HAPPY NEW YEAR! :o

I posted yesterday, come back to look and now you've all moved on miles you blighters.

48 all is good, good, good with Ironman.
He's in my kitchen making breakfast

Hello to all, I will catch up when he's gone (tomorrow) although I'm lurking in the meantime.

Any single girls in the south west? I've just been on POF & a chap I've met through work is on there. He's lovely, late 30s if there are any interested takers?

When I say met I mean as a colleague, not any other kind of met.

48 yogadog still not eating, been to vet and waiting on blood tests thanks so much for asking

Poor yogadog, hopefully he's just a little under the weather and he'll be back to normal very soon.

when you say SW grinchy....anywhere near Wales??????

Hope it's ok to wander on in here.

Ummm not sure what i'm meant to do but, for those who don't know me, 34, single, 3 kids, part time childminder. Single for nearly 7 years (god almighty), with one very very short and shit relationship last year, and one current fwb which i really need to stop.

Can't afford any paying dating sites, so i'm only on POF atm, which is really just for entertainment purposes, and to see just how old the oldest person will be that messages me.

velvet you are WAY too good for this shit. step away from fb and lets redistribute those eggs through a few more baskets.

yogadog ((hairy-hug))

Dumbledore update. he'll be wearing purple trousers.

I mentioned I just bought DS2 purple trousers. they are splendid. This is the first direct mention of any of DCs

Dumbledore replied: you did well to find purple trousers...I reckon your son will love them, very attention grabbing if he's OK with that. Btw, I found your profile comment about your kids was very helpful and reassuring. thank you for that.

This is getting ridiculous. thread, kindly have a word with my subconcious.

Look Snape, you need some good shit coming your way....just see it as nice Karma for a change...

nutcracker why does the FWB have to stop?

My oldest actual concact was, i think 68. although there's a 70 year old named 'sexual pensioner' who keeps eyeing me up (shudder)

Velvet, some people live their lives out on Facebook and just have to have everyone they've ever met on theirs. Sounds like Spaceman is one of them. In your shoes, I would let the twittering liking girls get on with competing with each other and know that you are far far better than that; there is something very needy and indeed to my mind a bit unseemly about trying to elbow your way into a person's life in full view of all their friends and family like that.

Speaking of fb, well I've had The Talk with Shagman about how I think it's best if we remain friends etc, but he's still on my fb friends list (he basically badgered me into it; I wasn't particularly happy about it). Hopefully he'll just take himself off it; it seems a bit cruel to dump him and then block him on fb as well. Gah. I wish I'd never friended him; was stupid.

Dumbeldore sounds most excellent and a thoroughly nice chap - yay!

Wallison I would give him 3 days to remove himself then just block lol. X

Hugs to yogadog. Hope he's soon on the mend.

Snape I have a good, richard curtis film type feeling about Dumbledore. I shall be v disappointed if he fails to live up to our collective expectations!

Am feeling much better now. Told one of my friends who said if she was me, she'd be assuming any such statuses referred to her and not the twittery girls! I'm not doing that but I'm not stressing either. If he's not bright enough to appreciate my intelligence, wit and general fabulousness, he's not the right man for me

My oldest contact, or at least winker, was a 68 year old woman. (also shudder)

oh. His parents split up when he was wee and his mum didnt have reliable childcare, so mini-Dumbledore got taken on dates. Dumbledore hated it while recognising as an adult that his mums life didnt have to revolve around him and that she had needs....but he wouldn't want to be party to similar, so his reticence at dating a SP is more to do with a concern for the child than an automatic 'gold-digger, 2nd hand goods, baggage' thing.

Duimbledore is lovely. (please be a spark, please be a spark please be a spark! PLESAE dont have herpes issues!)

I've been winked at by a 68 year old too, must be something in the age lol.

bant we could have set them up!

I was winked at by a 67 year old. I wouldn't have minded so much if he'd looked like Paul Newman, as it was he looked like he'd escaped from On The Buses.

Perhaps there's an army of randy pensioners out there.

Wallison, spaceman had a few bad experiences with people with fake profiles (set up by one of his exs) so he said to me that he likes to add people on fb early on to see if they're real. But I know what you mean about it being unseemly. He has liked 2 of my photos, 1 of my statuses and commented on another. These girls like every photo he posts, most of his statuses (and comment) and like other peoples comments. It is a bit much.

Why don't you put shagman onto a hidden list on your fb? You can set it so he doesn't see your statuses, and you can also hide his updates. I imagine when he realises he can't see anything of yours he'll take hint and delete himself thereby saving you the bother!

In my local there are some lovely octogenarians who still 'have what it takes' lol

I have been offered all sorts of cruise trips (including my own cabin!) doubt I'd meet the required dress code tho....

Is he a Welsh Hugh Hefner, Ike ? Roaming around in silk pyjamas and a toupee.

New message from a skinny gardener on GS - now, do we think the liking accurate spelling outweighs the Syd Little physique ?

I quite like it when people who are older are still confident enough to get themselves out there; hope that I'm like that when I'm heading towards 70.

Thanks, Music and Velvet, for the fb advice. I think I'll try the hidden thing first and then delete him if he doesn't get the hint.

It's a shame really as he's a nice bloke but there's just something about him that doesn't sit right with me and never has if I'm honest, plus the whole never taking the initiative pissed me off. It's also a shame I had to get the point of shagging him in order to realise my true feelings about him, but I'm well out of practice with all this.

And Velvet, that makes sense about Spaceman and can see why he'd be wary. The twittering girls sound like pains in the arse.

Hope that yogadog improves, poor wee thing.

And yes nutcracker why bin the fwb?

Well there sre several Octos Arse ....one is is rather Hefneresque...he has a group of females who usually have lunch or a few drinks with him ...

...See I like skinny...but louche skinny ...not Mr Muscle skinny
