I do have my head screwed on jynier, I just get frustrated by guys who think all women want to be dating. like being single is a bad thing. I just need to learn to articulate this politely. It seems the only way to get out of this definition is to lie and pretend I have a DH/DP. I would like to be able to be single and not obliged to date people. I really am not sure how to deal with it. If I do see people then it becomes another thing to worry about - I have been known to schedule dates just to tell someone I am not interested, but politely, and that never ends well. I find absolute silent treatment is most effective, but that jars with me as I think it's pretty rude to be as silent as I have been, and these people are really nice guys who I would like as just friends

are we playing pass littlebittykitty?

can I have her next after Mrs? Grin she sounds SO adorable

cafecito · 09/04/2013 00:17

haha kitty Grin herrmm.. I like it rough around the edges. The house itself was loveliness though. Just the mother and her cat lived there, and a family of foxes in the back garden.

THEN Liverpool got all weird.... they introduced those shockful things everywhere

MrsShrek3 · 09/04/2013 00:18

Envy at those houses cafe (except the falling down bit)

cafecito · 09/04/2013 00:20

no... not the hair extensions..... not the beatles.... not even the fake tan

(sorry I am not reeeeallly being racist)

they introduced HUNDREDS of these monstrosities

cafecito · 09/04/2013 00:21

If only the house could've been airlifted to London it would have been stunning. But I had to work in London, so I could never have lived there, despite its loveliness

MrsShrek3 · 09/04/2013 00:21

pmsl

they were all fancy designs too
my dc went on the hunt and mapped the buggers with a photo of each Grin Grin

KittyAndTheFontanelles · 09/04/2013 00:25

Oh my poor littlebittykitty being passed around Shock Sad Grin the opposite of her real life, she's never been left with anyone

Although right now you can have her for a few hours so I can recharge for tomorrow. Have you got any laundry? She loves laundry.

Her signing is coming on too so she can make herself understood. Smile

Shockful?

MrsShrek3 · 09/04/2013 00:29

perfect. large basket of laundry waiting to be folded played with Grin

Midwife99 · 09/04/2013 00:33

Hi Cafe - Wow they're really really horrible aren't they?!!
Sorry about your Dad Sad
You can be single! It's perfectly acceptable! You need to stop being gorgeous if you want them to stop asking though!!Wink

Hi Jynier, Mrs. Is LittleKittyBitty asleep now or is one of you jiggling her about? Smile

MrsShrek3 · 09/04/2013 00:40

what's the ishoo with being singleConfused I don't see a problem with any relationship (or not) choice as long as you're happy with it.

sigh. Im off back to lurking.

Midwife99 · 09/04/2013 00:44

What's the sigh for Mrs? You ok?

MrsShrek3 · 09/04/2013 00:48

midwife you sweetie. bit of a downer and not quite sure why just now. can't really explain here anyway. but thank you Smile

Midwife99 · 09/04/2013 00:50

Thanks MrsShrek

cafecito · 09/04/2013 00:52

Mrssss! don't leeeeavveee ussss

Hmm shockful's not a word is it - fires self from thread

I see noting wrong with singledom, but other people do- even reasonably young people, see it as some kind of affliction, which makes it hard to explain to them that I am just not interested, as if, their brains cannot compute that someone would not want to be dating. classic 'it's not you it's me'

I'll stop moaning about my ex now sorry to drag it down (but we are in relationships, par for the course and all that Grin)

themidwife, I have stopped being gorgeous Grin I have gained far too much weight far too quickly this year and I even tried growing a monobrow. My plan isn't working.

cafecito · 09/04/2013 00:53

Thanks and a Bearhug for MrsShrek

cafecito · 09/04/2013 01:02

MrsShrek when you come back... what on earth happened to those things? were they auctioned? if so, are they in people's living rooms??

stuff of nightmares!

in the meantime, big squeezey cafe hugs

I am dithering over trying to sleep or not I have so much work to do I have an interview this week for a really amazing position but have done no preparation at all and no relevant previous study for it so need to read AN ENTIRE MASSIVE TEXTBOOK in 24 hours

Have found out my squatters are not traditional squatters, they are a huge group of mathematician computer programmers making a new currency Hmm I am SO close to going over and befriending them, but my neighbours are busy calling the police and are up in arms about their occupation. my squatters were even on sky news Hmm I've only just realised who they are!

cafecito · 09/04/2013 01:03

stars I love your DP story Grin lives vicariously though stars

Midwife99 · 09/04/2013 01:03

Cafe you can talk about your ex as much as you like. He is a worthless pile of shite that's for sure & if it helps to share that's good. I have a couple of worthless piles of shite exes myself!!

Midwife99 · 09/04/2013 01:05

Fuckety fuck - it's my first day back at work tomorrow after almost 3 weeks & I can't sleep. The clocks have gone forward & I'm fretting about how I'm going to get DDs up, dressed, breakfast & to holiday playscheme by 8am!! Arrggh!!

cafecito · 09/04/2013 01:31

aaargh themidwife! you're a community midwife right? do you do deliveries at the moment? or mainly home visits etc? If it's any consolation, one sleep cycle talksrubbish is 1.5 hours I think for most people. So if you can get 3 hours over the course of the day /night you'll be MORE than fine and bright and sparkly. This is my logic.
