Married Man tho aren't you flo....gotta keep the ol romance goin...is that what you have planned for VDay for Mrs P???

Ike, I am indeed married. Whisper it, today is our 17th anniversary. Smile

Don't do celebrations as such, I am cooking dinner, DD is in background practising the violin and if DW and I have the energy later on, we may well indulge in a bit of romance and sexology.

I am going to leave it until 9-ish and then maybe dash by nameless and do the same.

ike1 · 09/02/2013 18:45

ike1 · 09/02/2013 18:49

Snapespeare · 09/02/2013 18:54

Textually dashing. I do not physically dash.

I pre empted myself....

He replied within a minute. Seeing him on Monday might.

BillMasen · 09/02/2013 18:55

Woo snape. (Blushes). If only I were taller....

ike1 · 09/02/2013 19:01

Fab Snape....Voldie who???x

Snapespeare · 09/02/2013 19:01

Oh bill it was never meant to be.... I have had my head turned by a sleepy superstar DJ 12 years younger than me. I am justifying this by my youngest bunny being 13 & me knocking 2 years off my age & him being oh! Breathtaking

48howdidthathappen · 09/02/2013 19:02

Gonna slap some slap on in a mo and hope the mascara stops me blubbing Hmm

Snapespeare · 09/02/2013 19:03

I feel the need to hand around party-poppers

[party-pop]

48howdidthathappen · 09/02/2013 19:05

I may have a little weed somewhere.

Snapespeare · 09/02/2013 19:08

48 :)

I had a big thing about never going on ADs...and when I did (DD was 500 miles away from me, having a terrible time, it really hurt) it gave my a bit of breathing space to tackle the important bits. I was a bit fuzzy at first (lost DS2 in a car park!) but I gained clarity to deal with stuff that my head was otherwise too crowded to deal with. That's ok. Things work out. :)

I am shocked!!!!!!

Oh man. Exes are exes for a reason aren't they!! Had my fill of my stupid ex today. He really is a prize twunt!! He has my babies for 12
Hours every fortnight split across 2 days. He has managed to pick them up late and drop them off late which meant both of them fell asleep in the car and now won't go to sleep!!! Not give my baby her milk when it was due (out by 4 hours!!!) and then when I said are you going to pick them up on time tomorrow he said he is t feeling well so probably won't bother tomorrow. Joke. I have been really ill on 2 occasions since he left. My sil asked him to help to look after the kids and he ignored her. Now in expected to have sympathy for him. I had a feeling he wasn't going to have them tomorrow. Oh and I found out that he has just got back from NYC with the ow. Not because he brought presents back for the kids - because he had got a present in back of his car for his mum in a JFK airport bag. Arghhhhhhhhh!

Mr Irish just text me. He said where instead of we're and it has made me go off him big time!! Is that ridiculously shallow??

Nomorepain · 09/02/2013 19:15

bill you are doing the right thing ignoring moon girl. I was very disappointed by your texting!! Geek girl sounds lovely and moon girl would be a waste of time. Don't be a grass is greener type of guy because they are the pits!!!

48howdidthathappen · 09/02/2013 19:17

Found it! Purely for medicinal purposes of course Grin

lulubellaboozle · 09/02/2013 19:24

nomore in Mr Irish's defence, predictive text can change we're to where or the other way round .... At the end of the day no big deal, in RL if indeed he doesn't know the difference you wouldn't know till it was too late!! I'm thinking, give him a chance!

VelvetSpoon · 09/02/2013 19:25

Snape hurray for your date! :)

Nomore, not shallow. Errors like that irritate me hugely. As does people not knwing how to use a knife and fork properly (cuthbert passed that test!)

Cuthbert suggested exchanging email addresses last night (cos he almost lost his phone in the week and realised if he did he'd lose my number etc)...anyway forgot about it in the rush of him leaving this morning, so next time I text him I was going to give him mine. I was also going to suggest he could add me to fb (I know he hardly uses it so if he doesn't add me immediately no big deal BUT does it look a bit odd for me to ask?

48howdidthathappen · 09/02/2013 19:42

It is amazing how much you can hide behind a bit of make up.

Accepts 'party popper'

KinNora · 09/02/2013 19:52

Nomore, nope not shallow, I'm terribly pedantic about spelling etc in men - Mr Software, very well educated, very intelligent, insisted on using 'would of ' repeatedly. It turns me right off.

JulietteMontague · 09/02/2013 20:04

Velvet up to you but I wouldn't ask. What for? he hardly uses it and you then have the whole fb awkwardness thing. There is also bound to be something there like a pic you will feel odd about (which is normal) and you will then have more questions and torture yourself. So lots of angst for nothing.

JulietteMontague · 09/02/2013 20:05

To answer your question, it doesn't make you look odd to ask Smile

Well, hello, laydeez (and gents)

I've been a bit quiet the last few days, had a bit of bad news off LM health wise so am trying to get to grips with that, really, and haven't felt like coming on here a lot. But I've had a couple of drinks tonight, no party poppers though, and thought I would be vaguely sociable and try and catch up a bit.

48 You've had a shitty old time of it recently and there's no shame in getting help whether from the GP or from Mr R&R who, by the way, is one of life's good guys.

Velvet Brilliant news. I'm so glad it went well. I don't think you would look odd adding him on FB but like Juliette says, there's always the odd photo or comment or like or whatever that can set the nerves jangling. Tell him to write your number in his address book.

Bill good man. MoonGirl sounds like one to avoid.

Watch I'm not even going to say it as everyone else has already Smile

Bant good to see you back on here and hope it's all going well. So, is it straight back onto Match now you're home?

Thread is getting very fishy recently. Need some calm, cool and collected vibes around here . . . but it's lovely to read about people having good luck and good times. We all deserve a run of good luck, I think.

watchoutforthatsnail · 09/02/2013 22:27

My god. Hes gone fucking nuts.
Ive downloaded a text blocker.... blocked him. Called sky and blocked him . Blocked email and whats app.

He bombarded me on okc and pof at the same time.... has knocked years off his age. Got listed he is looking for younger women.... asked if i was going to lose weight . And then kept going on about how i completed him and how much he needed me. I told him to stop and he kept it up.then he started picking apart my okc answers.... comparing them to stuff i said years ago Then he said he was going for a nap.... yet i could see was logged into the dating sites.

Loopy.

No way for him to contact me now. Bar work and i might have a word with security.

MsCellophane · 09/02/2013 22:27

I have just drunk most of a bottle of plonk and am trying to sort getting the man I rescued at xmas to pop in - he also has drunk too much plonk and can't get a cab

Home alone and fancy a chat, a kiss and maybe some filth - if he can get a cab!
