Anyway, night all - am off to bed now - hoping to go to Pilates tomorrow morning if I can persuade my mother to mind the kids for an hour - damn school holidays!

Sweet dreams everyone!

Monty100 · 01/04/2010 22:47

Kdk - NN.

Me 4 days off work with two teenage dcs.

Monty100 · 01/04/2010 22:51

Actually I take the back.

Got in from work dd had cleaned the kitchen (to my standards lol) and ds is being fine. They've had takeaway food (from dp). Dp is upstairs watching football resting, I'm having a beer, it's quite peaceful actually.

But I hope Jack doesn't die!!!

Lolololol

Monty100 · 01/04/2010 23:57

Square - which area? Dating?

cake4ever · 02/04/2010 08:40

Morning everyone. Again, so much to catch up on with you lot!

TheSouthsBelle - nothing to lose with the farmer, he sounds pretty smitten. Sounds like you've got others in the wings aswell - good for you and I hope Marine works out for you. Why is it always the ones you like that seem to remain the "just friends" ones?

Hate - your xh sounds uncannilly like mine. I know exactly how you feel, especially the feeling sick thing. I've had that so many times. In my case, the threats were mostly hot air but I was still scared by them. He doesn't sound like he's in any position to buy you out and he certainly can't take the kids if one of them isn't his bio dad and he doesn't have parental responsibility for the other. Just hold onto that thought! He is just posturing.

Juice - is Forces still coming up today? I really hope you get things sorted one way or the other.

kdk - agree with the others - run run run for the hills! You can do so much better.

Lou - awww to the mechanic and the new mattress - you are one lucky lady and you deserve it with an arse of an xh like that.

Eve - wishing you well with your minor op.

I've got a feeling I've missed someone so waves to everyone and wishing you all a lovely, peaceful easter weekend.

ninah · 02/04/2010 09:05

hate ex can't take dc, he is enjoying winding you up because he is powerless in the situation
but it sounds like living in the same house will be increasingly difficult esp once you stop working away so much
you may well feel reassured by an hour's legal advice with a letter you can show him if pressed?
hi to everyone else
kdk agree about blokey, maybe a date but 3 wives 6 dc who is he bluebeard?
juicy hope forces shows up so at least you can respect him

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 02/04/2010 12:08

morning all.

forces is up tonight. but i didn't think i would have kids free night till sat.

had food poisoning last night.

so kids are away early.

but still not seeing him till tomorrow.

Monty100 · 02/04/2010 12:35

Juice - hope you're feeling better. Good luck with tomorrow.

Betty79 · 02/04/2010 12:40

Aww juice sorry to hear ur not well, re forces my exh is in the forces and joined when he was 16, i think they dont live in the real world, well exh certainly didnt. So find it difficult to do all those normal things sometimes. Hope you get the answers you want from him tho

My date went ok last night, he was sweet but a bit geeky lol has alreay asked to see me again next week not sure if i'll go or not. Possibly seeing trucker tonight but we'll see, could do with a night doing not much as i'm off out tommorow night with my mate, and hairdressers/shopping in day too missing my babies tho

SingleMum01 · 02/04/2010 12:56

Juice - hope everything goes okay with forces and you're feeling better.

Betty - get you and your social life, you lucky devil!

Older bloke wants to go for an indian tomorrow. Texts seem to be increasing too

Monty100 · 02/04/2010 13:20

Eve- I forgot to say hope op goes ok.

Betty - I know its hard missing dcs, but make the most of it!! You deserve the break.

SMo1 - How do you feel about him?

Now, I've posted a thread in Secondary Education if anyone can have a look.

SingleMum01 · 02/04/2010 13:25

Monty - I enjoy being with him, we laugh, chat and generally have a good time. Think he's quite fanciable and like him as a person. I guess I'm just trying not to fall for him as its still early days and I've been through crap before

Monty100 · 02/04/2010 13:50

SM - Sounds good!

I'm in an out of here today, laundry and stuff calls.

Will be going food shopping soon just to get out of the house.

Ninah - when is your Ireland trip?

It's pouring and gloomy here.

SingleMum01 · 02/04/2010 14:00

We're just having a chill day, chucking it down outside, DS still in pj's! Wii on!

Remotew · 02/04/2010 14:08

Juice, what about your coffee date, are you going? Good luck with Forces.

Hatesponge, don't panic, certainly about him taking the DC's. You are doing the right thing sorting working closer to home etc.

Kdk, I would have said give him a ring and find out more but if he's a dirty smoker then nooooooooooooooooooooooooooway. (Hides ashtray).

Waving to everyone else. I am shattered. My quiet R&R holiday went pear shaped yesterday. Cut a long story short, workmates gave me no choice but to go out with them last night. Ended up getting to bed at 4 this morning after jigging away in a cheesy nightclub. Slept at a mates.

Need a nickname for younger man. 'Athletic' for various reasons. I picked him up from work town on my way home after he text me to see what I was doing, just after I'd agreed to go with workmates! He's coming round tonight instead.

Saleman has resurfaced. Caught up with me this morning after 3 missed calls. Wants to meet up for a drink. Told him I would but not this weekend.

I'm in a go for it mood so waving to everyone else and encouraging you all to get out on those dates.

Remotew · 02/04/2010 14:11

Gosh you've been chatty whilst I've been composing my post. Thanks for regards re little OP. On the brightside I only have 2 days to work next week. Told salesman I was going to outpatients but didn't tell him why. He said to let him know if I need anything. Sweet!

Betty79 · 02/04/2010 15:09

eve-so ur back in the dating game then do u think you will see salesman then?

sm01-ur olderman sounds nice know what u mean about tryin not to fall for him

sponge-ur ex sounds horrible, cant imagine how hard it must be part living together, as ninah said why not go get some legal advice re the children.

monty-im doing houswork here today too but want to get it all done so i can go out without worrying about it tommorow!

hello to everyone else might have to have a tea and creme egg break lol

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 02/04/2010 16:00

eve - loving the sound of your wkd.

betty - so have you spoke to your date today.

i'e had a sleep, and kept some toast down.

feeling like it would be a complete waste of a friday night since dc are at their dads for a rare friday .. as i'm unwell.

so going to my coffee date.

bless him he was really good about being cancelled and is up for meeting still and do something really low key and understands i wont be my best.

forces is in edi... but heading to pub. aparently he would really really like me to go to pub to join him... but wont consider coming here... this makes me go and and [stick 2 fingers up emoticon]

last night he was saying if i was still ill he would come through tonight and make sure i'm ok.

i've now gone from wanting it to work. to be rather pissed off at him.

nanyway. off for a bath. need to go see my random date asap as i'm ready as he's waiting for me to call and he'll set out to meet me.

Betty79 · 02/04/2010 16:55

Juice-no havent spoke to date, no text either but then maybe he was waiting for me to text him? lol anyway am going trucker's for an indian tonight. Hope your coffee date goes well, and hope u feel better soon

I've been cleaning all day and still havent got dressed

lou33 · 02/04/2010 17:12

afternoon everyone

pirate, the last serious relationship i had before mechanic ended in april 07, the rest have all been rather short term for various reasons

thanks cake for your kind words

today has been productive, up early (for me when i dont have to anyway) at 8, walked the dogs, two trips to the dump, washed up, a trip to a massive camping store to look at tents for the summer (bf has persuaded me to do it ), and now he is hosing down where the stuff taken to the dump was mouldering away

Remotew · 02/04/2010 18:52

Betty, trucker got round to making a date then? Wasn't he being elusive about the next date. Hope you have fun.

Probably will meet up with Salesman again, will be just as mates .

I'm still waiting for Athletic to come round. I did say 6 and no show so far, hey it's been a while since I've been stood up. I'm just relaxing tonight so no biggie if he is enjoying himself too much at the pub to come here. A text would be nice though.

Lou, I've still got my friends tent which I can make use of. I'm going for a couple of nights with mates from work end May then doing the festival again. Kids will love the camping as well as you both. Did you get a tent? What size?
