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 Grin

Certainly this Dumpling is on good form Smile

Just got home from DS football and relaxing with Katie..shes like Marmite you love or hate Grin

IfYoureHappyAndYouKnowIt · 03/05/2011 21:36

Hi Getting, glad you are on form.

Well, I was doing my monthly expenditure sheet, generally being ill for AGES (am actually feeling rubbish again today wtf). Had one night with mman hence away from internet. First night our in ages and even then I felt a bit ropy.

This weekend have BE and Bumpkin coming to stay down the road in a hotel. Hmm can't wait. Haven't seen him for a long time and that has been very pleasant.

How is everyone else today? Any news on the man Sov?

Real life is intruding at the moment and I'm not remotely managing to keep up with mumsnet. But just wanted to pop my head in and say hello! Smile

Off to bed in a mo as the DCs are waking soooooooo early since Scotland still.

soverign21 · 04/05/2011 02:26

hello everyone, quite drunk, oops its a school night
hope everyone ok, am very happy atm, NM is unbelieveable, he a dumpling too so taking it slow but 160 texts between us in 2 days, very shocking
he looks like a hard barsteward but he really isnt, very soft centre and surprised me with the fact he likes cuddles, seems quite keen but for obvious reason am holding back somewhat but he does make me laugh so much and i have been walking around with a stupid grin on my face for days, think it helps that we have been eyeing each other up for months now but have also told him i will not sleep with him till i'm sure he wants more than just sex (i'm quite upfront like that and just blurt these sort of things out lol) but he is happy with that so see how it goes
Seeing him again tomorrow night (tonight?) so will keep on smiling i hope

will be checking in again soon but keep on smiling ladies cause we got the best thing out of our twunts, our DC, they can be a right royal pain sometime but we love them and would do anything for them none the less!!

take care xx

Mumfun · 04/05/2011 10:55

Hi Sov glad NM is being a good un and too right about being upfront - everything is clear and much better for it. Also was thinking same lines re the kids -and also glad Ive got them and am not aged 38/39 with no kids, desperate to have them and just settling with the wrong person to get them!

Sorry Happy youve been ill! Youre brave getting a depilator!

Tea - hope life is being good to you tho hope kids start to sleep longer again.

Getting -glad you are really happy - and yes think that may lead to less posting - also lovely weather makes us more likely to be out and about and then catching up with chores at nights - or thats me anyway.

Romney -glad you can see through bull of ex! You are so lucky to have a horse!

Getting involved with a few new social things here - trying to expand my social life! Working at a festival end of June so looking forward to that tho will have to organise H to look after kids a good bit.Hoping maybe to do a trip with a uni friend beginning August -dependent on H again taking kids away but he said he may. Hoping some plans come together. Still no reply from interview.

Patienceobtainsallthings · 04/05/2011 12:27

Waves to Patience and ha re the mail!

Just got delivery of my argan oil -says lots of uses including putting skin to rights and balancing sebum, reduces inflammation and scars. Keeps skin soft. Sounds very good and cant wait to try!

gettingeasier · 05/05/2011 09:21

Well done Sov you really deserve some happiness and fun after what you have been through Smile

Waiting for removal company to collect my boxes and have a team of husbands coming sunday to do some DIY and then we are 100% sorted and organised here which feels great Smile

Still alive but still out of touch with mumsnet Blush

Stripping my nasty old fashioned textured wall paper in my bedroom at last after talking for almost a year about it. Plan to put up lining paper and paint it then an "old rose" B&Q colour, going totally girly in my room. Made some money on ebay this month selling things and decided it was time to do it Grin
