have just sent casual text asking about his week. he replied straight away so I guess thats a good sign. I can't stand this not knowing if he likes me or not! We seem to get on really well, but I find it odd that he hasn't given me a compliment yet so I don't really know how he feels.

kdk · 02/03/2010 21:25

Twunt who's been on the Eurostar (remember him?) has just tried IMing me saying if I choose him 'how about a trip to the South of france by Private Jet and Helicopter Transfer?'

Mmmm, let me think, how about you take a trip back to fantasyland you sad git ... or maybe I should tell him he's on .... but will have to include the kids and my mum!

Why do I always attract the ones with only a nodding acquaintance with sanity/good looks/ intelligence?

hatesponge · 02/03/2010 21:41

hi everyone!

felt very popular to find lots of friend requests on FB (which I have of course now accepted!)thank you all sadly you will now be subjected to the sight of many truly horrible photos of me and my daily update witterings....!

juice - exciting news re Forces! are you counting down the days yet?!

betty - am impressed with all these men.hope the bowling goes ok tomorrow..where are you finding them all? match is like a desert at present, not even a mirage on the horizon!

belle - hows the training going? and whats this about foot fetish?

ninah - good news re nm...even though you would prefer more hair

had a really good day at work today, had some quite interesting but top secret news, am finding it a huge effort not to tell my close work friends! I have a progress meeting with my boss first thing so it might end up being not such a good day tomorrow. hopefully not though - work going fairly well is distracting me from the total lack of men on the horizon

condifencecrisis · 02/03/2010 21:48

singlemum - yeah, i reckon its good that hes replied to quickly. Im with you on the whole not knowing how they feel thing. its bloody difficult isnt it! Has he set up another date?

finally he called me he was walking home from work after working for 12 hours. he worked 14 yesterday and was totally knackered. He has a very important deadline that is tomrrow, which he has been talking about for a few weeks. He said hes looking forward to tomorrow, although there is a very very small chance he wont be able to make it depening on how the meeting/deadline goes. but he said if he cant make it, we will do something on the weekend. I know this isnt bs as hes got a very important job, so.........
and he said that saturday he actaully went back to bed in the afternoon and slept till 8pm. Sounds like hes working really hard at the momment.
had a nice conversation, 45 mins ish.

Betty79 · 02/03/2010 22:10

sponge-think ive just added u on fb, and btw we have the same birthday

as for these men, they have been off pof and smooch. Have not done the paid sites really, cos I dont think Wiganers wud pay for dating sites lol

cc and singlemum-glad u have both heard from ur men, hope it continues

Remotew · 02/03/2010 22:29

Hatesponge, I'll add you on fb once you appear on Betty's list.

hatesponge · 02/03/2010 22:40

betty - have accepted how cool that we have the same birthday...even if you are much younger than me, lol!

eve...you should now see me on betty's list.

is quite exciting actually 'seeing' you all iykwim...or is that just me being sad?!

one of my friends has just posted lots of old uni photos of me, cant believe how young I look (nor indeed how thin I was....yet I never thought so at the time! )

pinksmarties · 03/03/2010 00:08

Kdk that's so funny. Just a thought but maybe it's true and he's hugely wealthy with property all over the world and maybe he's quite attractive but just not in that photo.

He seems to like you, how about humouring him a bit, you never know......

You're probably right though. At least you're getting emails though.
I paid £60 for 3 months and aren't even attracting the nutters anymore FFS it's SO demorolizing.

And another thing, tomorow I must remember to move this bowl of easter eggs away from the computer as I'm going to end up like that poor mum in "what's eating Gilbert Grape"

Nite

lou33 · 03/03/2010 09:22

Hi everyone. I am lost wrt to what is going on. Who can give me a brief summary? Hope everyone is well and happy. Things are still going great with myself and the mechanic. We are all very happy including the kids. He is coming with me to a family do on sat and has booked time off to do the school run for me when I am in hospital as well, how lovely is that? Am sorting from my phone so wont be on very much so excuse any slack replies. Now what is the gossip?

lou33 · 03/03/2010 09:41

I mean posting not sorting lol

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 03/03/2010 09:44

em.... its quite hard to summaris now.

i might get it wrong. but i'll give it abash

confidence crises and singlemum01 - both been on few dates with someone. but the amount of contact is a bit for them.

eve - sales won an award for being a prick (cant remember name of the award)... and wont mention him being a candidate for little blue pills.

belle - has finally given gb the heave ho and no back on sights. talking to a dude from manchester with a foot fetish.

betty - has 3 in contact. think she prefers truckers. think there is possibly a date with trucker. there was offers of dates from other 2. but i think she is declining (is that right???)

pink smarties - having a nosey at website. but i do believe she is enjoying thinking about feeding johnny depp chocolate too much to be arsed contacting anyone on sites.

hatesponge/kdk/monty/scl - are going round and round in circles trying to arange a london meet up.

asbm - she's stil i assume.

ninah - was supposed to meet thai farmer for date. but he developed broken finger syndrome mid way through arranging the details of the date ... odd. and she's still for n/ex doing her diy

me - got flights booked for next wkd to go to germany to see forces dude. and his leave has been confirmed for end of the month to come over here.

I polished off a bag of mini chocolate eggs yesterday, don't know what came over me.

Good summary Juice.

Welcome back Lou, we missed you.

lou33 · 03/03/2010 09:54

Am still lost lol. Who is forces dude? Who is sales? I feel like I have been lost in the wilderness but well done belle :-)

aseriouslyblondemoment · 03/03/2010 10:01

yep i am still re:dp
but am also v as ds1 has not been allocated his 1st choice school place
so will have to go down the appeals route
jesus as if being a lp isn't hard enough

good to see ninah and chappie resurrecting their relationship...about bloody time lol

Remotew · 03/03/2010 10:02

Sales is Salesman, old friend I bumped into in December. Had a few dates with him. Was a bit of a flop in that dept, then told me one morning that he had other 'girl mates' (what with?) so I told him I had other 'boy mates' stormed out an havent spoken to him since.

Forces dude is is a guy Juicy met and stayed in a lovely hotel with, think she tripped over her trousers, then he went abroad and she has been waiting for her passport to have a weekend with him which has just been arranged. Juicy can correct me.

I met a cutey on Saturday night on a rare night out, ridiculously younger, nothing happened but he was up for it, IYSWIM, which has made me feel a little better about myself, after Salesman. Won't be seeing young man again though. I'm not on any sites whatsoever, not even Zoosk. Will still hang around here though.

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 03/03/2010 11:06

eve - ... very close. tripped over my bra .
he's a kiwi. based in germany for scottish regiments. its confusing, who spends his leave in edi in lush hotels. i've got flight to go to germany next wkd.

asbm - appeals sound a bundle of joy

OP posts:
DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 03/03/2010 11:07

singlemum - still haven't told us why and how you hid from work colleagues

OP posts:
aseriouslyblondemoment · 03/03/2010 11:16

oh yeah a right bundle NOT
haven't told exh yet as he's out of the country atm and ds1 won't hear til fri as he's away on a school trip
exh def not coming with me as you can just imagine that he'll lose it big time can't you?
so yes more crappola to wade thru for me
anyhow where are you staying in germany?
is it another lush hotel?
and yes sm01 i wondered why you hid when you saw your work colleague?!

lou33 · 03/03/2010 13:42

Ooh that sounds good juice. Are irish and beach off the scene now? Eve sorry he turned out to be a nob. This posting from my phone sucks huge ones but hi to everyone. I cant give any exciting updates as we seem to have settled into the kind of relationship of a couple who has been together years not months lol, but its great. Not one tiny niggle

SingleMum01 · 03/03/2010 14:21

hi all, no he hasn't asked/set up another date. Finished his last text by 'catch you later'. See if he texts me again, I've decided not to text him. Must say doesn't look good as we've usually arranged one by now, but he did text me back straight away, so who knows

I 'hid' from work colleagues because they don't know I've been dating. I'm quite a private person and couldn't be doing with the gossip when I went back to work. Maybe that was an issue for him!

Remotew · 03/03/2010 14:41

Lou, well that's nice even keel, sure you will have news now and again. You can do the same as ASBM who doesn't say much about her DP (keeps it all close to her chest) but we know it's still blissful, but she still gives the singletons advise.

Salesman wasn't a nob as such, he was just brutally honest and I wasn't prepared to be part of his non-committal, multi partner world. I did lol at the thought of him servicing all these women.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 03/03/2010 14:47

do you think his golden turd has taken pride of place on his mantelpiece eve

mrsmharket · 03/03/2010 14:59

hi everyone am glad things going great for you lou33 (i used to be fransmom!)

i too wonder where all the fit, interesting and available men have gone
