Problem with goup of "friends"

[FTF]

Hello everyone I am new and this is my first post. From the outside it looks like I have the perfect life. My DH is a successful lawyer. Between us we have a lovely child. As I said this all seems perfect but my problem is a group of so called "friends". They are really bitchy and always going on about how much their husbands earn (I never mention my DH's earnings) and how much their watches costs. I find talking to them very difficult at times and this morning I just couldn't communicate with them at all. I know you will all say "dump them" but the problem is that I sometimes get bored during the day and have no one else to talk to.

What else can I do to pass the time of day?

Its ok my also fictional child is called frogmella ala harry enfield, so you couldnt make it sound like a common name, its just too classy! Dont worry little ollie will only be ridiculed slightly at eaton by tristan for his mothers naming faux pas

If I had said "timepiece" you would have thought I was being pretentious!

oh come on tifty

I appreciate your excitement too Tufty. I like to press my face to the window of the Piccadilly line train between Caledonian Road and King's Cross to catch a glimpse of the ghost York Road station. oooooOOOooooo. Spooky.

Herbaceous I'd find that exciting too.

Could someone press vicariously?

Is your angst re Ollie as a name related to the chant "ollie ollie ollie tits in a trolley" as I dont think its in general circulation anymore, the angst maybe misplaced?! HTH

If your behaviour here is anything to go by you may struggle to make new friends. No-one really likes the mega judgemental...

I found a good way to collect worms. I have a mat outside the door. They seem to like crawling under it.
What is the proper latin name for the study of worms?

I love talking about watches. Why don't I ever meet women like this? :(

helminthology

googling elminthology brings up some papers by very learned people. Bet they don't talk about watches.

I've got those worms on my conscience, I'm going out to get them

horology was watches/clocks secret

helminthology was da worms (least that's what tinternet told me...)

I know a helminthologist - at least, someone who has written a few papers about worms.

I don't know anyone who works with/researches watches or clocks.
However, sometimes I watch the clock.

Pigs can't mend watches but they can eat them.

You cant dive to a depth of 1000m. Dear lord, get your facts correct. And if your husband has a diving watch ... ahhhh, actually cant be arsed.

tufty enjoy your train ride.

OP wont go on the train, I assume she has a driver.

OP seems to have gone

maybe she's shagging the tennis coach so cliched

Why not kill 2 birds with one stone? Dump the friends and have an affair with the tennis coach? You could fill your empty days and improve your forehand in one go

Oh xpost badgers!

Oh yes, it's all in the wrist action, nancy.

This thread has cheered me right up

Piss poor dear. You need wind-up training. Now, there's an evening course you could do.

w you don't want to hear about other people's children. I feel the same.

So tell me a bit about Olly and we'll see if we could be penpals. Or we could skype. That way if you get bored you can pretend to lose connection. And there's no soil involved.I kno

I'm sad the OP disappeared...
