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

[Monty100]

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

kdk - I think you were ment to gasp with excitement, go weak at the knees and exclaim -

F*ck, so I got it wrong again - no wonder I'm such a failure with the male of the species! D'you think I should write back and tell him his choice of car made me tremble and can I come and fiddle with his gearstick?

I think you should and tell us the reply. honestly as if you'd be impressed by it!!!

kdk tell him you've got a porsche
thanks for advice belle and juicy, and I agree with you tbh
I have already cut right down on meetings where this ds is involved.
do you think I should mention it, though?
For a long time I just felt quite sorry for the boy, he is obv v insecure etc
but there are manners, and his have got worse largely because his father lets it go, which is really what riles me. I guess if the dad is blind to the lack of manners mentioning anything is pointless? He does know I am not happy but not why
it's an awkward one, even with female friends dc - all the dc I am used to are much younger and can be told off!
his brother is great btw, but now lives with his mum, poss due to older boy being so possessive of his father
oh, and I remember my dc's half brother at this age - we did have a few tiffs mainly him wanting to put Nuts in my shopping trolley but he was polite, and likeable

I would just for a laugh but he is such a bleeding munt and looks the type that would take it seriously ...

Evening everyone,

I'm shattered, went to a party last night and drank way too much, still suffering.

Ex turned up with car after all!

Blue - jury's still out, there are a few red flags and I don't think its going to lead anywhere, so have decided to keep my options open for now. See how it goes over the next 2 weeks and decide whether to stay or go.

Juice - he hasn't been intimate with her, don't know if that makes a difference. It does bother me

Belle - I have insecurities about everyone unfortunately

sm - it would bother me too. i just think there is certain situations you shouldn't put yourself in if you are serious about someone else.

ninah - whatever happened with thai farmer??

belle - i had a nice wkd with rochester.

whoever asked (think it was ninah).. ex is here .. for now.. but going back to thai in a few weeks by looks of it.

thai f was flaky, just kept sending me his picture - was tempted to send one back of elderly neighbour cos he has no idea how I look
but i get you!
and yes it was me asked about ex glad he is back for now anyway
and mr rochester
sm it would bother me too, better not to try to pretend otherwise

well i bottled talking about it
he came round but I sent him away cos i have exam tomorrow
all affectionate and reeking of aftershave grrrr
i hate doing 'the talk'
can wait til after exams anyway

ninah - whens your exams? you ready for them?

one is tomorrow one on Friday
as you can see I'm revising like mad
seriously though I did a practice paper every night over half term and am at the stage where I can take NO MORE
maths gcse - my 5th attempt

actually I ought to go to bed really
and count sheep
or do some kind of probability study on them
night all

evening

belle, i enjoyed erotica, but i think you need to have someone who has the same frame of mind iyswim

i went in the day and it wasnt that busy, and most people were dressed in their normal clothes, but by the time we left about 5ish (with massively painful feet , and because i had to get back to the kids) it was v v busy and more people were in costume befitting the theme

it was a really good atmosphere, loads and loads of stalls to peruse and buy lovely things, plenty of places to eat and drink and also regular shows for everyone to watch for free, as well as paying a few quid if you wanted to go watch the male "strippers" tho they only got down to their shorts

everyone was really friendly, we had a really good laugh, and noone was being a pervy old bastard because everyone there knew that wasnt what it was about , and they had good security anyway making sure everyone behaved

i am trying to persuade dp to go this year

they do have a ball/club night after the day event at a different venue which is less mainstream, but you have to pay extra and order the tickets

that is run by torture garden i believe, but we didnt go to that, tho someone i know did, but i wouldnt bother asking his opinion

ninah, tbh my oldest is 18 and still not too old to be told off imo, and if any of mine behaved like that to a friend or partner , it would be the one and only time, let's say

he needs to take charge and put him straight, and tear a strip off him

as for making you sit in the back..... wtf is he thinking?!!

you should definitely have it out with him, though god knows why you should have to, he should know it isnt right ffs

sm01 i think you probably need more info about the situation, but if it doesnt make you feel comfortable i would say listen to your own feelings

i would ask outright about it all if it were me, and decide from his response

i dont have a problem with partners being in touch with an ex, but i think it would depend on how the relationship had been and how recently it had ended iyswim

dp knows i am still in touch with lb, but not regularly, the odd fb message, text or call, and he is ok about it, BUT it was a bit too odd for both of us when he invited us to his for dinner, because he was the last person i dated before dp, and the idea was just too weird for both of us right now

no idea who aurora is either

thanks lou! you are right and I will speak to him after this exam is out of the way
last time I took a gcse was in the early 80s and even though I know I am as ready as i can be, I am effing petrified
send me mathematical brain waves at 1.30 please!

ninah - best of luck! If it's any consolation, if I can't find or trace evidence of having passed maths o'level which I did back when the dinosaurs roamed the earth I'm going to have to do maths gcse as well as you need minimum core skills to teach ... help!

Righto.

I really need to catch up on the thread and what's going on!

After my awful experience with last ex, and some soul searching, I have decided to jump back into the dating pool.

My confidence did take a huge knock but I'm feeling pretty good right now so right time to try I think. I've joined up with soulmates (can't afford any more than one month), there seem to be some really nice guys in my area.

Anyway have to rush off as million and one things to do today and DS demanding my attention.

I will come back and do a proper catch up, promise!

good luck ninah!

hi janos

and good afternoon everyone

hi all just popping in before the school run. (work from home most Mondays)

No news on dating front other than I seem to have similar experience to kdk. A right line up of oddballs seem to contact me.

But not to worry am really so busy with work and dcs at weekends not much time for much else. Getting up at 7 on sundays kills the weekend for me. Exh took him yesterday but I still had to drive to collect. I tried to drop off exh at nearest station but he ended up having a lift all the way back to his.

Have booked a holiday - one week in Menorca first week of school hols going with my dcs and RL friend and her son.

Have deleted exbf from phone again after sending him text saying 'def going to stop as you don't want to know' This time I must stick to it.

Stalker has stopped contact and I discovered he met someone else (similar status to me- he prob preys on lps) but that all went wrong - he published full details online and was then threatened with legal action.

kdk good luck with exam. Wves to everybody - back later.

mrsmh!

Afternoon everyone

SCL - soh syndrome again! Lucky you working at home. And at holiday.

First day back today after a week, I must have completely detached as I felt I'd been away for ages, even the commute was sort of surreal, it was most odd.

Aurora - hope you're ok. Nice name!

I want to change mine but can't think of anything. I must get on to it.

Good luck to everyone who is sitting exams/revising/studying.

Yes Monty I would spontaneously combust if I had to commute in 5 days per week I think!

SCL - whereabouts in Menorca are you going? I came back on Friday - its lovely

punta primo - where did you go?

prima Doh!!!
