Are you going to see him again at all? If you don't, do you think he might rumble that you set him up?

BottySpottom · 10/04/2009 16:49

tell him you can't be exclusive anymore; you think you've fallen for a penguin

Where is Tiger?

I have got fuck all done this afternoon!

goingplaces · 10/04/2009 16:53

Ask him, "Did you know that penguins form monogomous relationships that last a lifetime?"

Do you have a landline? Would he try to contact you on that number if you don't return his calls to your old mobile? Is the old mobile still receiving calls/texts?

mylifemykids · 10/04/2009 16:55

I've only just caught up with the first thread (again!). Was he seriously still there at 4.20 waiting????

allthetwinklystars · 10/04/2009 16:56

My DH now thinks that I spend all day ignoring the DC and sitting on the laptop MNing.. erm....

TheDevilEatsNestle · 10/04/2009 16:56

I've just read this entire thread and am wondering if there's another one 'to have given this dodgy looking guy in the pub a false number'

Because I had 8 phonecalls today asking for Katie. Poor desperate bloke

'Hi it must be you, you put this number in my phone'

Me -' No I am not Katie and spent last night in bed with crap magazines and an easter egg'

Then again

'Katie, why are you lying, we had a good talk, why don't you remember me?'

Lizzylou · 10/04/2009 16:57

LOL at the Penguin waving in Tescos, Chippingin
DH came home with Asda's own brand, Puffins, he didn't know why I was so disappointed...

Riallytoofattoflounce · 10/04/2009 16:58

thumbunny - are these his marching orders?

PlumBumMum · 10/04/2009 16:58

Invite round for a chat to dump him, make him a cup of tea and a plate of biscuits, with a few penguins on there

screamingabdab · 10/04/2009 16:59

lizzylou Puffins? lol

MavisGrind · 10/04/2009 17:00

Just bookmarking this - waiting for Tigers report...

DS1 has been wearing his Pingu top all day in your honour!

Lizzylou · 10/04/2009 17:00

I know screamingabdab, I know...
Just not the same

Nyx · 10/04/2009 17:02

Am still roffling here

I think you could do what somebody suggested before - i.e. text from jane's number and say "btw...shineon and I both think you're a nob" - then the penny would drop. You really would have to get a brand new number after that though!

Oh well done well done on the whole thing though! I'm looking forward to tiger's update too!

cornsilk · 10/04/2009 17:02

Perhaps suggest that you and he stay in and watch 'Happy Feet' whilst snacking on sushi tonight?

goingplaces · 10/04/2009 17:04

Or find a "black tie" do to go to together and get him down to Moss Bros to get fitted for his penguin suit

thumbbunny · 10/04/2009 17:05

lol Rially!

bellabelly · 10/04/2009 17:06

I love Nancy's suggestion about telling him it's time for you both to "spread your wings" - you could then console him with the thought that there are plenty more fish in the sea...
