[Betty79]

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

betty, i thought that about mechanics ex wife when i saw pics of her

but having met her i can say pics can be deceiving

(not that she is a 12 pinter, just that we always put our best shots up dont we)

well... not sure if i should be offended or thrilled but had a bit of an incident today.
walking through shopping centre. 2 guys at stalls a few feet away from each other.. as i passed one i hea "seven"... and then the one i was approaching shouted "no, way mate..she's at least eight" and holds up 8 fingers..

i instictively burled round to first guy and says "cheeky buggers the both of you... and why did i lose 3 points"

he replied.. "you lost 3 for the kids, but gained 2 for having the balls to give me a bollocking, your now a nine"

me "how come not a ten?"

him "no ones perfect love"

by this point i'm not offended and actually laughing at these 2 plonkers. but really... i should have acted offended and gave them a rollocking so they stop doing it.

but...... i remember from my hospitality days... we used to hold up numbers of fingers rating the customers

i've not seen anyones exes??? cant imagine how i would feel about that.

i would have laughed too juice, though otoh maybe not if i had my kids with me, but generally i would say yes

i have not only seen pics of the exw, i have also met her, and we have posted to each other on mechanics fb

Evening all - wine o'clock?

Lou - looks like a great bbq and mechanic - you lucky, lucky girl!

I'm feeling much perkier today, messaging a few on pof!

lol i would prefer it if he put his collars down but he refuses

he even has ds2 trying to do the same for school now

Juice, I would have been a bit meh, they were selling something so knew the patter. Similar to the door 2 door salesmen that ask if your mum and dad are in.

Not much to report from me. DD is at a party, (punching the air) she is wearing my new dress that I havent worn yet, she looked lovely.

Athletic is currently lying on the rug in front of the TV!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm useless but forgot to say Betty, NEXT!

Morning ladies, how is everyone on this bright and sunny day? I've got a bit of a head!

Betty - when have you arranged to see boilerman?

Lou - my ds does that too with his collars!

Juice - nice one - i'd have been thrilled!!

Is anyone on Dating Direct? I've had a couple of messages from blokes and can't read them 'cos I'm not subscribed - can't afford £77! I seem to remember someone saying they were on one of the previous threads and could pass a message on?

morning everyone.

sm i'm not on dating direct i'm afraid.

eve - lying on your rug?? does he think he's in a modelling catalogue

lou - how did bbq go? weathers ok here. but not as good as you lot are getting it.

mototrola was round last night. have to admit a marked improvement... plus.. my phone was going non stop with friends/family... and it was doing my head in... he finally took hint that adding his quantity of text/calls to what i get and it's frustrating/annoying. and NO baby talk . oh... and his cheesecake was lush

what did everyone get up to last night? it was very quiet on here?

Morning all - it was quiet last night.

It's been raining here but 'they' say it's going to be lovely. At least the marathon runners didn't get blazing sun. I'm off to a car boot sale for the want of something better to do .

Still raining here as well- poor DS2 is playing football in it! Am not there watching as Ex refuses to tell me now where they're playing in case I turn up ...oh and he's now taken the doormat from the front door. Words fail me!

No luck on the wardrobe front - was planning to get something cheap second hand just for now, but there was nothing for under £120 have decided I might as well just buy new at that price!

off to do some online shopping while its still raining....

sponge - wow... @ your ex taking doormat. bloody hell thats petty

sponge-Your ex is a complete idiot, he's obv doing it to try and get a reaction from!

eve-I have this picture of athletic on ur rug watching kids tv!

juice-glad you had a better night with motorola, so he's not getting the boot just yet then?

sm01-I'm not on dating direct either, well i am but not paid member!

As for boilerman, I'm gonna try and get a babysitter for wed night i think.

sponge words fail me
how you doing anyway?
juicy glad to hear that you're feeling a bit more chilled and that motorola is still keeping his lifelines for now

Bbq was lovely thanks. Weather was grey earlier but lovely sunshine again today. Kids with their dad for a few hours, not that we have time to relax. Boris has to be returned, bf fixed my friends car and has a private job to price up. Nice to have the peace still tho

sounds nice lou...more homemade pizzas for the kids then!!

singlemum, I am on meetic, which is the sister site to DD, and has the sam e guys on it.

i can do you a message if you like?

Think I have finally got rid of my uninvited house guest. So fingers crossed that he's got the message this time. Spent all day yesterday cooking and looking after him and I've had enough now, bit at myself for developing a major soft spot and putting up with it all, single life can throw some surprises your way not all good. Door is firmly shut now. Would only welcome him again with open arms after a lot of space and him sorting his life out, but won't hold my breath.

I honestly don't know what to think as to what he wanted with me. He had somewhere else to go last night but didn't want to, must stop trying to analyse it and kid myself that he felt anything and accept that he was only around because there was no alternative. I've never been in this situation before.

Hope everyone is OK and enjoying the weekend.

Betty, hope the date goes well. Juice sounds like it's going better with Motorola, worth giving it more time.

hope he gets the hint eve and you can stay immune to his charms

yes they are having home made pizzas again, i think he lacks imagination

i have about 25 mins left before i go get them and the peace is shattered!

and OMG , do any of you remember a guy i was seeing a year and a bit ago, who was mixed race and came back from his holiday early to see me, only to fall off the face of the earth?

he only sent me a text today when i was food shopping with the mechanic!

it said somethin like he had been thinking a lot about me recently and was sorry for whatever , he was in a bad place then and wanted to explain to me and how was i

showed it to bf and gave him a quick run down, he asked if he could call him from my phone and asked why he was pestering his gf lol

i didnt even realise i still had his number in my phone, so i just replied saying "who is this?" and when he replied with his name i have just ignored it

obviously he is only calling cos he thought i would fancy a bit and be all happy to hear from him

no thanks

Lou, bet you are so glad you've moved on from all that. You cannot blame a guy for trying but a year is a long time to resurface and expect you to be free. Cheek of it. I can remember him, was most likely a similar situation to the one I've found myself in. Why do I fall for losers?

hi all, how's your weekends been?

just a quick note of place before I catch up properly.

no news here planner & soldier both trying to get me to go on dates but am a bit meh! over it all really. Roll on tomorrow I say for some ogalin!

anyhow off to catch up.

Hi All,

Have had a lovely weekend, cycling and climbing with my kids! Not a word from my recent date so shall be binning his contact details from my phone!

Have been invited to a singles night tonight which is being organised by a friend but I am smelly and dirty having just mucked out my horse and cant be bothered to scrub up to go out. Obviously not as desperate as I thought I was

i dont really know what it was looking back, i know we had been in touch for a long time and met up on and off, and it was him who pushed for more, then disappeared off the face of the earth lol

anyway he left it far too long and even if he hadnt he wouldnt have got another chance

mechanic called him a cheeky c**t and said did he seriously expect me to welcome him back with open arms telling him to come see me

he said it to me not to him btw

elast mum - glad you had a good w.e

eve - ah not always loosers - surely there's been a few good un's in there? glad you kicked him out thou - repeat after me..... I am a beautiful swan and do not need a man in my life.... I am complete.

lou - bless mechanic lol. all protective.

juicy - how's motorola been today? anything from forces yet?

betty - good luck with boilerman.

single mum - deffo move on form older guy & indeed dad on this thread as well I think.

hate - honestly words fail me with your ex - what the hell does he think he's achieving? ref the wardrobes can you get the canvas type ones as make do's for now - althou I think those are about £60 each thou.

pirate/blondie/ninah/ any others < big waves>

juicy - ref marine, as said it's either me on my own or with my aunt waiting for my uncle to finish in the showers. Fri thou he purposely did come over from the people he was talkin to, dump his stuff at our table before followin us to the vending 'bar' thingy - who knows. not too keen on the idea he knows I like him thou - really must work on NOT going coy & blushing like a school girl when he announces over the mike things 'HI BELLE' if I don't say hello to him first of before we start. talk about embarrassing!! ice maiden has to come out. god damn it this RL befriending someone before asking them out is hard work!!
