bill it's embarrassing, because ALL contraception should be free.

Grin that said, maybe blokes buying condoms is seen as responsible, considerative.... Women buying condoms is seen as a bit slutty.

mercury7 · 05/03/2013 20:11

surely condoms can be got through mail order?
thats how I buy sex toys

ike1 · 05/03/2013 20:14

MirandaWest · 05/03/2013 20:16

I've never run on a treadmill. I think I might fall off Blush

lubeybooby · 05/03/2013 20:21

Actually there are some great deals on condoms from online sex shop type places. Like lovehoney.

I must remember to use them actually instead of supermarkets. I'll save a fortune.

I think buying them as part of your general shopping is less obvious and therefore less embarrassing than if they are a specific purchase (if that makes sense)

Mind you C and I are so useless and easily embarrassed that neither of us are able to say the word condom aloud. We refer to them, but never by name Grin

Given our obvious compatibility it's all the more irritating that he STILL hasnt text me!

I expect that's because living only a mile away he was near enough to hear me screaming like a fishwife at the DC earlier over the fridge incident....

lubeybooby · 05/03/2013 20:21

I've just realised how the sounds.

Yay for date number 7 Snape :) he definitely likes you Grin

I need a wet fish as on Monday mr nice and his DS are going to America for two weeks and I will Miss Him. This feels a bit teenager ish. He'll be 8 hours behind as well. Not sure when we'll both be awake. Think there will be an amount of emails. Is v daft to know I will be a little bit :( but :) that he is going and will have a good time with his DS :)

MirandaWest · 05/03/2013 20:24

What was the fridge incident

mercury7 · 05/03/2013 20:24

obviously we all should be matter of fact about buying condoms but I think in women it seems 'modern' and 'sensible'

where as when I think of men buying condoms I think louche and opportunistic
or maybe I just have issues Confused

lubeybooby · 05/03/2013 20:25

I spent a lot of time up til about 5am when BC was in Canada but that was only 5 hours behind... I feel for you Miranda!

OP posts:
MirandaWest · 05/03/2013 20:30

I can stay awake until 1am semi easily and until 2 at a push. That would be 5pm so we could maybe chat then (they're going round California from LA to San Francisco. Am jealous). He will probably also stay up late ish too.

Have been asked what I'd like as a present....

grinchie · 05/03/2013 20:35

Hi everyone Smile
I haven't been around for a week or two so i haven't caught up.
All still the same with me, still on the sofa with Ironman still in Afghanistan.

I wondered, please can I ask you all a favour?

JulietteMontague · 05/03/2013 20:36

Miranda I do know a man who fell off. He was slight of build but had bought a new pair of too tight shorts and was keen to show off. He got diverted by an attractive man, flew off backwards to the floor shorts ripped right up the back seam. The humiliation was complete when he was grabbed under his arms and lifted into the air by a Muscle Mary who just placed him back on the machine and walked off.

Lubey that sounded about right Envy Grin

VelvetSpoon · 05/03/2013 20:39

Miranda -fridge incident - one of the DS left fridge open all day. Contents ruined. I was so annoyed I started an AIBU about it so I didn't rant here.

Have calmed down a bit now. Although neither of the little sods will admit who did it, they both say it wasn't them.

Bant · 05/03/2013 20:49

The problem with throwing the condoms in with a weekly shop is wondering what might be going through the mind of the people in the queue behind you about the potential combinations of items..

loo roll, bunch of bananas, roast chicken, jar of coffee, coleslaw, condoms, rubber gloves, sink plunger..

Grinchie - what kind of favour?

Snapespeare · 05/03/2013 20:50

grinchie how can we help? :)

JulietteMontague · 05/03/2013 20:55

Bant this is the beauty of living in Eastern Europe. Nothing in that list would get you a second look.

Grinchie does this involved Skyping soldiers and asking to see their particulars?

MirandaWest · 05/03/2013 20:58

Will venture into AIBU and look (I have it hidden from Active Cinversations to keep blood pressure low Grin)

grinchie · 05/03/2013 21:22

snape and juliette thank you!
I can't start a thread on this because it would be too easy to out me in RL, I'm trying to divorce my STBXH on my own because I can't afford a solicitor.

I know everyone says this but STBXH is a twunt of the highest order.
We have had a brief email exchange during which he seems fairly reasonable on the surface but is, in fact being a shit.

It's all making me feel rubbish, my Mum tries to support but she's a softie!

Ironman is great, but he's my man! There is only so much I can for his opinion!

My friends are either i) STBXH's friends too or know too much (because we all went to school together!) or ii) are too chilled out or woo to offer good advice.
If this makes me sound like a bad friend, I love them all, I'm very nice really and none of them would be offended by this description!

What I actually need is some feisty women of the 'you CAN do this' 'stay strong' 'ignore this, do that' 'if you do that you're being unreasonable variety'.

Any takers?

juliette I love Skype Blush

OhWesternWind · 05/03/2013 21:37

I'll help, will channel my inner feistiness for you Grinchie

KirstyWirsty · 05/03/2013 21:38
