ninah ... you are too kind my dear.

cant decide if i should watch mrs brown (billy connelly) or walk the line (johnny cash songs).. such a hard choice.

sm01 - when he does compliment you it will seem all the nicer. as long as he isn't putting you down you have nothing to worry about yet. still early days. i would advise you compliment him though. before you know it he shall find himself much more comfortable complimenting you.. if that doesn't work. your buggered

SingleMum01 · 27/03/2010 21:25

DTMSJ - thanks

SingleMum01 · 28/03/2010 11:00

Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me!

My nm has rung me to say happy birthday - aw. Arranged to go out next Sat.

XH has emailed me a pissy email about CSA - bollox to him!

piratecat · 28/03/2010 11:04

lol @'if that doesn't work you're buggered'!!

morning everyone. dd had her first sleepover last night, it was meant to coincide with me and new man going out (iyswim!!).

So that's another reason i am mightily annoyed at him, he knew the score and was supposedly looking forward to some 'us 'time. It was my first night off from dd in 2 yrs! I chatted to my mum last night, and she was great, was quite surprised by the lack of respect, and concluded he is a cowardly arse.!! I feel better today about it all.

SingleMum01 · 28/03/2010 11:56

PC - onwards and upwards, there will be a better one out there for you

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 28/03/2010 12:26

pc - let me get this right.. you have been dating for couple of weeks...enough dates that i've lost count of the amount of dates.... you had house to yourself... and he still refused to come in for coffee/spend night... so... have you even had a proper kiss/grope (i'm assuming defo no sex yet) if you dont mind me asking... since you haven't had anytime on your own behind closed doors????

how do you feel about this? can he discuss anything sex related? innuendo's for example.. or is he very shy?

happy birthday sm01 - my your ex is a real prize winning cock... obviously he's well aware its your birthday

SingleMum01 · 28/03/2010 13:01

DTMSJ - love that phrase about Xh - very true! He emailed me yesterday to say he couldn't have DS today as he's unwell - shame! Not even sent a card to me from his DS. I'll be emailing him later!

hatesponge · 28/03/2010 13:32

sm01 - happy birthday if its any consolation my Ex never managed to get the kids (or himself) to send me a card even when we were together, let alone since! just remind yourself - as I do - this is one of the many reasons to be happy that you are no longer together!

PC - I would be somewhat peeved re your man as well - is he a bit shy? thats the only reasonable explanation for his behaviour i think....

am rather happy atm, not men related as such, but I think I may have reached an amicable compromise with Ex over our house Am trying not to count my chickens too soon because Ex is the most unreasonable, spiteful man but the thought that by the summer I might essentially have my own home..albeit with a huge mortgage...is rather exciting! And takes my mind off my disastrous love life

ninah · 28/03/2010 16:25

happy birthday sm!
and pc, sorry, but enjoy the time to yourself anyway - glad you feel better
hate that's great news, good luck, new home new start etc
guess who forgot about the clocks today! was staggering round in my pjs when friend texted see you in 30, whoops! was a football party, bit annoyed as had splashed out on a ds game and ds (appropriate) had unwrapped it from the plastic and was playing it
also his 'hand made card' was a couple of scrawled balloons lol
oh well, bedtime comes earlier

piratecat · 28/03/2010 16:29

juice, I haven't heard from him since thursday, i was just saying that before that, we had planned to be able to spend some proper time together this weekend. Either here, or I'd go to his house.

No dd, so i or he could have a drink, and not driven home, if that's what had happened. We have had lots of flirty texts, and a few serious snogs/ gropes! Both said we wanted to take things steady. So thursday he texted, to say he was all finished up in work, and was looking forward to the weekend, then nothing since. Thats why i am pissed off.

piratecat · 28/03/2010 16:31

he was very sensual, and very together about sex and talking about stuff.

whatever, i am ok but upset. thats me. i feel like a twat for trusting anyone again.

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 28/03/2010 16:36

ah sorry pc. i'm getting confused as a few of you ladies have very similar things going on at the moment.

have you gone back on the site yourself.. am i right in him being the guy who has been seen back looking at sites?

piratecat · 28/03/2010 17:00

lol, it's cool.

if i am coming over sensitive, it's cos i am erm feeling like shite tbh.

He'd not been on all last week, we were in touch etc... I had gone on (pof) to check emails, but i'd hidden my profile as wanted to concentrate on nm.

he was on there yesterday when i went on to nosey. You nkow what, I think he DOES have a shy side sexually, not the 'act', but somehow i got the impression he didn't want to jump in. I think he has had some sort of bad exp, and has now retreated to his cave.

If i thought he was an ass, i wouldn't be so bothered about this. He did so much of the running, and was just trustworthy. But perhaps a coward afterall., oh and chuck in mean bastartd too for good measure.

Betty79 · 28/03/2010 17:04

Urgh just had to endure another 2 hour party with lots of screaming kids and a hangover lol plus one of the other mum's started asking me if id met anyone else etc then proceeded to go about how if she split with her husband she could never be with someone else because she doesnt think it work swhen someone brings another mans kids up!

anyway had an ok night out last night, had enough by 1 tho and came home and left them all to it! not heard from trucker since thurs when we spoke on msn i think, no contact from estateagent either lol mailman has text tho, still planning to meet him thurs.

cake4ever · 28/03/2010 17:10

Hi all. Just a quick update about the fireman. We met for a coffee this afternoon. We had only been there 20 minutes when he got buzzed on his call thingy (can't think of the name!) so he had to go off on call. I sat there thinking blimey that's a bit of an extreme way to get out of the date!! Anyway, 20 minutes later he called me and asked if I was still around and could he come back to see me if I didn't mind. So he did and we had another coffee in peace! He was really nice and seemed quite keen and said he wanted to talk to me tonight and meet again. We will see!

Ninah that's a bit crap about your ex. Like the others have said there's not much you can do if he won't have them but I totally understand about the not getting a break thing. Sometimes that's the only thing that keeps me going is knowing that I'm gonna have a bit of time off. Also, there's no way you're gonna know the truth about what he's telling you about his dad. You will adapt if you need to I'm sure. Do you have any friends that can help you out with a bit of childcare?

SM01 your nm sounds lovely - remembering your birthday, that's impressive! and happy belated birthday to you.

Pirate - hope you managed to enjoy your bit of time off despite lack of tosser man! Are you getting back on the horse and fishing again?

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 28/03/2010 17:16

cake - i'm impressed fireman came back after he got beeper. he must be keen .

pirate - maybe he just isn't ready for a relationship. leave him to go off and fish. no point you trying to get involved with someone like that who's going to be wishing they were still out fishing. everyone needs time when split to learn to be themselves again. you have just met him a bit early on in his time perhaps.

betty - have you contacted trucker or ea either?

piratecat · 28/03/2010 17:22

yeah, maybe so. I am really great and older, and sassy so i prob scared the shite out of him in my loveliness

I'll let him go back to the small world he came from, he's more comfortable there.

Anyone living in my area, beware of your local scout leader, he's a spineless coward.

is that libelous? oh well.

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 28/03/2010 17:25

why didn't you mention he was in scouts... last one of those we had on this thread got caught sucking his thumb in bed!!!!!

SCOUTS ARE TO BE AVOIDED!

very lovely , kind and thoughtful whimpy lettuces!!

piratecat · 28/03/2010 17:25

yes, cake.

I am too, you must have been like when he left!!! Sounds promising tho!!!

Many Happy returns singlemum !!

Betty hope the hangover has gone.

piratecat · 28/03/2010 17:27

pmsl!!

He wasn't your 'normal' scout type tho, kinda a bad boy one!!

Just fucks me right off that he prob goes on about courage and stuff to his charges.

thesouthsbelle · 28/03/2010 17:58

god part 19 - I really am crap at the mo keeping up with here. bessie bud looks to still be going thru a messy split so not good there. what is it with oversized little boys these days?

sm - happy birthday.

so what's happening then around the block? I shall pull up a chair and share my terrys chocolate orange with y'all. lol.

had a fab w.e - hen do - pics on FB - not good, not good at all, but well it was a riot.

farmer is well I dunno playing the ht/cold thing I think at the mo - not overly fussed, chatted to a ew people from smooch/on msn, and tbh I can't be assed to actually meet any of them. will keep emailing a few who are nice.

so come on low down if you please....

I know juicy, Lou, blondie are all loved up,
eve/ninah are you still off men as well?

pirate/sm/hate what's happening with you girls.

/,big waves to everyone i've missed as well>

Remotew · 28/03/2010 18:24

Just had chance to have a read through.

Happy birthday SM01.

Belle, I'm still off men atm. Spent yesterday shopping. Bought some curtains and bedding for DD's room. Managed to get her a dress and accessories for her leavers ball. It's a short, young fashion type, but quite princessy so just right for a 'prom dress'. I didn't buy myself a thing and spend a fortune.

We got the train but they had closed all the lines so had to get a coach back, it was direct so much better than changing trains.

As we were coming into our town my neice rang and we arranged to meet them for a drink on the way home. Her DH had brought a friend along! Ended up coming home about half ten, had nothing to eat, plenty to drink and had to put this mate up in the spare room. Cheeky devil got into bed with me early this morning. I was so tired I just rolled over and went back to sleep. Fortunately had my full jamas on. Wierd experience but I handled it OK, he tried to give me a cuddle but knew I wasn't up for it.

Haven't heard anything from younger man.

Monty100 · 28/03/2010 18:52

Hi everyone

SMO1 - happy birthday to you!

Pirate - what a twat to let you down like that. grr

Belle - good to see you.

Cake - Fireman sounds keen! My heart sank when you said his pager beeped and he had to go. But that was a nice ending to the story.

Juice - you seeing Forces this week?

Sponge - good news on the house!

Ninah - lol at forgetting about clocks.

Betty - that woman at the party sounds like an idiot. Hope you've recovered.

Eve - pmsl at bed hopper. Very cheeky but was he nice?

Domestic drudgery here as usual, although we are about to eat roast dinner and the wine is coming out. lol

Remotew · 28/03/2010 19:32

He wasn't bad, but I wasn't attracted to him. Plus I was well aware that he is my nephew in laws mate!

Roast sounds nice. I've had a very healthy greek salad and just waiting for the apple Crumble to bake, custard at the ready, all prepared by DD .

Monty100 · 28/03/2010 19:44

Eve - Mmmm apple crumble. That's a shame he wasn't attractive. Very very cheeky. Sounds like you had a good day tho. Is dd pleased with her dress?

Roast was lovely.
