Well I can do my own windows too but there comes a time when you just have to get a man in.

chris123456 · 17/10/2011 18:39

Not me!

lubeybooby · 17/10/2011 18:45

Well go for it then Time. Test out an 'intimate encounter' pof profile. Just make it clear you don't want to be opening the door naked and shagging within three seconds of meeting unless you do want that of course

If you don't find someone decent who wants the same thing within a day or two (amongst all the obvious dross) then I'll be very surprised indeed.

Grin No, I won't be answering the door naked. I may give my regular profile a rest while I do that, if I do it, because I do have my regulars you know Wink

fed up of doing my own windows too

wrigglytummy · 17/10/2011 18:51

Wow, ladies, I go to work, the Internet access was down & I have pages of dates to trawl through, you have been busy!
I have sent loads of messages out as my Plan B hottie seems a bit lukewarm :-(
Not getting much back, I think this may be a bleak week for me, so I will have to live my life through you guys for a bit....

TimeForMeIsFree · 17/10/2011 18:55

I've got PMT, I can't be arsed bothered this week either. Although am just exchanging messages with andypandy2012 which are far too sensible/normal/acceptable to be true. I keep expecting the 'real' him to jump out any minute and shout 'Fooled Yaaaaaa!

Zanywany · 17/10/2011 19:41

Im starting to feel a bit 'can't be arsed bothered too.Not heard anything from the guy I am supposed to be on a date with tomorrow night, in fact not heard from him since late friday night [hconfused]

Zanywany · 17/10/2011 19:45

Oh hooo, just been asked out by Mr Yacht, only thing is be has only been single for 4 months but I personally went into a relationship after my marriage broke down [hsmail]

TimeForMeIsFree · 17/10/2011 19:45

Do you think it could have something to do with the dark winter nights? Preferring to close the curtains early and get into PJ's, snuggle down with Whole Nut a good book and a nice cup of tea?

Zanywany · 17/10/2011 19:46

hammers929 on okcupid for all you nosies like me

nitnatnaboo · 17/10/2011 19:46

My Dad, aged 67 at the time, met his 2nd wife on Plenty of Fish and they got married last year. [hsmile]. Good luck if you're looking!

TimeForMeIsFree · 17/10/2011 19:47

I guess not then Zany [hgrin]

TimeForMeIsFree · 17/10/2011 19:49

Well, as long as he didn't start looking when he was 47 nitnatnaboo then I'm pleased for him [hgrin]

TimeForMeIsFree · 17/10/2011 19:50

Cor! Zany He is gawgus! Does he clean windows by any chance??

Makeyerowndamndinner · 17/10/2011 20:08

Oooh Snapes glad your date went well!

Can I have a gander too? I'm dead curious.

Makeyerowndamndinner · 17/10/2011 20:19

Also, I'd had a leg and bikini wax booked today as I had thought I had a hot date this weekend, then when it turned out not to be I thought about cancelling but in the end decided no, sod it, I'm going to go for me anyway. It'll be a treat, you know, time and money spent on myself sort of thing.

Well. Ohmifuckingod. That shit hurts. Nothing quite like having loads of your pubic hair ripped out by the roots.

I kept getting B A Baracus from the A-team going round on a loop inside my head - 'you're going to meet my friend paaain!!!'

lubeybooby · 17/10/2011 20:58

Oh! Remember Mr Friday? The one I really liked but suspected he had put me in the friend zone and I was considering him as a gig buddy?

Well he messaged me about something random today and we ended up talking about the date. He says he thought that there wasn't any particular spark between us but that it was "a lovely evening spent with someone quite unique" I replied that I'd thought the same but that I had felt the spark although knew it wasn't there for him, and that was fine as I wasn't really expecting anything anyway.

No reply to that so far but will be interesting to see what he says. And we agreed the gig buddy thing also, which will be good as I really need to get out of the bloody house a bit more, his taste in music is brilliant and I can't think of anyone better to go to a gig with. So will look forward to that happening at some point. And maybe he has cute friends :o

BoR is still texting me the silly soppy sod.

Make I think waxing is the worst the first time you go for it. I've had it done a few times now and it doesn't really register much pain wise. A bit like getting used to plucking your eyebrows, at first it's eye watering and ouchy but now it takes me 2 minutes and doesn't hurt at all.

OP posts:
Makeyerowndamndinner · 17/10/2011 21:12

Yes I hope so. There was some proper bush there (TMI alert) that had to come off and next time there won't be I guess.

How women can bear to go for the full Hollywood though I don't know. I've still got an inch wide landing strip and even that was almost unbearable.

Lubey could you pm me the username of Snapes date please? She said she didn't mind others sharing and I've asked her but she's nowhere to be seen... (so nosey, honestly)

lubeybooby · 17/10/2011 21:22

It can't hurt as much anymore because I've even been known to do it myself (with much contorting!)

OP posts:
Makeyerowndamndinner · 17/10/2011 21:35

How do you do it yourself? Do you just buy the wax? I must say it was not hugely dignified having someone else do it for me...

The beautician was great though. A woman in her fifties - been waxing and polishing people for decades. She was really proffessional and made me feel really comfortable. She said she was horrifed by all these young girls coming in for full Hollywoods, but that now there was such a demand for them she felt she had to provide the service people were wanting. She said she blamed pornography.

lubeybooby · 17/10/2011 22:11

With great difficulty and about two hours! and wax that I warmed up in a pot of hot water. Only in desperation though, it's much easier having it done for you despite leaving your dignity somewhere in the street.

Well, with a good waxer that is. The first one I went to took everything off apart from the VITAL bits, the most important to remove (for me anyway)... the err... more inner areas. I think that salon is stuck in the 90's somewhere bless em. No idea what a brazilian should be at all

OP posts:
Makeyerowndamndinner · 17/10/2011 22:18

Ooof, the thought of having the 'inner' bits done makes me wince. You're a braver woman than me Lubey Grin

lubeybooby · 17/10/2011 22:18

Thems the bits that are most worth it though Wink
