Decisions, decisions, Lubey ... (Or both)

Scrazy · 07/03/2013 22:23

See who come up trumps tomorrow Lubey, when is your trip?

ike1 · 07/03/2013 22:24

Kin that sounds like bloody full on in comparison to Ike World where experimenting with different flvours of Soreen is about as exciting as it gets!

VelvetSpoon · 07/03/2013 22:25

7 photos is a bit much I think. Plus although she is very young and pretty, I heard her giving the DH a right bollocking on the phone the other day (along the lines of 'who were you talking to when I phoned? why were you talking to them' etc) so all this stuff doesn't always = being happy...

Nora I think a man quoting Shakespeare would be quite attractive, beard or no beard (disclaimer, I have never kissed a man with any facial hair beyond a little stubble). When are you seeing any of them next?

ike1 · 07/03/2013 22:25

Oh and noted that Bill has a fan club....I'd better not mess with perfection then (snarf)

Not long to go then, have a lovely time.

I'm away next week but there won't be any shenanigans as I'm going to visit DD.

ike1 · 07/03/2013 22:33

I am having another stolid convo with someone who I will call Mr TV. Dear god...maybe its me..p'raps I am expecting too much? Not asking the right questions? Sigh ...he's another pissing Scorp btw...

ike1 · 07/03/2013 22:34

yeah not long! I started packing today

I text BC earlier asking if he knows about the 12th or not yet... no reply so far, he's usually quite quick too. Hmm going to take no news as bad news I think!

Cagey and stingy with the info they are scorps....until they unleash it all on you all of a sudden...

Scrazy · 07/03/2013 22:40

I'm not going until middle of next week. I have family here again looking at wedding venues this weekend.

I've been listening to the news. More people are living alone than ever before mainly because women are empowered to do so and social pressure is off, as is the rise in single parent households so we are all pioneers to a new way of living.

We should all be pleased that we can do it alone. Then there is sex, it's OK if you can live without it Grin. We can still have sex without living with someone.

KinNora · 07/03/2013 22:49

It's cyclical innit, Ike ? Nowt for ages and then three at once, I'm sure they will all prove to be crushingly disappointing ( I can make malt loaf you know, give me a shout if you want me to courier some over ).

Velvet, I have a real weakness for men who write beautifully, and he really does. The Othello quoting is the icing on the cake. My exh always promised to take me to see Othello, and do we think that ever happened ? Did it buggery.

JulietteMontague · 07/03/2013 22:53

Lubey why do you have to choose between the two, will you run out of time for both?

KinNora · 07/03/2013 22:53

Oh and yes, I should be seeing Mr Software and Mr Showbiz in a couple of weeks birthday sex ? Don't mind if I do

MirandaWest · 07/03/2013 22:53

I'm not going anywhere :(

Do have summer holiday (DC and me for two weeks in Northumberland) booked and also sister and her DH are treating us (including our mum and dad) to a weekend in centre parcs in July.
These feel a while away though got lots of work to do between then and now

JulietteMontague · 07/03/2013 22:55

Kin you must go this year then. Promise yourself.

VelvetSpoon · 07/03/2013 23:04

Kin I agree with Juliette :)

I am only going to Essex this weekend but I quite like going back there to my old haunts Grin. Will be out with my oldest friends and getting riotously drunk.

Must not chat to men! unless they are really really good looking and not rough builder types

ike1 · 07/03/2013 23:18

That is it! I have been through the profiles on POF of blokes in 2 biggish cities ages 35-45 and its all very meh. Those that arent meh to look at seem to be crushingly boring......I currently have approx 65 unopened messages in the inbox cos I just cant be bothered....spose I should just delete them.

Juliette, too much work and not enough time for men... well, not two of them anyway. I only have the one night available out of four.

JulietteMontague · 07/03/2013 23:40

Shame. I don't suppose they'd double up..

ike1 · 07/03/2013 23:40

Yeah just go Kin! You dont need some mouldie bloke to take you!

Morning All.

If anyone is willing to be my notified person please PM me to sort out details.

I would really appreciate the support as I can't think of anyone in RL to whom I'd want to ask. Which is Sad but c'est la vie eh?

Am off to work but will check in later.

WFF

KinNora · 08/03/2013 06:46

Morning everyone,

Oh aye, I waited for years for him to sort it out ( he had 'contacts' ) I particularly wanted to go to the open air Shakespeare in Regent's Park but that never happened either so I'm definitely taking myself off when I find a production I fancy.

A tiny comment from Mr Showbiz last night which makes me suspect he's a fully fledged high heels and stockings fancier, I suspect a mention of my Louboutins will have him rubbing his thighs like a beardy Vic Reeves.
