Morning all

OWW but you know the quiet ones often surprise you right Wink if engineer lets you down at any point get Cakey over for a booty call and corrupt him!

ike1 · 08/04/2013 08:40

Lubes! Think that libido is looking to be scratched again!!

lubeybooby · 08/04/2013 08:41

yes, ike... it continues to torture and bemuse me...

ike1 · 08/04/2013 08:43

Hahahah even on a frigging monday morning!!

:o

Good morning everyone, fortunately my libido's not awake yet because if it was it'd have been shocked back into a coma by a message from a man who looks like the human equivalent of Dylan from the Magic Roundabout. one for the youngsters

Have you got anymore likely prospects lined up Lubey ?

Ike have you come to a decision about Herby as a friend ?

OWW I sympathise, dirtiness is essential.

OhWesternWind · 08/04/2013 09:13

Yep, no possibility of a booty call with Cakey. Need to text him this morning, will do Juliette's friends text as he is good company, just not in the slightest bit sexy.

This is where I am really missing the fantastic filthy sex with LM. Oh dear.

lubeybooby · 08/04/2013 09:36

Nope Kin. Gah

I think I'm going to be sofa bound for a while, while the onslaught of work continues.

I've also just decided to quit smoking. I have one pack left and I'm not buying any more. It's a RIDICULOUS amount of money. And I'm sick of my sodding smokers cough.

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.....

I suddenly have the urge to stop, and so I have to take the opportunity when that happens otherwise the willpower just isn't there. I've been waiting for this urge since I started smoking again in 2011 so it's been a long time coming.

Anyway that means I'll definitely be sofa bound because I'll be a grouchy fat lump til I'm through the worst of it. (6 weeks or so in my experience) UGH.

So the libido is just going to have to stfu for now. Hopefully #1fwb will be around again soon and might ease the torture a little...

If I'm feeling brave at some point I might get my arse on PoF again... we'll see how the non smoking goes and if I can avoid too much weight gain and feeling crap.

OhWesternWind · 08/04/2013 09:40

Good for you Lubey! Are you doing ecigs or patches or cold turkey? It took me loads of tries to stop, tried hypnosis, acupuncture, patches but then one morning I just woke up and stopped, been nearly twelve years now. You can do it!

lubeybooby · 08/04/2013 09:44

OWW I did well last time (before the big bad break up) going pretty much cold turkey.

I used patches for the first three days.

This time I have found an e cig that doesn't choke me (lights version) and I still have a few patches left.

Hoping they will get me through that hideous first few days then go cold turkey again after that. Though if i find myself non stop eating I might keep using the e cig.

I've also just ordered about a kilo of sugar free gum.

oh gawd..

OhWesternWind · 08/04/2013 09:51

Right, sent a let's be friends text to Cakey.

Snapespeare · 08/04/2013 09:53

lubey well done. You're going to be just fine. I stopped smoking in November, I've had one or two when I've been squiffy, but find it really difficult to smoke these days. I've lost my inhale reflex. :( I have put on loads of weight though (sigh)

I'm going to rein it in with nameless for a couple of days. Texts telling him that I miss him are not calm and collected. They're needy. I'm not needy. [nods]

Snape I'm going to try and allow myself to stuff my face for a few days to ease the pain, but I'm already right back at the upper limit of weight that my body can take without killing my knees and spine under the strain (and without going up a dress size... everything already tight on me... argh)

So this time I have GOT to not put on weight.

Last time I put on 10lb before it started coming off again with excercise, but I had only just lost about 40lb so I didn't care too much

This time I cannot afford a 10lb gain - and neither can I carry on smoking either.

No pressure on yourself at all then lubes. nice one. Hmm

OhWesternWind · 08/04/2013 10:06

Well haven't we had a load of disappointing dates recently - Software, CootGirl, MrH, Cakey, Lubey's one, SP's park boy and the rest. Think we are all due for a change of luck.

I actually like dating, it's almost always a reasonable night out and I've met a load of people I wouldn't have met otherwise. But I am getting fed up of being on my own - it's been a long time now with just the LM thing to break it up. I want to meet that person, and at the moment OD is the only way to do that so I'll carry on.

Just realised that two of my babysitters are off to Uni in the autumn - arse! Hope a younger brother will take over.

Snapespeare · 08/04/2013 10:07

I am contemplating a detoxy colon cleanse thing [boak] I shall see what the wisdom of Mn thinks about this.

OhWesternWind · 08/04/2013 10:09

Ooh Engineer message! Need to get dd off the computer so I can read it. Want to meet up soon to see if it's a goer at all ... As ever, I'm hoping!

OhWesternWind · 08/04/2013 10:11

Snape I used to work with a bloke (ex-miner) who swore by his colonic irrigation sessions, got quite evangelical about them ...

Snapespeare · 08/04/2013 10:13

I was thinking more of the supplemental path than a hose up my bum... Had enough of that kind of thing with the prof thank you very much... Blush

Scrazy · 08/04/2013 10:19

I always do cold turkey, my last quit was very successful but I started again! Go for it Lubey and good luck. I always find I'm OK after a couple of weeks. Sleeping the first few days away helps. I might do it again one find day.

OWW agree with Lubey, the quiet ones can surprise you. But if you weren't feeling it at all then forget it.

Also what is with all this filth Confused Grin.

Movingforward123 · 08/04/2013 10:22

Lubey - good luck Wink I stopped smoking three years ago by ready 'Allan carrs easy way to stop smoking' seemed to have works for me! Have you heard of it?

I have put on weight since stopping smoking unfortunately but I'm still glad I've stopped! I've also put on more weight since I havnt been walking properly and now need to loose about a stone and a half Confused

And I can't seem to stop eating crap ConfusedConfusedConfused help

ike1 · 08/04/2013 10:28

Oh Snape ...is it time for me to contact Dr AD on your behalf??? He we will be more than happy to pop over with his arse kit...

ike1 · 08/04/2013 10:29

not we definitely NOT we

JulietteMontague · 08/04/2013 10:33

Snape a colon doctor, yes a real one I was having a op, suggested Aloe, linseeds, psyllium husk and something else I can't remember.

Lubey you will do it, you are in the right place as it's just the time.

ike1 · 08/04/2013 10:41

Kin I have slept on the Herbie situ...and feel that it is all left alone....he was looking at me with utter adoration and there is no way I would want to encourage that! Lovely as he was....
