I think the speedy reply from him is also a good sign Sponge:)

Hello all!

Been so busy

I have a loooooong date (4th date after coffee last week then two somewhat impromptu lunch dates on Fri and Sat after my last update!) coming up Wednesday with the new RL chap. Well, I've known him for years but only ever considered him a friend, and he was in a relationship til early this year. Excellent spark/click whatever on the two lunch dates. We might have snogged for hours just a little bit.

We are having lunch, going to a spa, then out for dinner and cocktails. And the spa might just happen to be at a posh suite room hotel he has booked. What was just going to be dinner has turned into something a bit epic!

I have just ordered this dress: www.houseoffraser.co.uk/Phase+Eight+Luella+dress/162719357,default,pd.html in a 16!! woohoo! I have new shoes in a matching colour too (bluey purple suede high heels) and a black bag. and jewellery. and underwear, and a new swimsuit and a robe and new underwear. Ahem.

I am a little bit excited :o Shock

www.houseoffraser.co.uk/Phase+Eight+Luella+dress/162719357,default,pd.html oops forgot link thingy

adamschic · 23/04/2012 12:39

Wow, Lubey, you've cracked it, well done. I love the dress too Grin.

MirandaWest · 23/04/2012 12:40

Hello :)

Mr Nice said he still had a smile on his face yesterday from the date on Saturday :) And has said would love to see me again. Don't want to sound too eager or use up my free time too much though (am free this Thursday night, then next Thursday and Friday nights). Will suggest Thursday and see what he says.

(feel a little daft with this dating stuff. Never did do dating in my previous existance - feel thus is what I should have been doing 20 years ago...)

hatesponge · 23/04/2012 12:42

lubey that dress is gorgeous, you will look fab I'm sure.

MirandaWest · 23/04/2012 12:42

Ooh Lubey that all sounds v exciting Grin

hatesponge · 23/04/2012 12:43

and the date sounds amazing too. Lucky you Grin

I have text something ill-advised to the Scot. I am such an idiot...

TimeForMeAndDD · 23/04/2012 12:43

Wow lubey that's one hell of a date! Grin Love your dress too! Please promise you will update us afterwards!! Oh, and you you have every reason to feel excited Smile

Sponge bless him, four kisses is good from a bloke Grin I think you should read into that that he is really sorry he can't meet you this weekend and don't be upset by it. Ask him when he is free and get a firm date set, then you have something to look forward to.

Thanks adamschic

I dunno about cracked it - I still don't think I want or have time for a relationship as such or if he would even want that anyway but I've certainly cracked this having fun lark again, and dating being fun!

He is marvellous company and ticks pretty much every box on my cosmic order list

TimeForMeAndDD · 23/04/2012 12:45

What have you text sponge? "Ok , well can you pop in for a top up shag on your way to the M25" Grin

Thanks all :o

I am still stuck on 26.5lbs lost in weight but thankfully it's juuuuuust about enough to squidge into a 16 if it has some stretch in it and im lucky

So i thought that was worth a celebration with a new dress - and what a way to christen it!

TimeForMeAndDD · 23/04/2012 12:48

Try a no carb/low carb way of eating for a couple of days lubey, that should help get things moving and help you drop a pound or two.

I'm really pleased for you Smile

hatesponge · 23/04/2012 12:49

Time it wasn't far off that. I suggested he came round to mine after work on Sat (if I promised to let him get some sleep) Blush

He has replied and said sounds like a plan, he'll let me know what time.

adamschic · 23/04/2012 12:52

Oh I forgot all about the cosmic ordering. I did it too, must double check my list and when I wrote it.

watchoutforthatsnail · 23/04/2012 12:52

sponge - tell him thats a shame, but what about ... date instead.

LUBEY!!!!!!!! a 4th date and a posh dress. that is amazing and well done on the weight loss too.

lubeybooby · 23/04/2012 12:52

Yay hatesponge :o

So - can someone give me a recap on what's currently happening? Just grabbing some lunch and trying to read back but i'm all of a giddy dither for some reason

Please please!
