Thank-you kirstie for setting my mind at rest. :)

I know I may have teensy tiny trust iasuea, but I wish a burning foof on noone. :)

Snapespeare · 30/11/2012 17:40

Oh 'trust issues'... I must learn to preview....

ike1 · 30/11/2012 18:18

Kirsty I get the impression you have your head 'screwed' on but its always good to have others confirm and uphold your stance. Sometimes it amazes me how many guys think it is ok to take this risk with theirs and others health and some can really put the pressure on. Not sayin that will be The Auditor..but just i case...

ike1 · 30/11/2012 18:21

I always take my own in case the fun turns 'fulsome' that way you know they are in date and kosher not some too tight bright red thai jobby one guy tried to fob me off with.

lulubellaboozle · 30/11/2012 18:25

western I hate him too. Isn't it amazing how so many men get a kick out of exercising their last bit of 'control'. When it is all over you can move on and having a fulfilling life, he'll always be a sad bastard!

pixie and libby in my limited experience you can't go wrong with skinny jeans, heels (boots tonight?) and a blazer/ nice top, looks down at self taking own advice. I think it's the right mix of looking like you've made an effort, but still not looking like you tried too hard! feel free to ignore because the most important thing is that you feel good in what you choose to wear. Have fun xx

KirstyWirsty · 30/11/2012 18:26

ike thanks .. I had planned on taking my own just to be on the safe side .. I bloody hate the things myself but I know it's the smart thing to do

Yogagirl17 · 30/11/2012 18:29

Kirsty I discovered FMXH was fucking sleeping with the other woman sans condoms when he was still sleeping with me!!!! Angry

KirstyWirsty · 30/11/2012 18:46

yoga mine too which is why I got tested at the beginning of the year

Yogagirl17 · 30/11/2012 18:56

Ha - me too! That was a fun conversation. The poor doctor was about 12 and I think he was more embarrassed than I was - I was too angry to bother being embarrassed. It's shocking, isn't it? Even above and beyond how shocking it is that someone you've loved and trusted (not to mention are married to) can cheat - but that they will put your own health at risk without a second thought!

I also had fun returning some aftershave I'd bought for him then never gave him. When the boy at the til asked why I was returning it I said it was because I didn't think my husband's girlfriend liked the fragrance. [bgrin]

KirstyWirsty · 30/11/2012 19:02

Lol yoga I had ordered STBX a private registration plate and after discovery was cancelling it .. The dvla asked why when I bought it in his name .. So I just replied and said I wasn't paying for it as he was having an affair .. The money was refunded immediately Grin

lulubellaboozle · 30/11/2012 19:02

yoga hehe!! when I found out my STBXH was cheating on me I put her name and mobile no on Facebook and suggested people rang her and told her was a piece of shit he was!!

As you can imagine I had to remove the post, but she got a few phone calls first and he, who appearance is everything, was furious! me and my friends still giggle about it!

Yogagirl17 · 30/11/2012 19:07

I am celebrating. [bsmile] Wine

lubeybooby · 30/11/2012 19:23

Hello all - can't even attempt to catch up. I have waved BC off, we were both complete sobbing wrecks a bit of a mess! We had the most amazing time yet though, a very very fitting send off. No regrets.

AndLibbyMakesThree · 30/11/2012 19:24

Yoga, does this mean you've definitely got the job?

BeforeAndAfter · 30/11/2012 19:34

Mercury thank you for your reply; I do appreciate it. I get what you're saying, especially when thinking how I'd feel to hear that I was one of a few... NSA is a slight misnomer - there's always one string. Right, that's me and my ishoos back on the sofa of lurkdom. As you were ...

fayster · 30/11/2012 19:37

Lulu, that's brilliant. Hope everything goes well tomorrow.

Libby, I have a walking date on Sunday as well. As this is only date 2, there will be no getting naked for me, so I intend to wear very warm undies and socks! Not sexy, but then neither is whining and whingeing about being cold, which is what I'd be doing without them. And my down jacket. I love my down jacket.

Yogagirl17 · 30/11/2012 21:26

I have decided I like walking dates. That way at least if the date is boring you can enjoy a good walk.

Aw lubey (hugs) I'm glad you had an amazing time together.

And yes - I have a job! Woo hoo! I start after the new year. Yay me. Yay for woo. Yay for good friends. Yay for being able to pay for stuff. Just...yay.

OhWesternWind · 30/11/2012 21:28

Wonderful news Yoga!!!

Lubey - lots of hugs to you.

MirandaWest · 30/11/2012 21:33

Yay for your job yoga :)

Snapespeare · 30/11/2012 21:40

yoga !!!!!!!

Delighted for you! Grin

Lovely drinks with oldest friend tonight, home to a relatively sane house and chippy-chips.

Of note, sultry downstairs neighbour is back from 3 months of filming the sequel to '300' in Bulgaria and was chopping a tree into fireside logs this afternoon. I sat at my upstairs flat living room window drooling casually reading a book. He is a lovely, and it's nice that he's back. :)

Yogagirl17 · 30/11/2012 21:44

Thank you. :)

(Snape, did you say neighbour has a nice backside?)

MirandaWest · 30/11/2012 22:03

Am on train nearly back home. Trains is sufficently late that I can claim something back for it. And mr nice will be waiting in the platform. Is so late we will have to go straight to bed I think Wink

JulietteMontague · 30/11/2012 22:09

Yay! Yoga, great news Grin Grin Grin

Downstairs neighbour is utterly gorgeous in all ways frankly. I just googled him on order to link a picture and found a torso- pic. I need to lie down and refuse to share. Mine.

StrictlyComeDancingDiva · 30/11/2012 23:00

yoga yay for the job! Really pleased for you! Smile

snape I googled '300' and got Gerard Butler... Is he your neighbour?? Envy
