The gap narrows when you get older so think that is what it is for.

thesouthsbelle · 28/04/2010 22:10

ah ok, well figners corssed he gets the message soon - if not there's the police or lou's offer. take care thou & be safe.

anyhow off for a bath then bed I think.

thesouthsbelle · 28/04/2010 22:10

fingers crossed **

Remotew · 28/04/2010 22:16

Night belle. Even my bro-in-law has offered to step in. That's a first. Hopefully won't need to go to any drastic measures.

I'm off to bed soon. Night all.

i make my own rules up to suit me, but the giving birth plus a few years tended to work, tho i did make the odd exception

i had an upper age limit too, which was younger than me, but if i hadnt raised it a couple of times i wouldnt have dated lb or be with mechanic now, so just do what you fancy i say (in more ways than one)

dd2 had a bit of a drama at the weekend and decided she wanted to spend this week at her dad's, because she thought it would be more fun and she wouldnt get told off

much as i didnt want her to i said ok and amazingly he said yes, so i dropped her off on monday, and not surprisingly picked her up today, as she realised it was most definitely not fun

however, last night i did panic a bit at the thought exh would refuse to give her back...until mechanic said if he didnt he would go round and make sure he did, and he would have too

luckily his help was not needed, because i dont like the thought of him getting in trouble because of my situation, but it was rather swoony to think he would

he also let on he had missed dd too, and bought her a big bar of her fave choccy as a welcome home thing

my point is, he would step in like that if he felt it necessary

am i wrong to find that strangely hot?

Betty79 · 28/04/2010 23:37

Just back from date with boilerman, which went well (i think). Seeing as I was very tempted to cancel because I was tired, It was a nice evening and I didnt drink Have text him and said i had a nice time, and got a long reply saying he did too and def wants to do it again so we'll see. Exh was meant to be taking kids camping at weekend, but looks like the weather is gonna be bad now, so now overnights if it is. Just goes to show there has got to be 'something' to want to see them again. Boilerman is taller than i thought tho must be 6ft2ish, and I wore flats, so if there is a next time must wear heels lol!

will come back tommorow to catch up with you all properly!

lou33 · 28/04/2010 23:43

ooh, glad it went well

thesouthsbelle · 29/04/2010 07:52

lou - no that is hot agreed.

betty - lad you had a nice time.

eve - how's things today am worried bout ya.

date night tonight still need to pick a top. althou jeans that fit would be a good start this time - last ones were too big. lol.

Remotew · 29/04/2010 09:25

Lou, knight in shining armour springs to mind, what's not hot about that.

Lol at DD thinking she would have a better time at her dads. I'm sure if DD had an option she would have left home a few times only to learn where she is better off.

Belle, apart from a little wine flu and a chest infection I am fine today. Haven't seen anything of you know who.

Betty, sounding good.

thesouthsbelle · 29/04/2010 12:00

good hope it carry's on.

am not a happy bunny at ALL now today. XP has jsut made this comment...

"Tut that is bitter!! I remember you dressing up very kinky for me one night and even blind folding me ;)"

v v v pissed off - was on my FB page.

piratecat · 29/04/2010 12:10

belle, can't you unfriend him?

lou, you are justified in feeling happy about that!!

ok

red flag

shop has texted the most bizarre kackhanded thing ever. Saying he couldn't stop thinking of me yesterdaynad that I should invite him to move in with me'

why, oh why. how silly or is he just being unintentioanlyy silly/clever, but not.

fgs. i just replied 'what? thats a bit weird, we havent been on a date yet.

if there had been a wink or exlamation mark then maybe it was trying to be funny, or is his just rubbish at sentences.
fgs

thesouthsbelle · 29/04/2010 12:18

yeah think I will do - he was being ok & had a few issues I was helping him with but that's really really pissed me off.

ref the text - I'd ahve said don't think that was meant for me - bit odd thou. red flag for me as well.

piratecat · 29/04/2010 12:19

yes, what a div to say that in a text.

immature?

mrsmharket · 29/04/2010 12:30

morning everyone

am sonot a curtain twitcher if there's nothing interesting happening

juice - lol at the ice and slice ow here too. i agree with lou about your 'no-plan' plan but who's coventry man? is that bit before my time

pc - 11 years is nothing.
can i put my milk order in too? i can't see the one i bought yesterday there's no rush here dd not back til after 3 lol

belle - i understand whta you mean about the point scoring, dd's dad is like that, it's becasue i had the temerity to leave him yet when he left me previously i was supposed to pine away for him good luck for date tonight as for planner, why don't you ask him???
the comments on your fb page(?) can be deleted by you can't they? could you block him??

eve- hope things better for you today, you can report behaviour like that to domestic abuse team at your local police station - they (should) take things like that pretty seriously, they would then have a record in case things escalate for you, can i suggest you keep contact diary of everything that happens of harrassing nature or am i wrong?

lou - knight in shining armour? no that's not wrong at all to feel like that

betty - how did date with boilerman go?

as for smooch, not been on there yet, i did say hi to one guy on zoosk, and got a reply fairly quickly by the look of things yet he lives fair distance away, just replied so will seee what happens there, have no name for him either lol up to you lot to think of name for him

mrsmharket · 29/04/2010 12:35

ach i need a user name and can't think of one

piratecat · 29/04/2010 12:35

mrs harket, did you read my last post about his text.
i am still reeling.

please let it have been a not funny joke!

mrsmharket · 29/04/2010 12:36

what the shop guy?

mrsmharket · 29/04/2010 12:43

no i hadn't seen it, but red flag here too bit of an odd thing for him to say i must admit it doesn't sound like a joke, even a crap one sorry.

piratecat · 29/04/2010 12:53

same here, oh dear.

thanks for confirming tho !!!!

zoosk is a strange site, i find it hard to get round it, and haven't got enough credits to do anything but look it seems. Have you joined properly?

mrsmharket · 29/04/2010 13:00

i did do but stopped the payment

i sometimes think that when we're feeling lonely and say i'm fed up with being on my own' that it's then we can run into all kinds of crap men perhaps it helps stop us feeling lonely and teaches us to be more discriminatory, it's upto us if we listen to the lesson tho i know i don't sometimes that's why i met next door guy lol
i think the old saying 'be careful what you wish for' is apt perhaps

Remotew · 29/04/2010 13:25

Pirate. RED FLAG!! Look what I've just been through. At least check out his current living arrangements.

mrsm, I know I have grounds to report but am trying to avoid it atm. Thanks anyway.

Must get on with some work and stop logging in here for today.

piratecat · 29/04/2010 13:28

well i will see what he has to say. my text hasn't been delivered yet, as there's bad signal where he is.

maybe he's just thick.

mrsmharket · 29/04/2010 13:40

eve - can i suggest you keep a 'log'? i know i should lol

pc - he could be thick but please be careful, i think you may live in same town as me perhaps for some local rl support - what kind of clues could i tell you>?

same goes for you eve, if you in sw?

Remotew · 29/04/2010 14:30

Where is sw?

Good idea for me to write it all down. It will be therapeutic (sp). Also as you say so that I don't forget anything if it gets any further out of hand.

piratecat · 29/04/2010 17:06

mrsmharket, do we? did i know this? I Have vague recolections of knowing a few mnetters live near. From posts over the years. Which in itself is well weird cos if we do share same town we know how small it is!! k?
