Western yay for communication Grin

WFF I used to be selective who I told about OD, I can't be bothered to mention much now as I get tired of being told I'm either doing it wrong or having them question why I'd want a relationship at all Hmm. I'm now going unleash the hounds on POF too.

Voice I have drifted apart from quite a few friends in the last few years, mostly because of being unreliable or letting me down when they should have been there. It's sad but when I look back some of those friendships were formed many years ago when I was prepared to put up with a lot more crap and weren't entirely healthy for me now.

lubeybooby · 07/03/2013 10:10

I love lulu's response too!

OWW, ok, good stuff then. I have everything crossed for you. Don't hesitate to listen to your instinct though if it starts nagging at you

*Lulu8 Grin I will cut and paste that comment, and then block immediately!

Lubey, I think I may need to relocate, either Scotland or according to Match, Germany!

Let the fun commence then Jules....hope you have your bugle to hand!

Snapespeare · 07/03/2013 10:31

nameless is now my friend on facebook. This means i have seen his family and can run endless, pointless astrological matches, as I have his DOB. muhahahaha.

OWW I am pleased for you. :)

no time to talk - off or a work team build thingy. will catch up with you all later.

MirandaWest · 07/03/2013 10:34

Morning :)

Glad you had a good talk with LM OWW (too many capital letters there)

Am in a grump. Don't think the grey weather helps (where is spring?) mr nice had annoying day at work yesterday (3rd day if it) so despite me not really liking FaceTime I saud we could later on. I let him moan at me which left me feeling a bit deflated. If he'd been here I could have pointed out he was going on a tad but harder when you are just looking at slightly blurry picture. Then couldn't sleep until gone 2 (we were talking until nearly 1). Cba to reply to texts this morning Blush. And one is about his DSs exam results from ones he did in January so I should really.

Weekend is too complicated - feel I will be driving children around a lot so I can see Mr Nice (but as he goes away on Monday I need to).

Plus XH finally doing ground work for divorce - am sure ill end up worse for costs etc and cba with it right now. Told myself I wouldn't instigate anything as didn't want to make it easy for him (as was my wont in our marriage). Coming up to 2 years separated in April.

Plus I have no clothes (slight exaggeration)

And bored of mystery shopping. Done two shops and one bank. Need to do tgree more banks and one more shop. And my nails are all urgh and cba to file them. I sense a repetitive theme here...

WFF we'll get houses in the same road and take on the luvverly Scots men :o

Actually Scottish men is another one of those 'always seem to attract' ones.

Particularly Scottish doctors. I erm... might have an Edinburgh date too with one.

lulubellaboozle · 07/03/2013 10:45

Miranda definitely getting the repetitive vibe here Grin Grin

WarmFuzzyFun · 07/03/2013 10:46

'I sense a repetitive theme here...' Miranda, I think you could be right!

WarmFuzzyFun · 07/03/2013 10:49

Lubey I am off to pack...

I like a steady supply of (ahem) sex, so may as well go a hunting, Jules come on we'll capture something before lunch!

Wink
MirandaWest · 07/03/2013 10:49

I now hate the cloud wifi Grin

Tried on dress in debenhams because it was half price. Was unconvinced. May go back later.

I should send mr nice the same moaning text four times I think....

JulietteMontague · 07/03/2013 11:32

I am so happy. DS is very bright and severely dyslexic. He's had a lot of serious things to deal with too (skipping a massive amount here). His dream has always been to go to Uni. 18 months ago he was asked to leave school after they said his AS results weren't good enough. Anyway, after a lotof effort we found a new school that welcomed him and he started his A levels again. He just came home with some January exam results. He got his first A. I can't explain how happy I am for him, and proud, and grateful to this school and doing the I told you so dance to everyone that was less than supportive Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin

JulietteMontague · 07/03/2013 11:44

and a huge bucket of fuck right off to every single smug Mum 'friend' who questioned if DS is normal over the years (yes, really those words) and who have rubbed it in by saying 'oh, really? x doesn't have those problems'. It took a while but no longer friends obvs.

WarmFuzzyFun · 07/03/2013 11:54

Jules Grin Good for you and DS!

It is nice when good things like that happen to your kids as you know how much it really means, such an achievement, fantastic! Yay!Smile

KirstyWirsty · 07/03/2013 11:55

Jules fantastic!!

OWW glad you had a chat and are feeling happier

OhWesternWind · 07/03/2013 12:00

Fantastic news Juliette and well done to your lad for keeping going and not giving up on his dream. (And well done to you too for being such a brilliant mum and not putting up with second best for him). So pleased.

48howdidthathappen · 07/03/2013 12:01

OWW Very happy for you Smile

What a fantastic confidence boost for your son Juliette Its lovely when they grow up and realise how hard you fought their corner.

I had an awesome night with Mr R&R. I have no idea how the best ever just keeps getting better Grin

lulubellaboozle · 07/03/2013 12:11

Juliette that's great news, big congratulations to him (and you too)

48 Mr R&R is a good un Grin

WarmFuzzyFun · 07/03/2013 12:22

I didn't want to but 48 this one is all yours Envy

WarmFuzzyFun · 07/03/2013 12:22
Smile
JulietteMontague · 07/03/2013 12:32

Thank you. I am beyond happy for him, he has a great mind but just had problems getting it on paper. That one A wipes is a massive confidence boost for him and to see him smiling for the first time with a bit of results paper in his hand was worth everything.

48* Mr R&R is ace, you are all ace, the world is ace today Grin

lulubellaboozle · 07/03/2013 12:40

Mr EA went to a funeral yesterday and got rather intoxicated, he is still rather intoxicated, I sent him a text saying "what am I going to do with you?" to which he replied "anything! but be quiet and be gentle!"

In his dreams!
