OK, I emailed on fb saying:

'Hi *** can I ask you to take the pictures of my Mother and Father down, I feel it is inappropriate as they are not exactly around to agree to it. Thanks'

Couldn't help the slight slant of sarcasm therein.

OK, she's messaged back really apologetic, and it turns out she has the originals, not from my dsis fb at all!!!! So I've asked her for the originals.

She's in her late 30's it was a brief brief marriage to my dn 15 years ago!! WTF???? He lives in Russia or somewhere now and has lived in many countries since!!

Sorry.

Monty - he's very open about past relationships - and maybe I just don't want to know!

Aurura - don't worry you haven't offended me. It's not particularly bad stuff he's telling me.

I feel for the bloke, he can't do right for doing wrong with me!

SingleMum01 · 11/06/2010 16:52

Sorry - hi to everyone, that was a bit rude of me!

thesouthsbelle · 11/06/2010 16:56

monty - not surprised you're upset.

sponge/pmg sorry to hear you're both suffering with your ex's. but both of you keep up the fighting spirit thou will be worth it in the long run.

betty - glad all is well with you & BF, sorry to hear job is being over worked thou.

monty - yeah tried that and well - we I ended up getting the ass and being a 'man' about him being the girl and not putting out bloody men! dont' they know that when a woman wants it it's meant to be there! (am joking btw!) he brought me some lush today - however now feel awful as had the boot been on the other foot i'd have been upset at him for getting the ass at me not putting out. althou he's now said that he reserves the right to do that once now as I did it - fairs fair I guess.

Juicy - how was BF/did you email the job thing, sorry about msn last night, I would email again and ask if you could have another shot at it this year - say you understand it might not be an option but should person drop out you'd be ready and waiting sort of a thing.

Anyhow how is everyone today?

pirate/blondie/ninah/lou/araura/kdk. big waves hello.

uandme · 11/06/2010 18:24

I was thinking about starting something like this...Sorry i'm new to MN.
As the title states 'Where Have All The Fit Guys Gone?'
I have been searching around for days!!!!

thesouthsbelle · 11/06/2010 18:32

no prob, how are you? where have you been looking?

uandme · 11/06/2010 18:41

Out and about really, wherever i go. I am on the lookout.

Janos · 11/06/2010 22:17

Aw Monty - you ok with things now?

Had a lovely meal out with a friend, setting the world to rights. Much needed as colleagues partic irritating today.

Off to bed for an early one

lou33 · 11/06/2010 23:05

Evening. I am just off to bed. Ds2 has sneaked in for the night too lol. Dp is on a boys night out hopefully enjoying himself.
He just sent me a message saying how much he loved me and missed both myself and the kids, and couldnt wait to see us again. I am pretty sure he is a bit pissed but know he means it too, tho may just save the text as evidence!

I obviously wont relay all of it, but I dont think I have had something so lovely said to me before.

(Insert huge grin here)

sincitylover · 11/06/2010 23:56

I'll do it for you that's lovely - underneath my hard shell I am a big romantic softie at heart.

sincitylover · 12/06/2010 00:07

it's so lovely when people say nice things.

I'm feeling very happy atm - not sure why but it's nice.

hatesponge · 12/06/2010 01:28

lou - how lovely of DP

scl - happy is good. I get those random happy feelings sometimes, no reason for it, i just try to enjoy them while they last & before am back to my usual fed up state!

Am just back from colleagues wedding. Had a great time, and met someone who rather obviously - well to me at least - was attracted to me. Nothing will come of it I expect (for various reasons), but was a nice end to a v long week!

thesouthsbelle · 12/06/2010 07:43

sponge don't be so quick to dismiss it!!

Lou - aww that's really sweet of him.

u & me - have you been single for long?

sin - agree you should enjoy those moments when you can!

ok... random email last night from marine - bit and wondering if it would be right to reply stating 'I couldn't wait around for ya forever, so take a ticket & get to the back of the line!' Off out with soldier tonight - YAY! our 'our time' date night! .

uandme · 12/06/2010 10:16

thesouthsbelle, it will bea year next month. I had been married for 13yrs before we separated. It would have been 14yrs if we were still together. Ours was an arranged marriage so i have no previous experience of dating etc...its taken me this much tie to call it a day and realiose that there is no hope for us anymore. Prob bcs he was my 1st and i believed he would be my last.
Could anyone give me any tips on how to meet someone. As i am a stay at home mum at the moment. I only get out of the house while the kids r @ skool, to do what i need to do. At that sort of time i think the guys r prob working or whatever.
Hey enjoy the date. Is it a first date?

lou33 · 12/06/2010 12:35

dp turned up and ds2 would not let him go for about an hour, so i had to wait for my turn to say hello

uandme, have you tried any online dating sites?

uandme · 12/06/2010 14:16

Lou..i haven't tried te dating sites. Sorry to sound like a bit of a dimwit but ho does it work? And is it safe? Thanx...

Monty100 · 12/06/2010 14:24

Hello everybody, just checking in while I have a spa facepack on my chops . Well, you've got to try and haven't you.

Uandme - where are you geographically?

Belle - enjoy your date.

Sponge - did you exchange nos??? Sounds exciting.

SCL - long may it last!

Ninah - when is bbq?

Eve - any plans this weekend apart from revision?

Juice - did you send email to interviewers?

Hi to everyone else, where's Pirate?

Monty i'm in London..

Monty100 · 12/06/2010 15:13

Uandme - have you been trying online? Do you go out socially with friends at all?

Well, I'm off out for a mooch round the shops .

OP posts:
uandme · 12/06/2010 15:45

i'm on facebook thats abt it. I'm afraid i don't go out with friends at all. I'd love to go out on girls nights out. Not that i have ever even as a teenager. I come from a very strict family. Its not the sort of thing i was allowed to do. Come to think of it having friends was not something i was allowd to do fullstop. Sad really.

But now i would like to try things that i wasn't allowed to do previously. I wanna let my hair down and enjoy myself.
Maybe a few one night stands.....lollll

thesouthsbelle · 12/06/2010 18:06

u & me - na you don't wanna do that - well you might but you'd prob feel worse after lol. OK ref the getting out thing how old are your DC's? do you get much opportunity to get out with them to toddler groups (if young enough) or if a bit older do you work at all - that's always a good way to increase a social life - A few of the girls here are from London - if you wanted to come to the meet ups they randomly have (sure the london gals won't mind) ref the dating thing - on facebook they have a thing called zoosk you could try online dating is a good way I find, other than that you could do something like joining a gym - or take up a hobby - or course or something? no ours isn't a first date tonight.

monty - how was the face packs thing?

Lou - LMAO @ your DS2.

well am sat awaiting soldier's arrival am not expecting him soon as he's been working at a fete today - so all hopes of getting out in time to watch kick off are rapidly diminishing still not to worry - there's the second half.

lou33 · 12/06/2010 18:23

i am trying to work out how to get dinner sorted whilst watching england, i have not been organised enough to prepare in advance today

uandme, i would recommend trying a free online dating site, and see how you go

you can put a pic online with a profile saying what you like and dont, what you are looking for in terms of dating (casual, long term etc), and set out the type of man you do or dont like

dont put any details on like your real name though, but i am sure you know that

then when you get some replies, you can decide if any of them are interesting enough to you, and have a chat via the site email service and see how it progresses

if you like someone enough after a bit you could start talking on msn, and maybe from there arrange to meet for lunch one day

i think it's always better to meet in the day initially, as it makes the date shorter and less intense, because an evening one can go on longer (school pick up time or the end of their lunch break ensures a day time one wont drag on)

hth and good luck
