Hi all, just popping in after work and before school pick up.

Mrs M - love that skirt - what a bargain too - get it!

Belle - thanks for your advice re: drink/taxi. Soldier reckon you wanna keep hold of that one.

passmyglass - sorry things not gone well for you x

Length texts again with Mr Blue - asking if we can meet Sun afternoon as well as Sat eve - I hope I'm not a disappointment to him on Sat and he changes his mind

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 12/05/2010 14:34

ooh wish i could come down to london to meet you lovely ladies.

pmg ... sorry to hear it hasn't worked out as you hoped. but you are better off on your own than being messed around by a ditherer.

belle [ oooh flowers sounds amazing. bet your looking forward to your date now?

lou33 · 12/05/2010 14:55

sorry to hear your news pmg

just had a lovely couple of hours wandering about a sculpture park with dd2

belle, bet you have a big grin on your face!

ninah · 12/05/2010 18:02

sorry to hear your news pmg
and mrsh it was not my nan it was betty's so I don't know, betty hasn't been on for a while - hoping all is OK
the tory backlash hasn't even begun yet you should hear the school mums
as for the lib dems they went to bed with thm for the sake of Clegg being called Dep PM and a few Cabinet places, what good are they going to be?

ninah · 12/05/2010 18:03

belle

Betty79 · 12/05/2010 18:38

Hi all not heard much more about my nan I'm gonna ring later as its her bday today!

I'm worried I'm gonna be stuffed if they scrap tax credits, I rely on the childcare help to work, and well although I enjoy working there is no way I'm gonna work my arse off all week for nothing!!

Sorry for not doing personals, might be back later If i can stay awake am soooo tired

thesouthsbelle · 12/05/2010 18:58

hi all, right time to catch up properly now...

betty - hope your nan is doing better.

ninah - give em a chance I say - give it 6 months and then we'll see how th tides are going to sway I think.

lou- how was the sculp park?

pmg - sorry to hear your news - agree with juicy. but be kind to yourself. not quite sure what went on, but if he has those issues they're quite big - unless you think some space and he may have a change of heart?

sm - just say to him well we'll see on sat cos I might have XYZ to do or something - you might change ya mind for all you know?! and yes think i'll be keeping hold of him for a bit before I thrown him back.

so what's happening with the rest of ya then?

had a nice call from soldier at lunch - jsut about made my day with the flowers. erm.. ref the credits thing, mine (incl CC) are the same as my wages just about, and tbh it's what I use week to week to buy food, petrol etc etc, without them, the wages CB and maint. would just cover my bills and get the basic food but not petrol etc etc. but as I see it until we see how the land is going to fall (and I'm not going to be at the 50K mark, then I think I should be ok.) fingers crossed they don't reduce the credits - i can see them holding them, and the CB as well holding that, but not getting rid - althou apparently they're getting rid of the NIC raise next year. we'll see over the next few weeks to 6 months I think before I form a final opinion.

kdk · 12/05/2010 19:14

PMG - sorry to hear your news - I'm up for a commiserating over men/tory f*ckwits/no spark dates/delete as applicable ... just leave a message for me here or on FB whichever.

SingleMum01 · 12/05/2010 19:42

Belle - loving your fb comments

thesouthsbelle · 12/05/2010 19:45

lol. I just love annoyin him he knows he'll get another date. when he rang he was all oh so I better raise my game then if another bloke's buyin ya flowers and chocs...

Betty79 · 12/05/2010 20:02

belle-lots of flirting on fb then lol and for getting the flowers, I get the feeling u are warming more to soldier now!

sm-what are u doing on ur date sat? I wouldnt rule out a date sun as well if u like him, maybe he's thinking they might all roll into one

pmg-sorry to hear yours news

lou33 · 12/05/2010 20:20

cor the sculpture park was really great

we only managed half of it as didnt realsie how massive it was, so didnt have time, but will definitely go back

i put about 60+ pics of some of the sculptures on fb

SingleMum01 · 12/05/2010 21:01

Betty - going for drinks in town on Sat. He hinted at it all rolling into one. Not going to happen though as I have DS 24/7 apart from 2 hours on a Sunday afternoon when he's with XH.

hatesponge · 12/05/2010 21:08

pmg I was thinking a few days ago you hadnt been on the thread for a while, and (wrongly) assumed all was going swimmingly in rl

its a yes from me to drinks too - and if we can tie it in with Eve's forthcoming visit to London all the better, just let me know when and where.

belle- re flowers, you lucky thing!

betty - hope your nan is doing ok

Have been off sorting out the whole Ex situation, is still a financial mess of course but hopefully it's not getting any worse now. Fingers crossed & all that.

Also wedding man resurfaced this week & asked if I wanted to go out this weekend Expect he will cancel by then anyway

Hope everyone else as well as can be under a Tory govt.....

Monty100 · 12/05/2010 21:30

Hi Sponge - glad you're making headway with ex situation.

Hi everyone else.

OK, who wants to organise this time ?? I'll chase everyone if no-one else wants to do it. I guess it's your call really Passmyglass as this one is in your honour and if we don't manage to hook up with Eve. (Methinks Eve has gone very quiet and is in hiding lol).

Belle - lol at your optimism. If the incoming government does anything to assist the likes of us on this thread or make our lives easier, I'll eat my hat, or words, as DC put it so eloquently today.

Betty79 · 12/05/2010 21:52

thanks sponge, and sorry whoever else asked spoke to my nan earlier and she sounded a lot perkier. my mum has gone down south to be with her, and will keep me informed.

monty-eve isnt being quiet on fb lol! and wish I could meet up with you all

sponge-are u going to meet wedding man then?

sm-oh well sat night sounds good anyway

Boilerman seems to be texting more, and I dont have to text him first (my god think I've found one who doesnt wait for the woman to text lol!) am seeing him tommorow and may even get my pressie then, will let you all know if i do

passmyglassplease · 12/05/2010 22:51

What eve are/is the majority available, this weekend is to soon, what about the friday after? Think its the 21st.

Weekend after that the half term starts and it may be a little more difficult to arrange, although I can do the Friday 28th and am then off for a week to Spain volcanic ash not withstanding.

Glad to see the tradition of the thread remains true and I continue to be amazed that it has been going so long!!!!

long live the lone parents, even if the conservatives think we are money grabbing wasters.

apologies if anyone is offended by my comments, but my excuse is in a bottle of red wine

passmyglassplease · 12/05/2010 22:52

right I am off to bed to cry into my pillow. night night all
