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.

Sorry to hear things didn't go well. Agree about talking to DD and only emergencies rule. It is not on to do that, you are her mother but also have the right to some privacy.

Just a brief hello to everyone as for some reason this week I am just knackered. Well, more so than usual so been in bed by nine every night. And me with only one too, lightweight eh.

Think it has something to do with starting mediation with XP, urgh, urgh, urgh.

My date for Fri seems to have gone awol but tbh that suits me fine as the way I am now I'd rather come home from work on my own and have an early night.

Damn Janos, oh well like you say you have enough going on atm. Hope it goes well with XP.

Thanks for the reassurance guys. I do need another talk with her along those lines. When she was younger I tried to include her as much as possible and she usually played up at first then when she got used to them was fine. Now she is older and I can go out I try and keep them apart and she feels left out. We are close and she likes spending time with me.

Looking back on today I think I was a bit pissed because he has plans all weekend which involve going out on the town with his mates. TBH I've grown out of all that so felt a bit put off that he would prefer it than seeing me.

Melted you are young, your DC is young and I know how it feels when everyone seems to be together, you are allowed to feel alone but you arn't. Plenty of other people in the same boat.

Janos, sorry to hear the mediation is taking its toll , Hope things to look a bit brighter as it progresses.

Janos · 20/01/2010 21:20

Aw thanks. That was a bit of a selfish post.

Thanks mongolia and eve, much appreciated. Sorry your date with salesman was not a success eve. I have no experience of teenagers but the way DS is going I can see him being a real handful that way tbh. Good luck to you sorting that.

Sorry I am not my usual bright self everyone just very drained but hope you are all ok and doing well, having fun on dates etc and those in relationships still having a lovely time of it

kdk · 20/01/2010 21:37

Janos - sending you hugs - we all have up days and down days so nothing to apologise for. Hope you're feeling better soon and that things go ok with the mediation and that your ex doesn't cause too many problems.

I know I whinge sometimes about never getting a break from the DTs but on the other hand I am incredibly thankful that I don't have to deal with my f*ckwit of an ex (well, except for the odd phone call). No money, no support but no hassle either.

hatesponge · 20/01/2010 21:38

ooh, kdk/piratecat Im here im here!

will go back and read thread properly, but just saw my name mentioned...am feeling ever so important now lol!

Mongolia · 20/01/2010 21:41

we all have been waiting for you Piratecat was looking for you sponge!

Mongolia · 20/01/2010 21:42

Sending you good vibes from here Janos, have a good sleep but come back if you need to distract yourself from whatever is going on with ex at the moment.

kdk · 20/01/2010 21:44

Don't worry sponge - no pressure - just me and piratecat are desperate not in the least bit bothered to find out about these emails from match!

I sent you a friend invite on fb but have heard nada so far!

piratecat · 20/01/2010 21:47

thank GOD (pants and splutters!!)

hatesponge · 20/01/2010 21:50

kdk - I checked FB but nothing on there...can you send it again? Or I will add you if you have a non 'name' email address? Dont worry, by hook or by crook I will pass on these details!

and where is piratecat????

Am loving my status as thread matchmaker

piratecat · 20/01/2010 21:51

i'm behind you!!!

piratecat · 20/01/2010 21:52

how do we go about this?

hatesponge · 20/01/2010 21:58

piratecat - i suggest with you we take the same tried and successful approach as with kdk - firstly though are you on POF or something? As can either tell him to find you on there or somewhere similar - for which I will need your match name, name on other site and of course his name

alternatively if you want me to pass on your email addy or something, will need that as well

if any of this info is stuff you dont want to put on thread, search for me on FB (if you have it) under email [email protected]
I cant use that address for email (forgot password, account now locked/defunct) as otherwise I would just tell you to email me which would be easier!

meltedchocolate · 20/01/2010 22:00

Thanks eve

kdk · 20/01/2010 22:00

hatesponge · 20/01/2010 22:11

kdk - you have mail

piratecat - can I find you on POF without actually joining up? I know am prob only one on this thread who has never been on POF lol!

will try and look anyway pending your reply

kdk · 20/01/2010 22:14

Cheers sponge - got your message - off to bed now as knackered and got college tomorrow (not done any of my assignment that i've got to hand a first draft of in tomorrow but that's normal!) so will do the email stuff tomorrow night.

piratecat · 20/01/2010 22:15

hiya, oh i didn't realise!!!

i used to have a fb page shall i reactivate it?

hatesponge · 20/01/2010 22:21

piratecat - everyone has seen my match profile so I have no objection to you seeing my FB page as well (nor anyone else, should they want to add me as a friend on FB... especially as am one down after the mean builder deleted me yesterday!) so if you can reactivate pls do!

lou33 · 20/01/2010 22:21

are we all knackered?

mechanic came down, had dinner and got half way through a film with me and the kids then fell asleep!

i am overly tired, i think because as usual the first day of my period makes me feel washed out, and i have been trying to declutter my bedroom

so i am off to bed too

oh but we did discuss at some point if i moved to a bigger place if he would be moving in with us all.......

night

piratecat · 20/01/2010 22:30
