Here we are!

(Name changed but been here a few weeks)

Wishing you all a happy 2013, with masses of Coffee & a few intelligent dates.

Desperately wishing I had stayed in with you last night. Self pity at alone status at party led to far too much grain & grape mix. Now feeling violently sick with friend arriving in an hour for a 12 mile walk over the moors. I have only managed 2 hours sleep. How stupid can one women get!!!

Oh dear Whoopsie it's easily done ... Sleep, diet coke and hula hoops work wonders. Has your friend arrived?

Morning all.

NoMore - maybe that's not the best definition of reboundness - I don't know. I think I'll compare anyone I meet to several of my exes - my first LT girlfriend, another one I had an on/off thing with for years, and my STBXW. I want to find someone with all of their good points and others too, without their bad points - does that mean I'm on the rebound from any of them?

I don't hate my STBXW, she just made me miserable for several years because the relationship wasn't right for either of us, and we ended up in a hostile and miserable sulky thing for the last couple of years, which was just unpleasant. Knowing what I learned from that, and counseling, I want to find someone who is a better fit for me.

'Rebound' is just trying to find someone, anyone, who isn't your ex. I think I'm past that. I think it's whether you're happy in yourself or not and have put things to rest. Then you're not rebounding

Morning & Happy 2013 to everyone (even you Bant, even though you left me off your list...harumph )

Just wanted to say a quick "Woo Hoo!!!!" to Western. What a wonderful way to start the year - am soooooo happy for you.

Good morning, and happy new year to you all!

I hope 2013 brings every one of us exactly what we need. It certainly seems to be starting that way - Yoga and Bant have new jobs, Velvet has broken her jinx, 48 is getting some lovin' later and OWW has a massive smile on her face. Tis all good so far.

Apart from Whoopsie's hangover (lots of fluids and paracetamol, with a multivitamin if you can manage it), hope it lifts soon.

A Happy New Year to everyone! (And another one you forgot, Banta, though as I'm hardly a prolific poster I'll forgive you in my new year's spirit of peace and forgiveness).

Some brilliant news reading through yesterday evening's posts - so happy for you OWW and Velvet. Hope your mum's doing ok, 48, and great news that Mr R&R is back today.

I thought NYE would be a total washout - on my own and on antibiotics, trying to resist the pear cider. But then Mr C came round and it was all quite lovely.

This morning, I shall be making myself a full english, albeit without the black pudding. Sausage, egg, beans, toast, tomatoes, mushroom and a septuple latte

Morning team! Hope you're not feeling too fragile (except woopsie- I think a 12 mile walk will be a good thing, clear out the hangover cobwebs)

Get this, was OKC-ing Dumbledore last night, just before the bells and we were talkin about high-rises in Glasgow, because that's how I get men interested in me... I mentioned I'd be going to bed and thinking of Glasgow high-rises, which is a bit rubbish.

He replied: gorgeous views, I could send you a knob photo, but that's really not me.

He doesn't send (un)solicited photos of his genitalia. He doesn't actually exist, does he? My subconscious has made him up. Years of rubbish Internet dating has finally tipped me over the edge and my increasingly fragile grip on reality has invented Dumbledore.

Very fragile here. Went to next doors party, it was great but they were doing shots, I ended up out of it by 10pm and being put to bed (!) by her sister who I will need to thank ater today. I have recollection I snogged a bloke too. I suspect I got away lightly by being taken out of the situation lol.

Good morning, such lovely news from OWW and Velvet, what a fantastic start to 2013, I'm so pleased for you, you both deserve some happiness.

Yoga, watched Magic Mike last night after your comments the other day, nice arses but I got bored towards the end - I don't know what's wrong with me, I had arse ennui.

48, have a wonderful time with Mr R&R today/tonight ( I slightly fear for his safety but I'm sure he'll bear up ).

Bill, don't over think things, just enjoy your time with Spacegirl.

I'm somewhat disappointed not to have heard from any of my assorted ex- beaus ( that might be 'beaux' , in fact it probably is ) however I have had an epiphany, moping and looking backwards does me no good whatsoever, fuck the lot of 'em, chin up and tits oot for 2013.

< blows a big kiss to everyone on the thread, love you all ( in a non-sexy times way ) >

Oh Snape you need to meet him whilst the New Year woo is still doing its thang.

Music so who was the bloke? Any potential for re-snogging?

Today I am mainly drinking black coffee.

Snape, perhaps Fate has procured him specially to provide for your specific requirements.

Wait, I missed OWW!

:) really happy for you! Yay! :)

bill yes, agree with what has been said. I think it's great that you are wary of the rebound...that shows self-awareness. How long have you been single, remind me?

It is highly unlikely, from my POV that you would meet 'the one' so soon. Unlikely and improbable, but not absolutely impossible! I would advise continuing to proceed with caution, look out for (any, eventual) sex-hormones (cant remember if you've DTD yet) and be honest with her.

My rebound indicator does tend to compare currents to significant exes. Given recent events Jeremy Kyle would compare favourably to the kids dad (jezza! How you doin'?) but if you enjoy her company because it's her and not ex, that's a good sign. :)

Happy New Year everyone!! Xx

Western No, I really don't think I want to be snogging him again, it was a big mistake but luckily he doesn't actually live in the village, he was a work colleague of someone. Mortified, don't mind a good snog but not a full on party type snog like I did at 15 lol.

Morning all and Happy New Year to you all again :o

Bant can I join you? Especially for the septuple latte!

Feeling very fragile here, very very very fragile. No headache, just delicate.

Mr iPhone just finally replied to my text.... thinks he is possibly free Saturday, will let me know.

Please please please can we have "arse ennui" in the next thread title?????

Dog walked and bathed. So much mud. Stunningly beautiful day here!

Gonna clean the house. Visit my mum.

Then prepare to Rock and Roll

I thought 'on the rebound' was to do with getting involved with someone whilst still 'blinded' by the acute pain of a too recent break up, there being some belief that it is better to allow a certain period of time for healing and moving on.

Whatever the case alot of this stuff is psycho-babble/folklore/theories which cant really be proved based on beliefs about human nature which cant be proved.

In other words we collectively make stuff up as we go along!

An Aulde acquaintance, who has probably been forgot - definitely by Banta! Happy new year to you all. Reading all you good news has helped cut through the hangover haze

My main resolution is to be a better threader, not just let everyone else do the hard work, while I just read!

I'm still seeing RC car man, once/twice a week for very hot Coffee, but little else! First met abouth five weeks ago, and we've only actually been out twice! But it suits me for now - if only, like others on here it proves all is still in working order!

I had a NYE snog too. Used to be on the dating threads ages ago but gave up. It was such a nice snog I think I might rejoin y'all if you don't mind ...

De-lurking to wish you all a happy 2013

Some lovely developments here to start the new year!

I spent the evening at my lovely boyfriend's house with all our DC, playing on the Wii and into town to see the fireworks at 12. 6 months ago, if anyone had suggested that I would spend NYE with someone, I wouldn't have believed them! I've been dating five years to get to this point. I think he's worth the wait!

Also want to thank the posters who helped me earlier in the year, although some are no longer on the thread x

oh dear... my head hurts... i have orrible memories of sexy dancing with a post... somone shoot me...

..oh and nicking a fag out of someone's mouth...pinching a guy's arse.....

,,please no more recall..
