True ... cos he would be the provider for all her needs...bloody hell if only....(ike resumes search for daddy replacement).

Ike, holding hands really doesn't bother me but if the person I was with 'insisted' on it 'always', it would probably piss me off. If I hold hands (and I do, a lot), it is because I want to and it is mutual and not because it is a mandatory expectation. His other thang about having to really want a man.. Yeah.. I'd bum out on that one too I guess... Grin

Anyone else feeling a hit down because its nye? Feel flat today. My plans for the day have been cancelled and now all I've got to look forward to is housework and drudge. I have got a party to go to later but I will be only singleton!!

My positive attitude from yesterday has escaped me...

ike1 · 31/12/2012 10:49

Oh no ThatsNice...there's no choice...it has to be EVERYWHERE...listen to the man no will you??? Lol

Nomore mmm meh really ...gotta barave MnS in a mo for nibbles..

OhLittleTownofWesternWind · 31/12/2012 10:57

Have very foolishly told dc that they can stay up til midnight if they're good ...

Roll on 2013!! This year hasn't been too bad but still full of change, a real transition year. I am so looking forward to next year with fingers crossed no major upheavals and I can just get on and enjoy life. I just need that so much, a year of calm and fun, happy children, things moving on well with LM ...

Am going to paper my bedroom today so that's another symbolic fresh start for 2013.

Out with all the crap and hang ups from the past, in with happiness and trust and fun. That's the plan, anyway!

Ike - could you get some for me too. I cba packing 2 kids in the car, negotiating with 3 year old why he must get into shopping trolley and then fighting my way through a shop.

God I feel sorry for myself today!!!!! Why is it somedays you feel invincible and others you would quite happily get back in bed and sleep!!

OhLittleTownofWesternWind · 31/12/2012 11:01

We are being downmarket and going to tesco for Pringles and peanuts. Oh, and to the vet as I found some "visitors" last night on one of the cats that need to go pronto. Lovely.

NoMore with my DC, we had a deal where I would drive the car forwards on the way to the shop, then they could drive the trolley backwards around the supermarket. Worked for a few months.

lubeybooby · 31/12/2012 11:11

Buggeration. Definitely can't find the dress, just turned whole house inside out looking for it. I must have managed to lose it in a hotel somewhere along my travels. Arse.

Oh well... different outfit currently on a quick wash and dry setting in the machine!

Nomorepain · 31/12/2012 11:14

Bant - My little boy is like the Tasmanian devil - couldn't trust him with a basket let alone a trolley!!! I just found him in the kitchen climbing over the sink and drainer with the tap on! God give me strength!!!

48howdidthathappen · 31/12/2012 11:16

I have hospital visit. Then home alone. I never go out NYE anyway hate all the 'you shall have a great fucking time crap'

Hope date is Grin lubey

OhLittleTownofWesternWind · 31/12/2012 11:18

Good luck Lubey - he won't care what you're wearing, honestly. Give us an update soon as you can.

I love NYE

I don't understand people who find it all maudlin and cry at midnight or are determined not to have a good time. (not saying anyone here is like that btw just an observation over the years!)

For me, whatever crap has or hasn't happened it's a time of new beginnings and starting afresh and that's something to celebrate and be happy about

God knows we NEED stuff to celebrate and be happy about sometimes. New beginnings is a good excuse imho :o

I have red wine, beer, tapas, cake, party poppers and music all lined up for my NYE night in.

I'm hoping the date is good and something to celebrate too! Wink

lubeybooby · 31/12/2012 11:29

Thanks OWW. I will do.

I am still in the dark ages with my phone, it doesn't do interweb... but I'll update soon as I'm back.

Nomorepain · 31/12/2012 11:30

Good luck Lubey and loving the positivity!!!

48howdidthathappen · 31/12/2012 11:39

Lubey I am a happy positive person. Just don't like being told to be one. Once a rebel and all that Grin

lubeybooby · 31/12/2012 11:42

:o I'm just happy with any excuse for silliness, jollity, booze and cake I think

ThatsNice · 31/12/2012 11:53

Well my nye consists of being still in pj's. kids at their dads so making the most of an ultra rare lie in. Just had phone call from council and been offered an allotment .. and I've accepted .. shit. What have I done?! Pops is keen to help tho, so in now about to get dressed complete with wellies, so we can go measure up. Then I'll be going back to bed to snooze before getting up again to see the new year in at work on the night shift. Joy. At least i will get bank holiday pay after midnight!

SevenSnapespearesSwimming · 31/12/2012 12:05

Up super early, stripped all the beds (XP managed to sleep in two different ones, neither of them mine, need to remove all trace of his effluence from the house) supermarket, bought fab blue elephant bean-filled 'cuddle-chum' for £3 in sainsburys and nice pizza and rice pudding from waitrose for this evening. Absolutely relieved the ex has gone. Hoorah! dS2 & DD come back from their grandparents today as well. :-)

Bit annoyed at Dumbledore, we'd been getting on famously, I was wading through his OKC answers and while we are ridiculously compatible in just about absolutely everything...he won't date someone with genital herpes

I manage to unearth someone with (almost) the same principles and outlook as me, he likes the tattoos. He knows I have kids and it doesn't seem to phase him, he's just out of a relationship, so isn't looking for anything heavy...and then at the last hurdle, my prick of an ex fucking around on me with skank-ho and giving me herpes is the equivalent of a 'Britains got Talent' big fat red button of doom. This isn't fair. We're not in the flirty zone yet, it might be that there isn't a real- life spark etc (he might have an annoying voice) but I feel really invalid. It's like all the other fab things about me don't exist because twat-face fucked around on me.

Sad

SevenSnapespearesSwimming · 31/12/2012 12:07

lubey. Good luck for the date!

I have rum, goats cheese pizza, Pringles and a fun packed evening of 'les miserables' in concert and doctor who monopoly. This time last year...and the year before, I was in the pub with voldemort. I doubt I'll get so much as a text and if I do will probably respond with 'fuck off' :)
