Cheese has arrived! Got a nice thank you text.

VoiceofUnreason · 15/02/2013 13:17

There you are, see.

48howdidthathappen · 15/02/2013 13:22

Thats great! OWW

Nomorepain · 15/02/2013 13:32

Brill news oww. I like sound of LM. I think he is a goodun. Lacking but on text front but think he is good

Yep I've got a kind of date tonight with Mr Irish. Bit excited. Tried dress on earlier, sorted shoes, accessories etc. Think I will look okay! I am going out with my friends and he is out with his. He asked if he could steal me away for a drink. Chats were hilarious last night. Hope is is okay in reality and that I'm not a big disappointment!!!

Having huge battle over new washing machine that is not working - was only delivered last week!! Bloody Bosch!!!!!!!

Flipper924 · 15/02/2013 13:40

That's not good, Nomore. I was told by the man who installed my Miele that they and Bosch are by far the most reliable.

FlorentinePogen · 15/02/2013 13:44

Here comes the cheese ! Shock

OhWesternWind · 15/02/2013 13:48

Now I've got past Cheesegate I'm honestly going to have a nice, relaxed weekend and not get stressed. I think he's a good 'un too, most of the time . . .

It was odd realising yesterday that some of my expectations of relationships still come from my ex, down to the style of message acceptable in a Valentine's card . . . Still, I suppose I had seventeen years of that type of card so it's understandable.

And definitely the expectation that it will all go tits up.

Nomore hope you have a lovely time tonight. If you're both with your mutual friends, does it take some of the pressure off or will it be worse with your mates having a good nosy at him?

Snapespeare · 15/02/2013 14:00

i just nipped out at lunchtime and purchased prophylactics. Blush

Blush Blush Blush Blush Blush Blush Blush Blush Blush Blush

christ on a bike. DCs dad and I used to use the pill, subsequent LTR we nipped to the local clinic and just grabbed a bag from the handy-dispenser in the foyer or the goldfish bowls on teh bar in the the local LGBT pub. Any other minor/occasional dalliances in the last three years I've relied on the other person to supply.

I will now die of shame lust purchasing something that should be freely available

Scrazy · 15/02/2013 14:02

Nomore, fingers crossed he is gawgus. Does he live in Ireland and crossing overseas?

Snape, good luck I'm hope it goes well tonight.

Ike, I get all the fugly's on POF message me if I unhide.

Miranda, have a great weekend.

Rose, so sorry, it must be so upsetting to find a partner checking online. I know how I feel if I've met someone nice and thinking about them still checking.

Stella, I don't see the problem if he isn't your teacher.

Looks like it's a quiet weekend for me, have a party next weekend, fancy dress so need a costume.

SweetSeraphim · 15/02/2013 14:02

OMG Snape, is it tonight?? :o

I shall be waiting with bated breath....

Nomorepain · 15/02/2013 14:03

I tend to buy Bosch everything but recently my iron (expensive steam generator one) and new washing machine have been rubbish. Very disappointing. They won't send an engineer out till Tuesday but I have said it isn't good enough and I want a new machine. Even if they send engineer he prob won't have parts. Just stated my case very strongly. Bosch cust services were awful. Lets see what happens next....

lubeybooby · 15/02/2013 14:05

I was about to recommend mates skyn or mates naturals as super easy to get on and reliable... then I remembered my current 'condition' Blush and thought perhaps such a review would be viewed as less than helpful.

Nomore That sounds a fab date!

OWW My plan too. I haven't had a man free weekend since I met Mr R&R. He is going to spend time with his parents. He is worried that his dad may have had a mini stroke last saturday. His dad seems fine, but is getting checked over on Monday.

I am actually going horse riding for the first time in weeks Smile

Nomorepain · 15/02/2013 14:07

I will be really scared if Mr Irish is gorg! I'm not and will feel I'm punching well above my weight! Not great for the old confidence. Just want normal looking but with bit of a twinkle. He lives over here and Irish descent.

Good luck for tonight Snape!!!!! Sooooo very exciting!!!

Nomorepain · 15/02/2013 14:08

Not sure about being with friends taking the pressure off!! My friend just called and she is feeling nervous in my behalf!! Eeeeekkk!!

Snapespeare · 15/02/2013 14:08

Grin at lubey

they are good old fashioned durex. pack of three.

just need to get past the old herpes chat. Hmm

i have rubber johnnies in my handbag. french letters.

I feel utterly giggly absurd!

Flipper924 · 15/02/2013 14:09

Lubey, that made me splutter on my coffee.

Mr Walking had also not bought condoms since he was a teenager. I've a feeling he might be more careful in the future.

JulietteMontague · 15/02/2013 14:15

I had flipped this thread so first read about condominium brands then went straight to Bosch. I was worried there for a moment.

western yay for cheese, even if LM isn't very wordy if he says little and shows it that is worth so much more.

nomore remember you are the prize Grin

lubeybooby · 15/02/2013 14:15

I get them delivered with my tesco order. And they are always sitting proudly on top of the rest of the shopping in the crate, not in a bag bastards

Hello all Grin
Needless to say no dates/condoms for me but plenty of long distance communication.

Wishing you all well on your dates this weekend Smile

Nomorepain · 15/02/2013 14:26

Yay I won! New machine delivered tomorrow!!!!!! Yay yay yay!!

VoiceofUnreason · 15/02/2013 14:32

Nomore - condom machine? Grin

Nomorepain · 15/02/2013 14:34

voice I am shocked!! No a washing machine. Dull I know but had to share it with someone and my children didn't seem bothered in the slightest!!!

VoiceofUnreason · 15/02/2013 14:36

Never know, might come in handy. Unless Mr Irish is a devout Catholic...

Snapespeare · 15/02/2013 14:38

I am very happy for your washing machine nomore

:)

rubber johnnies! in my HANDBAG!!!
