Bacon sarnies in suspenders, jacket strokers, coffee with a small 'c' and LOTS of Coffee with a capital 'C' it's dating thread 32

[lulubellaboozle]

Thought I take the liberty of starting us off again ...

My mojo has stropped off....no ...pleased for you lovely!

Managed to shove the tree up tonight with the kids. Its on the wonk...but that's about right...

48 yay! That's great! :)

Snape good luck for the appeal- when do you get to hear the result?

Yoga sympathies re DD, it's no excuse for her behaviour but I imagine her hormones are raging. It will get better...another 6 years or so and she'll be fine :)

I was a horror as a teen (not in terms of going out etc, but at home arguing, breaking stuff, I still have a terrible temper and it was awful when I was younger). I am getting most of it back now through DS1...am hoping DS2 (who hasnt inherited my temperament) will give me an easier time.

Hoping I might hear from Cuthbert later as is his work Xmas party so he will be pissed slightly tipsy. In the meantime, the obviously only after sex bloke is still texting me. Would be nice to hear from Cuthbert even half as much!

48!!! Wonderful news. What's been going on?

velvet probably week starting 2nd January. If I win this I'll get around £2500 in arrears. I will need to pay the things I haven't been able to pay for a bit, but I might be able to clear some debt as well... If I don't, I need to revisit plan B of marrying a footballer.

OWW stayed over with Mr R&R last night. Our 2nd night together.

All I can say is who ever taught him. I could kiss her

48 you may not want to suggest that to him this early on :)

Too late Bantababy

Spoon I was a bit of a horror at that age too but never quite as bad as this. We'll be lucky to both make it another 6 years. Please tell me boys are at least a little easier????

And Woo Hoo for Rock & Roll!

yoga boys are allegedly better despite me wondering all day when it's ever going to stop although there are still challenges.

My contribution from the battlefront is that it depends on the individual - ds2 ( 15) delightful baby and toddler and occasionally slightly stroppy teenager, dd (13) generally lovely, if verbose toddler and child, now intermittent moodiness, demands to have piercings/orange face/hooker clothing/bizarre eyebrows, no actual violence but frequent door slammings, ds1 (17) demanding,difficult,stroppy from the moment he was born, tantrumming, fighty,constantly hungry because ' there is LITERALLY nothing to eat' in the house, occasionally nice to me, presumably in an effort to keep me on my toes.

My son is 23. Went to hell and back with him between 14 and 19. Then almost over night the person I knew was still inside returned.

My daughter is 17. Born stroppy! Had to keep her on a tight rein or she would of eaten me for breakfast. Outside of home. No problems. Recently I have started to believe she is human after all

She has even bought and put thought into christmas presents for me

48 My DD sounds a bit like yours only younger - born stroppy, great outside the home but would eat me for breakfast if I let her!

mine weren't too bad..even better they've both left home now..bliss:) :)

My DD is 7 and always has had a mind if her own .. I've got all of this to look forward to!!

I take my hat off to all of you with younger chidren that are or have got of the sofa.

Respect!

Mine are still OK at 9 and 7 although tbh DS (the 9 year old) has got generally nicer recently thinking about it.

I will obviously eat my words soon and both children will suddenly show their true colours

Is it wrong that part of me is disappointed that I had to turn down Mr Nice's offer of definitely Coffee tomorrow morning as he is going to have a house empty of teenager who will be at school. Is school Christmas Church services which I love going to (and singing loudly ). Am going round to see him after that but he has a water meter man coming between 12 and 4 and quite possibly a teenager returning as well....

Hmmm. Engaging or singing. Tough choice

I have had a festive epiphany. I am a bit grumpy, because of mraloof. He obviously wants something very casual as in, on his terms, only, and though we saw more of each other at one point it obviously was too relationship-y for him so he vanished on me for weeks. So now I see him once a week and there's been no coffee or Coffee for a couple months I'd say (though there was interrupted coffee maybe a week and a half ago and he ran off home) - so I was happy because I am also very workcentric and antisocial. but I've realised, actually, it might be nice to have a relationship with mr aloof (though I guess not with him because he does not seem to want one) sigh.

sorry, as you were

hey all

well the world is supposed to end today, so good luck to all with dating and stuff.

Speak later :)

bant

Still waiting...

London time, obviously

I hope someone is having armageddon coffee?
