Yep. The more the merrier! It's time to stop with the brow soothing and pile on the pressure Grin

hatesponge · 17/09/2012 11:05

thing is, I've done the whole unreciprocated love bit in the past. Everyone said to me 'oh, he MUST be interested, the way he looks at you, how he behaves around you' etc etc - and every time the man in question never was, cue the rebuffs I mentioned above.

But honestly their apparent interest in me was as nothing compared to PMs in you, Snape. And I'm sure you are either consciously or subconsciously downplaying it in any event, so his feelings for you may be even more obvious in reality.

I honestly wouldnt be urging you on if I didn't think there would be a happy ending, but I really, really do. And I'm never wrong about other people.

snapespeare · 17/09/2012 11:06

made a start not quite finished, there will be a doctor who quote on the top part of the page, ''people fall out of the world sometimes, but they always leave traces, little things you can't quite account for: faces in photographs; luggage; half eaten meals; rings. Nothing is ever forgotten, not completely and if something can be remembered, it can come back."

won't eb able to update my fb wuth all of these as he will twig, but i'll occasionally post them up here if i may, just so I can keep track of things...

TimeForMeAndDD · 17/09/2012 11:13

Oooh yes please Snape, do post them here, I love them. You are quite brilliant.

Ermm... does anyone else get the feeling Snape is ignoring overlooking our Pressure and PM comments?? Eh?

MsCellophane · 17/09/2012 11:14

Thought I would sign in and say hi.

I put myself on the sofa as over the summer I had no time to date but am now hoping to get a few coffees in as life has gone back to normal

I've been reading and following all the antics.

Hotbutdim is still around and we still have our monthly arrangement which has kept me sane - so one of us did get a FB in IE experiment

I see watch and snape are having a coffee on weds - I'm quite possibly going to be in London on weds so if you fancy one more, let me know when and where - it would be lovely to meet the two of you

Lueji · 17/09/2012 13:34

I think snape needs to give us PM's e-mail.

Wink

Or, those of you that are on FB, just tell the guy.

Because she's never going to do it, are you? Wink

snapespeare · 17/09/2012 14:11

yes, abolsutely it's platonic.man@dontyoufuckingdare.com.

I've just counted the pages in the book and there are SODDING WELL THIRTY! I do not have that many ideas. I am currently googling photographs of dead pigeons. That's romantic!

Ms C - we're meeting quite early - what's your avaliblity? :)

TimeForMeAndDD · 17/09/2012 14:16

Don't worry Snape, your secret is safe with me, PM will not hear of your love and adoration from my keyboard Smile

I think you should however, have a page of our book that is dedicated to all the wonderful help, advise and support you have received from us lot on thread Grin PM doesn't have to understand it. And it has to be better than dead pigeons.

snapespeare · 17/09/2012 14:27

It has been wonderful help, advise and support and I kiss you all lightly on the cheek and offer Wine in abundance at our wedding. Grin

I shall name the pigeons after you all. Hmm

watchoutforthatsnail · 17/09/2012 14:34

Yes, with dd. So expect a whirlwind of excited child :)

Snape, could you do So many, then do a note on one page, that the book is unfinished, and you will add to it at times of triumph, sadness, hilarity abd special occasions... Maybe write it more poetically??

TimeForMeAndDD · 17/09/2012 14:36

Failing that, just tear some pages out....

snapespeare · 17/09/2012 14:38

:) I might lose a couple of pages. no one could possibly ever love anyone enough to do 30 pages. nnnnn

TimeForMeAndDD · 17/09/2012 14:40

How about sticking little things in it, like cinema tickets and stuff, memories of some jolly good times. Or is that not quite what it's about?

snapespeare · 17/09/2012 14:42

they're all stuck in my replica river songs diary Blush

watchoutforthatsnail · 17/09/2012 14:43

Or, make the last few pages a flip book, that show pm bonking kissing you?

hatesponge · 17/09/2012 14:46

30 pages is a LOT. I am sure collectively we can come up with some other ideas though. You might have to wait tomorrow for mine as I am so ridiculously tired that I am pinching myself to stay awake and on my 7th coffee of the day due to going to bed at gone 1am and then very stupid man phoning me at 5am Hmm

I am literally counting the seconds til 5pm...

watchoutforthatsnail · 17/09/2012 14:48

What man phoned you at that time sponge?

snapespeare · 17/09/2012 14:55

5AM!

you seem a bit brighter sponge, I'm glad! :)

snort! at flip book. Grin

hatesponge · 17/09/2012 15:15

Sorry am lol'ing at the flip book of bonking kissing Grin

The culprit was the soldier who was being an arse because he phoned me last night and I said I was too busy to speak to him (I was artificially ageing DS's homework with a teabag, and frankly couldnt be bothered with a conversation which will only descend into filth anyway) and I might call him later but didn't.

I didn't answer the phone but I have since told him by text that he's an arse. No apology of course Hmm

watchoutforthatsnail · 17/09/2012 15:22

Oh, for gods sake. How ridiclous.
Id be mighty pissed off.

Yogagirl17 · 17/09/2012 15:29

Not really the point, but...why were you ageing DS's homework?

NicholasTeakozy · 17/09/2012 15:58

Fab painting Snape. About filling the notebook, how about using some of the thread titles for inspiration, like Adele stroking a cat, and Johnny Depp as Captain Wossisface.

The notebook idea is lovely and romantic btw and if he doesn't 'get' it he's a massive idiot.

hatesponge · 17/09/2012 16:13

Yoga it was a letter from Macbeth to Lady Macbeth...teacher had told class to make it look old (hence teabag)

Things might be looking up for me, possible new (and much better paying/less stress!) job on the horizon...now I just need to find a man to take here Grin

Yogagirl17 · 17/09/2012 17:29

Oh wow sponge that looks amazing!

snape I'm in awe of your artistic skills.

Am now doing what I believe is known as stupidly "getting my hopes up". Really enjoying our emails, he seems normal, smart, funny etc. Getting good vibes. But still can't help but think that when we meet he will have bad teeth/smell of cheese/think I'm too short/be obsessed with whisks (Wink)...
