Hello :)

Morning :)

It's been a while since I last saw any time before 8am.

Snape if you want to stick with a sure thing that's fine. I'll stick with the marriage and sex well, at least the sex...good sex and lots of it

Is this the new dating thread or a spin off? help I'm lost... someone retrieve me!!

It's the new thread. Welcome back lubey

snape I am ever so badly slightly jealous. I need to start entering competitions just to try to win!

Johnny Depp does smell divine.

Hi everyone

lubey yes it's the new thread. I wonder if we could get the title edited to include dating thread 14?

Right, teacher turned out to be a bit of a tit. A few nice messages then he started to introduce sex related talk. Now, my profile isn't sexy in the slightest, no cleavage shots, barely there make up, no legs on show, etc but yet he still started talking sex. I don't think it's anything to do with our profiles. I think it's all to do with the minds of men!

Right I've reported myself and asked them to add 'Dating thread 14' to the end of the title.

Time just goes to prove there are certain people who are wrong about sponge's dating profile.

I am seeing mr nice tonight :) I am nicely excited :) we are going to the cinema.

That's good Miranda :)

These threads seem to be having some success.

Ooh thanks! Cool.

Ok - so... date five with Mr Amazing4thdate is tomorrow

Giddy and panicking :o

snape - tell everything!!! Just how lush was JD? Who else did you mingle with?

On a slightly less exciting note, I had a great date with MrMusic. I wept with laughter at one point. As soon as I can get my babysitter organised we are going for cocktails in London.

Thumbs up to Lubey & Miranda for ongoing date success. Where are you headed for your date Lubey?

Awesome thread title Time.

snape, i cant believe you spoke to him :) you need a name change to mrssnapedepp or something.. and obviously the sure thing went like this
snape - hey JD, do you want watches number
JD - SURE THING.

was it all just fab though? we need all the details.

post - a fabled second date!!! wooohooo.

good luck to lubey and miranda for their dates
lubey - are you officially dating then, or is it stil sort of see how it goes?

Time - sorry about the teacher. men are arses.

Still got my date friday, im not so such, he told me hes not working sat now, in case fri with me is a late one, then made ref to cooking breakfast for me. i rebuffed it and said that just so he knows, that wont be happening this weekend, and he said that no, of course not, hes a gentleman. Im not quite so sure. Its a film i want to see, so im going for that reason...

BUT - i think ive been messaged by a bit of a gem, who is not your usual pof type and is very much my type, lots of texts, date now set for next weekend. and hes going to call me tonight ( after checking that was ok with me, and what time im about to take his call)

Watch, those dates sound like there may be some potential. MrGem sounds good & well done for keeping MrBreakfast firmly under control. Given we are all bun-wearing puritans these days!

mrbreakfast! lol. he seems nice, and normal, and has been poliet and chatty... possibly not really my type. BUT, you never know until you meet and have to be open about these things. i will be going out with unshaved legs just to make sure i dont change my mind at the last min. because i think its most likely hes going to try it on.

Mrgem, yes, little bit excited about that one :)

watch excited is good :)

I am :( - my FB tells the tale (not dating related for a change) on the verge of cancelling my party. It's so bad I actually wish I was still with the Ex, because he would have sorted this out for me and I wouldn't be worrying and stressing about it.

whos going to charge you £400 for what?
Whats the problem?
We are good at coming up with ideas and fixing stuff. spill.
:)

For those of us non-facebookers, you have to give a bit more info than that Sponge. What's up?

sponge???

Well, theres a problem with my toilet (broken by my heavy handed offspring ) - it flushes but only after a fashion, and is constantly running. if that makes sense. it's useable for us day to day, but not ideal. and needs fixing, pref before party (as it may soon stop flushing completely...). Also there is another loo in the bathroom which is not plumbed in (Ex never got round to it) which needs connecting.

so...2 weeks ago I told my friend (I'd phoned a few plumbers but none had got back to me to come and look etc). She says her DP will do it as he's just installed their new bathroom. Last Sat she comes round with him. he takes one look at it & goes 'I cant do that you need a plumber'

Thing is I know my Ex (not a plumber) would have sorted it easily. Anyway Friend 2 says oh I'll get my plumber friend to do it. So he says he'll come round Monday. He's 2 hours late. Takes a look, says it's v straightforward to fix one and instal the other and he'll give me a quote tomorrow (ie Tues). I got the quote this morning. For £400.

:(

ah. trickey.
ok - can you fb a message saying along the lines of you desperatley need a loo plumbing in, and can anyone help, dads, husbands, brothers, anyone- or know anyone that can help and that you are desperate and can pay in steak or cake ( food motivates most people.. esp men, its my bribing tool when i need heavy labour)

Anyone at work? Do you have work intranet/ noticeboard?

Nice neighbour - mine just recently fixed and serviced my lawn mower for me saving me £70 in return for cake.

That sounds alot sponge. Fixing or replacing a toilet flush mechanism is relatively straightforward job & the bread & butter of plumbers work.

I can't believe, I am admitting to knowing this stuff, but a toilet that keeps running usually has a broken flapper valve - and you can even buy the bits & replace this yourself from a DIY store. If a plumber came to do it, it would only take half an hour tops!!!!

and the thing is a while back I had quotes to do my whole bathroom (putting in a shower and the toilet and a load of other work, tiling etc etc and that was only £500-600). Being the idiot I am I can't find the details of who did the quotes :(

ah - b&Q, some flirting and doing the usless female act - pick an older man who looks like he knows stuff, flatter him and tell him the problem and ask his advice?

google and a live MN thread for assistance - worth a go?

I can try FB. Nothing ventured etc. Frankly at this stage I'm almost tempted to try and do it myself (I am useless at such stuff).

Post, I was fairly sure it was a quick(ish) job, so him charging £400 - especially when he's a friend of a friend, felt a bit of a cheek. I know times are hard & all that, but even so...

The other thing it could be, from your description, is the water supply valve. Again, you can buy kits to repair this yourself in a DIY store & a plumber could do it for you in no time.
Please don't let someone charge you £400 for these simple jobs.
