Dumpling no more? Only the strong survive and we did no. 4

[IfYoureHappyAndYouKnowIt]

At first I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinkin' I could never live without him by my side;
But then I spent so many nights
Thinkin' how you did me wrong
And I grew strong

This thread is for ex dumplings. Any dumpling that feels like she has "mostly" moved past crisis into an "almost" sorted state can post and chat here as we continue our quest for serenity with a lot of laughs along the way and support

Well DC are back at school woo hoo but found out today they break up again on 26th May grr

Have a few questions for you, this oil you have all been talking about, what is it? what's it for? how do you use it? where can i get it? :o

Sov, actually I feel the same in that I think you've got to meet me to appreciate me . I'm the opposite though in that I think any man would be lucky to have me (inflated sense of self ) thus am not in the least bit bothered about them finding me to be a disappointment but would be hugely concerned that I'll find them a dissappointment lol. I'm also not impressed by the fact that the women my age seem to be attracting only men that are 10 yrs older as if we should be grateful that any man is interested . I'm older then you though (38) so hopefully this is not the case for you. I'm sure when the timing is right for you that you will go ahead with some dates

Sov, Argan oil, for your hair, seems online is cheapest place to get it . I've yet to buy it myself though.

Oh & agree with you that meeting someone in rl is so so much easier then this bloody online stuff !! Sadly I don't get out to ever meet anyone in rl so will just have to contend with the online stuff for now.......

Starting ,I feel the same ,just could never go out with someone boring lol.Good thing about being single is you get to pick what u want and leave the rest.I don't want a room mate,I want a fun bloke that wants to screw me senseless.

Can someone link me to it please?

The argan oil or the bloke sov ?

If u search argan oil in" mumsnet search" lots of archive threads from style and beauty topic,u get pure argan oil and serum with oil in it ,one product is called morroccon oil.

Started a thread about it thoughts pleas

Wish I was getting hairier. My hair always snaps off when I'm under stress about an inch from my scalp. Did it when I was pregnant too.

What bloke was it who said that as soon as he hit 40 his hair started gravitating downwards from his scalp to come out of every other orifice on his body? (Ick but it's the same for women, too, just not quite so bad). Starting, you are so right about blokes being lucky to have us. It's the one thing stuck in my mind about Kate Middleton - when they split up & all the press were chasing her pretending to be soooo concerned and asking her "How do you feel?" she turned round and snapped at them: "He was SO lucky to have had me." Was about the only thing she ever said to the press but it left me feeling - right on sister!

Glad to hear from you all. Hugs.

Hi Mymymble - hope you are doing well at the moment x

Just to say co parenting with my X is like co parenting with one of the inbetweeners .

Me too Patience - very good point!
Disappointed that I'm not going to meet drummer boy tomorrow but quite relieved too cos I ain't feeling sexy or vibrant right now! My friend says that he has car trouble and can't get (he lives near exbf so 70 odd miles away) but really wants to meet me and is going to text alternative dates to her. Thing is, my mate is lovely but sometimes she's a bit of a liar - I don't trust her when she says she's spoken to him - she might be making it all up

Oh well Goo you wont have to get all shaved and waxed now, I must admit I was horrified yesterday when I put my hair up to go for a run I found a black hair on my cheek, about an inch long!! why had no one told me, mortified.

Strarted my silversmithing course last night at college, really enjoyed it, first item to make is a ring.

Been dabbling in the online stuff and now have an ex policeman that wont leave me alone, I turned my phone off 3 weeks ago and he found me on another site and contacted me again, emailed me twice today wanting to meet, what shall I tell him, he really isnt my type. I only seem to attract the weirdos!!! great start to my getting back out there.

Rom just dont contact him at all ,no correspondence whatsoever .
I also returned first lesson of my distance learning course today on crystals.
Older dumplings will remember i signed up for this in October before i moved house ,but just got started tonight
Hope ur cool Getting with the house move !
Rom is it true Mark Todd won Badminton ?
Cant say ive noticed a change re hair in places that it shouldnt be ,maybe it will all change in august when i turn 40 .

I swear if u put 4 dumpling Xs in a motor together with a camera it would be a fecking BAFTA comedy .
If your pal is a twat so be it ,nothing u can do about her ,just heal ur burn and enjoy the wedding on friday x

Yes Patience he did for the forth time, 31 years after winning Badminton for the first time.

How did your crystal course go, I must admit the meanings of crystals interests me.

Am fine goo, sorry/pleased about your drummer date being postponed - whichever you're feeling.

Scary stalkerish Rom - unless there's a really good explanation for the x pc being so pushy I'd run like the wind.
Patience is quite right, ignore him, please.

Talking about golden sporting oldies - did anyone see the Gary Lineker crisp advert after the footie tonight? OMG. He is such a silver fox & just sends himself up so well (his wife was pretty darned funny in it too). Shame it's crisps but still ....

Rom I also had one of those long black hairs! Crap isn't it? Ah Mymymble - glad you're ok. Reached a new level of serenity as far as blokes are concerned really - if it's meant to be, sure we will meet at some point.
Went to see a posh school for eldest today with exh - we could only afford it with a bursary and even then exh would have to cough up all the money he stashes away. We were sitting having tea with the headmaster when my bloody phone went - noone EVER calls me. When I looked at number, apologising the whole time to posh bloke, it was fucking exbf. Bloody great eh? Sitting with one twat and the other one calls. He'd left a message - turns out he's sat on his phone whilst doing something, so it was all muffled music then had a horrible thought he was in the middle of shagging new woman and nearly threw up at the thought !
Exh was fairly hilarious on the journey there - went in his huge audi a8, tinted windows, posh hands free thingy. He started the journey by asking if I could work the satnav "Cos I can't fucking do it, I only learnt how to lock the bloody doors 2 weeks ago!" (he's had the car a year). He kept getting calls from fishermen (he owns a seafood export business) which went along the lines of "Aye, Jimmy, what ye got? Forty fucking bags? Where from? West coast? They better not be shite like you c hehe! How much? I divvent fucking na! [Cue lots of working out and decimal points and arguing about how much french supermarkets usually price things at etcetc] Ye gan to Brussels Jimmy the morrow? Aye I am, course I am ye bastard! No you can't sleep in my room ye c ye smell too bad! Hehe! Right, gotta go. Lost somewhere near Berwick. Aye. Feck off. See ya the morra..." Sigh. After nearly a full hour of that I was quite glad to get out of the car.
He managed to behave himself fairly well in the school, just kept asking if they played football at all, or was it all rugby and much as he was happy for his son to kick any sort of ball, could they see their way to chopping a couple of feet off the posts on the school field so that a bit of footy could be played? And to remember that our son is a left footer and that MUST be an advantage for any school. Oh and he's a big bugger ye na, handy on any pitch... but apart from tha he was quite good really! He finished the meeting with "Let's talk money another time Mr. Headmaster, another time. It's been a pleasure to look round and we'll fill out the forms and see where we can go from there eh?" like it was some sort of fish deal but at least he didn't swear, or insinuate that curling was for poofs...I know I have low standards but believe me, it could have been like a cross between Faulty Towers and The Office...

x post Mymy - yes, he's lush. Shame his wife looks like your typical lollipop with huge tits but still...:)

Sorry lineker is a mid life shag someone half ur age creep.maybe that's harsh have no idea of his back story ,but mark Todd won badminton ,I loved wee charisma ,my favourite little horse ever .

Pmsl at ur Inbetweeners day out ggm.

Patience - his wife divorced him on the grounds of unreasonable behaviour. Says it all really.

Prick,too fucking smarmy for me .

ok lets have a tune ,first one to post one gets an easter egg,
first tune has to be a reggae one ,ready ,steady go........

I like Lineker because he revels in his own ridiculousness. But he & 1st wife went through ds with leukaemia too & he does masses for cancer research (of course free), including regular one to one talks with sufferers. Divorce was amiacable but we all know what that may mean.
