sponge - ive just PM'ed you details re the meany poster :)

whole back story wihch i wasnt aware of and which would make people think differently and expose her for what she really is. MNHQ are apparently aware.

Snapespeare · 09/05/2012 14:22

spot the snape prize - I'll let you have my sloppy seconds? Grin

no camera, I have my phone and my ipad (but ipad won't fit in my tiny vintage clutch purse...) DD has her blackberry. could do a live thread. Wink

time love it, 'sorry, got a date with Johnny Depp tonight. I'm free next weekend, if I let my standards slip to potato-level.'

watchoutforthatsnail · 09/05/2012 14:24

oh - do a live thread.
PLEASE!

TimeForMeAndDD · 09/05/2012 14:25

It's a shame those who agreed with her and joined in don't know what her ulterior motive is too. That could have been a helpful thread if it hadn't been derailed.

Anyway Sponge for the record, I think/thought all your pictures are lovely. I love the one of you in the red dress, you look so happy and as though you are having a really nice time. I especially love your black and white pic, but I've told you that before. You are a very attractive woman and it isn't a reflection on you at all that you haven't met a man worthy of you. Naturally, the more unique you are, the less there is available so you are going to have to be patient. Have you thought about joining a marbling class Grin

TimeForMeAndDD · 09/05/2012 14:27

Mmm, a date with a potato is going to be a bit of an anti climax after Johnny Depp. I love Johnny Depp. I just do.

MsCellophane · 09/05/2012 14:33

Snape - I'm so jealous, yes do a live from the red carpet for us!!

Sponge - you are a fab woman, I liked your old profile, that thread was evil

The nosey me would love the gossip on the evil name changer, so feel free to pm me

watch - well done on YKW - you are doing the right thing on not engaging

MLM - I think you need to stop thinking about your justfriends, he has shown his true colours, he isn't a nice man. Can I ask how old he is?

I have one gone off the radar (MrWork), one who is super keen but I'm not sure about but I think we will meet on Fri. And the one I really want to meet (theonewithnoname) is being evasive. Very chatty - whatsapp/text/pof - entertaining, friendly, no smut - but no closer to meeting

I have 2 new numbers so will see how they go

I have also set my profile to casual dating and in 3 days only 3 messages from unsuitables. Think I will just go back to IE, at least I was getting messages

MyLittleMiracle · 09/05/2012 14:34

Some people are just plain obnoxious. and its really unnecessary. People who are repeatedly like that should be warned and then if it continues, banned.

Snapespeare · 09/05/2012 14:35

I couldn't be that self indulgent.

i will probably incessantly update my fb though. (if anyone isn't a friend of fb, do pm me for details etc :) )

TimeForMeAndDD · 09/05/2012 14:40

I personally think everyone should be aware of who the vicious poster is! I don't see why she should have the privilege of hiding behind several a username. It's disgraceful. It's keeping quiet that allows things like this to continue.

IE does have it's uses doesn't it MrsC Grin I'm going back to IE once I've updated my profile. I'm on a mission now, now the weather is getting better I want a date!

MyLittleMiracle · 09/05/2012 14:50

Just friends is 28 so not much older than me. I know his career HAS to take over she says sulkily so just waiting, but meanwhile I am chatting to others too. And considering asking if my pilot friend has any fit work colleagues (its the uniform)

Life goes on and I am busy studying. Everyone else seems to be chasing their dreams so I am chasing mine now.

zanywany · 09/05/2012 14:50

I'm nosey curious so PM me to let me know the name changer Grin

MyLittleMiracle · 09/05/2012 14:54

I changed my name once. I plan to change it in a sec, but I am only adding an s on it, so it becomes miracles instead of miracle.

MirandaWest · 09/05/2012 15:08

I am too busy. Work, children, Mr Nice (in some order or other). But all good. Going to the cinema with him tomorrow night we may possibly kiss in the back row as we feel we are both really teenagers just a little older :)

watchoutforthatsnail · 09/05/2012 15:44

im not going to to spill on the evil namechanger, though i should think its fairly obvious really.

MyLittleMiracles · 09/05/2012 15:47

I am pretty busy. If I am going out to meet someone it means getting a baby sitter, getting dressed up, getting there and back, and I cba at the moment. When justfriends comes over that's all I do, is get changed, re apply make up, sorted (little man is normally in bed by then) and yep I would be arsed. But right this moment I would tell everyone to sod off.

ChaoticismyLife · 09/05/2012 16:40

Afternoon :)

Snape how exciting :) Have a wonderful time, I'm sure Johnny will fall for you the minute he sees you Wink

sponge I've seen a little bit of your thread but haven't had chance to read more than the first few posts so not entirely sure what's happened. I can guess though, from some of the posts I've had chance to read...ignore the bitches.

I'm not entirely sure who I have and don't have on fb tbh. I tend to get mixed up as to who is who wrt to fb names and boardnames.

MyLittleMiracles · 09/05/2012 17:04

You don't have me! Lol. But I did close my fb cos of my psychotic ex but back up and running.

TimeForMeAndDD · 09/05/2012 18:07

I am a little bit in shock. I have received a message from a very nice man. Good looking, tall. A teacher. Can spell!! My heart is beating a little bit too fast. This has thrown me somewhat!! Shock

He is only 37 but I don't think a ten year age gap matters at this stage. No.

watchoutforthatsnail · 09/05/2012 18:32

Time, well, now there's a turn up!!! Hope he turns out to be lovelyn.

TimeForMeAndDD · 09/05/2012 18:39

I've cut straight through the bullshit to the chase and asked him what he is looking for. A FWB. That's not me I'm afraid. I know I don't want marriage but I do want to be more than a FWB Smile

But he is very nice Grin

MyLittleMiracles · 09/05/2012 19:08

Well it looks like just friends has been very busy. So maybe I have been a paranoid Twat little hard on him.

Really do hope he gets his dream, cos I plan on working my butt off to get mine!

MyLittleMiracles · 09/05/2012 19:10

time you need to go for what you really want, or you will end up wanting more.

TimeForMeAndDD · 09/05/2012 19:22

Yes MLM, that's what I'm doing Smile I'm happy being single so I don't mind the wait.

ChaoticismyLife · 09/05/2012 19:32

Well he was a step in the right direction anyway Grin

TimeForMeAndDD · 09/05/2012 19:41

Grin Oh my word, yes! Such an improvement too. Definitely not a potato!

He has just messaged saying he has been thinking about it and he wants more than FWB Grin He is in danger of sounding desperate! Plus it could be a ploy, date, date, shag, vanish!
