yes that was where I left it juicy, your big chat, i thought it sounded promising, what do you know
oh well seems like you've found a good one this time!
lol at belle, I KNEW she'd like farmer
good for you re soh scl
kdk did it and contacted pokerface then?
thanks for that, I am trying to do my own bath to GO OUT! rare event
and i have calmed down now
it's that horrible empty house thing, i'm not really used to it esp at night as it happens so rarely
will be back to mayhem and mess tomorrow no doubt
have decided to talk to nmex and see if we can stay friends or something
btw did i tell you thai farmer emailed me with his pic, and he called while i was away luckily no reception

thesouthsbelle · 10/04/2010 19:18

ooh juicy thanks for the run down.

hang on am I missing something did motorola stop at yours juicy?

(and yes went with farmer wishing he was marine & determined not to have a good time, but actually had a fab time, marine still has the better ass - but well farmer is 6 ft of muscle & a real fit ass!)

thesouthsbelle · 10/04/2010 19:27

singlemum - do you have any of the girls on there yet?

lovin the pics/films btw of the meet up.

ninah · 10/04/2010 19:29

yes is same one
says it all really
and about farmer

ninah · 10/04/2010 19:37

just read a bit more
belle it is horrible re dogs, know how you feel someone wrote to council cos i put up a fence that was 2cm too high at one end
keep calm, they have to respond to stuff obv but if the complaint is unreasonable what can they do?
and sm1 hope your date is going ok after all the stress

lou33 · 10/04/2010 19:40

juice, sounds like something mechanic would do so i would say it could be a good sign

remember how quickly it moved on for us

thesouthsbelle · 10/04/2010 19:41

get rid ninah, unless you're happy with separate lives but together as a 'childless' couple as it were?

well farmer seems to be impressed - even thou my jeans were falling down the baby flabby belly was out, oh and I had no make up on a t all - must try harder next time.

re the dogs - I think it's just now the fact I know someone's spying on me in the house with my dogs - i'm paranoid to let them in the garden and in fact to even shout at the boy or have him being loud - cos what if that all goes in their log? if it was a problem, i'm not unapproachable and tbh would be devastated to think it's upsetting someone so much all they had to do is knock on the door.

ninah · 10/04/2010 19:47

Yes I know it's horrible feeling
Do you have a definitely nice neighbour who you could ask to keep a kind of 'counter log'?

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 10/04/2010 20:16

belle/lou - yes. fri afternoon till this evening. .

ninah - you going to meet thai???

Monty100 · 10/04/2010 21:01

Ninah - Welcome back. 'Oh dear' is all I can say. Aren't they idiots sometimes?

Juice -

Belle - Sounds like you had a great day . (Apart from nuisance neighbours grrr).

SCL - did ds love his trip?

Eve - did you have a nice time at Italian?

I'm trying to convince dd to snapshot the videos and save them as photos. I'ts quite entertaining the stick she is giving me for being an old gimmer.

I did pop to dp's to see progress. OMG what a mess.

thesouthsbelle · 10/04/2010 21:19

old gimmer monty you're a young spring chicken arn't you? lol.

now the question is - do I go to the chinese & get a £3 special thingy or not?!?! hmm.... it means leaving the dogs & going out,

Monty100 · 10/04/2010 21:28

Belle - go get your chinese. Don't let them rule your life. grr. Yes I am a spring chicken still. (and then it sprung lololol)

We're getting our Friday night Indian tonight, I am starving. Have missed quite a few meals this week as I've been seething.

Ninah - I know exactly where you're coming from. I feel I'm putting up with stuff I'm not happy about but still need that bit of support. Dp has his uses . That makes me feel really evil saying that.

pinksmarties · 10/04/2010 22:56

Juice...... what do you mean Pink -nm has met her mum ?

I don't understand.....

MiniMousse · 10/04/2010 23:21

hello can I join in? I am single parent to dd (18 mo) and have been since I got pg. I have not so much as been given a passing glance by a bloke since I got pg, but have decided this is the year I will go on a date. Well, hopefully more than one!
So how do I go about it? How do you lot manage to find the time? I am either at work or looking after dd - all my childcare 'favours' seem to get used up with work related needs, so I don't feel like I can ask family and friends to do extra babysitting on top of that which they already do, if you see what I mean.
And gawd, how do you start feeling confident about your appearance when you haven't had time to put on make up in months and you usually parade about with just a leetle bit of snot somewhere on your shoulder?
Hope you don't mind me butting in to this thread, but have been watching with interest and you ladies seem to have a lot better idea than I do!

thesouthsbelle · 11/04/2010 08:12

monty - it was yummy, althou the chicken balls did taste a bit odd so on account of not wanting to eat cat or dog (they had a hint of garlic to them) I gave them to my dogs who lapped it up - not bad I don't think, 4 chicken balls, handful of chips & half portion of egg fried rice all for £3 with sauce.

and stop missing meals you!!!

mini - well, whats your support network like, do you have much spare time at all? what sorts of hours are you working? a date tbh initially can be an hours coffee, it does't need to be an all day or indeed a long thing. A lot of us do online dating on various sites. re the appearance thing, it goes back to once your DD is in bed, if you have a sitter over, then you can have a nice shower & get yourself made up - takes a bit of pratice but you soon develop a mummy me and a me me if that makes sense, so the mummy bit is still there but for those few hours you can dress up and put your makeup on. do you have much chance to meet someone thru your job? I'm sure one of the others will be along soon, but welcome to the clan thou.

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 11/04/2010 08:26

pink - though your new man had met your mum? if not you.. then who said that

mini - hi, welcome.. have you tried internet dating. what area are you in and we can point you in area of the best site for your area.

what tends to happen is if you meet someone online you will arrange the first time you met to be a quick coffee sometime when you already have a baby sitter. i.e lunch break or before/after you go to work. then if you like then... you go to the effort of arranging baby sitter.

your lucky in the sense dd is very very young. if she is a good sleeper and is in a good routine and you have her to bed at a good time.. then once you have been on a few dates and feel comfortable with the fella you can invite him round for dvd/takeaway at ur's while dd is sleeping if you are really struggling for baby sitter.

or why not ask any friends to hook you up. see if any know any single blokes?

thesouthsbelle · 11/04/2010 09:21

just tried date 2 with farmer - me asking him this time... and he said no bit well - first time I've asked a man out I think tbh and he's said no. well what he actually said was..... awww would love too!....But I got DD with me now, and feel it's a bit early to be envolving children at this time. Hay ! don't worrie im off the 'meet market' !.... want to meet up wiv you again ! X x x

I replied saying totally agree had better do me housework then! lol. hmm.... guess this is the bit I learn patience right?!?

Betty79 · 11/04/2010 09:45

belle-do you mean you asked him to meet today? If he's got his dd with him I wudnt take that as a complete no, as he obviously cant just drop things and good that he doesnt want to involve his dd so early......def patience is needed now....soh

mimi-Hi and welcome, like others have said quite a few of us are doing online dating. As for how you get out I tend to pay for a babysitter at first, cos I like to leave my mum babysitting to weekends when I want to go out with my friends but it does get expensive.I cant do lunchtime or afterwork due to the fact my childcare just covers the hours im at work. My 2 go to bed well, so when I've got to know someone a bit I do invite them round when the kids are in bed.

Juice-I like the sound of motorola man, so are u letting him cut your grass today?

ninah-so what was thai farmers pic like then? are u meeting him?

scl-great vids on fb

eve-hows your weekend been, have u sorted yout little liason with athletic yet?

monty-has bf not grovelled yet?

Hi everyone else, am waiting for fireman to text to let me know if we are still meeting for lunch today, he went races yest for grand national so am half expecting he will be too rough lol

lou33 · 11/04/2010 10:46

i just got out of the shower to find bf hoovering behind the sofa

Betty79 · 11/04/2010 11:12

lou-happy birthday to dd hope u all have a lovely day

SingleMum01 · 11/04/2010 11:39

Hi all,

Lou - happy birthday to DD

Belle - think I'm on most fb now, tried to send you an email but it wouldn't go. If you want to add me from the others my pic is my eye! Sounds like farmer is just busy today and can't meet, so maybe hang in there.

Mimi - welcome. Its hard to try and get yourself ready whilst the kids are so little, I tend to try and have a shower/hair late afternoon, then get make up on/dressed whilst DS is having supper/going to bed. I've been doing online dating.

Betty - any news from fireman?

Juice - it was my mum who met nm as she is my babysitter!

Date went great last night, why do I worry so much! Planning to meet up sometime next week, so looks like I'll be doing some cooking. Easy meal ideas please - and I mean easy!

Lou - you're one lucky lady

thesouthsbelle · 11/04/2010 11:41

lou - happy birthday to your dd. what are the plans for today? lovin you calling him BF thou.

betty - how's things with fireman?

yeah he replied straight away asking when DS was back & said we could meet maybe in the week evening/afternoon & walk my dogs. phew. patience is deffo not my strong point lol.

ho hum - anyhow a whole day of cleaning ahead - oh the joy

thesouthsbelle · 11/04/2010 11:43

single mum - will do. didn't get one so not sure what happened. will add you - i'm the mad one who's got the mask on (the hen do I swear lol)

thesouthsbelle · 11/04/2010 11:45

oh glad the date went well - easy meal i'm thinking spag bolg if you're brave with eating (mince jar spag - easy) bit messy thou, or curry? - again from a jar - amazing how us mums can cook from scratch! hehehe.

erm failing that how about a cottage pie with veg?

Betty79 · 11/04/2010 11:51
