evening everyone...have the internet back (Ex being nice...well for 5 mins at least anyway!) the weather is fab and a good result in the footie

all in all, this is shaping up to be a pretty good week - and did I mention I have a very fit man coming to my house on Friday?

thesouthsbelle · 24/06/2010 08:08

hi all, big wave, been about just a bit out of sorts & mardy. (AF due) ds has cracked his head open monday - the joy so missed my ogle. things still going well with soldier.

what's happening here then?

aseriouslyblondemoment · 24/06/2010 14:18

ouch
how's the little man doing now belle?

aurorastargazer · 24/06/2010 16:21

belle - ouch how is he now?

everyone - do we believe sponge about it being 'professional'?

i was right about x - i asked him about the maintenance yesterday, thought it was quite a civil conversation even though i was a little bit at him, he basically blamed csa and that he is paying them £110. phoned them today. he was only paying them £10 per fortnight so is nearly £200 short. about the amount for his dirty weekend surfing trip to ilfracombe - coincidence
he was blaming csa and they said today that we have tried to contact him numerous times, he has made a card payment today and set up a dd (suprise (sp?), suprise). if he defaults again he gets something similar to an attachment order on his insurance number. wouldn't suprise me if he then deliberatley 'lost', sorry walked out of his job to avoid paying in future

aurorastargazer · 24/06/2010 16:24

sorry, i don't know where my manners are at all today
hi everyone, hope you're all ok today

Hi everyone sorry for disappearing (again) but it's been a really fraught and knackering couple of days (v little sleep 3 nights running) and to top it all off been ill today with horrible migraine and had to take the day off sick.

DS bless him has been a star and is now away with his Dad for a long weekend so I plan to get as much r & r as poss in preparation for the next onslaught of childcare/work/money issues.

I will do a proper catch up when I have some more time!

Thanks as well lou for your suggestion about the cash point, I phoned up the bank and they said the money will be credited back to my a/c - if it's not been taken by some thieving shitebag that is.

I'm not sure I actually have time for men what with all this going on but just wanted to mark my place!

Janos · 24/06/2010 21:04

Oh belle just seen about your poor wee DS. How is he?

DS had an awful concussion last year, at his birthday party of all places, but he recovered ok. It's so scary seeing them like that isn't it.

Aurora - I feel you pain. Talking of maintenance, my XP has offered £25 a month. He has paid his arrears but think that's probably my lot!

uandme · 24/06/2010 22:27

Hi everyone.
I have recently taken the plunge and put myself up on a dating website, with my real details and photo.
I just wanted to see what sort of men i would find with the following profile.
I would just like to hear the opinions of my wise MN'ers of what they think of my profile.

Thanks guys.

I am an emotionally strong, straight forward, sincere, compassionate and genuine person. Who believes a great deal in spirituality, rather than materialism. I like to believe that i am in tune with my spiritual side and would prefer someone who is also.
I enjoy a laugh. I am a very practical person who is also a romantic at heart.

I would prefer someone who is more similar to me than different, so we have loads in common.
Someone i can have an intelligent conversation with. I absloutely detest hypocrites and those with double standards.

Monty100 · 24/06/2010 23:03

Aurora - you norty girl .

Belle - how's ds?

Sponge - you exp being nice?

Uandme - sounds fine to me. Good luck.

Hi everyone else.

DS has his gcse tomorrow. Cross fingers everyone.

hi mont
and yes everything crossed as always
u and me can't see your pics or profile but tbh i wouldn't use any negatives in a profile
it doesn't sit well iykwim
keep it upbeat then weed out the crap

Monty100 · 24/06/2010 23:24

Hi ASBM - I'm still drafting a message lol. . You doing good?

DS wants to get up at 6am. I so don't think that's going to fix it. (Well it won't fix me anyway lol).

hi Everyone, Not been around for a bit so will need to read to catch up. Not much happening here.

Kids are away this weekend but I have a mountain of stuff to do round the house so planning a quiet w/e.

Traveller still away, but teacher has been in touch and sent me some lovely e mails telling me all about himself, so hoping to catch up with him at least on the phone this w/e. He seems rather nice and is also quite good looking so fingers crossed [grin}

Remotew · 25/06/2010 11:05

Help, can I have some advice. I was going to give Stallion another chance with a second date at I was unsure last time. He works late most nights but lives very close by, so wants to see me tonight after he finishes work instead of waiting until we can have a proper date. The only option is to go to his which could be risky, I don't know him well enough. Coupled with the fact that his need for contact is OTT!

Think I will text and put him off for tonight but suggest meeting on his night off. WWYD?

elastamum · 25/06/2010 13:24

I would only go to someones house or invite them to mine if I feel comfortable with them. I see it as a trust thing, you dont invite people into your home unless you trust them. If he was too full on then I wouldnt go to his house as it is easy for that move to be misinterpreted as you being 'up for it' which if nothing else can make for an uncomfortable conversation. I am always really up front about where i am coming from. If a guy just wants a no strings shag then no problem, but i am not the girl for him

Monty100 · 25/06/2010 14:00

Eve - don't go to his if you're not comfortable about it, it might be intuitive. Also agree with Elastamum, he might read it wrong, and also won't it be quite late when he finishes? Would seem a bit wrong imo.

There's no rush anyway (well, there might be for him), put him off.

Elasta - I have so much sodding housework to do this weekend. .

Going to a bbq/football thingie on Sunday, best get my skates on tomorrow.

if you arent 100% sure about it, dont go eve

if he gets the hump then he will have to live with it

Remotew · 25/06/2010 14:15

Compiling the text now.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 25/06/2010 15:07

hi eve!
agree with the others
think he's a bit full-on anyhow from what you've said
see him only on your terms and at a time that suits you if he's not happy then he can go do one!!
janos meant to say that i was relieved to hear that you're being credited with the money..it's almost restored my faith in banks!
mont grrr...i'm filling up the machine endlessly today am dreading doing the ironing of it all in this heat
did think about you when france were knocked out
and pmsl that those prima donnas were sent home by economy class too

Monty100 · 25/06/2010 15:11

ASBM - yeah, served the f*ers right! Was delighted.

I have been cheering on Eng-er-lund tho!

Eve - go on, what did you say??

OP posts:
aseriouslyblondemoment · 25/06/2010 15:14

nowt to cheer tho really is there

Monty100 · 25/06/2010 15:53

Well, it wasn't too bad Wednesday, not the same without Becks to perv at cheer on.

Know how you feel about the ironing. I only iron when ds needs uniform doing. He has three trousers and about 8 shirts so I only do it every couple of weeks.

Dd's at home today, I asked her to do a couple of washloads and she almost had a hissy fit! Litte mare. She's sunbathing!

OP posts:
Monty100 · 25/06/2010 16:43

Well, this is a bit of a hoot. I've just spoken to ds who said he 'did sick in that exam'.

He says he's confident he got at least a B.

Time will tell, that's all I can say. Time will tell.
