Has no one beat me to it with a new thread yet?

OP posts:
kdk · 22/04/2010 18:42

message reads as follows

"I'm not sure why you contacted me - perhaps it was by mistake - as I fail to see anything in my profile that could lead you to think I would be interested in conducting some sort of no-strings relationship with you. I suggest that if that is the sort of 'relationship' you want, you seek out a professional woman who will at least benefit from being paid for her time and services."

LMFAO!!!!

aseriouslyblondemoment · 22/04/2010 18:59

belle i'm good ta
nothing exciting to report,bit like lou really lol
sm01 do you and d2c live near each other then?
kdk tbh it sounds like one of those copy n paste jobs that many of these desperados send out hoping for a bit of a hit n run
loved your response tho
juicy

ninah · 22/04/2010 19:11

kdk I was hoping you'd tell him you'd like to marry him and have a few more babies
or send him a wedding dress pic
to really put the wind up him
asbm addy is the same in fact i mailed you last night [smil]

kdk · 22/04/2010 19:15

asbm - sure it is - just wish they didn't all see the need to copy me in!

Am starting to think (again) that Lou and a couple of others have bagged the only decent guys out there and that the only blokes on dating sites are chancers, munters, married, psychos ... or if you are really lucky, a combination of all four!

thesouthsbelle · 22/04/2010 19:20

see how do you know if/when they're not thou - cos i'm a sucker me n will believe any cock n bull story (within reason)

oneorboth · 22/04/2010 19:22

this thread moves so fast. im sorry i dont know you all... hopefully i will get to know you.

guy 2, i shall nickname 'indie kid'. he plays guitar in a band and has longish hair and wears skinny jeans/cardigans and those scarf type things.

well, he has asked me out for a drink!!! WOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO. he asked when i was free and i said next friday. Im really busy until then. Do you think thats too long to wait and is that ok?

and what on earth do i wear?

oneorboth · 22/04/2010 19:28

am currently doing the ' i have a date' dance round my study

Monty100 · 22/04/2010 19:33

Oneor - well done you!

Kdk - lmao. But I think I missed the bit where he's looking for no strings, I think he meant with him. Anyway if he's a munter might as well just bin him off.

ASBM - will email this eve.

Lou - fgs can you just stay sitting down lol! I know you have today but you need a few days more I reckon.

Belle - giving Marine a virtual kick up the ass for not asking you out yet lol.

SM - sooooooooo, do you and dad2 have a date then?

Elasta - any news yet?

Juice - how's the studying going, nearly finished?

Have been working at home today, and started cleaning my kitchen about 5.30pm. Sad git. Was so nice not having a commute.

thesouthsbelle · 22/04/2010 19:43

one - well done you - go casual? jeans top boots? no not too long i don't think.

monty - but not literally!? lol. needs one thou. he's constantly moaning how it's harder to come home to an empty house or that all he wants is cinderella to fall in love with and so on & so on lol. - i'm like erm.... HELLLO!

(oh and not sad at all - but YAY! for no commute thou)

aseriouslyblondemoment · 22/04/2010 19:46

kdk think both lou and i kissed alot of frogs before we met our blokes...so yes it can be done,honestly lol
ninah will go and have a nosey,keeps me off ebay..
monty what a crap way to spend a sunny eve

kdk · 22/04/2010 20:11

I am off to have a drink with some mums from school - mind you, am disappointed as is much colder out than I thought it would be, therefore nixing our plan of sitting outside drinking jug of Pimms!

lou33 · 22/04/2010 20:13

asbm, only a hundred or so...each

i am trying really hard to not do anything, honestly, but it is hard to not feel guilty when my bf has turned up straight from work and started washing windows, scraping paint and is now hoovering...

he only sat down to eat

i did make dinner though, and very nice (but easy) it was too

i conjured up a magical feast of leftovers and whatever was in the cupboard, so it was chicken risotto with veg in coconut and ginger, sprinkled with coriander and chilli seeds

Monty100 · 22/04/2010 20:16

Belle - is he flirting with you?

ASBM - but I was sitting at the open french doors all day doing my work.

Its funny, I'm more diligent when I work at home because I have to make sure I produce something lol. OK so I did get a couple of loads on the washing line etc too. I'm hoping this will give me a head start at the weekend see. Blimey, turning this into a good housekeeping thread now.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 22/04/2010 20:27

that's nice tho lou..about time that we had a fully involved bloke we're not divorcees for nothing are we?!
mont pmsl yeah we had this domestic drudgery convo last w/e,but you're right to get it all done
hope dcs get their bits ironed tho!!

Monty100 · 22/04/2010 20:27

Kdk - it has turned v chilly (don't forget your cardie lol). Am heading for a hot bubbly bath and pj's soon.

Lou - I have to say I'm impressed with these, are they new found, culinary skills? Your bf is a star.

I cooked meatballs in tomato sauce and pasta, it was very nice I have to say. Instead of sitting on a train this morning I knocked up a curry and had it bubbling in the slow cooker all day and I've frozen all that.

Monty100 · 22/04/2010 20:31

ASBM - you could do the domestic drudgery day in and day out and it still wouldn't be done I'm sure. Ho hum. Was certainly triple tasking today.

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 22/04/2010 20:33

asbm - whats the at?.. go on.. be truthful with me.

i think i need you all to be very blunt with me.

am i thinking up daft excuses for dumping again?

i'll make you really really give me the face now.... arranged a midweek piss up with irish for next week sometime.

i really need it after this exam.. and dc dad still in thai... i'm slowly cracking up at my incarceration!

Janos · 22/04/2010 20:37

Good evening you lot bloody hell does this thread move fast or what!

H mrsm - pretty sure I recognised your name too, maybe from elsewhere in the lp topic?

lou - saw pics of your garden of fb, it looks fab. Can you hire him out for the w/e? My garden needs a good sort out and no excuse not to do things with it as the good weather seems to be finally here to stay.

asbm - thanks. I may just pop on when I have some spare time for a good catch up (and a bit of a moan). How's things with you and your gang?

Monty - most impressed with you making a curry in the slow cooker. I'm a bit dim when it comes to curries and slow cookers. My mujm gave her old one about 18 months ago and I've never used it

Anyway I'm feeling much better, that old sense of freedom and being able to do what I like (well kind of) has started to creep back...

kdk - ROFL at that ridiculous message, I;ve had so many of those. Maybe we could do a stop the crappy cliche montage?

Oh and before I forget, Juicy - good luck for tomorrow! Hope you ace it

Janos · 22/04/2010 20:38

And by good, I mean not raining or snowing or blowing a gale..that counts for good up here over the border

lou33 · 22/04/2010 21:09

no not new found skills, i just started enjoying it again (and it is cheaper than buying in ready made crap)

SingleMum01 · 22/04/2010 21:18

Evening all,

ASBM - we live in the same area - quite a distance apart though!

Monty - no! Just been chatting!

Older bloke has been texting - I really don't understand men, why bother to text me when its over

thesouthsbelle · 22/04/2010 21:42

sm - what's he on about then? does he want to stay friends?

lou - very of your BF. lucky lucky lady you.

janos - you know it makes sense independence is what it's all about. lol.

juicy - good luck tomorrow, you'll be fine. don't think you're looking for reasons tbh from what you've said.

monty outside as well I bet?!? he flirts in person, but I get embarrassed and run away, (well get really shy and blush) I flirt online with him but he runs away (not literally but you get the drift).

blondie - what are you buying on ebay then?

oh the political thingy was just sooo much fun. still nto sure- why can none of them ever answer a question, and why do they talk all over each other?!?!

SingleMum01 · 22/04/2010 21:49

Belle - I've no idea, yesterday text to say it was over. Today lots of text about how things have been.

Guess who I'm msm'ing!

thesouthsbelle · 22/04/2010 21:50

oooh I say! lol.
