Pirate - Opened the link and couldn't or just wouldn't read it.

SCL - yes dp got here about 8.30 not bathed changed nuttin. If it gets to a certain time you won't get me moved anyway.

I'm ok if I go straight from work, but when I get home, that's where I stay......

Ninah - you're getting very domesticated

Sponge - Sorry about the camera . I'm blind as a bat too and if I wasn't so vain and would wear glasses in public I might know better what I'm doing lol. You do look lovely though, and you should not put yourself down the way you do. And you have a really lovely persona. So there. (And obviously very very bright).

All - I don't think the five years is totally wasted. OK so it's spent healing, but you grow with that. It sets you up for life really. When the hurt goes, you are a stronger more understanding, mature, and experienced person. No, not wasted. Not entirely anyway. On the face of it you might get a few more wrinkles and grey hair. Nothing a good holiday wouldn't sort out (if we could afford one). Appreciate yourself for five minutes is as good a tonic as any. You read through this thread, every single one of us has stuff going on for us in the positive. Think what you have, not what you haven't got.

Eve - have you managed to keep your hands off him? I doubt very much that I would have .

aseriouslyblondemoment · 23/04/2010 23:46

ninah read your lovely email will endeavour to respond over the w/e
sm01 we all look out for each other on this thread,don't know what's happening off-line with you 2..but imho i think he's a player..
..d2c come and prove us me wrong..but your temp pic on your MN profile says it all for me...{cynical but always right emoticon}

Monty100 · 23/04/2010 23:51

ASBM - Hellooooo!

SM - that dad2 is a bit suspect deffo. Strange person coming on to a thread and throwing himself around and then disappearing like that. Heard anything from older man this evening yet?

Monty100 · 23/04/2010 23:53

ASBM - love your fighting talk too lol.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 24/04/2010 00:00

heyyy mont
hope your curry was good..!!
knocking back enjoying my sainsbo's 3 for a tenner here..!
{sensible drinking/ early start emoticon}

Monty100 · 24/04/2010 00:02

It was just ok I have to say. Have just had a few beers, 9.00am early start for me too. Loads to do. Grrrrroan.

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 24/04/2010 00:06

evening all!!

pirate - oh my... pissed myself laughing at that website.

belle - irish has been told i shall come play at start of next week ... i'm actually really looking forward to this . going to fall off the wagon spectacularly. haven't had a night on lash since... actually... must have been since i went to germany since last proper drink. oh.. and forces sent me a good luck message from the "bush" ... i am considering hearing him out in person..... i may also be thinking it's rather enjoyable going on random wkd breaks to unusual places to meet up to see forces

motorola.... he calls and texts too much.i think this is main reason i am getting annoyed by him.

eve - why are you waiting up? what if he stays out and bangs someone else then doesn't come home.... just pointing out reality... this is most likely what will happen.

but.. by all means... shag the living daylights out of the lad ... but.. please... stop doing the chores for him!!!

Monty100 · 24/04/2010 00:10

Juice - you need to adjust halo, after its fallen off lol. Good on you. But poor Motorola .

aseriouslyblondemoment · 24/04/2010 00:12

wasn't it from your local?
poor al,points for trying!
am turning in..nn all x
ps @ our ever lovely eve

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 24/04/2010 00:16

monty - he was about 30-60 texts.. and 4-5 calls a day last week. we had words. and i said as my exam to cut it down. today it was about 10 text and 2 calls!! .. now bear in mind this isn't me answering. i probably only sent 2 or 3 replies!and he left his phone at home today (i have a feeling because he knew he was going overboard with contact).. yesterday when he was supposed to be cutting down text as i was revising was still 25+ texts and 3 calls

oh.. and i expect to find the halo strewn on the floor next week along with the disgarded empty beer bottles... i of course.. will be fully clothed. there will be no digarded clothing among the debris of the night before carnage

Monty100 · 24/04/2010 00:16

NN everyone. Sweet dreams. (or real dreams if you can get it lol ).

Monty100 · 24/04/2010 00:20

X post Juice.

I expect your clothes will be beautifully hung up..................

If there's any clothes on floor it'll have been the beer monster of course.

NN xxx

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 24/04/2010 00:33

monty - have i not told you irish has a love/hate relationship with my clothes disguarding .... it plays havoc with his cleanliness streak.

night all. hope betty is enojying her date

thesouthsbelle · 24/04/2010 07:53

juicy - you so know you n irish won't be doing the just drinking buddies thing!!!

eve - what time did himself decide to come in the door then?

pirate - OMG love myself much that man - steer well clear.

blondie - think we scared the blokey off?!?

sm - agree thou line up a few more date & see what happens.

sin - good on you girl for changing your number. what sites is it you're using?

sponge - least wedding is considerate? see what happens if you're not too fussed on him be there if he is iycwim.

monty - you are of course right again ref all have positives going on in our lives.

eve- don't you dare leave. internet dating should be fun - and well i've decided now the men on there used as play toys, nothing more nothing less to be kept at arms length. not sure (for me what with trust ishooos etc) anything long term can come of it so I reckons a bit of window shopping is ok?!?!

anyhow gotta get DS to town today to buy some new underwear - oh the joy primarni on a sat am. still deciding on it for get a breakfast out or not - really gotta join fat club again thou - the weight is creeping back on again.

thesouthsbelle · 24/04/2010 08:05

(oh and think you're right to get rid f motorola as well tbh. - not sure from what you've said he's right for you, or indeed your heart is really in it)

oneorboth · 24/04/2010 08:05

pirate - that link is very funny. can you belive someone has done that and linked to his profile... what a twat!

well indie kid and i have arranged a date for next fri, though he did ask if i fancied an afternoon in a pub garden on sunday. i said i did, but am busy. which is the truth.
he seems nice and normal so am hoping it will go well. havent had weeks and weeks of chatting either which is a trap i have fallen into before. i think its better to meet quickly.

phone stalker man has not contacted me anymore. am pleased about that.

indie kid emailed me his bands myspace for me to have a look at. long hair, facial hair and lead guitar. letal combination if you are me. Ive just one slight niggling thought that i have not as yet mentioned i have a child. i took it off my profile. i was thinking i might not mention it until after a few dates ( not just with him, with anyone). what are your experiences with this?

thesouthsbelle · 24/04/2010 08:25

well ime I like to be up front & say I have DS, also explains why I can't do a lot of things. it's up to you thou, I don't think i've ever held it back - have left it off of profile but not when talking.

tbh the kids are a fixed thing in our lives we can't change them - and account for about 80-90% of our time so in that respect it's hard not to mention them I think.

oneorboth · 24/04/2010 08:25

also was wondering if we should do a name and shame thing of weirdos/people to avoid?
is that at al possible?

just i had that last one who was a right weirdo. my friend has just had a terrible experince with someone and im sure you lot have too.

SingleMum01 · 24/04/2010 08:54

Morning all,

ASBM/Monty - no not been chatting to D2C - agree player I reckon - unless you want to get back on here and prove us wrong D2C?!

Older bloke - no text last night, didn't expect to as he was out and needs glasses to read/send text! Think I've decided to leave it and move on.

Fancy doing a lock and key/speed dating event. Can anyone recommend any in the midlands? Anyone else fancy it??!!

Eve - did athletic turn up?

Oneorboth - love the name and shame

Betty - how was date?

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 24/04/2010 09:01

oneorboth - if your in same area as some of other girls.. join onto our facebooks and you can pass on the weirdo username

we have shared details in past. occasioanallyposted names on here. but usually a username and photo swap of both the ones we are seeing... and the ones to watch out for

belle - so does marine sit with just you on your own everytime after the gym?

scl - good on you changing your number

sponge - have you seen any wardrobes you fancy yet?

oh... and as for the dc... you should really have it on your profile. if i was chatting to someone and discovered they had lied about having dc... i'd wonder what else they lied about... i.e are they really married,etc.

oh.. and .. motorola text me at 6.49am!all and well that i told him i do get up from 6am with ds. but.... would anyone here ACTUALLY start texting from that early in the morning? on a saturday? as it was we managed to have a lie in this morning.. and his text woke ds up . i dont want to have to start turning my phone off at night, but its getting ridiculous.

oneorboth · 24/04/2010 09:38

texting you before 7am. my god thats terrible.

i dont know the story with him?? are you seeing him or just chatting at the momment?

the stalker guy was texting me at 7:30am and up till gone midnight. did my head in.and if he was like that before we met, what would he have been like after.
