Where have all the fit, interesting and available men gone? Part 22

[Monty100]

Yay, did I make it to the bar first again??

they have it every year apparently! v competitive
every lawn manicured, and hours spent on these effigies
I was looking for the wicket cage ...
or for one to start moving and the Midsommer Murders music to cut in

place marking until after combat tonight & my weekly ogle (still gotta be done! haha)

hope every one's well & had a good w.e

ugh scarecrow comp sounds quite spooky tbh

there is a village we went to for ds2 football once in Kent - had huge viaduct and lots of hops growing on either side of the road -that was also quite spooky.

Lou that woman sounds totally mad how awful for your dcs.

And Frank is mine - he is my fav - Jamie his cousin pretty buff too

Ninah - hate that sort of patronising comment

I was once hired (for a grad job) as I had not been to top university and seemed willing to do alot of the routine stuff. it was working for a senior partner as their assistant. how patronising was that.

Got over my m & d visit - although I think the events of yesterday sent the boys a bit mmad last night. DS1 decided to tidy the shoe rack at about 9.30 last night - in that sort of manic way.

Actually quite pleased to be at work.

and he just emailed me about some pics of dd2 taken back in november, he says she seems v unhappy and what can "we" do

only trouble is the pics he is talking about were taken in a serious/ghostly way on purpose because she was trying to re enact a most haunted live kind of atmosphere

shame he is a bit slow isnt it

Lou, he's obviously a bit .

I'm wondering why I agreed to meet stallion tonight but it's only an hour out of my life isn't it?

DD has been asked out and this time said yes, first date ever which is pretty good going seeing as she has turned 16. Don't know whether to be pleased for her or scared that she is growing up .

lol at your ex lou!
I would meet him for you eve if it was logistically feasible
anyway am going out with my maths group
hope all goes well for your dd, is he a 'nice boy' eve?
have you offered to double date ....

He seems a good lad, We met him and his parents on a night out with DD so it's all very proper and respectful.

Eve- get yourself out there and meet the Stallion! He sounds lush...just think of all the italian endearments he could be muttering in your ear...I'll go for you too! Relying on body language with an Italian Stallion certainly sounds like a fun night in my book!

Elasta- sounds like you have your hands full with all them fellas! Good for you!

Monty- it sounds like your DC have realised what their dads like, how old are they if you don't mind me asking? DD is 6, and changes between not bothering at all about him, then a few days of missing him lots. Those times are getting more and more rare now, thank god, altough she has this weekend after making a Fathers day card for him at school.

Been waiting in today yet again for police to come round, which they still haven't done. Ex decided to ring me one morning last week at 4.40 am to tell me he was going to come kick my head in- no idea why. Ummed and aahed a bit about what to do as I didn't think he would actually do it, and he is on probation so could possibly mean going back to prison, but put up a thread in relationships and the response was definately report him for it. So I did, but he doesn't know yet as they can't speak to him until they have a statement from me, but they haven't bloody turned up. I've waited in all aft Thursday, all day Sat and all day today, they rang the other days late on and said they couldn't get to me but nothing so far today, and I want to go to my dads for tea. Idiot rang me the same day, after threatening me, to tell me his brother had had his baby- I'm seriously beginning to think he has more than one personality. Obviously I just said I didn't wish to speak to him and hung up, but I'm thinking it might be time to change my home phone number too, and cut off all contact.

Anyway...on a happier note met a REALLY nice fella on sat night. He can be engineer if we don't have one of those already? Or hottie, as he is extremely good looking! He's been texting me for the past 2 days, has added me on fb, and we have arranged a date for sat night

Clara, you have done the right thing reporting him, will stop him doing it again or worse. Sounding good with Engineer.

Waiting to hear what time we are meeting tonight. I'm working tomorrow so I won't be staying out long.

This is a flying visit from me as should be working...however i have no internet at home (Ex cut it off and cant get it reconnected, thanks virgin media!) so hello to everyone, will try and catch up properly when i have more than 5 mins!

Clara, as someone who has been through similar with their Ex, I agree you did the right thing in reporting him. I report every 'incident' with mine now, so there is a clear log of everything he gets up to. and at least you have a date on sat to look forward to!

eve - enjoy tonight, at worst its a couple of hours out of your evening. And he might be nice (although being part italian myself I've never gone for italian men - either too hairy, or very much mummy's boys lol. will try and give you a few phrases for next time if I can remember any, my italian is v rusty!)

no real progress yet with wedding man, but I have realised how much I miss the initial euphoria of meeting someone you really fancy, and wondering if they might be interested will keep you posted if there are any developments!

Sponge I will reserve the request for learning phrases until after I have actually met him. I've never been out with an Italian in my life. He doesn't look too hairy on the profile pic, hair doesn't look really dark.

Nice that you have met someone you really fancy, it doesn't happen every day.

hi everyone just place marking at moment, hope you all ok, will catch up properly on wednesday hopefully

Sponge-it's a fab feeling isn't it? I'm loving it! Has wedding man been in touch yet?Do you talk to him about other things apart from the legal things you were helping him with?

Eve- hopefully your out now and enjoying yourself with him, hope it goes well for you!

Hi Aurora! And anyone else I may have missed!

right have to go ladies, sorry i couldn't chat more :/ 'see' you wednesday xx

Hi ladies, sorry I havent posted for a while have been lurking but with being ill last week and then work havent really felt like posting. Everything is still lovely with bf had a lovely day out sat at a farm with all 3 dc's, my 2 and his little girl all fine in that dept so far too!

Eve-Have fun on ur date! Look foward to hearing about it!

Clara-Engineer sounds nice, so did you meet him on a night on the town? My dd1 is 6 too, and is the same about her dad, wont mention him for weeks (he is in forces and away a lot) then all of a sudden will go through a few days of crying saying she misses him. I just comfort her when she does get upset, cant really do much else.

Ninah - how did you get on at school today??

Eve - looking forward to hearing about your date!

Clara - report report report until he stops doing it. DCs are 14.6 and 16.11 so yes they have the measure of him by now.

Hi Aurora Betty Lou Belle ASBM Sponge Elasta Janos SCL SM Kdk (stranger) PMG and everybody else!

yes where is Eve? an hour or so .. and the rest bellisima
monty no one mentioned ANYTHING at school today. Not even, I'll get back to you. Some of the bitchier tas gave me 'the look', and I am sure things have been said BEHIND my back. But they are having a staff meeting tonight, so we'll see. Meantime I have put my concerns in writing with a request for a written response.
tonight was an eye opener! my maths lot are a mixed bunch. One of them moaned about immigants and one started on people on benefits having kids to get a house. Woooo
and there was some fox hunting talk
one I we debated with in a civilised way
one will never speak to me again

they all agreed India was 'dirty'
what the whole continent??? jeeeze
'oh yes i like the history and culture but I prefer 5 star accomodation'
I said, that's a bit bland, what do you do ask them to send you up a 'native' with a translator
lucky we were all driving or it could have been a brawl

sorry betty meant to say glad all good with you and bf, hope you are on the mend now

Ninah - holy shit, it was definitely a good thing there was no strong ale being imbibed then. I would have been out of there in 5.

Hope something positive has been borne from this evening's meeting at school.

Eve - are ya back yet??

But monty I keep meeting them
is the countryside full of them??? I never used to meet them, I need to move back to London

Ninah - some (and I say some) countryside folk people are just not that socially aware sometimes . Is that the biggest fattest euphism you've heard all day? . Probably not, but....

No, you don't want to move back to London, it is getting harder and harder, believe me.

where is she??? it's nearly midnight eve! now I know it's the longest day and all (even I forgot the time what with it being so light and all that arguing)
but I mean, YOU popped out for 'an hour', and were grudging sparing poor stalliano that much
know what i bet she's having a fab date I do hope so

Ninah, that sounds like such a fun night!Haha, did you argue about it with them, or did you just do the nodding uncommitedly thing? Sometimes I think it's just not worth the effort, some people are never going to listen to you anyway.

Betty- isn't it sad that people who we once loved could do this to our babies? I think that's one of the worst things about it for me, the fact that it was someone who I thought I could trust, and he is doing this to my lovely girl Bastard.

Eve-hope it went well!

Monty- did your Ikea canvas look nice? I've never been to Ikea, im very !

Been talking to engineer on fb for the past 2 hrs, we have a date tomorrow night, yay!

You see that's where i go wrong clarabella i just can't shut up I have to confront it and you're right it's pointless
one of the women was OK - eg whn she was complaining about the families with '47 kids by god knows how many fathers' moving into social housing in her road and I pointed out she was making assumptions, she said yes she was
the other was beyond reach
when I said have to go, babysitter, you could see the penny dropping
clara yay with engineer, good luck with your date
eve. ahem!
better get ready for work I suppose.
