MyLittleMiracle · 08/05/2012 09:45

snape I am a lot little Envy of you. Why do I never win anything. Lol. Personally I have no long dresses, just 2 knee length ones as in above the knee, but I can bend over in them without showing my knickers bottom.

if Johnny Depp is bowling around there is no guarentee there wont be a flash of my sturdy iron clad M&S shapewear frilly undergarments.

I hadn't thought about shoes. shit. one stars arent going to cut this. I'm off to 'style and beauty'...

TimeForMeAndDD · 08/05/2012 09:52

OMG! Johnny Depp! Even I would put out for Johnny Depp!! Congratulations on yet another amazing win Snape! I am awaiting you book on how to win competitions!!

Sponge can you just let us know you are ok, love. Saw your thread, horrified is an understatement!

hatesponge · 08/05/2012 10:04

Time I'm fine, I have a thick skin Grin. And some people were helpful and nice. Plus Watch had my back.

Snape Am excited on your behalf! A premiere!! I have a fabulous midnight blue long dress which I am currently too fat for. It is a 14 if that's any good? You would be welcome to borrow it. it is somewhat slutty because apparently that's how i dress Hmm

TimeForMeAndDD · 08/05/2012 10:10

I'm pleased to hear it Sponge Smile are you wearing your high neck jumper today? I didn't realise our boobs equalled 'I am a slapper and I want sex'. I didn't realise we are responsible for the way men think of us. Men look at boobs full stop. A bit of cleavage on show does not entitle a man to think you are up for sex.

MyLittleMiracle · 08/05/2012 10:41

Definitely agree boobs on show or not I still get attention and to be fair when it happened with me and just friends I was actually covered. Skinny jeans and a nice top, not even low cut. Didn't show anything unless I bent right down. Making coffee does not require that. God knows what would have been said about the way o have dressed on the past. Gosh I now have tops that cover more than my school uniform did.

TimeForMeAndDD · 08/05/2012 11:15

If boobs are not on show, men will look at a legs, or bum. Or eyes. Men look at women and their minds do the rest. If a woman's chestage is covered up it can be even more tantalising to a man. And yes, I do actually talk from experience! Grin

MsCellophane · 08/05/2012 11:59

I have dated men that only converse with my boobs - under a polo neck! I can't believe that other thread

Sponge, don't be disheartened

My 3 dates ended up as two -so not a bad weekend

MrWork - as I said, snogged but hardly a word all weekend, so will leave him behind until he contacts

MrPolite - Lovely, lovely bloke. We grew up in same town and have friends in common (very odd as have never met) HAd another kiss in the carpark but not sure if I really fancy him. He's nice looking, nice company but no spark. And of course, he has been texting ever since and asking for another date. Why is it always the ones you're not sure about/don't like that come back?

Still texting loads with the other one (can't think of a name for him) All weekend and we spoke on the phone. Still no nearer getting a date with him but he did mention briefly meeting tonight but in his town. Which I might just do as I just want to meet him to see if we get on in real life

I've moved my profile back to dating for the time being, mainly as I don't want to deal with 20 messages a day - though still woke up to 8 Grin

On other news, my dd has joined pof! She is having loads of success but we have done a deal in that her profile restricts over 30 and mine restricts unders - can't be talking to the same people!

TimeForMeAndDD · 08/05/2012 12:08

My DD has joined POF too MrsC and had a date with the most lovely guy at the weekend, and they are seeing each other again!

MyLittleMiracle · 08/05/2012 12:37

I have updated my profile and a new pic. Seem to get interest but not sure any man is worth my time. I have a couple of numbers if I really want some. But not that desperate yet. I went 5 months, I can go a couple of weeks see what happens. Seem to have accepted a couple of Spanish lads from Barcelona on Facebook. Good looking too.

MyLittleMiracle · 08/05/2012 12:40

It's so unfair. Though to be fair I have been asked for a second date by three of them. But it isn't fair to be comparing them to someone else. Especially when they don't match up

zanywany · 08/05/2012 14:06

HI everyone, catching up

Grin
TimeForMeAndDD · 08/05/2012 14:14

Have you told everyone yet Zany? I've been waiting for facebook pics of the rock Grin And have you changed your FB status to 'engaged'?

you very brave woman

MyLittleMiracle · 08/05/2012 14:16

Why aren't I on Facebook with you girls? looks very sad my ring got sold. Congratulations zany now to get me someone to marry me and this time I want a church and stunning dress.

MirandaWest · 08/05/2012 14:41

I am also not on fb with everyone else joins MLM in billy no mates corner

zany that is a very lovely sparkly ring :)

My engagement ring is in a drawer along with wedding ring. Not sure what I'll do with either of them. Would sell the wedding ring but not sure I'd get much for it. Still quite like the engagagement ring as a ring although could obviously never wear it again. Will consider.

No one ever addresses my breasts as they are v small (although perfectly formed). Haven't had any complaints about them ever though :)

MyLittleMiracle · 08/05/2012 15:03

I am not exactly the biggest (36d) but still get looks although I have to admit i have a bum that's as firm as rock. That fooled Carl when he came up behind me and slapped it. His hand hurt a lot more than my bum. It's not that solid anymore but still pretty firm.

MirandaWest · 08/05/2012 16:02

I have been told I have a sexy bum :)

MyLittleMiracle · 08/05/2012 16:45

Me too and that I can do that beyonce thing still and in heels. Thought I had lost the ability but apparently not......

I have also been told I am a dirty little flirt and I shouldn't be such a tease......hey that's half the fun.

MyLittleMiracle · 08/05/2012 18:03

I am talking to someone new and I am naming him Mr compatible

He has a son same age as mine
He is into criminal law
He looks cute
He uses proper English, proper sentences, and proper paragraphs.
Sees his son 3 times a week.

Sounds pretty good.

I am aiming to work for the c.p.s eventually
I like proper English.
I am very cute ( stop laughing at me I am)

FateLovesTheFearless · 08/05/2012 19:41

Pfft, not on fb at the moment, I want to see your ring zany! Grin

notsurewhyohwhy · 08/05/2012 21:24

sponge - hey I just had a abit of a read through your other thread, I had a look at your profile, and I think that is the ammended version? I think you look lovely and didn't get to see the old version, but I bet you look lovely there too Smile

It says that to contact you that they must have a photo, maybe you could also add, must not be looking for IE or hangout? as I have that on mine, not sure if it works though as I have had a few messages asking if am up for ONS etc. But maybe it will help alittle Hmm

also sending ((hugs))

PoppaRob · 08/05/2012 23:14

Zany! Just checked your FB profile and no ring pic! We want to see the rock girl! :)

MLM - Any boobs between a B and a D are more than acceptable, although I must admit I have a thing for smallish ones. Not into the Beyonce / JLo bubble butt at all - the tight "buns of steel" look does it for me. Of course a cute smiling face is the thing that will always attract my attention! Wink
