SNAPE!

I didn't. I wouldn't. Nice to see you back on here. Don't text him. Please. It would just make you feel horrible and shitty

Yogagirl17 · 23/11/2012 22:51

Snape Hello! Yay for being drunk. And double yay for NOT having texted Voldemort in a whole MONTH (sounds even better when you say it that way). You're still my hero.

Yogagirl17 · 23/11/2012 22:52

(Western, you are awesome too...hun Wink)

bantamrooster · 23/11/2012 22:57

it's getting on for that time again.. "Giraffes in wheelchairs, drunken doctors and sexting submariners?" - too early for the last two?

Yogagirl17 · 23/11/2012 23:02

I think we have to have the gymnastic dental assistant in there somewhere!

(thx for the advice by the way, got nice reply from gingerbread man to say he hope it goes well)

snapespeare · 23/11/2012 23:04

Oh I know... I know. I just feel lonely and worn out and when I go places at the moment I'm still in that 'oh, last time I was here it was with him and we did so and so' still, the garage at the end of his road holds no fear and I manage to take the short cut past his house and glare up at his window to see if he's in without consequence.

I think it's just because everything else is a bit shit, so I crave familiarity and... Someone adult to just touch me, not even sexually although just to have some proximity with someone a bit appreciative.

That said, he's not appreciative, because he knows I have shit going on and he maintains silence and is intrinsically selfish.

In brighter news, in process of applying for amazing job and may have a good chance at it, so money worries might be
slightly less pertinent...and whilst it doesn't hay happiness, it sure as shot helps to not have the wolf at your door...

JulietteMontague · 23/11/2012 23:04

Well purse my fanjo it's giraffes in wheelchairs, dipso doctors and submariners going down?

Yogagirl17 · 23/11/2012 23:04

I think I have a crush on Freddie Flyntoff- anyone know if he's single and do you think he has a profile on POF? Grin

JulietteMontague · 23/11/2012 23:06

omg Big from SITC is on Channel 5 as a cop. Why did no one tell me this?

Yogagirl17 · 23/11/2012 23:09

Juliette I met him once - I have a pic of him on my phone. He was very sweaty. I didn't care.

Snape He is selfish. He's not appreciative of the awesomeness that you are. Will send lots of positive vibes for job prospect. x

bantamrooster · 23/11/2012 23:13

ooh I mentioned a few pages ago. Or possibly last thread (this thing goes so fast) about a cute girl who fancies me, who winked with no picture, I asked for a picture, she put up some nice ones and then she didn't respond to my email.

She just responded to my email and we seem to be getting on quite well. And she lives about 3 miles from me.

cool.

I've finished the half bottle of red wine I had and now all I have left is warm champagne and 12 year old rum. And lemon vodka. None of which would be a good idea.

snapespeare · 23/11/2012 23:14

The fanjo-purse has to be in there

JulietteMontague · 23/11/2012 23:14

Yoga I'm impressed. He can be sweaty. I wouldn't care.

Fresh sweat obviously.

OhWesternWind · 23/11/2012 23:15

Rum is always a good idea.

snapespeare · 23/11/2012 23:17

I've finished my bottle of white, but did start to buy my Xmas booze stash today (which has to be hidden in my wardrobe as alcoholic xp is here, thanks to parental ex in- law invitation) so I have gin, rum and single malt... Two bottles of red and my emergency champagne (saving that for job success!)

Might try the red. Blush

Yogagirl17 · 23/11/2012 23:33

Juliette have uploaded pic for you to my profile. It's not me in the photo with him, it's my friend so I've blurred her face out.

Snape Red is good...as long as it doesn't lead to texting.

bantamrooster · 23/11/2012 23:44

Wow. She makes up for her slow response with a torrent of emails. And her mobile number and asked for a date.

I think she may run a kids after school group which my DC go to. This is odd. She shall be known as The Artist.

JulietteMontague · 23/11/2012 23:56

I am happy. Big is available to me Grin. Yoga he looks like he's in your sitting room.

bantamrooster · 24/11/2012 00:56

Okay. Been on the phone for an hour with The Artist. Got a date on Sunday evening, after my coffee date with the Venezuelan. Two in one day. go me!

natureslaw · 24/11/2012 05:31

Ironman has just left to drive to Heathrow.
All is lovely, he cooked dinner last night, met one of my friends.
Although I don't think I will see him now until Monday night.

Yoga all of those profiles are ok, I would mail them and see what they have to say first because none of them have said much on their profiles and I would need to know more. None of them are my thing because I'm very picky Ironman was the only one I liked out of dozens of profiles that I looked at but most importantly what do you think?

Yogagirl17 · 24/11/2012 08:14

Morning, early start on a Saturday as usual.

Juliette No, not my sitting room! We were away for the weekend with some friends at a "posh" hotel. Friends and I were all sitting in the lounge drinking coffee when he walked past. The girl in the picture insisted her DH go and ask Big for a photo. He said he was on his way out for a run but would stop by when he got back (no doubt hoping the crazy people would be gone by then!). But we were still there (and on our 4th cups of coffee by then because friend wouldn't let us leave til he got back!) so he very politely obliged and let me take a photo. Hence the sweat.

Bantam ooooooh, look at you. Good luck (and keep us bored people well informed please!). Smile

nature Very nice.

So far the two I messaged last night haven't replied. Ho hum.

So Snape is hungover has spoken and we must have fanjo purse in the next title. We are also hitting the big 3-0! So....how about:

*Well purse my fanjo, we have gymnastic dentists and submariners going dowwwnnnn - the dating thread hits 30!"

snapespeare · 24/11/2012 08:59

I'm a little hungover, but I'm fighting it. Need to go out and buy a pull switch so I can fix the bathroom light. There was no texting. You are very proud of me. :)

Scattylatte · 24/11/2012 09:09

Well done Snape. Indeed very proud of you and your resolve. When I want to text my ex I try to think about what I want to say in the text and that stops me. Then I think of him being smug or dismissive when receiving the text and that stops me again. That's how I get around it somehow.

I've got 'meeting' with the body builder today. Since walking date clearly didn't fancy me I've decided it's all down to daylight meetings. So, I'm not anticipating this will be wonderful as its daylight, he is self absorbed and I have a cold. But I will go as its an opportunity to have lunch.

OhWesternWind · 24/11/2012 09:12

Current status: no hangover, no texts sent or received, So it could be worse ... Will hold firm today but am having friends round later for wine so must not let my resolve be weakened.

I hate all this shit, I really do.

Worried sick about house sale falling through. Buyers were expecting completion last Monday. I'm hoping they feel they've invested enough time and money for them to hang on for a while.

Also I found out yesterday that my mum "half smacked" whatever that means my ds when she was looking after him. She has the dcs a couple of hours most days after school. I rely on her. No idea what to do here. Would love to make other arrangements but simply can't afford to. She is acting very defensive and not really apologetic. Nightmare. My whole life's going up the creek at the moment.
