubious but got a text today to say he will ring me later so we'll see. Hope the accent is nice

Had a few valentines messages today but not the same as a real card or roses but didn't expect anything anyway.

Been busy DIY shopping and popped into Morrisons and got the Valentines day dinner for two for DD and I. lol

Salesman has resurfaced, meeting him after work next week as I'm off for a few days after and going for a meal.

nice one eve, some of those meal deals are too good to waste!
my nm/exm whatever did flowers and card but it made me feel uncomfortable and I have not bought him anything, feel v meh about the sea of red tat everywhere

ninah, hope you accepted graciously then changed the subject. The cheapo meal deal was very nice. Half way down the bottle of pinot now!

betty - we like the irish ones.. they are good fun.. had a couple of them on this thread. they make for an interesting date.

ninah - oooh. so is he nm again?

eve - glad you have date with salesman. dont write it off yet. he's obviously just a busy guy but likes making time for you when he can

everyone else. hope you had good wkd no matter what you got up to.

i've been busy with a paper due in. it's almost all typed up and then hopefully be sneding it off in next few days.

no valentines for me yesterday... but... forces did a little something to make it feel a bit special on the day and says he has something for me. which he was going to send but it wouldn't have reached in time. so asked if i wanted it send or just wait till i go over. said he can wait as i want to receive it in person.. and he refuses to tell me what it is as i told him i liked suprises. he says i'm not even getting a hint incase i guess right and spoil suprise. or guess wrong and get disappointed.

hello all!
juicy how did the sushi sess go?did the girls appreciate it!
am also downright nosey curious to find out what this pressie is!
any idea of when you're next meeting up?
lol @ eve and your valentines dinner deal..never done one of those are they any good?have to admit that only one bottle of vino wouldn't even touch the sides tho,don't suppose they can let you have another instead of the pud?
agreed tho that i'm glad to see the back of the vast array of overpriced red tat and all those nauseatingly sick grey bear cards..ugghh!
dp came over late on sat so it was full english brunch with the kids yesterday before he went back to work
no hideous tat thankfully but some lovely flowers
betty any news from either of these new prospects as yet?
oh yes scl eww @ john and toni terry
let's hope she makes his life a frigging misery
and i see ashley cole has been at it again as well as vernon kay
jesus what is it with these men

asbm - yeah. sushi was good. pic on my facebook of my finished produce.

no idea when meeting. i'm finally finished paper. but he's off on monday for 2 weeks. will see what his rota looks like and if dc dad is here to take kids when he gets back to germany in few weeks. he's here for easter anyway. so be then at latest.

ASBM, I was OK with just the one bottle as it was only me drinking it.

Had a productive day off work yesterday. Decorated DD's bedroom. It was a joint effort. Always feel good when I've got my arse into gear to do something.

Seeing Salesman tomorrow.

Been in touch with Lou, everything's going very well with her.

Hi all

asbm-not really anything happening, still chatting to a few blokes , no phonecall from irish bloke yet but did text me so we'll see. Glad u had a nice wkend

Juice-The sushi looked great! And ooh to suprise pressie

Eve-Hope u have fun with the salesman, I really need to be more motivated and get some stuff done today!

juicy i guess that in a sense it's a good job he's not around to distract you whilst you have your papers to do
lol @ eve
it's great to be in a productive mood think i'm the world's worst for having to be in the right mood for doing house projects,saying that i'm planning to tackle my junk room cellar which will entail several trips to the tip
expecting to find some of exh stuff tat so maybe a trip to the charity shop too or flog it at a car boot
where you offskies to with salesman?
glad lou's ok meant to ask you if you'd been in touch
btw i heard from holly the other day,she's doing fine,setting up her own biz and finishing her masters degree.her and fittie remain mates as she decided that he wasn't right for her anyway
betty all sounds positive,which one of them do you prefer or are you keeping your options open atm

asbm - i was really far behind because of messing around with irish .... glad i managed to pull it back on time.

eve -enjoy your date

asbm - i'm doing a spring clean. but i do a wee bit every day. as cant keep kids in house 24/7 for the few days it would take to do it all at once. so house is in permanent state of chaos for past few weeks.

asbm-I'm def keeping my options open at the mo not even sure I want a date after all that with mrjack but we'll see. have been chatting to someone else on msn today (I know slaps self for doing msn again) he seems nice so that's 3 potentials lol all are local enough to meet.

juice-glad u've managed to get back on track with ur studies!

Well we've just done pancakes here so kid are happy

lol @ betty
pancakes are for our pudding tonight must make batter in a bit
dp is round later so i'll let him cook them with the kids

well kids had theirs for pudding at lunchtime, aww that will be nice ur dp making them with kids.

Have been texting bloke1 for a few days now I'll call him caveman (cos of one of his pics on pof)ha ha, and he's suggested meeting so looks like I might have a date soon

lol at grey bear cards
I'm too lazy to do pancakes luckily my dc not keen
ing asbm's house doctor head, I need some, half term's flying by and I have been shockingly unproductive - as you say, just not in the mood
feeling a bit meh, nm is acting as if he is in fact nm again and I am letting him
as you say eve I accepted flowers graciously but with no intention of reciprocating I couldn't help feel a bit of a cow
he has also looked after dc for me
good luck for those with dates, salesman and, er caveman - was he waving his club betty?

I have a date at the weekend! friend of friend, blind date eeeek

Ninah, have you seen a photo or is it properly blind?

I have seen a photo and he is nice looking
you know what, just arranging a date has made me feel sooo much better, didn't realise how much my current situation has been getting me down
he has not seen a photo of me though!
I am feeling three quarters excited and a quarter terrified

lol @terrified. at least you have some feeling other than the "meh" thats been going on here recently.

my charming dc dad has decided he's going to thai with np when forces is due to be here on leave over easter. bugger bugger bugger. but he's said as he will be away indefinate for me to get my arse away once. if not twice before he goes :D

thinking once to go see forces. another time taking dd to eurodisney if i can get a deal on it. ds has been to eurodisney. and taking 2 toddlers on my own would be a bit of a nightmare.

but.. where's lou - she can answer this... dc dad doesn't think he needs a visa as he's italian ... i'm pretty sure he does? and do you think he will get it within the 5 weeks before he's due to be there?

Oooh nina blind date!

Juice-Shame about exh buggering off at easter! Hope u manange to sort something out to see forces, or that exh cant go lol

hi all, haven't been on here for what seems like ages (but in reality about a week! lol) nothing exciting to report from spongeworld, no dates on the horizon, and didnt get anything at all for valentines (which wasnt a surprise, even though every year I think I might get something but never do!).

hope you are all having more luck than me!

ninah - good luck for the blind date! quite exciting really, at least you know what he looks like.

juice - hope you get something sorted so you can see forces guy. I'm no expert re visas etc but I suspect 5 weeks may not be long enough.....which I guess would at least solve that problem if your Ex couldn't go after all.

eve - have you managed to see salesman this week?

betty - how are you getting on - do the guys you're chatting to have any date potential? good on you for keeping your mind off mrjack as well

to all the london ladies (kdk, scl, monty, wg, and anyone else I have forgotten) are we still on for meeting up sometime soon? Was a Thursday best for everyone? I can do Thurs, but it would depend on times as I dont get back to London till 8ish....

thanks sponge! fairly old photo tho - still if he has ballooned and balded I can do a sharp exit cos he hasn't a clue what I look like! still haven't arranged venue, and only a couple of texts
meanwhile I am feeling horrible about nm/ex whatever. We've had the chat several times and agreed there is no future but I don't think he's been listening. I like him, and don't know how to tell him about date. Both our previous relationships broke up when we were left for other people. I am feeling guilty
juicy what a shame about ex, but it does mean you get to meet forces sooner?! what if you have the two hols and then he fails to get visa so you have easter too or is that being greedy lol, (shows my immoral state of mind atm)

ninah - nowt to feel guilty about. and you dont have to tell him about date. you have stated your position. only option will be to cut contact completely if you dont think he's getting the hint.

to everyone else who is probably just lurking still.

oh and ninah - fab idea.. never thought. i'm def gonna get my trips away and maybe even easter too.lol.

just realised my passport expires in few weeks. damn. gonna send it away today. and hope it gets back for early march same time as forces dude back to base, or i wont be going anywhere.

ex says he called thai embassy and his home country embassy and both say he doesn't need a visa of any sort aparently.

so looks like he's def off now.

Thanks juicy that makes me feel a bit better
You can send passport away via post office for a small fee, they check it and make sure you have done everything you should, I'd def recommend if you need in a hurry as nothing worse than getting it returned cos your signature is a mm too big or something (what a hassle)
did you and ex get passports at the same time? if so he will be in same position
