Evening everyone . Just got back from a knackering day with kids at Gullivers. Is it wine o'clock yet?

Older bloke text me earlier - picking me up usual time tomorrow - oh-er. Must NOT get drunk!

Remotew · 09/04/2010 20:08

Thought about that Betty but decided I was tired and hope he can wait.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 09/04/2010 20:36

Just poured a white wine - cheers ASBM!

Can't get a sitter next sat so am thinking of asking older bloke over for the evening, especially as its his b'day Friday - think maybe I should offer to do food but I'm a crap cook! Any ideas?

aseriouslyblondemoment · 09/04/2010 20:54

what's he been eating when you've been out?

SingleMum01 · 09/04/2010 21:04

we've mainly had indians, although he seems to like fish, lasagne. Maybe I should just order in!

Betty79 · 09/04/2010 21:13

SM01-I would just order in, and get a nice bottle of wine and maybe a dvd. I like cooking but would imagine i'd get flustered if it was for a new bloke.

I'm on the wine too, nice white zinfandel

thesouthsbelle · 09/04/2010 21:15

hi all,

how are we all doing? has much been going on? will mark me spot till DS is away and I can look properly.

not much happening here dating wise - am still on with farmer for tomorrow apparently - but well - I don't want a relationship/to date someone so do I tell him now or after that I only intend to be friends? is it possible to be surprised?

marine - few emails been pinging & messing about, ho hum.

and the best bit about today has been getting a letter from the council ref my dogs barking - apparently someone's complained - haven't knocked on my door to mention it at all - just went straight down that road, and apparently they now have a diary to make a list for the next 3 weeks while I get to be a prisoner in my own home worried about every little noise the dogs/boy make incase it's in the diary, & to be quite honest am upset about the fact i'm now being spied on. If they actually barked all the time I wouldn't mind, but it's when people walk past the front, when the hoover is on or when they want a ball throwing int he garden the rest of the time there's not a peep.

so anyhow what's happening here - who's dating this w.e?

Remotew · 09/04/2010 21:15

SM01, homemade lasagne is nice and I'm no domestic goddess. Or order in.

I'm on red wine again!!! Just spoke to a friend who has been asked out by a much younger man. What is it with these young ones? Think the tide is turning and us single oldies are in vogue atm.

SingleMum01 · 09/04/2010 21:15

Thanks Betty - I'm thinking you're right! What dvd do you reckon? Don't really know what he's into (or even if my DVD player will work as its temperamental!)

Remotew · 09/04/2010 21:19

Belle x post. What a pain for you. We have a dog barking near here but it quietens down at night. Perhaps they had the survey done re the neighbourhood as a plastic police officer knocked on my door last week.

Wouldn't have crossed my mind to mention a dog barking.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 09/04/2010 21:37

surely they're not that bad?
personally i'd get onto council pronto belle and explain your situ and good luck for tomorrow!
sm01 i would def cook tbh as let's face it we all love a home cooked dinner and men are simple creatures lol
eve's suggestion of lasagne is easy enough and you can prep ahead then stick it in the oven when he gets there adding salad and garlic/crusty bread
does he like cooking?
there's always the option of cooking dinn together
as you mentioned indian why not try mexican?
fajitas?
or to prep ahead enchilladas
have lots of tortillas/nachos and beer vino as a starter
btw actually made lasagne for dp the first time i cooked..oh and a full english the next morning
obv.it worked

SingleMum01 · 09/04/2010 21:42

ASBM - sorry eve, didn't see your post. Now I'm in a quandary, I'm such a crap cook I don't know how to do lasagne (unless its a micro one!)

Remotew · 09/04/2010 21:44

Old el paso even. Just cook chicken strips in a wok with peppers, spicies in the pack. Salsa dip. I like to put a picnic blanket down in the lounge, bring the wok in with plates, salad etc. Great fun. Put some cream/soured cream in with it though as it's quite hot.

Lashings of cool white wine. Bob's your Uncle etc...

OMG just got a text from a blast from the past with a wink!

aseriouslyblondemoment · 09/04/2010 21:59

eve's mexican adventure sounds fun
spill about your text lady,no need to be cryptic lol
sm01
no excuses,we'll all supply best 1st cooked meal recipes for you or check out some of the recipes on MN,but def cook for him,a takeaway/ready meal is for further into the relationship lol

Remotew · 09/04/2010 22:08

ASBM probs a round robin, seeing which sucker will reply. I haven't btw.

Damn laptop lead is faulty. Might have to go offline grrr!!

Remotew · 09/04/2010 22:12

Loving the tory tax stuff. Give breaks to marrieds/married parents, including civil marrieds and take it off single parent/cohabiting parents. OK they haven't said it outright but I know what they mean. I know where my cross is going. 2 horse race in this marginal seat to the Lib/Dems. Sorry about bringing politics to the thread. Hope I'm in good company.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 09/04/2010 22:22

tbh eve have decided that this will be the 1st time ever that i don't vote
we've a choc teapot indie here atm and he's done jack shit and was voted in twice by a general apathy i think
disappointed with labour atm and WOULD NEVER vote tory
v.tempted to deface local's in front garden hideous mr whippy smug bigotted tory placard but am trying to think that i'm a respectable role model to the dcs

Remotew · 09/04/2010 22:32

Don't blame you ASBM. Round here I have to vote Lib Dem to keep the Tory out, my vote will count. Saying that the Lib Dem guy is great, we see him in the pub and he knocks on our door and I tend to agree with what he does locally.

Wonder where the London girls are? Must be having a good time.

Betty79 · 09/04/2010 22:56

I cant wait to hear all about the london ladies meet up bet they have had a blast!

sincitylover · 09/04/2010 22:58

ok first one back from meet up.We had a great time- it was fantastic to meet in RL.

All of us are lovely gorgeous women.

I had a really great time.

sincitylover · 09/04/2010 22:59

oh and don't think any of us will be voting Tory!!!

sincitylover · 10/04/2010 08:47

omg was it just me then?

up so early as ds1 is back he seemed to have a good time

SingleMum01 · 10/04/2010 09:13

Morning, not sure if a homemade meal or takeaway will be required next week

Maybe me just being paranoid. Text bloke Thurs 5.30pm, didn't receive a reply until the next morning. Very unusual he usually replies straight away or if its later he usually apologies for the delay and says where he's been. Maybe he has a reason I thought.

Then, he text me yesterday morning to say he would pick me up tonight as normal so I text again last night and again received no reply (although my text didn't warrant a response). Strange, one night and no texts okay, but 2 in a row - seems a bit odd, I have a feeling this is going to go pearshaped on me

We're out tonight so I'll ask him about his week and see what he says. Maybe me being paranoid and he may have a perfectly good reason but its not his usual pattern. Seems to have changed from Wed when he went out with his mates
