Likea I think she might have the hump with me because I opted out of working with her this week. Last email was destinctly chilly in tone, but she did say we're still out on Saturday so....we'll see. PMT just makes me tired for a couple of days so if she is shirty or difficult I'm more likely to say 'oh bugger off, I can't be bothered.'

sleepless you've got a weekend at WIQs coming up - I guess you'll have to tell DH where you'll be? Have you told him yet that you're in touch with her? (sorry if you've already said this).

pollyblue · 19/04/2012 13:49

I do like my wiq for the fact that she's considerate and I always have well assurance in advanve of any meetings )

alright, don't rub it in! Grin

HepHep · 19/04/2012 13:51

likea, Oh no, I just meant that I would be alarmed at how fast everything moved (on both sides) and the drama, etc. From past bitter experience. Tis just me, though Grin I am excited for you sleepless as well, it is lovely finding someone in the world that really digs you.

Waiting for PMT to hit here as well. I usually turn into a snivelling wreck for 24 hours which is never fun.

polly, hope your WIQ's chilly tone means nothing and you have an awesome drink or three with her on Saturday! :)

pollyblue · 19/04/2012 13:54

Hep if I feel any snivelling coming on I find a dirty great slab of dairy Milk sorts me out. But then my chin errupts Grin I'm almost looking forward to the menopause, but knowing my luck I'll grow a beard then.

Thanks for your good wishes, am looking forward to it in a guarded way.

pollyblue · 19/04/2012 13:58

I think I'm going to appraoch the evening the Gay way (as it were!) - ask her questions, listen, take an interest and don't blether on about myself (I do have a wonderful ability to talk utter cobblers when I'm nervous Hmm).

AllotmentFreak · 19/04/2012 14:03

The menopause is nothing to look forward to I can tell you, only good thing it came late ish for me but when it hit OMG. However......huge slabs of chocolate helps alleviate symptoms I'm pleased to say Grin Grin.

Likea.... I was also thinking maybe sleepless may not be with her partner by then.... who knows what the future holds.

Weekend will soon be here this thread will be busy then Grin

pollyblue · 19/04/2012 14:18

Hi Allotment I think come Sunday night this thread will be so busy there'll be steam coming off it Grin Or out of my and likeas ears.

pollyblue · 19/04/2012 14:20

I've got 48 hours to lose half a stone and look half way decent - can it be done?!
Though she's used to seeing me covered in crap and a bit sweaty at work so if I make too much effort she might suspect something (ahem).

AllotmentFreak · 19/04/2012 14:25

Put the dairy milk away for a start Grin wear high heels you will walk and feel taller (and skinnier).

pollyblue · 19/04/2012 14:37

I've been trying to detox for the past week but the PMT has done for that Grin But yes, I could manage 48 hours off the choc and will def be wearing high heeled boots which helps (and breathing in A LOT).

I'm hoping the pub lighting will be a bit dim.

HepHep · 19/04/2012 14:40

Ah, the eternal quandary of whether to risk overdressing and thus look too keen. I'd say go for understated but sexy, so, very nice barely there makeup, enough perfume/body lotion/whatever that she occasionally catches a whiff of you and gets hot under the collar but not enough to gas her, and wear something YOU like and feel good in, because if you are feeling confident and liking how you look, that really comes across (and is v sexy) even if you are dressing down and going pretty casual.
Am intrigued as to what you do at work polly to make you covered in crap and sweaty... Grin I must have missed that.

pollyblue · 19/04/2012 15:06

Hep I've never said what I do, it's a bit unsual and would certainly out me.

yes I'm going for things I've worn before, a bit of slap, bit of jewellry - a slightly more polished, sweeter-smelling me really!

Under clobber I will be buffed and lotioned to within an inch of my life, purely for my own inner self-confidence Grin

pollyblue · 19/04/2012 15:07

thanks Allotment for saving me from myself. Could you hide the hula hoops as well please?

Loveisthemessage · 19/04/2012 15:10

Newsflash...Jessie J is gay apparently - if you believe the Sun. Would be good having a hip and funky mover and shaker like her out in the open esp as she's in the public eye.

pollyblue · 19/04/2012 17:00

Oh yes, Jessie J is a lesbian, I saw a pic of her with her girlfriend in an iterview with her a few months ago. I remember they were trying to pass her off as bi but i thought 'no, I don't think so' Grin

Loveisthemessage · 19/04/2012 18:39

Yes I did think afterwards, do we give a flying toss about Jessie J except my children but I do think it's good when a celeb is cool and nonchalant about their sexuality like it's no big deal (and there I was making it into a big deal)

sleeplessindenial · 19/04/2012 19:48

I have had a strange sort of day today.

Went to wiq for lunch and wasn't nervous at all, was brilliant to see her Smile

But, she asked me to go speed dating with her Confused and also arranged a blind date with someone whilst i was there too. Then tried on different outfits to wear in the date (was nice doing up the dressed though she has a lovely back) and generally talked about the date a lot.

I know that's a clear sign of being uninterested in me etc, but it felt forced, she is interested in me I can tell, I don't mean to be big headed but I just can Blush

And then as I was leaving I got a hug and a kiss.... On the lips!?

And when I got home I got a text saying how much richer her life is with me in it, that she trusts me and cares about me, that we have a connection.

Denial is not just a river in Egypt Wink

I have major pmt, I don't think I would've sent her the email if I hadn't been so hormonal Bear

sleeplessindenial · 19/04/2012 19:50

Polly - he knows I have been seeing and talking to her. He didn't really mind the first time but isn't very impressed with it now he has banned her from the house

A lesbian moon and PMT all round by the sound of things! Not sure if that's going to be a good combination.

pollyblue · 19/04/2012 20:07

sleepless i don't know what to make of that (WIQs behavior) tbh.

Crushinghard · 19/04/2012 20:14

sleepless I don't mean to make light of your situation but I am having a little giggle at the fact your WIQ is in such denial! And then to kiss you on the lips! Bide your time, she will come around. Enjoy the ride!
