ooh belle, 'really like' lol
soh is sheer discipline
wags finger
kdk 11 relationships seems quite a lot to me? or maybe that's the faster pace of life in the City
good luck with your op lou
and your flights lou2
eve lol at cougar tv
hi asbm
monty if you start bidding for paintings on bay you will be addicted, I let myself in for some serious spending and was PRAYING to be outbid
there's a fair selection let's say
lol at motorola (thanks for name story!) lecturing juicy on ms
have you tried zyban juice? friend of mine found it excllnt thought it doesn't suit everyone
and how exciting re house ... you know what they may regret refusing that 51k offer as things are still going to go down I think
wish monty could find something tho
Mine is looking almost middle class in places after a coat of paint, still a fair way to go though, and the 'nice' bits make the rest look even more scummy

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 19/04/2010 08:17

monty - this is the last time they are doing my course over 9 months. there is so much work it is being split over 2 years from next one!

belle - go visit friends.. give them phone till you leave again

lou - it's sods law.. and when your at shop in yesterdays clothes getting milk for a morning cuppa before your shower you will see the fittest bloke you've laid eyes on for months

eve - did athletic makes breakfast? surely you got a cuppa tea at least?

ninah · 19/04/2010 08:17

that's zyban, juice
not zyban juice

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 19/04/2010 08:20

ninah - scotland never really fell. it just stopped rising. people only lost out here if they had bought a new house during the boom.. and paid over its value (dc dad did this and they are waiting on values rising again before they can sell.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 19/04/2010 09:30

rofl @ ninah and her decorating,wonder if the school mum brigade will be round for a nose?!
eve omg what a worry about your phone

Monty100 · 19/04/2010 12:52

LouIOTHWTH - Fair play to you keeping your eye open for talent . The perfect opportunity as well to pass the time . Hope you're ok tho. We'll have to put out heads together for your new name when you get back .

Lou - hope op went ok.

Juice - as Ninah says, Zyban is supposed to be good.

Ninah - loving your house almost looking middle class rofl. One of the paintings from ebay came from china , so not even really a painting more a screen arty thing, but looks lovely!

Eve - am trying to think of that song from late 70s/80s that goes something like 'can I please stay for just one more night'. Did he bring you a cup of tea in bed?

ninah · 19/04/2010 13:03

I see juice
Let them come asbm, I am ready! (well some washing is STILL in the chair but I hope to pass that off as Bohemian)
monty there is loads of stuff from china, I tend to avoid it
i did get a nice original 30s sketch of a North African street for £20! £20! it's almost less than a print
there is a fair bit of crap, dodgy fakes etc on too, I was quite amused to watch someone from ohio bidding up to £3,600 for what they obv hoped was a Millais the other day
god I'm going to be late back now - laters

Monty100 · 19/04/2010 13:47

Ninah - but it looked lovely . Lol at Millais painting. I'm gonna see how much the Chinese crap stuff is, I can do crap if it looks good.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 19/04/2010 14:34

fighting talk there ladies
LOVE IT!!

ninah · 19/04/2010 16:03

yeah I was doing unmade beds long before she came along
poncy tart

ninah · 19/04/2010 16:10

oh they are not friends btw
I think they were just curious to see how the other half lives
and they like the art school stuff
'you'll never guess where I had drinks last night? at the home of a Single Mother!
Absolutely. I kid you not'
Like going to Borneo without the flight. I should sell tickets

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 19/04/2010 16:30

ninah - make sure you were suitable "single mother" attire so they get the full show.

perhaps one of those full length charachter nighties?

SingleMum01 · 19/04/2010 18:15

3 pages already!!

Juice and Ninan - I had a good night thanks. Met one of his mates, he's not from here so we don't usually see them round here when we're out and I avoided the initial suggestion to meet them when first started seeing him . Said he told his mum though! Next date is Thurs (another school night!) And i've run out of clothes now!

Eve - Athletic

ASBM and Betty - you were right, went with the low cut one! If you've got it flaunt it, and if you haven't flaunt it anyway!

Monty - yes it was cold and no I didn't take a cardi!!

Belle - any farmer news?
Juice - like the 'against the grain' pun!

Juice - what course are you doing?

Betty - boilerman, have you arranged to see him?

lou33 · 19/04/2010 19:49

hi i am home and alive and havent had any pain, just a bit tired

bf rattled about the house without me after the school run, so did a load of housework

i managed to cook dinner with no problems, all fingers intact after wielding a sharp knife

not awake enough to read everything since i lasted posted, apologies for that, but thanks for all your good wishes

SingleMum01 · 19/04/2010 19:53

Glad you're ok Lou x

BertieBotts · 19/04/2010 20:29

Hello everyone, oh dear, I am no good at this, you all chat too much for me to keep up

Glad to see you are home, Lou.

What is soh?

I should update a bit on my NM situation. Can't remember whether he had been round or not last time I posted. Anyway he came round 4 times in total, very nice, I feel relaxed in his company, easy to talk to and listen to and we make each other laugh a lot. We/I decided not to introduce DS yet because we don't know what is happening now - he has gone back to uni for the last bit of term, on a work placement, but it's going to be pretty non stop so definitely no time for visits and not much time to chat. We talked before he went and decided not to give it a name etc - so not officially "going out" - but hopefully will see him again when he finishes in July. Just don't know after that, because he doesn't know where he will be working etc. I hope that we can see each other, but we will see. I don't feel bothered about it though - I thought I would, but I feel fine. Still on a high I think from when he was here

Monty100 · 19/04/2010 21:58

ASBM - at fighting talk.

Ninah - a single Mother??? No . Was it horrid??? . Haven't had a chance to look on ebay yet but I will. No idea how much the paintings cost. I suppose it must be an insult to call it art to those with the gift. I'm an art whore me.

Lou - glad you're home and in one piece.

Louisothwth - you going back to Australia??

SM - glad you had a good night. Albeit without your cardie lol.

Juice - a crash course .

Bertiebotts - hello again . Glad things are going well.

Hi everyone else .

lou33 · 19/04/2010 21:58

I just read my going home papers and discovered they did the next step up procedure instead, which is the one before a hysterectomy. Still feel ok tho but also found out they say no sex for two weeks Ffs!

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 19/04/2010 22:10

... i'm back to the papers.

dad2chchalk · 20/04/2010 09:50

Can one of you ladies advise what constitutes fit and interesting? I can then advise, from a male standpoint, where they/we are all hiding...!

passmyglassplease · 20/04/2010 10:39

hi dad2chchalk, fit, means without beer belly, interesting means can talk about varied subjectsnot just football!

Although I may need to take that back as many of the ladies on here have varied interests.

PMG waves to all and sundry, sorry to hear you've not been well lou, get better soon. x

mrsmharket · 20/04/2010 10:46

lol i knew it would be part 20 by the time i could post again!!!

goor mornign everyone, hope you are all ok?
mini - hi hows you?

juice - what is forces playing at
glad things going well with motorola

kdk · 20/04/2010 11:09

hi dad2,

fit means looks after himself, attractive (though that can be hard to define as means different things to different people but not fat, beardy/unshaven, no combovers, washes regularly etc); interesting means, well, like pmgp said - having interests, communicative, interested in what other people have to say, have a sense of humour, don't take yourself too seriously, be reasonably intelligent ... any one else want to contribute ...

passmyglassplease · 20/04/2010 11:33

good post kdk, so much more eloquent than me

mrsmharket · 20/04/2010 11:42

would tdh count or is that me just being picky?
