monty - yes, invited over. but by time i'm able to go with dc dad being away.. he'll be almost due his leave. he thinks he'll be on leave next month. so we're at present debating a couple of days in the sun. meet somewhere more in the meditteranean.

am wearing tight ankle length jeans, a top which is supposed to be a minidress - black and glittery (my daughter loves it) and black spike boots here from Tescos embarrassingly enough ... can't bloody walk but there you go! They look pointier and spikier irl. Wondering whether to do shape pants or not!

lou33 · 07/05/2010 18:53

sounds good and i like the boots

nothing wrong with tesco, i have some stuff from there too

now go and have a great time

Just popping in to say good result here. It used to be a conservative stronghold but the Lib Dem guy got in last time by 250 votes. He has worked really hard for the area, he's a young guy and you often bump into him in the pub. He was worried he would lose his seat but he got 12,250 votes more than the conservative this time. Result!!!!

Monty100 · 07/05/2010 20:11

Kdk - hot boots! I'm not bothered where stuff comes from as long as it does the trick.

Eve - that's not too disastrous then on your Lib Dem guy. You got anything nice planned for the weekend??

Juice - get you off on your travels again, good luck to you.

Betty - get you delaying boilerman, good for you.

Wouldn't mind a break myself. It's all mad dynamics here with two teens. (Esp ds who is really hard work). Exh keeps banging on about having ds for a week so me and dp can get a break on our own, which is all very well and great of him to offer, except exh's partner is...... rough well I'd be reluctant, I'll just say that lol.

Friday night ritual here, take away curry, mn, telly, and drinkies, oh and my sister usually phones (poor dp) lol .

Hi all!

Havent been on MN for a bit as only just got our internet working properly and have had the week from hell! Fell asleep on the train back from london this afternoon, nearly ended up in sheffield - not that i have anything against the place - I just dont live there!

love the boots KDK! might even get some - i could do with being a bit taller.

Thanks all on here for inspiring me with your dates. Am trying to get out there a bit more. Have just been chatting to another man from GSM, seems really nice so we are going to meet for lunch next weekend.

My other date is still away, but had a really long talk with him before he went as he invited me out again but i couldnt do any of the days he suggested We are going to try to meet up when he gets back.

So who knows, with a bit of luck I might even get 2 dates in the same week

Its my weekend with the kids this week so expecting a quiet time, next weekend I'm out to play!

SingleMum01 · 07/05/2010 20:46

Evening everyone,

kdk - have a great eve, we want details after

Monty - curry mmmm

Juice - forces, yeh!

RAF bloke is sending lots of texts, they're getting a bit too flirty considering we've only had one date . I've made it clear I don't mind a bit of flirty texts but he's not getting his leg over just yet! Asked for date next weekend when he's child free. And to go to function in July. Don't think he's a real player as been texting every evening so can't be out shagging. But still ....

SingleMum01 · 07/05/2010 21:03

where is everyone?

Monty100 · 07/05/2010 21:06

Elasta - blimey, good job you woke up! Good news on the dates.

SM - do you fancy RAF bloke?

I'm feeling smug 'cos I just won this on ebay

You have to scroll down to the bottom . Gosh I'm so easily amused.

good evening

we are having a rocking night where ds2 has begged to pumice mechanics feet

he gets hard skin on his big toes from the steel toe cap boots he has to wear for work

in my bedroom there are currently 2 adults, 3 children and 2 dogs

they have the entire house to amuse themselves yet they are all ensconced on my bed

dd1 is out trawling the pubs with her mate

SingleMum01 · 07/05/2010 21:17

Elasta - well done you

Monty - yes I do! Think I'm gonna struggle to keep control of myself on this one, but don't want to give the wrong impression and blow it

Lou - feet, ew!

Monty100 · 07/05/2010 21:29

Lou - ewwwwwww!

SM - oooooooo I like a romance .

Juice - what you doing tonight?

SingleMum01 · 07/05/2010 21:50

Monty100 · 07/05/2010 21:53

SM - older bloke belongs in your history books lol.

Where is everyone?????

Probably doing real life things .

elastamum · 07/05/2010 21:55

hi Single mum, sounds like you are doing really well there, you are an inspiraton!

SingleMum01 · 07/05/2010 22:08

Thanks Elasta - I think!

thesouthsbelle · 07/05/2010 22:10

sm - honest go for it he looked hot! lol. suggestive texts are ok- but don't automatically think he's after one thing thou - he might actually be one of the good guys.

lou - agree ewwwwww feet!!!

monty - loving that top. how would you feel about a long weekend break or is the partner that bad?

elastmum - sorry you've had a shitty week - 2 dates in 1 day you mean!

eve - well done your man in the know. what are you up to this w.e - hope you've had no more probs.

kdk - agreed love the boots - and deffo nothing wrong with tescos. have fun thou.

juicy - erm med - forces - how who what when?!?! what's happening then?!

betty - have you decided on what to cook for boilerman? don't know if marine does pte lessons - well I do and he does, but we're not talking atm - or at least the lady instructor was giving me daggers so I chose not to talk to him

sin - who have ya been texting then - spill it.

mrsm - that teacher doesn't sound v supportive at all tbh.

lou/juicy - honest that pic of the wedding on my profile- I had support knickers, support tights, support body shapper - there was so much blinking support once I took it all off my body sighed a breath of fresh air & relief! but at 10.5 stone (apparently according to the SW scales) and only 5'2 i'm about 1.5 stone over really.

sponge - sorry to hear your ex is being a nobber.

as for me soldier is being lovely. had a long chat last night again. meeting him for the day in 2 weeks - he's asked to book a hotel for us but i'm not happy with that so said no. fighter - still emailing back & forth. ho hum. bit dark n twisty atm, damn AF.

thesouthsbelle · 07/05/2010 22:11

i'm about but as I say - dark n twisty.

Remotew · 07/05/2010 22:23

DD has a big thing going on tomorrow, if she does it I will be boasting on fb. Needless to say I've been roped in for support and will be up at 4 in the morning.

OMG sorry to be cryptic but think I might see you know who again one fine day but there will be lots of other people around! Better shut up about it all now.

Have a great weekend everyone and good luck to those on dates. Might go out late tomorrow night if DD is safely tucked up in bed. Must repeat 'do not speak to charming strangers'.

lou33 · 07/05/2010 23:02

belle, hush up, you look good, stop with the put downs!

as for his feet, well i dont usually like them, but aside from the big toe hard skin, his are ok, and never ever smell even after 11 hrs in his work boots, so it's not repellent

plus ds2 is so attached to him i think he would do anything for him lol

ninah · 08/05/2010 09:35

kdk? hmmmm?

aSilverLining · 08/05/2010 09:41

Anyone else get weird messages on dating websites?? I am on pof and have had two this very monring and one about a week ago.

One was in incomprehensible text speak, see below:

hiya darl howz u wubu2 like wot i
c u wont to chat send me a msg
hope to here frm u xx

One was just offensive:

What weight are you cos i couldn't stand bein seen in public with an obese wench.
(I am not big and this can be seen by my half a dozen profile pics) Sent him a harsh MN stylee reply then blocked him.

One had a foot fetish and wanted to know what size they where and if I would like tem worshipped.

Entertaining if nothing else!

I have 2 nice guys am chatting to, the most frequent one seems great but am not sure about as have mentioned my son very briefly in passing and he has not asked anything about him, but has asked about other things I have mentioned. My profile is clear that I have a child who spends reglar time with his dad and not to contact me if kids are not your thing. Other guy less frequent messages but seems really nice if a bit shy.

Gonna try to cathc up on thread now, it moves so fast!

ninah · 08/05/2010 09:45

'what IQ are you cos I couldn't be seen in public with a neanderthal bigot' springs to mind
if that's his chat up line imagine the rest
incredible
good you have a couple of normal humans beings in touch too!

ninah · 08/05/2010 09:46

oh and foot man say size 11

Remotew · 08/05/2010 09:48

Silver, I can honestly say that when I had a profile on POF I never got any weirdos message me. Just munters. I know others have on here. KDK in particular, .

At least you have two nice ones to chat to.
