How exciting. Maybe I should start doing my hair then for the school run...maybe I should just find a brush.

mrsmharket · 22/03/2010 11:40

he was single when i moved next door but from what i gathered, for about 6mths previous? hard working, did i mention good kisser? friendly not very talkative tho maybe i shoudl let my boots do the tlaking lmao

mrsmharket · 22/03/2010 11:45

talking even

aseriouslyblondemoment · 22/03/2010 12:25

well he obv fancies the boots you so i guess that you can either sit tight and wait for him to do the asking or why not invite him round for dinner one night?

aseriouslyblondemoment · 22/03/2010 12:27

after all he's your neighbour and you're being friendly
i don't usually advocate doing the asking but i think your situ is unique

lou33 · 22/03/2010 16:35

i think i finally have internet sorted but its a bit dodgy atm

but at least i can post from a decent sized screen!

lou33 · 22/03/2010 18:14

Or maybe not since my horrible kids fought over the pc and broke the Fucking mouse

SingleMum01 · 22/03/2010 19:47

Sponge - can he email back if he's not a paid member?

Mrs M - way to go! You should return the favour and ask him round for a snog coffee.

ASBM - don't know, I've said to a couple of friends I'm seeing someone but don't know how it will go. How many dates/months do you have to have before its 'a relationship'!!

And Dolly - yes I've told him its my birthday next week, he asked what day - but being a bloke doubt he'll remember! Although I can remind him again on Thurs!

SingleMum01 · 22/03/2010 19:49

PS - now I've got to decide what to do this Thurs. Meeting a mate for lunch so am tempted to suggest just going for drink?

aseriouslyblondemoment · 22/03/2010 21:04

sm01 can't answer that as such as dp and i kind of just ran with it iyswim albeit he did all the running lol
what would you like to do on your b'day date?
lou i just knew that the kids would be clamouring for t'internet but lovely to have you back on board-tho eve and janos have given us updates

hatesponge · 22/03/2010 21:23

sm01 - am not sure re the whole emailing thing, I think he can email me regardless, but am not going to bother with him any more, as per eve's advice I've emailed him, if he doesnt reply by email, thats that. If he's not a member already, he should join - given what he says he does for a living, I suspect he can afford a month's membership!

mrsm -good for you, agree with asbm - invite him round for dinner (or a coffee at the very least) I've never had a single male neighbour over 18 or under 70 so am quite !

I've been truly pathetic today and google street-viewed someone's house that I really shouldnt be thinking about, let alone googling. someone slap some sense into me, please!

Evening ladies

Welcome back Lou

Just to say that I got back from shopping on Saturday at 4pm no sign of ds so I went down to talk to exh and got him to get on to Parentline to get advice. They advised calling the police, whilst we were waiting DS showed up. (Well, that was going to happen wasn't it). Suffice to say DS is in the doghouse. Exh took Owen to the address where he had been and checked all that, the mum rang me then and apologised profusely. Clearly she was oblivious to the stress. (Tbh I was a bit miffed that she didn't insist ds phoned but there you go). Right, I wan't take any more space on our lighthearted thread talking about this.

I'm lmao at MrsM and the boots. Have you invited him round yet?

SMO1 - you an item now?

Hope everyone else is OK.

LouIsOnAHighwayToHell · 22/03/2010 21:41

Monty - glad to hear that he finally turned up. I hope he realises the error of his ways!

SingleMum01 · 22/03/2010 21:43

DTMS - he asked me to meet him and his mates in town early on - I didn't 'cos I didnt go into town with my mates in the end, but I thought that was promising that he'd told his mates or would be telling them. He also mentioned one of his mates asked him where he was taking me on Sat, so he must have told them. Reckon its time to be angling for a home invite soon though just to check everything out

ASBM - not arranged to have a date on my birthday - yet! Will drop hints on Thurs!

monty - and .. hope he's grounded for life

lou - hello welcome back btw.

to everyone else.

sm01 - cant really upgrade him to bf i would say. he's not date anymore. he's nm if you have been mentionned to friends. but i'd wait till you have seen his house(might be truly minging and you may want to dump him) and done some horizontal dancing before you find out whats going on regarding official titles

aseriouslyblondemoment · 22/03/2010 21:51

monty thank god for that was fuming on your behalf glad exh got his act together for once tho and wtf was that supposed mother thinking of?

SingleMum01 · 22/03/2010 21:53

Hi Monty - I wouldn't say that, ASBM was also asking if he was bf status yet! I reckon its still early days, just enjoying each week as it happens.

DTMSJ - what is nm?

Was just chatting to a mate who's got me thinking, what if he's got a small willy!! Never considered it before but now I think I need to know!!

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 22/03/2010 21:59

nm - means you are seeing each other kinda regular... heading down the road of deciding if you shall be exclusive. once exclusive you are bf/gf

well in my book. lol.

Monty100 · 22/03/2010 22:01

SMO1 - I think Juice might have hit the nail on the head there. lol at minging house.

Thanks everyone for caring. I really mean that. I was thinking about you all yesterday, I really felt I had friends around me.

When I was going out shopping on Saturday, I was just leaving the house and realised my legs were shaking!! So I didn't stay out that long and as I say, came back and went to see exh. The police arranged to come round on Sunday at 12 midday to give him a rollicking, but they came at 11am and I was in the shower and they didn't come back. They'll probably follow it up though. But thanks again.

He's immersed in course work at the minute. He's doing GCSE Statistics (it's a new maths thing and it's a year early). Little *.

lou33 · 22/03/2010 22:24
