Hi Monty Hi All!

Have been working like a dog this week so not much happening here atm. Have no dates lined up at present but a couple of interesting possibilities. Have been messaging a new man, who sounds really keen, wants me to teach him to sail, which might be a laugh, but unfortunatley I have worked out he lives about 100 miles from me so suspect our sailing date might be a one off!!!

Unfortunately I will be away 2 days this week and 3 days the next so not much prospect of anything as I want to spend the time I do get at home with my kids.

My biggest problem is that I am hardly ever around consistently enough to date anyone even if I did find the right man

Still the sun is shining here and we are planning another excursion into the peaks tomorrow. Lovely views and lots of fit climbers for me to gawp at

Elasta - a woman of many talents then?

Belle - hope you get to see the footie.

Lou - you disorganised? I don't believe you!

uandme - you seem to have lived a very sheltered life.

Found 6 beeeeeayutiful wine buckets glasses in the charity shop for a fiver . They are soooo lovely. My friend was trying to swipe them off me lol. But then I coveted her 6 spotty little coffee cups that she bought while I wasn't looking.

ASBM - where are you? . Sainsbo's has good wine offers today.

Belle - the face pack worked a treat, I now have less pruney a svelte complexion.

Yep, I can do many things, ski, sail, ride a horse, bring up my 2 kids and hold down a big job to support everyone, but i still cant find a fella

uandme · 12/06/2010 20:27

thesouthsbelle...my DC's are 13, 10 and 6. They are all at skool. I'm not working at the mo.

uandme · 12/06/2010 20:31

Lou thanx for pointing me in the right direction. Will give that a go.

Monty- Sheltered more like locked up in a prison...lolll

Thank goodness i found Mumsnet....

lou33 · 12/06/2010 20:31

lol monty, i think you have the wrong impression of me, especially at weekends!

lou33 · 12/06/2010 20:33

i know some people think it is rubbish, but one of the bigger free sites is plentyoffish, i always found it ok, because my profile was v clear about what i did and didnt like, and i didnt reply to everyone just because they had messaged me

i had some good dates from it, and made some friends there too

Monty100 · 12/06/2010 20:34

uandme - how come?

Elasta - I'm sure it will happen.

omg dcs are playing the national anthem on their vuvulzelas

lou33 · 12/06/2010 21:36

what a fucking disappointment with the result

i mean i know green was a butterfingers, but he did make a great save and we should have scored at least once again in the second half

at least they were more entertaining then they used to be under sven i guess...

Monty100 · 12/06/2010 22:36

Lou - oh dear. There'll be better games. They was robbed.

There was a sweepstake at work where you pick a team out of the bag to score the first goal. Well I didn't really pay that much attention but paid me £2, picked a piece of paper out of the bag and out came Engerland! Everyone was . But I don't know what it means! lol.

lou33 · 12/06/2010 22:44

it means you won (unlike us)

and to top it all i just realised i wont even get to watch freddie ljungberg play, because sweden didnt qualify this time ffs

Monty100 · 12/06/2010 22:50

Lou - but I wasn't listening so I don't know what first goal, in what round, what whatever, so I don't know lol.

Ireland didn't qualify either and I love Paccie Boner.

I could drool over Beckham sitting there in that suit all night though. DD was drooling and he's prob old enough to be her father! We have to keep in the spirit of the game. Come on, don't get downhearted.

Ohh, has the football finished?? I had a phone message from new man, lets call him yorkshire, saying he was going to watch the footaball with his sons, so i didnt call him back. He sent me a message at half time saying sorry he misseed me, so I have sent him one back saying we will definately catch up tomorrow.

Maybe should try going sailing after all!!! - if i dont fancy him it will at least be fun and if I want to make him get undressed I could always dump us both in the drink

Monty100 · 12/06/2010 23:18

Elasta - Show him all you know! lol.

lou33 · 12/06/2010 23:22

england scored about 3.5 mins into the first half monty

elasta, make sure you keep a firm grip on his rudder

Monty100 · 12/06/2010 23:27

Lou - I was trying to think of something like that to say lol.

Hmmmm I know they were the first to score in tonight's game, but I don't know how everyone else had different countries and what the sweep exactly entailed iyswim. I won a red nose day thing once, it was £15 prize, and immediately put it back into the collection because I thought that was what it was about, not listening again. Everyone was and thought I was really kind!

Monty...i was talking abt when i was a kid.

My sons both are busy with cricket as the season has started. The most that may happen is they may go and play at a friends house or their friends may come over.

I think bcs i was brought up this way its a little bit difficult to break out and start going out with friends.

Doesn't help having my mum lving just up the road who wouldn't be too plsd. It would just confirm what she thinks of me, 'that i've gone loopy'. Thats why i separated from my hubby and want a divorce.

lou33 · 13/06/2010 11:16

it doesnt matter what your mother thinks, you are an adult and a mother yourself, you have a right to live your own life

uandme · 13/06/2010 12:42

I do try and tell myself that. I have been slowly trying to free myself from her emotionally and mentally. The hold that she had over me. I have come some way and there is more yet to go.

This may sound very very bad and plz God forgive me for thinking this. But i feel that i will only be completely free from her when she passes away. :-((

I don't know why she seemed to and still does feel threatened by me having or being with friends. If i go out on my own then thats ok, but i'm not allowed to be with anyone. Come to think of it she would frown upon me leaving my kids with her even when we were living at her house, to go out and spend some 'own' time with hubby.

lou33 · 13/06/2010 15:56

i dont think it sounds bad, i think it sounds very sad that you feel that will be the only way to feel you can be yourself again
