Hiya thanks for the birthday wishes Smile and yes it was my birthday, mr tall/ persistent didn't make it up Grin

Just wondering of you ladies can help me out with something!

Fwb will be coming over next weekend and I'm going to cook, can you suggest something light but nice to eat that will be impressive at the same time?

TimeForMeAndDD · 24/05/2012 17:04

Lovely dress Chaotic.

I am speechless Childofisis. That's what men do? Hmm

TimeForMeAndDD · 24/05/2012 17:05

Notsure Pot Noodle! Grin

notsurewhyohwhy · 24/05/2012 17:07

Grin I was hoping for something slightly more impressive then pot noodle!! Lol

Hmm gave me an idea though, how shout stir fry and Thai fish cakes Hmm

Snapespeare · 24/05/2012 17:17

salmon and lemon linguine with cream.

you need a lemon, a pint of single cream, black pepper and pasta, maybe a tad of garlic... heat the cream, stir in the salmon, finely grate a lemon into the mix, add in the juice of the lemon, stir in cooked pasta and black pepper to taste.

is yummy!

ChaoticismyLife · 24/05/2012 17:22

Mmmmm.....sounds lovely :) Do you cut the salmon in pieces or is it whole?

Snapespeare · 24/05/2012 17:25

I just use a tin (!) but works equally well with flaked cutlet of salmon or those cheap odd ends of shaved salmon...

OP posts:
ChaoticismyLife · 24/05/2012 17:29

Even better, that means I can buy a tin and then if I don't feel like it in the two days after shopping I can still have it.

ChaoticismyLife · 24/05/2012 17:31

Glad you all like the dress, it actually made me look halfway slim as well as looking nice on so that clinched it.

Snapespeare · 24/05/2012 17:32

salmon and cucmber sandwiches on brown bread with butter!

I might not actually 'need' sex after all if I have a tinned salmon sandwich....

snape Grin

ChildofIsis · 24/05/2012 17:52

Chaotic the dress looks great.

Yeah what a scumbag!

2 mates comments are, you gotta wade through lots of rotten apples to find the tree and the only thing to do with rotten apples is to feed them to pigs.

So onwards and upwards.
The box-ticker and I have a provisional date for next week, childcare pending so ...we'll wait and see.

You never know his encounter with me may even have encouraged some morals to form!
It's been a learning curve for me, so all is not lost.

watchoutforthatsnail · 24/05/2012 18:29

Child. What a wankbadger!!! It's happened to all of us..... Hes an idiot. Doubt he Will change what hes doing though, because he clearly doesn't care.

Chaotic- fab dress!!!! And good luck!!!

Snape- how goes the Times?
And ill confirm thats a fab meal, we have it lots :)

ChaoticismyLife · 24/05/2012 18:32

Ty Isis and watch :)

peppapiggy · 24/05/2012 18:37

Good luck with interview chaotic.
Do you think its better to get back on horse or leave it a bit? My online man just phoned to let me know he is back with an ex. Met her again last weekend he claims Shock. Me I think always been together, explains why never arranged when to see next and why sometimes would take hours to reply to texts and other times text back and fore. Anyway have got a number of someone who I was texting/e-mailing before online man (well at same time but due to childcare couldnt fit in seeing both just to check out) when he asked me out said I was busy and he said for me to contact when less busy. Do you think any point? Feeling shitty, plus yesterday at thing to arrange ex-H's contact with son discovered he carries a pic of me round with him all the time!! seriously creepy

MyLittleMiracles · 24/05/2012 18:50

I would say get back in the saddle so long as you are prepared for a ride.

Can someone give me a hug please? Just been texting just friends back and forth, and have opened some old wounds, how I tried to make my marriage work, the hurt, the miscarriages etc,so a few tears. It's looming too for when I found out I was expecting junior, the day we got engaged, the day I found junior to have no heart beat. So a tear stained face a little sad.

ChildofIsis · 24/05/2012 19:27

A hug on the way!

Seems to have been one of those days today.

I posted on fb this morning that it was a 'glad to be alive' day, and do you know what it truly is.

So I found out some truth that I didn't want to know, such is life.
From adversity comes strength, after the past 9 months I reckon I'm strong enough to move mountains.

I am so very gratefull for my life and all the supportive friends and family in it.
I wouldn't have it any other way!

lubeybooby · 24/05/2012 19:34

Hi all!

Date six was a blast, 40 hours distilled heaven. Loved it.

Veering between starting to want to have 'the conversation' and then actually being scared by that thought and wanting to leave it as it is.

But after 2 days together, it's the elephant in the room a bit. A small, brightly coloured elephant though, a cheerful one. Not a big hulking great grey annoying thing... but still an elephant. (I know what i mean) Hmmm

Talk, or leave it... dunno.

TimeForMeAndDD · 24/05/2012 19:42

Hey Lubey Smile It all sounds very wonderful. When you say The Conversation, do you mean The Commitment talk, where you both agree you are an item, in a relationship, and exclusive? With things being so wonderful, do you really feel the need to actually say it? Cos it sounds to me like you already have it Smile

Snapespeare · 24/05/2012 19:50

The times is... interesting. Got a message from a tranny. His name is Victoria...when it isn't Barry.

MyLittleMiracles · 24/05/2012 19:52

Don't get me wrong I thank god everyday for what I have. A song came into my head, and it summed up my marriage and what I want to remember it as perfectly:

And if I could hold on through the tears and the laughter, would it be beautiful or just a beautiful disaster.
Kelly clarkson. My ex bought me the album for our 2nd Christmas.

I did hold on through the tears but there is only so much you can put yourself through before you break. I broke, but with help I am back on my feet. A wobble here and there but managing.

hatesponge · 24/05/2012 21:28

lubey, sounds fab

chaotic, thats a fab dress, best of luck for interview :)

snape, I think you should ask the Times for your money back, misdescription and all that! £32 a month should not mean you need to filter emails from pensioners and trannys (both groups no doubt lovely in their own right, but not what you want for that sort of money)

I think I might be about to be asked on a date. I think he is prob a bit of a weirdo, so not sure whether to go - assuming he asks that is. See, I approach everything with SUCH high expectations Grin

Sunshinedelacruz · 24/05/2012 23:39

lol snape. that tops my lady pensioner message.

sponge. keeping the standards high is rockin. why weird?

mlm. hug.

i had to get some stuff from ex's tonight. i thought he would off with me but as soon as he laid eyes on me he wanted to know what i had been up to of late. then we started talking abt why he dumped me when he thought our relationship was the best ever. he said i wasnt commited enough and he knew when i finished my medical course in 2 years id piss off back to oxford where i have a house. that wasnt my intention. he also said i hadnt made any moves to rent my house out to live with him. we have been seeing each other 9 months. i didnt see it like that as my.mum lives in my house. its not abt money as he has loads.
he said he loves me. then he text to say im wonderful but thats it.
i did start crying on the doorstep.
feel fed up now
