Worse than Paul Daniels would be doing Ken Dodd. Shudder.

and I am definitely not going to text Maris, the tuber-faced plank

Bant you seem to have an inordinate amount of success with these attractive ladies!

OhLittleTownofWesternWind · 24/12/2012 22:50

I see your Ken Dodd and I raise you Bernard Manning.

OhLittleTownofWesternWind · 24/12/2012 22:52

Have washed hair with Fairy Liquid (well Tesco own brand) which has improved the colour a bit but left it feeling like horsehair. Will reassess in the morning.

ike1 · 24/12/2012 22:54

That is soo bloody annoying OWW

ike1 · 24/12/2012 22:55

The thought has crossed my mind to text the torso rubber but I dont think its such a good idea ....surprised you have not heared from The Artist, Bant.

Yogagirl17 · 24/12/2012 22:56

I'll see Bernard Manning & raise you John McCririck! Xmas Shock

BantaBaby · 24/12/2012 22:58

ike - messaging doesn't mean success. I'm quite witty sometimes and not ugly. And the fact that I don't message them asking for naked pics works in my favour

SkaffenAmtiskaw · 24/12/2012 22:59

Hi all, and merry Christmas!

Since I was last on the thread there's been quite a lot of change for me: my DD has no longer contact with her dad after he assaulted her last week, thankfully she wasn't physically hurt but she is heartbroken. So it's been a bit of a shitty time for us really. :(

And as for dating, well, I don't know how much of that is going to happen in the future as I will no longer have every other weekend free. Don't really feel like it at the moment anyway! I had a first meeting with a new guy lined up for last friday but cancelled it.

Anyway I hope you all have a good time, now off to catch up on the thread.

Grin Grin Grin at John McCririck!

48howdidthathappen · 24/12/2012 23:02

yoga I thought you meant the bookie, whats his name

48howdidthathappen · 24/12/2012 23:03

I am drunk Blush

Yogagirl17 · 24/12/2012 23:04

Horse racing presenter John and I'd still fucking rather shag him than my ex

48howdidthathappen · 24/12/2012 23:05

Yeah. Thats him.

MsArsebiscuit · 24/12/2012 23:05

Ewwwww John McCririck. In his nasty baggy y-fronts. Picking his nose.

I appear to be feeling queasy.

OhLittleTownofWesternWind · 24/12/2012 23:06

Skaffen so sad to hear your news. Have been in exact same position, please pm if it would help. Now have no contact with ex, he dragged me through court but got the right result. I've had them 24/7 for getting on for two years now and it does get a lot easier and the relief for your dd will be huge. Lots of mixed feelings though - mine have had counselling through school which has links with a charity that do children's counselling.

Hope you're feeling okay. Such a shock and very difficult to get your head round someone hurting their own child. Foul. Lots of hugs.

I have three or four reliable local babysitters plus my mum so can usually get out when I want. Stopping over takes a bit more planning too so don't give up because of logistics.

48howdidthathappen · 24/12/2012 23:14
a cheery little number. See it catching on?
fayster · 24/12/2012 23:15

Lying in bed now listening to drunk people walking past. It's the second Christmas in a row that I've been here and do you know what? I'd rather be here in my bed on my own than with any old tosser who isn't worth my time and effort.

Skaffen, sorry about what happened to your DD.

48, Yoga, who else is called John Mccririck?

Snape, you are doing A Good Thing having your ex there.

BantaBaby · 24/12/2012 23:16

Skaffen - sorry to hear about your DD. I am constantly amazed and sickened to hear about fathers who would hurt their kids.

As Yoga says though, you can, when you're ready, start dating when you've got logistics sorted out. It's not the end of the world as far as that goes.

SkaffenAmtiskaw · 24/12/2012 23:17

thanks OWW, I might take you up on that at some point. I don't think ex will do anything about contact with DD but in any case we reported to the police so it's all documented.

I don't plan on giving up on OD just yet, it'll just be a bit more complicated. Oh and I forgot to say, I've had second date (lunch) with Mr HotYoga, very nice, but no fireworks, although I wouldn't say no to Coffee (haven't had any for far too long!) We'll see in the new year...

48howdidthathappen · 24/12/2012 23:17

Think I was getting John Prescott mixed up. Both charmers Smile

ike1 · 24/12/2012 23:20

Bloody hell 48 dancing to that would give me stitch and make me retch its a bit fast love...

Yogagirl17 · 24/12/2012 23:24

I'm sorry Skaffen, I can't imagine what that feels like. Your poor DD.
