Where have all the fit, interesting and available men gone? Part 23

[Monty100]

These threads are finishing faster and faster!

As you were.

I am wondering how this pie i have made will turn out seeing as i did it dosed up on valium and diclofenic.

ASBM - oh dear, bring the tissues.

Lou - how was pie? Are you feeling ok?

The pie was good amazingly. I have a trapped nerve in my back that came on last night.

scl your dm just rained on my bedroom parade there
single and funky I was thinking
loadsa floor space rugs candles
with a metal day bed going on for the semi vertical
I certainly wasn't thinking candlwick and a nice hot water bottle
lou are you going back to gp? ??
that is a naggy ? btw

asbm the y6 stuff in our school brought tears to my eyes and I am not a Y6 parent
good luck to ds, it's such a milestone
we watched their play and they were so innocent and young it really did me in actually

I think their little goodbye shows are designed to reduce even the hardest to tears lol. Aww.

It is a milestone. They grow up really fast from here on in.

Well, most do (calls to ask 14.6 ds if he's brushed his teeth yet).

I went this afternoon, hence the valium and diclofenic

many thanks
i'm choked tbh
he has grown up quickly due to our circs but it's what lies ahead that is the prob

Lou - have the tablets worked?

ASBM - I wish I had words of comfort.

Ninah - rofl at your boudoir image.

AsBM it's tough isn't it when they leave primary.

They have helped yes

Ds1 leaves juniors this term too

Leaving primary school is a major milestone, secondary school seemed to fly by. Glad DD is staying on. I'm not ready for her to leave yet.

i could handle this alot better if he was going to the right school not the borstal that the LEA have given him
has dd started her new job yet eve?
monty thankyou for the sympathy email have replied

Oh sorry ASBM, I didn't realise about the school. I really hope it works out for him, is there a chance of moving him if it doesn't. I'm sure there are some nice kids who do well in any school.

Yes she has started at the cafe and at the care home this week. Care home only pays expenses but that is good as she has to get a taxi.

place markign again, sorry. i hope to catch up properly tomorrow

eve that sounds fantastic i bet all the residents will absolutely love her
the school situ is totally pants,i went down the appeal route but they refused to admit any more children so he remains on the waiting list
i fear for him i really do, he was targetted on his induction days so god only knows what will happen in sept

Yeah, I too am attending Y6 leaving assembly tomorrow as it's my DS2's last day at juniours. Sorry to hear ASBM about the school situation, it's always a worry going to a new school even if it's the school you want them to goto, all you need is a few bad-eggs to make your DC's school life misserable.

ASBM and for your DS. Fingers crossed he gets to the top of the waiting list. That's the one worry we didn't have living in a rural area. Only comps which arn't too bad.

hello all, still no internet at home but might sort out a new laptop this weekend (FINALLY!) so will be back more regularly from next week with luck

have only skimmed thread so cant say too much but...

asbm re your DS and his school. I hope you have some luck re the waiting list for a better school. I sympathise - my DS1 is just coming to the end of Y7, he missed out on the grammar school by 1 mark and our appeal was rejected - was told by the LEA not to bother pursuing it and just take the school we were given. The school concerned has a horrendous reputation and about 33% achieve 5 gcses A-C On a positive note DS1 (possibly because he is very amiable but also a big strong boy for his age) hasnt had any issues with bullying etc. I have however noticed he is much more rough and tough than last year, and v v stroppy/argumentative - but that could be his age. The other thing is the school appear entirely disinterested in helping him achieve anything more than the average, which I find v sad. in the short term though I suppose I am thankful that he enjoys school, but I worry long term that he will end up under-achieveing (and as I was always an overachiever academically this concerns me a lot)

sorry for rambling on at length. on the man front no progress with wedding man as yet. he is ridiculously attractive and am not sure we go together! was watching BB the other day and when Josie said of John James 'Men like him don't look at girls like me in that way' I knew exactly how she felt. it won't stop me trying, but am prepared for disappointment

Ds1 starts the same school i took dd2 out of to home ed, even tho it is generally a good school, fingers crossed i dont have to do it again

Hi everyone, hope you don't mind but in going to have a whinge.

Today is my 25th birthday. I have spent it at home, alone all day and just me and DD this evening. I recieved about 8 cards altogether. I'm just feeling rather bleeurgh about it all. I finished things with engineer last week, and I even thought earlier maybe I should have kept him for another week just to have someone be nice on my birthday...but it was only a fleeting thought, I promise! I wouldn't really do that! Now ex is texting, asking if I would like to meet up tomorrow, again this is a REALLY bad idea, I know this. I WILL say no. But it's nice to have someone offer. God, why am I even tempted for a minute by this?

I am happy to be single/dating around most of the time, but I've felt bloody lonely and unloved today. Gah.

Oh well, whinge over, sorry to unload myself on you all! I'm going to go catch up on all of your news, and comment properly. I just needed to get it off my chest. Thanks!

Right, heres the nice, happy me back again.

Eve, how did DD enjoy her 1st shifts? Can be a bit scary at first but I hope she enjoys her first go at working.

ASBM, I'm sorry to hear your not happy with DS school, hopefuly when he does start he won't have problems. If you do have to pull him out, would you still be able to keep him on the waiting list for your choice of school?

Sponge, don't be putting yourself down with regards to wedding man. Stop thinking of yourself in a bad way and putting yourself down, I bet your a fox

Lou, hope your tablets have kicked in! Sorry to hear your in pain though

Hope everyone else is doing well, hi to whiteandnerdy, and anyone else around!

I have Zac Efron on to cheer myself up

Clara, happy birthday to you. Just read this. It's mine next week and I am just under twice your age. Remember thinking I was getting on at 25. lol. I wasn't and you are a baby with lots of life in front of you.

I can see how you might be tempted to find someone to share your birthday with, go ahead and get spoilt, nothing wrong with that.

Clara - happy birthday to you and glad you're feeling a bit better. There's always pressure to be doing that something special on these sort of days. Have you planned anything for the weekend? As Eve says, you're still a young 'un with so much to look forward to.

Eve - Are you doing anything for yours next week?

Sponge - looking forward to you getting a laptop.

Nothing to report here, just still tired and in need of a break. Oh and the stupid cat is pg and I've realised she's due in about 10 days which means there'll be stupid kittens in the house and I might not be able to get away until they're homed.

Hope everyone is ok.

Monty, finish work tomorrow for 11 days, just relaxing at home, treating myself at the shops which is well overdue. Got a local thing going on at the weekend and off to a festival, camping for 3 days next weekend. That's enough excitement for me.
