WFF I get bored and slightly irritated with them if it is all chat and no action, it takes up so much time and then you just don't know if they are even going to turn up.

As for the weight, you are so right. 10 years ago it just wasn't a problem, I ate less cake, ate the right stuff and the weight just dropped off. I started putting it on about 2 years ago and this time it has been really hard, hence getting a trainer so I can focus on the gym which I know motivates me to eat better. I can't wait to wear my dresses again. I have another 4 kg to go until most stuff fits me.

Nora hope it goes well tomorrow! The hotel sounds like bliss. When areyou going? I am madly jealous. You have to meet Mr Showbuz soon too if you have any energy left!

Lubey. Really gutted for you. Sorry. What a cock.

WFF text humour can be difficult even if you know each other. Maybe best to meet on Sunday and see from there?

Juliette all kudos to you with the weight loss! Bet it is such a boost to you physically and mentally. Great stuff.

There are too many men who love the attention of texting/mailing and are then can't be bothered to arrange a meet up. I will delete and block if we get to the end of the week, or relegate him to a friend (without benefit Wink).

Keep going with the weight loss, the health benefits are dramatic at our age, not to mention the thrill of being able to wear clothes you couldn't fit into previously.

I am in bed :) is good. Have managed to evict all children from aforesaid bed as well (I read to them in here and then kick them out Grin). Now I need to be sensible and actually go to sleep although will mumsnet a little first :)

OhWesternWind · 15/03/2013 21:13

Just need to tuck dd in then it's bed for me too!! My favourite place. I live my bed, I do. Quite fond of LM's too Grin

OhWesternWind · 15/03/2013 21:13

Love. Duh.

Popping in to nag about smear tests.

Feb 2012 I had a negative smear test. It was done on BUPA as part of some gynae investigations. Sept 2012 GP summoned me for my 3-year check. The nurse said it would do no harm to have another smear 6 months after the BUPA one so I did. Positive. The cell changes are early stage and were zapped off easily during a colposcopy but thank god I went. I'm now on 6-month colposcopy visits. I could so easily have left it. Go and get your smear test!

More congratulations on your weight loss, Juliette - you know how you ( it might just be me with this ) imagine other posters on here ? Well I always imagine you as terribly elegant and sophisticated, striding around the world, taking lovers whenever and wherever you see fit don't let on if you actually work in Greggs in Scunthorpe, it'll ruin the illusion for me

I'm going to the Hotel du Vin at the beginning of April, OWW, and 48, I think the bookies' surprise favourite for possible sexy time is beardy Mr Showbiz, coming along on the inside, leading by a couple of anecdotes and an apparent ability to do impressions.

OhWesternWind · 15/03/2013 21:46

I imagine Juliette like that too, very glamorous but in an understated way, men yearning after her but being cast aside as inferior specimens ...

Did Mr Showbiz do a floating chipolata impression at one point, or am I getting confused now Nora? And will he not lose ground due to lack of Nora-inspired portraiture? It's neck and neck as they come up to the line ...

JulietteMontague · 15/03/2013 21:48

Kin if only! I have been most those things at some time except Greggs but the comment I get most from OD is that I'm 'down to earth'. Best not to ask Grin

JulietteMontague · 15/03/2013 21:49

Nora you are allowed more than one you know...

KinNora · 15/03/2013 22:44

Nah, OWW the floating chipolata was Talent Show's, Mr Showbiz, on the other hand, saw a millinery shop today and took a photo because he thought I might like it.

( I'm still fretting about this bloody painting ).

You're one of the women on here whose posts I read, Juliette, and think 'bloody hell, I wish I was a bit more like that ', I think this whole thread is full of the most intelligent, resilient, humorous people.
I did wonder, actually, about having more than one man on the go at once - I've never done that, it may well be about time ...

My friend has just set up an IE account on POF I am amazed at the quality conversations she is having..much better than the normal...what a revelation!!!

KinNora · 15/03/2013 22:54

Are you going to set one up, Ike ?

ike1 · 15/03/2013 22:55

Very tempted just for a laugh and a chat...

ike1 · 15/03/2013 22:58

She did not even have a photo and only three lines..

KinNora · 15/03/2013 23:03

Maybe we all should, just as an experiment. or you could just do it, Ike, and report back

ike1 · 15/03/2013 23:05

Well ...ahem...I have...nothing too exciting to report yet though..about 20 messages from mingers in literally 5mins..

KinNora · 15/03/2013 23:20

What, like an avalanche of spud-u-don't likes ?

( an email from Mr Software has just arrived, he's had a couple of beers and gone a bit soppy - bloody hell, that's the last thing I need )

ike1 · 15/03/2013 23:20

Oh I appear ro have shaken out some of the same guys what a surprise....hahaha...

mercury7 · 15/03/2013 23:21

I put an ie profile up yesterday, put a couple of pics up and only wrote one line..it's been quite entertaining but I'm not sure if I can be bothered to actually meet anyone.
Alot of men act so desperate if there's a suggestion of NSA, it just makes me want to mess them around for my own amusement, are they really dumb enough to think anyone would fall for all the bullshit they come out with

ike1 · 15/03/2013 23:26

Oh I know....I have started to have a bit of fun banter with one young guy. However ...one guy I think if I was interested ...could have serious potential...sensualist, artist...goregeous bod....hmmm

ike1 · 15/03/2013 23:29

But...loads of Scorpios...hahahahahaha

ike1 · 15/03/2013 23:42

plenty of married guys too....
