Thank you hate Smile I must say, it is good being able to say all this stuff out loud and get some feedback because thins is how I talk myself out of dating in the first place Grin

Yes watch I agree with everyone else re the date. Especially now I've just realised it's going to cost you £40!! Shock That's a dress!!

stayforappledunking · 13/10/2011 21:19

Oh and....shineyyyy! Hello Wink

TimeForMeIsFree · 13/10/2011 21:20

Grin you cruel woman, you! bet your stomach is well churning! Grin

stayforappledunking · 13/10/2011 21:21

It is! And the wine has gone to my head! Must be cool confident goddess.

TimeForMeIsFree · 13/10/2011 21:23

Grin I can't wait for the wine tomorrow night. I love that relaxed feeling it gives me. It makes me want to snog too, it brings out the animal in me Grin

stayforappledunking · 13/10/2011 21:25

Yup it does that to me too Grin if I was sans wine just now I would be nervous as hell! Must not pounce Blush

TimeForMeIsFree · 13/10/2011 21:26

Grin I lose all my inhibitions. That's after just one glass! After 3 I lose the contents of my stomach. I'm not a big drinker.

stayforappledunking · 13/10/2011 21:27

Pretty much the same with wine Angry vodka however....Grin

watchoutforthatsnail · 13/10/2011 21:28

£40 minimum. Not worth it is it.

Stay :) :) :)

Sponge. Another stone and a half and you will be waif like!! :)

lubeybooby · 13/10/2011 21:30

I've a bottle of vino and some vodka for tomorrow night seeing as no dates seem to be happening.

I'm weird with drink - totally pot luck. I can go from 0- pissed on one glass at times and drink everyone under the table other times with no apparent connection or anything done differently. I hope tomorrow is a pissed up spinny hold the floor so i don't fall off night, I need one!

Have a great time Stay :o

Ooh yes, Vodka! I can do practically a whole bottle of vodka. And did last Christmas, while home alone while DD was with twat her dad. Would prefer not to have another Christmas like that one though. I've got some Strawberry Vodka stuff in the fridge that my daughter gave me last night, won't be very good for the diet though.

No watch it is not worth it! No way would I part with £40 for a date. I'm taking enough money for a round of drinks and an emergency taxi home on my date and that. is. it! I'm not parting with a penny more! Bloody hell, we are refusing to pay for a dating site so I don't think we should be paying £40 sodding quid for a meet up Shock

Hatesponge · 13/10/2011 21:35

watch, in my dreams! I still have almost 3 stone to lose. But at least that's 4.5 less than it was in Jan :)

time, I might seem good with the advice now. You wait til I finally get a date. I will be hopeless Grin

TimeForMeIsFree · 13/10/2011 21:35

Ooh thank you Shiney Smile

I need something!!!

Grin Bit like me then hate. I'm good at dishing out the advice but not so good at taking my own. I'm soooo mixed up!! I don't know how to date. I don't know the rules.

lubeybooby · 13/10/2011 21:43

And the countdown beging Stay like the wind up in getting you friend to answer the door.

Time I thought I was bad over analysing things, stop and enjoy tomorrow night. At best you will find someone you really like, who cares for you and if you feel strongly after a while then the distance etc won't work. At worse you won't click buy you will have got back out there dating wise so your next first date will be less nerve wracking.

Pleased too see you Shshiney how are things going.

Go with your gut instict Watch but maybe see if he can travel nearer you so you won't waste spend as much money if your instinct is right.

I am now texting Madmax and am arranging to see him next week. Also have a second date with Mr Body on sunday.

Carrying on from what your guys were saying earlier, I personally think I need to like myself a bit more before I expect someone else to like me. I cut my hair, lots off, a few months ago and still don't like it, as well as needing to lose a stone

TimeForMeIsFree · 13/10/2011 21:47

Night lubey sweet dreams.

I'm rather tired myself tonight and can't really be bothered with the dating sites. That's a good start to my plan innit!

TimeForMeIsFree · 13/10/2011 21:49

Thanks Zany Smile I am a terrible over analyser! I analyse everything! I need to stop thinking about it cos I'm doing my head in now.

You joining us on the 'get in shape and love yourself' plan then Zany? No more Whole Nut!

PoppaRob · 13/10/2011 21:55

Have a great night stay! We're all perched on your bedhead watching! :-)

Re the weight loss. Ok. I've just done the conversions and jumped on the scales. I'm currently a morbidly obese 137.3Kg (21.62st). To lose the stone (6.35Kg) by christmas I'll need to drop to 130.95Kg but my scales only go to one decimal point so I'll round down to 130.9Kg (20.61st). I was 146Kg a few months ago and last time I'd jumped onto the scales I was 142Kg so I am heading in the right direction. Interesting that my clothes don't seem any looser. I've got a great collection of shirts, jumpers and jackets ranging in size from XXL right through to 5XL so if I lose some weight I'll be the best dressed person on the block!
