48 it's not March yet. Anything can happen between now and then.

ike1 · 03/02/2013 23:12

True jule...you are a lady that talks sense.

VelvetSpoon · 03/02/2013 23:14

Snape am :) for you re the lovely texts. You definitely should pop round to see him!

VelvetSpoon · 03/02/2013 23:16

Still feeling somewhat green around the gills, dont think I will make it to work tomorrow. Thankfully I finished one report on Fri, and the important stuff I have to do this week doesnt start til Weds. Really hoping I am better by then!

ike1 · 03/02/2013 23:18

I just have to say ..that despite some doom mongering that we are all guilty of...in actually fact OD is producing some quite reasonable result, even if it has taken a while in some cases..

48howdidthathappen · 03/02/2013 23:26

I still feel a bit dishonest Juliette I guess you are right though.

KirstyWirsty · 03/02/2013 23:43

48 have you lied to anyone?? No!

velvet glad things are going well with cuthbert

snape woo hoo!

Waves to everyone else !!

Where is yoga

OhWesternWind · 04/02/2013 00:45

48 it will all work out. Who knows what will happen in the next couple of months?

Velvet hope you're feeling better soon, but a couple of days off work will perk you up ready for Friday.

Ike yep we're not doing too badly on here at the moment, are we?

Can't get off to sleep tonight, bit upset by the row with my mum. I hate arguments! Seeing lovely LM on Wednesday, just going to go with the flow and see where things take us over the next couple of months. Am hoping for a nice, calm week next week, that's all I want at the moment.

Been awake on and off since 3am, the only issue I get through the menopause. Pisses me off! Angry

I am going to write to Mr OZ. Going to tell him about my mum and general stuff. Not going to mention about meeting up in March. Keep it low key. It would be so much easier if he met someone else. Which is what I wanted for him, only 41 with no kids.

I really like Mr R&R. He is wacky, passionate and great fun. I feel completely relaxed in his company, like I have known him forever.
Mr R&R hasn't got kids, but at 48 had already accepted that boat had sailed.

Wonder what the the odds are at my age of meeting 2 men that have never married or had kids. Both get me too!

Flipper924 · 04/02/2013 07:11

velvet, hope you're feeling better soon. A day in bed sound in order.

48, where are you finding the decent 40+ single men???

Snapespeare · 04/02/2013 08:10

oww. Hope things get a little brighter today. :)

choochoo. I nipped off two years in age, I could maybe pass for 39 if one is drunk & squints, but I thought it slightly more honest to shave a couple of years...plus the original profile was the stupid pointless honey trap, so it was for evil purposes anyway. I get loads of messages from blokes in their late fifties/early sixties. As a very general rule women tend to look after themselves a bit better as they age. (Some!) men just embrace spreading waistlines an carpet slippers...

Morning all! . 48 -

VoiceofUnreason · 04/02/2013 08:57

Voice wishes to state here that regardless of waistline, he has slipper socks and not proper carpet slippers and that most people guess his age at 32/33 when he is almost 39.

48howdidthathappen · 04/02/2013 09:02

Flipper In the most unlikely places Grin

Walk Mr R&R did plan on having children with his only live in girlfriend 10 years ago. It turned out she couldn't have children Sad I haven't asked anymore than he has offered.

48howdidthathappen · 04/02/2013 09:07

I don't own slippers. Love being barefoot.

VoiceofUnreason · 04/02/2013 09:12

Good news! This weekend I learned that a woman had a crush on me.

OhWesternWind · 04/02/2013 09:15

Ooh Voice do tell . . . Is she nice? And does the past tense indicate that this is now over and done with or are there possibilities here?

48howdidthathappen · 04/02/2013 09:15

Voice Where is she? Any chance of getting it together?

VoiceofUnreason · 04/02/2013 09:18

Bad news! I can't abide her.

Even more bad news! She only had a crush on me during a play we were both doing. Not during rehearsals, just the actual performance week when I had changed my hair from dark blond to black, wore nothing but black and had to behave extremely arrogantly and full of myself.

There are very, very few people I can't tolerate. Fingers on one hand. She's one of them.

Flaming typical or what? I don't know whether to be pleased that after all this time someone found me fanciable, annoyed that it was someone I don't like, or thoroughly pissed off that I am only fanciable when being someone other than me.

You said it Lubey

watchoutforthatsnail · 04/02/2013 09:31

that is as typical as finding someone really hot, who clearly fancies you and you fancy them, but they dont want anything heavy.

fuckers.

Im fucked off today. YWK texted about 11 saying sorry for earlier, but he had just spoken to his parents. I sent a text telling him it was very clear that he does indeed use me when he is feeling vunerable, i will not be meeting nor speaking to him again, but wish him well. Luckily i havent heard anything back.

Goat boy was texting all evening. If im honest, i am fucked off about it. Not about the texting, and not about him persay, but just the typicalness of the situation. So predictable.

Also, i forgot, but remembered a woman at work at lunch, who is new on match ( EVERYONE at work is on a dating site) shes not had any dates yet, we were having a natter. I said i had been seeing somone last summer and then somone for a month or so after than... and do you know what she said?
' your poor child'

One, she doesnt even know how old my child is, or how long i have been single, or even if dd met any of these men. Furious at the judgement. More furius as she is also a single mother to teenagers.

So yeah, fucked off. Hugely.
