Get back into college for your research...you will see all your mates Smile

Of course there is always rubber man Grin

ike1 · 16/01/2013 10:25

Yes 48 that is what I should do one day a week. Oh no not rubber man. I think I found that peculiarly depressing actually. He seemed very nice just a bit lost y'know admitted that the death of his girlfriend a long time ago has stopped him from forming relationships...

ike1 · 16/01/2013 10:26

....and with great respect to all those who enjoy the swinging lifestyle that just is not for me...

48howdidthathappen · 16/01/2013 10:31

Nor me Ike I am a one man woman. Think of the amount of cock size questions Grin

Aww. I feel quite sad for rubber man too.

ike1 · 16/01/2013 10:34

I know....I felt quite disturbed..lol! I think I might have to lay off OD for a bit..I think boredom might be the driving factor at the moment.

ike1 · 16/01/2013 10:36

...boredom and trying to avoid my reasearch lol

OhWesternWind · 16/01/2013 13:05

What are you researching Ike? I am trying to get motivated to start off an exercise programme - scary stuff for me! Only one form of exercise I like Wink

ike1 · 16/01/2013 13:25

Research into eating disorders and adolescents OWW. Yeah I am trying to get motivated with exercise as well the the may go hand in hand. Sigh

ike1 · 16/01/2013 13:26

KirstyWirsty · 16/01/2013 13:56

Hi Ike what a great subject! One of my friends has a 16 year old anorexic daughter .. she is having a terrible time of it

ike1 · 16/01/2013 14:49

Hi Kirsty, yes it is a pernicious illnness, Anorexia, and my limited understanding (at mo) is that it is very hard to treat. Without identifying myself too much, I will be looking at treatments from a certain health professional's angle. I am sure once I get into it Ill quite enjoy the research. My empathy is extended to your friend, very hard on the whole family too.

MsArsebiscuit · 16/01/2013 15:03

Fayster, yes I am, not a nurse though - I decided that I wanted nothing to with arses so nursing wasn't for me, hollow laughter as 25 years down the line I have had many, many encounters of the arse kind.
I do see a lot of elderly in- and out-patients and the variation in their standards of care, and sometimes the lack of basic kindness really distresses and angers me.

48, sounds like you and your family have done a magnificent job.

Ike, don't be fed up, January's shite, things will improve.

ike1 · 16/01/2013 15:05

I hope so...just noticed the ex has brought round some bits for the kids in a fuckin La Senza bag......AAAAARGHHHHH

ike1 · 16/01/2013 15:08

Yes, yes I know you are buying the TART frillys that you never bought me...

MsArsebiscuit · 16/01/2013 15:39

Ike, he is buying her crappy, cheapo, polyester frillies, there may well be a lovely man waiting for you who will take you shopping for scanties at La Perla for your mini-break to Venice.

Snapespeare · 16/01/2013 15:50

popping in to no news here.

ike1 · 16/01/2013 15:59

Is La Senza cheapo? Oh good! (Peacocks girl here) Hia Snape!

MsArsebiscuit · 16/01/2013 16:55

Yep, La Senza is cheap and nasty (this is only my opinion - I like What Katie Did etc ) .

Hello Snape

This afternoon I have had a message on GS from a man who does some kind of dodgy work in a desert somewhere who wishes to emphasise that he is 'sexually adventurous' which I think is rather forward as an opening conversational gambit.

ike1 · 16/01/2013 17:15

How Marvelous Arse. I awoke to an e-mail off a self described 'average looking' 22 year old couple looking for a 'threesum'. Well, how could I refuse??? On second thoughts it may be the reason for my ill temper today....

lubeybooby · 16/01/2013 17:21

Still no 'meeting' arranged with Mr iPhone. I would be out of order to text him and say that i expect business to be conducted in a timely manner wouldn't I? Wink

ike and MsArse you must be overjoyed with those messages.

I want to chat to TT but tonights the night he's on a course thing and not back til 9pm. Booo hiss. I'm bored.

And feeling reeaaaallllllly OLD because my hip aches.

watchoutforthatsnail · 16/01/2013 17:23

la senza is sort of dorothy perkins type of level.
I wouldnt say cheap and nasty, its not primark! but its not quality. depends of course on your budget. Mine being tiny, la senza is blowing the budget!

Ike - i think if you are alone parent its very easy to become a bit isolated. And if you are a people person, its really hard.

48, glad you mum is doing ok.

texts with chilli boy all last night, am still excited, but feel awfully nervous about sunday and bloody wish i was 2 stone lighter. having a bit of crisis of confidence.....

48howdidthathappen · 16/01/2013 17:24

Stop it you two. You will have me hankering after my OD days Hmm

ike1 · 16/01/2013 17:24

Yes overjoyed (deadpan voice). Your hips are aching because you have been having a good time suspect Lubes!

lubeybooby · 16/01/2013 17:27

No it's only one hip ike. I'd be happy if it were both as that would indicate what you were thinking :o

ike1 · 16/01/2013 17:27

Its always a bit nerve wracking tho watch ....dress to your advantage...what you know makes you feel confident.
