Welcome to the Turning Tavern II: Now in 3D

[Gay40]

Welcome!

yes, that's easy G - just shove what you don't want to deal with out of the house !

I must say, I was sure polly would report before 1am! she's either ve-ery drunk and unable to type, or something did happen .

quite a few of us (not 'hours') - right, off to bed!

It will be wonderful when you have sorted out all the things you want to keep, and you can find everything because it is exactly where you want it to be! I find storage is an issue in houses these days. I'm a big of a property freak, a beautiful house makes me feel all tingling and happy! I do wonder what a MN fairy would look like and what kind of things she would be able to do? Internet free time is a must! It's actually wonderful to disconnect from technology especially if you rely on it a lot on a day to day basis.

Speak for yourself Likea... I love a new phone, tis an adventure don't you know!! I was hoping to hear something from Polly too, it seemed great that they had actually managed a meeting! Anyway sleep well.

yes, Mumbling , that's why i like country escapes, to disconnect from information overload, and just to rest my poor eyes. I too love beautiful houses but I find it very hard work (especially any diy and if something doesn't work - the cost is also stressful). Any storage tips welcome!

well I'm speaking for myself but also Gay40, polly and I think one more person (Charles?) who mentioned old phones. It's all nice when someone shows you the ropes but I'm very impatient generally and if I can't get something to work quickly, I get upset and wound up! to me simple is often best. though yes, once it doeswork you feel all pleased with yourself. Night, M.

Once again it's having the time to learn how to use it and if you are just calling and texting then the rest all seems a bit pointless really. Also if you left it behind somewhere you are more likely to have someone chase after you shouting for your attention. On the topic of homes again, my current storage solutions are just using ANY space that is left and stacking as much as I can as neatly as humanly possible! I'd love to be forced to pack what I think is essential and then have to throw the rest away as it would be so liberating. I'd probably cry and panic for a bit and then just frantically proceed to cram as much in a bag as possible. I recommend making a warranty/receipt book though, making a page for each room in your house and securing the warranty/receipt for each product in the room. Super freaky organised

Hello chaps,
just a quick update, have skim-read last nights posts and glad to see Mumbling has joined the Tavern.

I didn't get back til 12.30am, pub we were in didn't seem to bother much about closing time! Which was good. Had a lovely evening, WIQ arrived with a twisted ankle so didn't drink v much (painkillers) but said several times 'next time we'll both get off our faces.'

She was v chatty and thanks to loud music in pub sat herself right next to me, faces almost touching, which I quite enjoyed Quite touchy-feely too, and a hug and couple of kisses when we left. But I really think she is DNG - she mentioned she's been looking on dating websites and is thinking about getting herself 'out there' again, she would like to find a bloke I'm pretty sure.

anyhoo, it went better than I hoped - I was worried that, although I had said in an email 'I don't fancy you, alright!' she might be a bit hmmm and cautious but she wasn't, she was leaning on me by the end of the night, and she was sober So maybe she really does think I don't fancy her! Oh bugger

I need a bucket of tea and painkillers now. My mouth is like Ghandi's flip flop. xx Thanks for all your good wishes last night x

Hi Polly Sounds like your evening went well and off to a good start with WIQ (still DNG then ). There will also be a next time it seems yay! Best get the date arranged soon knowing how long this one took to set up lol!!!

Glad you had a lovely evening Here's a bucket of lesbian tea, huge bag of hula hoops and mega sized dairy milk for you, oh and 2 paracetamol

Welcome Mumbling

Glad you had a good evening, polly :) And welcome, Mumbling!

Polly, sounds like a good start. Sleepless's woman is also trying to date and she's DNG too....

Allotment yes I think I will be quite pro-active about pinning her down for another drinkie, as we seem to have got off to a (DNG!) good start.

And thankyou for the teas and snacks, much needed, am feeling a little seedy...

I'd forgotten about sleepless's WIQ having a date lined up. That's all smoke and mirrors I'm sure - she does seem to be far more into sleepless than my WIQ is into me.

Still faint heart and all that - I should keep Gays advice in mind - 'I know you're DNG but we mustn't let that get in the way of a good shag.'

And Likea's seeing her WIQ later today isn't she? All fingers crossed for that x

polly, I couldn't have possibly not check up on your update this morning, even though leaving very soon and not on internet until late monday. So you were in the pub for FOUR hours! did you find enough to talk about (as it wasn't about your crush on her!)? what sort of subjects, bar her dating.
How do you feel though - would you be honestly happy to stay friends, or do you think you'll crush more and more on her (not ideal!)? I really always felt that this one IS Dng - I just don't want you get hooked on her for indefinite time and get more down as a result. You said you didn't fancy her? why? that was a blatant lie, but she obv thought you don't fancy her anymore. I suppose any tactics were fine just to get her to have a drink - but i think she would anyway (it's public place and she knows you aer a nice person.

I must say that last night I thought maybe somethin did shift as to her being DNG as you were not home so late. Thought you were either very drunk=went badly, or went better than I thought it would. But nearly four hours friendly chat i didn't envisage. Still, now sounds that she's DDng.

Mumbling, will try to take your advice on board, the funny thing is I'm freakyishly organised (house/storage wise) deep down, I have visions of how it should be, but getting to do it is proving impossible (lack of space, too much stuff, needing to be disciplined!)

Likea my saying I didn't fancy her - actually I just re-read my email to her and what I said was 'I'm not going to try and turn you' - was only a half truth, I like her very much and yes find her attractive but at that point I was more concerned about seeing if we could forge some sort of friendship (esp as she was the one who'd suggested going for a drink) with worrying that she would be worrying that I might get the wrong impression and try it on. If that makes sense....

We talked about a lot of stuff, more about her than me because she's more interesting has travelled a lot etc. We didn't talk about anything remotely to do with me possibly fancying her, personal stuff yes, but again more about her than me.

I don't know how I feel today tbh. I'm pleased that she is obviously a lot more comfortable with me than I expected. I think my only problem might be that I can imagine developing very strong feelings for her, because I liked her much more than I expected - I didn't know very much about her before last night, just the basics really and that we had a few things in common and a similar sense of humour. So that's not necessarily good. And she is completely bloody gorgeous.

On the plus side, save from talking about hoping to meet another chap at some point, she didn't feel the need to actually reiterate 'I'm DNG!' - the gay thing wasn't mentioned at all in fact .

Likea (if you haven't gone yet) hope you have a lovely day x

Sounds like a good evening polly soon to be repeated hopefully ( tell me you at least have her phone number lol)

Wiq is out for a posh dinner today, and has been sending me photos of what she's wearing, she looks lovely she has said she can't wait to see me tomorrow just us no dc and planned massage oh shit I am looking forward to it but cant get the thought of massaging her out of my head I am incredibly nervous for some reason. She had a friend round last night and I had to go to bed to stop myself texting her as I knew she was busy and didn't want to be a pain.

Welcome munching

Ah well, actually no, I still don't have her phone number (please don't throw anything at me Gay)

My WIQ is properly trained in massage! I should've asked her for some tips for you.

You will be fine, I would be all wibbly in your shoes too

Opps polly, you should email her and ask her for it! Be brave

I think it's because I associate massage with sex intimacy. Everytime I've ever had or given a massage it's led to sex been in an intimate situation I guess that's why they call places massage parlours when everyone knows its a knocking shop

I am trying to convince myself that wiq doesn't have the same associations as I do

I have just emailed to say thanks for a lovely evening, if she replies I might ask for her number then.

re the massage - well, you'll find out tomorrow won't you!

I think I would create a really awkward situation if she was wanting anything to happen as I would have to say no because of Dp and I don't know if wiq would feel rejected or something. Maybe I shouldn't go I am such a wuss
