Was feeling good this morning as I can now get into every one of my dresses. Then over something else, DS delivered a real put down. This isn't a teen thing, there is fairly constant tension and he'll be 19 in July, I think this is it.

All will be well, yes?

Yes, I'm living in hope that in the next few years, my objectionable almost 18 year old will transform into the admirable young man I put such effort into raising. Because he's an offensive git right now.

I heartily recommend swearing at him in your head/flicking the Vs behind his back but you may not be as silly as me.

And bravo on the dresses front

Dresses are excellent things :)

We are at swimming lessons. Usually they are crowded and hot but hardly anyone is here which improves the experience massively.

DC did good tidying with me before and house now does not look such of a tip. After swimming we will go food shopping (including food for cat). Will go to bed before 2am this morning

Smoothie that must have been a great feeling when your ex was trying to show off :)

Want a laugh?

Just got in from Tesco. I saw creepy park lover there. He was only with his gf and new born fucking baby! My son actually ran into him with his toy pram and that's how I noticed him. He looked straight at me and you could see fear in his eyes.

I carried on going then came time to find a till. Went to closest one and hes only there getting served! You should have seen the sweat come off him!

sp what a joker! He had every reason to sweat the dirty toe-rag! Vile individual!!

Are you okay??

SP oh my god! what a complete and utter tool!! I bet he was sweating, weren't you just a little bit tempted to wind him up and say something?

OWW shame about cakey, but we all know too well, you can't conjure it up, if isn't there.

Ike Kin you two make me laugh out loud, I think that's a lol!! Ike in my experience, camera's on phones are pants for taking photos, if that's what you are using? Happy to look at pics if you want another opinion.

re the speak on the phone, before a date conversation - I was completely the opposite, I wouldn't meet someone first unless I had spoken to them. It's the voice thing, I've got to like the voice and I can tell if there is any banter and if they are as quick witted on the phone as they are in writing. Everyone is different, if I didn't like what I heard I would make an excuse - my kids have just arrived phone, a delivery man is walking up the path etc etc and then text afterwards to say, sorry I had to end the call so quickly, lovely to chat with you, but sorry I didn't feel we were completely suited, best of luck with your search etc etc. always had a nice reply back and never had anyone turn arsey on me. Just personally, I thought it saved getting all dolled up to go and meet someone that wasn't going to be right.

Mr EA resisted a phone call for about a week, telling me he was crap on the phone and only had 2 minute conversations. I finally persuaded him with a text along the lines of "Mr EA, how can I say this nicely, for fucks sake pick up the phone you big girl's blouse" and we chatted for 1.5 hours

I did! I spoke to his gf about how cute her baby was. He was dripping in sweat! Then as I was waiting for taxi he was putting stuff in the boot of his car and kept staring. Never seen someone pack shopping into a boot so quick! I feel sorry for his girlfriend. She was really pretty and the baby was easily barely a month old!

Oh my god SP that's dreadful, poor you and that poor woman and child, being deceived by such a disgusting sleaze bag. Hope you're not too shaken.

Tigsy , you see I'm not quick thinking enough to come up with plausible excuses if I was talking to someone I wanted to get away from, I'd end up being stuck listening to Arthur Fuckwit for three hours.

In other news, I've just had cock shot number three, rammed in my inbox - with the helpful addition of a tape measure - like QVC but pinker and less welcome.

I'm not bothered, he was a creepy fucker anyway and wasn't planning on seeing him again but the fact he had a gf and a newborn and was doing that and has a profile makes me wonder if creepy fuckers try it will most of the people online be the same.

SPs how bloody awful

tigsy TheBoy wanted to speak to me on the phone .. I had been out with a friend and we'd had 3 bottles of wine .. I told him I only speak to my two best pals and my mum on the phone and I wouldn't give a good account of myself .. I did end up speaking to him v briefly x

SP what a nasty little man. Poor gf, poor baby. Best bleached from your memory bank.

and Kirsty how did the phone call go ..... not sure I would remember after 3 bottles of wine .

To be fair, I had my share of Arthur Fuckwits Kin. One was a body building policeman whose messages were quite nice, but he was thick as shit on the phone. His favourite food was chicken and salad and his favourite place to eat was NANDO's, when he couldn't go to NANDO's he got a chicken and salad kebab from the kebab shop, it wasn't as nice as NANDO's but it was very good value ...... me, do you like eating any other food? him, ....... silence well, there is another kebab shop I go to as well, but it's more expensive. I can't believe you haven't been to NANDO'S, you would love it, if we go on a date I'm taking you to NANDO'S tigsy quietly opens front door and rings own bell oops so sorry someone at the front door, got to go, lovely to speak to you ........... a dreadful date avoided in fucking Nando's

kin you know the reply - sorry, not sure what you have sent me a picture of? it looks like a willy, only smaller?

or - that reminds me, i need to add mushrooms to my spag bol!
or- goodness I dug up a worm in my garden this weekend and i wondered where it ended up

See, Tigsy, that's just exactly what I'm worried about - I dont come over well on the phone if I don't know the person, find humour difficult as you've none of the non-verbal clues to say tone it down, or this guy likes a bit of gentle Micky-taking or whatever. I'm quite good in real life but I wouldn't get past the phone interview! You'd have made your excuse and sent your text with me ...

SP just urgh. Foul man.

Juliette great news with the dresses! Fabulous. Sid what your ds says, you're brilliant.

very horrid SP, sadly he'll probably carry on with his 'activities' but making sure he goes out of the supermarket catchment area! :(

SP outrage!!! Fucker!!!

tigsy :)

Lovely nameless is lovely. Smashing text when he woke up sending kisses, email just there with a kindle file of a book he said he'd send me. I think I'm feeling a bit bewildered as he can get brain-fuzz and not reply to things within what might be usually acceptable time frames, when in reality I think he spends a good deal of time thinking about me, but just fuzzes out before his brain connects to his fingers. Part of me would kind of like to know if this is going anywhere... And the sensible part thinks this is all good, so why do I need some kind of quantification of how he feels about me. Just going through a post holiday 'argh' most I think. Nt sure crash carp is required. Going to his after work tomorrow for game o' thrones and sex kisses.

awww OWW who says you don't come over well on the phone? it's just nerves and everyone is nervous. I used to read their profiles, or have them in front of me and think up 3 or 4 questions to ask if it felt like the conversation was going to dry up.

I always did my usual mickey take and banter and if they didn't get it - well, I didn't think they would be for me there were plenty of awkward silences and few, you don't take any prisioners do you?. I knew Mr EA was for me, when he sent me a text the next morning saying "Hi Tigsy, it was lovely listening to you, I mean talking to you last night x" cheeky fucker

Snape I'm looking at you, will progress to raised eyebrows the I'll tell kin and she'll get her Carp out.

All is well, leave it to grow

OWW thanks, Sid DS indeed

Tigsy - do you fancy coming out to NANDOs later ?

( it was quite a large penis and the angle it was photographed at gave it a distressingly 'coming out of the screen' 3D effect)

Kirsty -hope you're having fun.

Snape the cart is plugged in and charging ..... ees all good, just revel in it ( look, the Mexican accent's catching )

An attractive local man has winked at me on Match.

I know, I'm just impatient, me. :)

Eye khnow. Ees jus impatiano.

snape you give us all hope! Thank you

In still having a rubbish time. Sat in bed eating shepherds pie and kids in bed. Had to leave work early today. I have been fighting my sad feeling fr days now. Tried to busy myself all day but I had an awful headache, palpitations and the shakes all afternoon and I just couldn't stay there any longer. Walked out if my office and just sobbed walking to the car park. Everything is in top of me at the mo and od is just a rejection too far. I'm going to have a break for a bit I think. I loved the distraction that it provided but at the moment all it is doing is upsetting me further. Feel like I have read lots of profiles, sent lots of witty first messages to men that I liked the look of and what did I get in return - nothing! It is demoralising. I have rewritten my profile, changed my pics but I am still not good enough for these men to reply. And they all say they want someone normal. i Am normal - well at least I was till I got a weekends worth of rejection. Can't do it anymore!!!

Please noooooooo to the Mexican accent!!!!
