apologies for title, I am bereft of ideas as the sodding times 'kindly' edited my profile for me. Angry

I always think of pork pie when I think of picnics. And scotch eggs. Lying down never crossed my mind. Can you tell it's been a while since I had any action?

Am loving the Crown Snape, it suits you!

ChaoticismyLife · 01/06/2012 12:29

I didn't even know there was a CrownConfused

Afternoon Grin

Yes, it's Sad about the job but I'm bouncing back and taking the optimistic view that there is something better out there for me. I do tend to be more of a glass half full person and in my optimism I ordered this just in case I got a second interview and it was still warm. Despite not getting the second interview I'm thinking of keeping it because it looks good and it fits really well and doesn't emphasize my stomach. I've also sent off a load of job applications so you never know.

watch I'll have missed you but I hope you have a good time...and don't get rained on, it's lovely here again today so hopefully it will be there too.

sponge I have to be cheeky and ask but can I have a look at the photo too [nosey emoticon]

hatesponge · 01/06/2012 12:41

chaotic I love that dress! definitely says I am a capable professional, employ me :)

time if poss could you forward door mans photo to chaotic pls?!

(and no-one is allowed to say hes much better looking than me, even though I know tis the truth!)

TimeForMeAndDD · 01/06/2012 12:51

Chaotic I love that dress! Tis gorgeous!! I love your optimism too Smile

If you don't mind PMing me your email address I can forward you Sponges dishy doorman, email is the only way I can do it.

MyLittleMiracles · 01/06/2012 12:51

watch sorry that came out wrong. What I meant was normally you would write him off for not having his own place, you dropped that requirement and seem to be having some luck

ChaoticismyLife · 01/06/2012 12:52

Awww sponge you are gorgeous, stop putting yourself down. I know you've had your confidence knocked but you really are an intelligent, attractive woman and a successful one too.

Thanks re dress. I'll give my opinion of doorman after I've received a photo. Has it occured to you that maybe he is interested but hasn't said anything because he thinks you're too good for him and would turn him down?

MyLittleMiracles · 01/06/2012 12:57

I am off to see my friend who I seem to be spending a fair bit a lot time with and loving it. Grin life is a roller coaster.full of ups and downs. You just have to bounce with them. Atm I am up but I bounce up and down a lot.

Snapespeare · 01/06/2012 12:57

that is a FABULOUS DRESS!!!!

Thank you Time and Snape :)

MLM have a good day.

TimeForMeAndDD · 01/06/2012 13:13

I have emailed you Chaotic Smile

watchoutforthatsnail · 01/06/2012 13:15

and im back.
Its raining lots, so we left the picnic and headed for an artisan tea house that has just opened. vair vair posh.
had a fab time. AGAIN.
one quick kiss on the lips when we met, and a tiny, tiny, tiny snog outside the teahouse in the rain. and for gods sake i need to snog that man, properly.
i walked back to work ( alone, hes off to a gig in london) alernating between swooning and gggrrrring out loud with frustration.
stupid amout of sexual tension. spent most of the time giggling and blushing for goodness sake. and then at one point i couldnt even talk, because my brain was playing filth and i couldnt think. so, we just laughed and blushed and made the situation worse for each other.
damn.
So, maybe i get this 5 date thing.

and hes very nice, as in, the town doesnt have pavements, and not many cars go though, but those that do, do tend to wizz alone, and he put his arm round me when a van came ( how sweet is that) and then said he would walk on the road side.
which i think is lovely, and noone has ever done that before.

ChaoticismyLife · 01/06/2012 13:15

Received Grin

sponge verrrrrrrrrrrrry nice, I can see exactly what you see in him. I really do think you'd make a lovely couple.

watchoutforthatsnail · 01/06/2012 13:19

oooohhh, we have Crown's fuck. how awesome!

sponge - he is nice looking. looks really young. But i dont think anyone is out of anyones league, you are being daft :)

chaotic, fab dress.

snape - glad you had a fab time. and bless pm. sounds like you have a great weekend planned too :)

TimeForMeAndDD · 01/06/2012 13:29

watch Grin The anticipation! I'm loving it! It's the best bit you know, once you've had sex and got to know each other it's all down hill from there, so enjoy the moment! Grin

watchoutforthatsnail · 01/06/2012 13:34

well, it is sort of good actually. sort of like when you were about 15 and you just spent ages fancying someone.... without doing anything, and then finding out they liked you , and trying to work out getting together. and then spending hours just kissing.
thats the bit i need next. please!
seeing him an evening next week, not sure which, due to band practice, but def wed or thur.

collegues have just come and given me the spanish inquisition, and now im blushing like crazy! they said ' they knew i was up to something' and they saw me kissing a ' boy' on the corner outside work. i am both mortified and pleased.
:)
how funny

TimeForMeAndDD · 01/06/2012 13:38
Grin

Tis lovely!

PostBellumBugsy · 01/06/2012 13:39

Yay Watch, sounds like you had another lovely date. What a great way to end the week & all that fizzing anticipation to keep you smiling too. Wink

watchoutforthatsnail · 01/06/2012 13:45

fizzing anticipation - pah, ill be out of batteries before the day is though!

the last time i went about things this way i was 18 and had spent the whole summer madly fancying this boy and then all the angst of it all and then finally getting together ane being so happy about it. and then we spent pretty much the next 4 months snogging. for hours and hours and hours:)

since then its been sex first, work out if you like them later. even my marriage was off the back of a one night stand.

so, it is lovely, but also im not used to it, at all. but it is nice. really nice actually.

hatesponge · 01/06/2012 13:52

watch that sounds lovely, am so pleased for you. I love that fizzy excitement feeling, its brilliant :)

door man does look a bit young, doesnt he? he is definitely younger than me, but only about 5 years or so Blush He looks a bit older in the flesh though not much.

watchoutforthatsnail · 01/06/2012 13:55

my date. i dont know what to call him - samename? because he has the same name as me!!!
well, hes 4.5 years younger than me Blush
but i dont notice it, i know he doesnt.

when is door man coming to do your quotes?

TimeForMeAndDD · 01/06/2012 13:58

I think we should call him MrLovely, because that's what he seems to be. Smile

Sponge maybe he is a lot younger but has lied about his age so he's not as young as he really is so that you won't think he is too young for you Grin

watchoutforthatsnail · 01/06/2012 14:04

or Mrwhereishehidingtheskeletons - because, really? like REALLY? hes way too lovey to be real.

sponge - time might be right there :)!!!!!

TimeForMeAndDD · 01/06/2012 14:07

STOP IT!! Stop that right now young watch!!! No negative thinking and no looking for problems that are not apparent. Just enjoy it, and give us all hope! I need him to be as lovely as he is appearing to be. I need my faith in men restoring, the relationship threads on here just don't do it for me Smile

watchoutforthatsnail · 01/06/2012 14:12

ah, its ok. i remembered the skeletons - the living at home thing!!!! hahahahahahahahahahahaha

im not thinking negativley at all. hes calling me later :) so im looking forward to that, and then seeing him next week :)

TimeForMeAndDD · 01/06/2012 14:15

Ahhhh but, HE might own the house, his parents and siblings might live with him. You hadn't thought of that had you? No.
