Is said ape one of your admirers? Wink

As an aside, and a direct quote from the fillum, it's Hedley.

SantasStrapon · 17/12/2011 23:17

Sorry Hedley

No, one of his photos is of him with an ape on his shoulder Xmas Hmm

Have added a fireman and a bod in finance to my collection today. They both seem normal. So far. Probably they will turn out to be as barking as the others.

PoppaRob · 18/12/2011 10:22

Well, *santas", if his name is Sam he may well be the hero next door! Xmas Smile

PoppaRob · 18/12/2011 10:24

Why do I do a and a " and end up with this" instead of this? Because I'm a dickhead - that's why! Xmas Sad

Xmas Grin
HedleyLamarr · 18/12/2011 11:40

Grin at Poppa! and good luck Stratters! Just have fun and enjoy yourself. Wink

Hello all how is everyone?

I've given up trying to keep up the last few days, but starting to emerge from the pre xmas working like a loon madness and I spy fairy lights at the end of the tunnel Xmas Grin at last!

Well I have NO idea what's happened to me at all. I'm not even interested in my FWB now either Xmas Shock haven't seen him for ages and don't care. Meh.

lubeybaublely · 18/12/2011 12:27

Oh - I did have a slight flirtation and lovely tummy flutter at the thought of possible happenings. It was on twitter, some of (what seemed like) flirtation going on - but I checked out his tweets and I'm pretty sure he is actually gay and very friendly, not straight and fancies me. Bugger!

SantasStrapon · 18/12/2011 12:37

Do you block the ones that you're not interested in?

adamschic · 18/12/2011 15:47

Well I'm all partied out, for this weekend at least. Just wrapped the last pressie and all I need now is a Christmas snog and just had a message off a guy who looks extremely fit for the purpose Xmas Grin.

I stopped messaging all the flaky onliners so lets hope he has a bit more to say for himself.

adamschic · 18/12/2011 16:12

I meant to say oneliners!

I don't often block people only if they keep sending messages when they have been ignored. Just blocked someone now because of this. He said 'Hi, do you want to chat'. Yes of course I do thats why I've ignored you twice already! Or I block them if they have annoyed me in other ways.

watchoutforthatsnail · 19/12/2011 09:42

morning :)

hope you are all ok. its nearly christmas, can you even belive that :)

Sponge - so, whats the update with all the dates?

lubey - even closer to those fairy lights now :) and i know how you feel, ive gone the same, im considering it a dating hibernation and shall re emerge for dating in the spring. In the meantime im enjoying not thinking about it. AND, its nearly christmas... did i mention that already? :) Bloody love it!!!

Weirdly, i got this text yesterday ' If i ask for you for christmas, do you think santa will oblige?' I dont know who its from. I deleted all my numbers from men ive dated this year, it must be one of them. Ive not paid my phone bill and cant afford to until friday and annoyingly got cut off the same day, so i cant text back to find out. Probably a good thing. lol

adamschic · 19/12/2011 10:13

Watch, fate is telling you not to reply I think Xmas Grin.

watchoutforthatsnail · 19/12/2011 10:18

i think you are right adams ;)

i shall instead think of it as mr epic sex thinking about me ( in stockings, in keeping with the santa thing... ) and yeah, the rest is for in my head only!

the reality is its probably the ginger mullet.

best not to know. lol

hatesponge · 19/12/2011 13:00

watch I think adams is right. def best not to know - just bask in the warm glow of thinking it was Mr Epicsex Grin

My dates, well...nothing from Fri night man. He did text me on Fri night, but nothing since then, I won't bother chasing him!

My date for Weds I haven't heard anything from in days though he has been online. So either he's changed his mind (the fool) or he's just expecting it to go ahead. Or he thinks I'm ignoring him. Am going to message him tonight, something brief just to confirm if Weds is on, and if he doesnt reply that will be my answer and I can stay indoors by the fire eating the Xmas chocs instead

have another couple of guys on POF but not really that bothered, if their conversational skills show any sign of improvement I might consider a date in the new year.

My boss asked me today how my weekend was and if I pulled (!) I didn't tell him of course Grin

Zanywany · 19/12/2011 14:23

He might just be presuming that its still going ahead Sponge, some guys tend to make plans and then not realise that they need to re-confirm Grin
Boss definately sounds interested.

I spent quite a bit of time with Mr Yacht this weekend, still going really well

My parents bloody stalky neighbour has found me again.

Zanywany · 19/12/2011 18:53

Where has he found you? Online?

OP posts:
prettypurpledaisy · 19/12/2011 18:57

Feeling a bit fed up today. Went on pof sent several messages, not one reply. Exh has found new gf and asked dd to pick her a pandora bracelet and 5 charms ( I never got anything like that when we were together!)
Plus have broken another tooth so trip to the bloody dentist.
Feel old fat and lonely.

KnickersOnOnesHead · 19/12/2011 19:45

Purple, have you tried OkCupid? That does not seem to be as full of idiots as pof. It is free too.

Must admit, I know how you are feeling, I felt the same, it's crap huh.

Un-mnetty hugs for you.

SantasStrapon · 19/12/2011 20:08

On one of the sites I joined. He found me last time and viewed my profile 100s of times. He's very married, and very blocked now.

On an upside, get this, a really lovely looking (and sounding) man who MAKES SNOW!!!

I could like that very much. Xmas Grin

SantasStrapon · 19/12/2011 20:09

PPD, I'm liking Muddy Matches and Uniformdating, they're both paying ones but the men seem pretty genuine so far.

hatesponge · 19/12/2011 23:08

zany, good to hear alls well with you and Mr Yacht :)

I def think my boss is interested too Blush have to try not to get too excited about it though cos he is not someone to have anything other than a fling with! but hopefully there will at least be that...Grin

santa, like the sound of the man who makes snow, how cool is that!

hatesponge · 20/12/2011 11:14

well I got a reply along the lines of oh I'm really sorry ever so busy with work (which I was Hmm about as he's a builder & most of them have packed up now for Xmas) so he doesn't think he can make it. And he didn't suggest an alternative though was quite chatty & friendly in his reply.

Can't decide whether to just delete him or give him another chance, doesn't seem like he's that bothered. Mind you I'm probably not either, was just hoping to get a last snog in before xmas...oh well, there's always drinks with my boss on Friday Grin

PoppaRob · 20/12/2011 12:05

It's christmas hates. Goodwill to all men, even the ones who let you down. There are two houses going up in my street and the tradies are literally going hammer and tong to get them finished, so relax and see what he comes up with in the New Year.
