[JulietteMontague]

All daters welcome here.

Good luck then Kin and Lubey.

I thought I was meant to be meeting The Musician this evening but think I should send a text asking if we had our wires crossed, it's too late now but either he does or doesn't want to meet up and shy or not, needs to get onto it.

apologies accepted, looking forward to watching it on the 6 O'clock news, will point at the screen and say to the kids 'I know her!!'

kin!

Laid back for me is abou picking my battles and passions. So I'm laid back about what we eat, where we go out, things like that and if the other person has a desire to do something, that's normally fine.

If I have a strong view, it gets expressed. If its something that matters I'm not all laid back. And yes I have interests and passions.

Laid back isn't wet, it's just not uptight.

lubey and kin. Enjoy your dates!

Dunno when the unveiling's scheduled for Libby - Christ, I'm worried. It doesn't help that I said I liked the Pre-Raphaelites so he's painted it in that style.

< panics, asks ticket collector for a paper bag to breathe into>

Nora does he have any talent in this direction (or others?)?

Oh, I'm just cringeing for you.

Kin he's not going to unveil in the hotel bar is he?

You just have to take a photo of it asap.

Have you texted him Juliette?

Bill, being laid-back in certain ways is great, I think. I'm like you - really relaxed about where we go, what we eat (so long as there's a veggie option!) etc. It's just when it's combined with a lack of interest or passion about things that it's not so good. I don't want to spend the rest of my life sitting on the sofa, I want to go out and do things (and not have to feel I'm forcing someone to come along with me).

Juliette, I hate it when I don't know if a date is on or off. When did you last hear from him? How firm were the arrangements for this evening? And shyness is no excuse - I'm shy, but I wouldn't leave someone hanging on not knowing if we were going on a date or not.

Kin just thinking this through here The choices you have for the unveiling are;

a) the small hotel bar where you are perched on a stool at the bar and can entertain everyone with your squeals of delight whilst they ask you to show it off.

b) the small hotel lounge, where you are suitably grateful in full view of the boutique clientele you will meet at breakfast and again at lunch and dinner.

c) in private, in your hotel room where no one can hear you scream

Libby meh, he asked me last Friday and I couldn't make it so I suggested this Friday as we were both free. He is generally reticent in contacting and said previously he doesn't want to be pushy but an arrangement is usually handy . No way I would go now, but I will send the text as this is tiresome.

OWW yes texted. It's funny, when you are not too bothered, much the text just goes straight off!

Bill forgot, how's the NEW CAR going?

I'm still a bit like a small boy at Christmas juliette. It's fun and quick but if the ex asks it's smaller and more practical . I have been told that the colour should be officially called "mid life crisis red" though.

Will read properly in a moment, MNing from a giant roll top bubble bath, fuck Software, I'm staying here.

Ooh Bill you got a red car. You are thirty something, that is not just allowed it is the law that every single person has to have a fast red car at some point. Great fun, you can really upset the boy racers by keeping a nice pace then leaving them behind when you hit a hill. Not that I'd know anything about that, oh no.

OWW I had already said it was too late anyway in the text, He had texted saying he thought he was trying for last week and he is now rehearsing tonight for a coming performance. He said sorry about the confusion, 'we' should get organised (cheek) I'm tempted by I won't respond unless someone has a witty reply.

Juliette he's not mentioned it recently, perhaps it perished in a dreadful Art accident < hopeful face >.

I think everyone's forgotten the homemade birthday present too.

I'm here! I'm ignoring the nutter. He doesn't know where I live, I met him at the corner and I got him to drop me at the corner and didn't walk to my house til he fucked off I knew him when I was younger as went to same school. Not surprised his single tbh. Anyone want him?

Didn't meet army guy either. Went for a pub lunch with friends instead and they enjoyed the baby voiced nutter story.

That's good news SP

I'm ready ( and, even though I say so myself, looking quite foxy) and I'm going in.

Feel a bit sick again.

Good luck Kin! Looking forward to your updates.

good luck Kin and remember we are all agog to SEE the painting and hear about your homemade birthday present and oh yeah, any dating stuff too ...

Good luck Nora. It might just be a cake. Or some buns.

All sorted for Sunday night with (lovely) Cakey. No-one saw me write that, right? He's just bound to be awful in real life ...

OK.. my date is on (see I knew libido would start shouting at me to get my arse in gear) and he is on the way to the restaurant. Going by train apparently so if he's intolerable I need to make it known and scarper sharpish so he can still get back!

I'm sure it will be fine though. Wish me luck!
