Oh Flipper it's so unfair. I'm so sorry. I do hope it isn't the worst

Flipper so sorry. Sending (((hugs))) and another hand to hold.

Flipper924 · 07/02/2013 10:02

Just had a chat with my best and oldest friend, and realised that there are positives. I'm still fertile, and I really do know my own body.

I'm back to where I was a month ago, and I was in a good place then. I was about to end a brief relationship with a guy it wasn't working with, because I was fabulous and I (and he) deserved more than second best. In the past, I would have stuck with it, thinking that if he likes me, I should be grateful.

MsCellophane · 07/02/2013 10:03

So sorry Flipper, look after yourself

AndLibbyMakesThree · 07/02/2013 10:15

Thinking of you Flipper and sending hugs.

re David beckham, he's much too slight for my taste, infact I think I look more muscular than he does:o
Tattoo styles are very much down to personal taste, but I've seen far far better sleeves than his.

Everything happens for a reason is a comforting thought, but probably just an 'illusion' which arises when you look back on a series of events.
In other words 'Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards'

Its my birthday today...and wow! Its turning out to be one of the best so far! Wok up to the kids singing Happy Birthday down the phone. Was leaving the house for my hair appt to discover that a friend/neighbour had tried balloons to my door and left cake and flowers for me...came back fro hair app (which I really like) to disover champage but no card!!! Now off for lunch with TR...wow, just wow!

watchoutforthatsnail · 07/02/2013 11:35

HPpy biryhdsy ike.

Flipper. Im so sorry. Do you have someone who can stay with you the next few days?

Ive just left the goats. He was back after a 14 hr shift and was snoring. He had given
Me a key last time i saw him. He had left a trail of notes for me.... i woke him up in the nicest possible way and then had amazing sex. Very very good. I was like ' fuck' and he said that was woefully inadequate. We chatted for a bit. He fell asleep so did i.
Woke up and looked over and my god he looked beautiful. So i had to leave. Kissedhis forehead, told him i was going. He said stay. I said sleep and kissed him again. Then left

My god.

watchoutforthatsnail · 07/02/2013 11:37

As in ' fuck' was worfully inedaquate to sumarise. Not the sex was woefilly inadequste.

ike1 · 07/02/2013 11:38

Oh erm.....do you think it is going to be easy to keep this 'light'????? erk....nice though!

ike1 · 07/02/2013 11:42

That would do my head in if I thought I was going to have to keep my emotions under wraps... it would be pure and utter torture...but thats me...please dont let me spoil it 4 u.

KinNora · 07/02/2013 11:46

I'm so sorry, Flipper, I hope you're taking things easy and looking after yourself.

And happy birthday Ike, I'm glad you're having a lovely day.

Flipper924 · 07/02/2013 11:46

Happy Birthday, Ike! Sounds like you're having a fab day already!

Wow, Watch, that sounds so completely different from man vs food - thank goodness! Well done you for trusting your instincts on him.

Scrazy · 07/02/2013 11:58

Flipper, so sorry to hear the news, are you feeling OK?

Ike, happy birthday.

David Beckham is lovely in the flesh. He put his arm around me once. I haven't seen his new video but look forward to that. I'm only 5ft 2 but had heels on and he towers over me in the photo and isn't scrawny one bit.

Got a message last night on POF from someone who recognises me from 30 years ago. He lived in my town and went out to the same places etc. I was very much coupled up in those days so we didn't meet and I don't know him at all. Now in the last couple of years this sort of thing has happened a few times. Ex was an ex date from 20 years ago but we did last 3 years this time round but it didn't work 20 yrs ago and ultimately this time as well.

Then two guys have been in touch via facebook, one I dated moons ago and the other one was just a snog as teenagers. Neither of them went anywhere either so I think all this hooking up from the past is jinxed. Anyone else had similar experiences?

ike1 · 07/02/2013 12:03

Hey Scrazy its good cos you must still look as young as you did in ur 20's. x

Secretservice · 07/02/2013 12:09

Popping into say so sorry flipper hope you're OK and hang on to those positives

Happy birthday Ike

And Envy to Watch!

Snapespeare · 07/02/2013 12:18

Happy birthday ike

watch Envy

Envy Envy Envy

You're starting to like him. Aren't you?! Grin

lulubellaboozle · 07/02/2013 12:35

Hey all, haven't been posting but have been reading ..... my mum who helps me out a lot with my DC's had a serious fall whilst walking my dog for me and ended up in hospital having her shoulder reconstructed, after breaking her upper arm and shattering her shoulder. She is in her mid 70's and at home recovering now, but out of action for at least 3 months. It's been a manic week. Had some ups and downs with Mr ExArmy (my demons again) but we have had a heart to heart and we are in the same place now and it feels even better for that!

Flipper thinking of you and hope you are ok
Snape go you!! all sounds good and agree with all previous advice re STI conversations
Ike happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Ike happy birthday to you!
Watch wow! can't think of anything else just "wow"
48 glad to hear Mr R&R is still going strong, could he be a keeper?

watchoutforthatsnail · 07/02/2013 12:52

i dont so much as ' like' Honestly, i woke up, and he was naked, lightly snoring, tusseled hair cascading over his shoulders... manly, muscled, tattoed shoulders... broad shoulders, small waist, pertest bum i ever did see. sunlight streaming in through his blinds and i was just like ' fuck - hes beautiful' so i had to leave. I couldnt stay and lie there watchin him sleep thinking that.
The sex, my god, i must have cum 5 times. I was very good, very very very good. And he got me a drink after, because he couldnt have me as a guest wandering about his house, ignoring the fact that he gave me a key already. Plus it was hot as hell. We didnt even speak till after we had fucked. I just looked him straight in the eye and said ' morning'.
damn. damn and damn.

There IS something there. for me at least. he cant not feel it, he just cant. saying that, hes given me a key ( i only met him last week) and, when i got there he was sleeping with sometihng in his bed that i had posted to him....

There are no plans past today, i have no idea whats going on. or what, if anything, or if its just ' nothing heavy' but im just going to go with it. I cant not.

watchoutforthatsnail · 07/02/2013 12:54

so many typos.
Not so miuch as 'like'

IT was bery good, not i. i was, but thats not what i meant :)

watchoutforthatsnail · 07/02/2013 13:03

i cant actually even type.

AND i smell like him.

Fuck me, that was just amazing. Just amazing.

watchoutforthatsnail · 07/02/2013 13:14

so, after all that.

ike, happy birthday, typed properly!! have a lovely day

lulu - your poor mum, hope she makes a speedy recovery

flipper, im so sorry, it must be awful. I dont quite know the right thing to say, as ive not been through it myself, but, just, be gentle with yourself.

scrazy - ive seen the beckham vid. hot man, impossible to fancy him at all because its all ruined when he opens his mouth.

Flipper924 · 07/02/2013 13:14

I'm sorry, Watch, I might not be reading this right, but I think you enjoyed this morning? Go on, admit it, just a little bit? Grin

Ooh, Wine, forgot to ask, how's your dog's leg?
