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

[Monty100]

These threads are finishing faster and faster!

As you were.

Was meant to be meeting someone for a drink tonight. He is someone I've been chatting to on POF, lives locally, looks quite cute. Quite a bit younger than me but I've had a conversation about the age gap and he likes older women, perfect! Anyway I've cancelled because I got up this morning, went all hot and clamy and nearly passed out, managed to cool off so didn't collapse. Stomach bug I reckon. Feel a bit better now but am going to have a rest and see if I can muster up some energy later to clean this mess of a house.

Hope everyone is OK, need to catch up properly later.

hope you feel better soon eve

i had a shit night, couldnt sleep til about 2, and woke quite a lot

so now i feel knackered and havent got a chance to nap due to all the stuff i have had to do in advance, like baking for the picnic, running about doing mundane stuff etc

i wish i was feeling more alert so i could enjoy this evening more

quiche is almost cooked tho, scotch eggs are cooling, just baguettes to be made and melon to be sliced, and cooler to be filled

also got to drop ds1 and dd2 into town to change some books, and collect dd1, then come back and get ready and give all kids including the oldest strict instructions about behaviour while i am out

right well i seem to have perked up now, so fingers crossed the rain holds off please!

have a good evening everyone :)

Just had a read. Tonight looks great Lou. Have a fab time.

Lou - enjoy!

Eve - wow what a shame! How are you feeling? Did you get your housework done?? Are you going to rearrange?

FLF - grr at ds's.

Nought to report here, lot of laundry on the line.... wet . It rained while I was out shopping. I'm having a sit down before I put clean bedding on.

Nothing rearranged. I've done the basics round the house and managed to get out for coffee/shopping earlier. Bit of a tummy bug but feeling a bit better.

We've got fireworks and music about a mile away tonight. Will have to give that a miss too.

It's brightened up here, honestly we've had some atrocious weather up north. First time it hasn't rained for ages.

Eve - Glad you're feeling a bit better and managed to get out for a bit at least.

I must admit we've had great weather down here for a good couple of months all the parkland is brown and a bit of rain is welcome except my laundry is on the line .

Now it's August it's raining. We have had rotten Augusts for about 3 years running.

scl thanks for the invite! I've got the dates now and sadly that's the evening before I hand over the dc, so can't do
he's having them NINE whole days!!! the only fly in the ointment is one of them is ds's birthday, he doesn't care but I feel a little bit
eve sorry you've been unwell
and hope you feel better too lou, esp for eve out
weather's not great here either feel tempted to put heating on
flf yup lol at man from bucks he is getting swarmed didn't depress myself by looking at his young and innocent face

Ninah - oh, ds's birthday . How old will he be?? I suppose you can phone him and stuff and spoil him silly when he gets home? Or before he goes?
Shame you can't make it to SCL's do .

I've just posted on that Bucks man thread. I'm such a prude .

we had a good time but came back a bit early

you all keep talking about the bucks man thread, where is it? i want to read!

i am trying to load pics onto fb from earlier but the pc and my phone is fucking about with loading them ...BAH

No he will be there a week or so first, otherwise I would do the cake n coke routine first lol
He comes back the day after
I said oh you won't have one of my cakes and his eyes lit up poor thing
but he won't get off that lightly
am planning what to do with my time now
'Cortina Night' last entrance 11.30 or stretch out with a good book mmmmm
suggested carnival to my london mate - his reply 'bit too exciting for me these days' lol, 2am was an early night for him when we flat shared
prudish? oh god it's not a shirtless pic is it?

lone parents fancy an october date lou
was jools on form then?

ninah i have no idea what you just said there, but jools was really good

Ninah - DS will just be delighted when he gets home. How old?

Carnival is my idea of a nightmare, I don't do crowds . 20 years ago I was completely different.

Lou - glad you had a good time.

the bucks man thread is in lone parents called 'fancy an October blind date' or similar!
monty he will be 8

when you say carnival are you referring to the notting hill one?

if so, all i will say is ..nightmare

i havent been for years tho, but even when i did go, and was able to watch it from a friends balcony as it passed by, as she lives on the route, it was still a total pita to get in and out of, esp with kids

i cant be doing with all that faff getting there and back to put up with nobbers in their hundreds around me now

or even then tbh

i was always more of a girl who would only go to stuff if i was on the guest list or had some kind of fast track through the melee

otherwise i couldnt be arsed lol

Just going to check out Bucks man.

Ninah - he'll be fine, it'll make it more exciting that he has to wait until next day, but I know you'll be missing him.

I wonder if she will find a date for Bucks man on here?

ffs will someone link me to this bucks thread? i feel left out !!!!

yup notting hill
me and the mate used to live in the middle of it, so couldn't miss it
can't link but it's easy to find thread lots of hits, poor bloke will be flattened

for Lou

show off!
and thanks, monty, yes, it will just mean extended birthday celebrations
(rather like dd who has hers just after Xmas)

I wouldn't be impressed if someone did that to me referring again to Bucks bloke.

Notting Hill oh god no not in a million years.

did you get to speak to their mum in the end Monty?
