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

[Monty100]

These threads are finishing faster and faster!

As you were.

They could always all come back and chat about food/clothes/holidays instead.

Lou - he'd do anything for you .

Eve - did he not come back??

Ninah - I do it all the time too but 75p was a snip!

Monty, yes only briefly.

Eve - and grrr.

Monty it was OK as it was an impromptu visit, midweek and I wanted to go to bed alone.

Monty i am beginning to think you are right about dp. I think i have the best bf ever tbh!

lol @ eve and FWB
least you're not taking the bait and like ninah i wouldn't be won over by echo falls either!
dd sounds as tho she's having a great summer you must be really proud of her and i do hope that you're taking full credit for it too
would dp actually do a charity jump lou?
iirc if you can guarantee to raise x amount think it's about 10k then you can jump with the red arrows
can you just picture ds2's face if he did lol
am loving all these food bargains...you can tell it's the LP's forum!
god knows how people afford to buy half the amount i see in trollies at the supermarket hence why i have to cook from scratch too as i think my 3 have hollow legs!
and yes not much dating activity going on on this thread atm
there's not much to report when you're coupled up is there?
so i guess that means that we'll be watching all you singletons from the marital sofa!!!

ASBM - I've only got one buttock on the marital sofa atm.

Yep, cooking from scratch is so much cheaper, and healthier too. It's needs must with the shortcuts with me sometimes though.

mont i'm quite sure that if al rocks up with a few bottles of your fav tipple then you'll be firmly plonked back down on it lol

yeh he would, though i dont know about raising 10k lol

ASBM - rofl. I'm not a cheap date ya know.

Right am off a bit early to face the commute . Our 'seniors' have been on leave this week so it's been dandy.

Friday tomorrow .

i just remembered a story that would confirm dp would indeed do anything for me

he told me one time he was off for an evening out with his mates, so i jokingly showed him this

and he very seriously and very sweetly asked where did he sign

obviously i never meant it, couldnt think of anything worse than telling your oh what they could or couldnt do on a night out, but....awwwww!

and in case you wonder if there is one for women, it is here

hello all
had v quiet day here, bit of gardening
I've never got on particularly well with our neighbours - recently they have become friendly with another family which includes a boy ds likes at school
his mother just parked outside my house and the boys were playing footie, her son kicked a ball near the car and when she started to get mad with him blamed ds, so she called ds a little shit he came in crying
not feeling up to the full scale brawl which seems to be her style I have parked my own car across so that they will have to find another space, I don't mind the screetching, hooting the horn etc but that was a step too far for me
no playdates there I fear
ds had a horrible time at school this year and i think the root of it is next door's son instigating a bit of nasty bullying - don't know what to do to make things better for him short of move school

Ninah, what an awful woman, poor DS. I'm not sure I could contain myself in the situation but probably best to avoid confrontation. Calm down and have a glass of something and give DS a big cuddle.

Lou - I like it.

Ninah - blimey, she doesn't sound particularly pleasant. A wide berth indeed. Some people .

All quiet here, got in from work nice and early and had 40 winks. I have a headache now tho. I haven't cooked as no-one is here. Al doing his garden, dd working and has already eaten, and ds skateboarding and will have already eaten rubbish probably. Hmmmm.

ninah that all sounds v upsetting and stressful for you both

i am not sure what i would do tbh

i veer from trying to rise above it and reel myself in, to turning into a fishwife and giving a mouthful, neither really makes me feel any better afterwards tho

some people are just dragged up not brought up

luckily here that kind of thing is really rare, but when we lived in luton i had more run ins, esp with the family next door to us, particularly the father

he was a complete prick , the whole family, kids included were a pita, but he was the worst

I've been here 20 years.

In the last couple of years 3 families with teens have moved in. The girl next door has always been really sweet. A couple of weeks ago she was sitting outside on the wall with two others talking and laughing really loudly. The windows were all open because it was hot and I heard some glass smashing, so I went out to the bin just before bedtime and I asked her really nicely to keep it down, you should have heard her!! It was like that sketch from Catherine Tate. Her mum was on holiday at the time. I really don't like confrontation, it's quite disturbing. The two boys with her were lovely! One came up to me and apologised and turned round to tell her he was going home lol.

Hi everyone, sorry I've not posted for a bit, I do lurk but havent really had much to report other than things are still going well. My dc's are with their dad this week on hols so it has been nice having the house to myself but a bit too quiet at times, luckily I have had bf to keep me busy

Sp where have all the single dating ladies gone? I see Eve, scl and Ninah are here, but not sounding too bothered about dating. Come on we need some excitement through you lot lol

And hi Monty, Asbm and Lou, all still nicely on the sofa then

Ninah-sorry to hear about the neighbours, I have never got on with mine either they are right ignorant twunts!

Hi Betty, glad it's going well.

I try to avoid confrontation but if anyone called DD, wow betide them, when she was younger. Fortunatley we don't have problems around here. My immediate neighbours were/are lovely, apart from being christian who I guessed dissaproved of my single mum status and my smoking etc, each to their own. They moved out and rent it as a holiday home so new ones every week. My ex neighbours girls who are both around DD's age have been a handful. Funny old world, isn't it?

Beeeettttyyyy!
Glad things are going well. You must keep us posted tho. It's lovely you're getting a break from dc's but I suppose you're missing them.

Eve - love the woe betide them I think I'd be the same when mine were littlies. It is really unnecessary to be like that with little ones.

I think some folk are on hols too.

betty! glad to hear life's OK
thanks for the sympathy! neighbours sound like your Luton lot lou, bloke is a horror has threatened ds with his airgun in the past
also they objected when I put a fence up
she is a dinner lady at school so is v v awkard, really don't want to get into slanging match as I would be sure to come off worst
am lousy at confrontation of this kind
but ignore it and look like a pushover, can't win
the youngest boy is fine, plays with ds, but the older one is horrible and like I say has instigated a lot of trouble at school
I have heard him telling other children I am a bitch and he started a phase of ds being known as a poo faced rat for his dark skin
seems like this other woman is like-minded
Bad luck really most of the village is OK
it's unlucky they are next door and that ds's would-be friend has such a dreadful mother

Ninah - don't worry yourself about her. As Lou said, rise above it.
Doing anything for the weekend?

ninah that is bang out of order it smacks of bullying and intimidation at every level
has this been going on at school or has it started since the dreaded school hols?
the mother harpie can't get away with this just because she is the big i am dinner lady
betty lovely to see you back,pleased to hear all's well with you and your girls and boilerman!...don't be a stranger lol

omg have just read properly....her elder son has said what???
