Snape, isn't it amazing how much has turned around since then?

OWW, I think it's a good idea to have child care separated out from your Mum, so she has no hold over you. You've taken all her power away, so you can choose to have your relationship with her on your terms. Mm, the idea of a PE teacher is nice, but in reality I don't think I'd go there.

Soreen toasty, Nora? With cheese in the middle?

, Tigsy.

KinNora · 21/04/2013 18:24

Flipper not had Soreen Toastie with cheese in the middle but I am very fond of Veda bread and cheese butties so I might give it a go.

Flipper924 · 21/04/2013 18:31

Velvet, aww, that would have made me sad, too. See, you have fab friends, because you're just lovely, you have lots of people who love and care about you. If you think that C is worthy of you, then he probably is.

OhWesternWind · 21/04/2013 18:39

Velvet hugs to you, love, it can be so hard sometimes. But there are plenty of people who love and care for you, don't forget that.

Flipper the PE teacher now works with SEN kids but I bet those tendencies are still there. I am a bit put off by very fit and sporty people as I am a bit lazy and fond of my food and drink.

Snapespeare · 21/04/2013 19:03

ahw velv thats actually lovely of your friend to say that & theres a picture on your fb where your bosom is side on which made me catch my breath, i wish my boobs did that

Velvet yes indeed it's magnificent

OWW I've known a couple of PE teachers, all good but total shaggers and a little bit precious.

Tigsy good on you, ripping is so theraputic

Kin yes all good with Dutchy, we just hadn't spoken at length for a couple of days as he's been back and forth to the boat which is on the coast. We are going to meet up Grin

Mercury, if you are reading, it sounds like a similar situation to how things started with us. It's can be Confused it's ok unless feelings become much stronger.

Looks like my ex is no longer one, back on the cycle, wonder how long it will be until he blots his copy book again. Maybe next time I will finish it for good but this isn't the right time. When it stops being fun I will.

Hi to everyone and good luck with the OD, I will continue reading but am off the sofa for the time being.

mercury7 · 21/04/2013 20:35

it is very Confused Scrazy
oh well :o

OhWesternWind · 21/04/2013 20:41

Juliette how, where, when? I hope he comes and whisks you away on his yacht. How very glamorous. It's like something out of an 80s bonkbuster. Does he have an unlikely but very macho name and a masculine exterior concealing a heart yearning for the sailoress of his dreams?

KinNora · 21/04/2013 21:00

Ooh ooh ooh, you're 'going to meet up' Juliette ? You slipped that in a bit casual like, you rascal

KinNora · 21/04/2013 21:02

Is it Howard's Way, Juliette ?

grinchie · 21/04/2013 21:04

OWW and Tigsy Yes, Ironman is back soon, I've stayed on the sofa, we've spoken every day since he's been gone and this really looks like it could be the start of something big.

STBXH is still a nutter, it looks as though we will have to move out of the area to get away from him (I'm afraid this isn't an overreaction).

Pom and Kin waving back.

Hello to all.

Again OWW I'm sorry about your Mum, you are fantastic.

Pom go out with the man, 2 years is nothing, good things sometimes happen when you least expect it, you just never know............

grinchie · 21/04/2013 21:05

Oh Juliette a boat?
Much envy from me Grin

ALittleStranger · 21/04/2013 21:07

Is it ever acceptable to offer to re-write someone's profile? Hmm I feel like I'm doing the OD equivalent of not pointing out someone has spinach in their teeth at the moment.

Bant · 21/04/2013 21:27

stranger
of course it is. Just say you'd written something like that previously and got some weirdoes, or gave the wrong message or something. Whose is it?

ALittleStranger · 21/04/2013 21:32

I should have been clearer, it's not a friend's, it belongs to someone who "liked" me. If it was a friend's I'd offer advice in a shot, in this circumstance I feel it wouldn't be as appropriate!

JulietteMontague · 21/04/2013 21:39

OWW I wish. I say boat because yacht evokes ideas of a wacking great Gin Palace all white leather seats, helicopter and fawning crew. The reality is far less ostentatious, a sailing boat similar to this but smaller, size being everything in boaty world.

Not sure if he will come over here which would mean a hotel or I will go and stay with him which makes more sense. I like the idea of going there but my only hesitation is that he then it feels like I'm making all the effort and he also said its daft to pay for a hotel when he has a comfortable house which makes me think he's going to be tight.

Flipper924 · 21/04/2013 21:42

I think most normal people would appreciate it, Stranger. I would.

Ooh, I'd missed Juliette's news about meeting Dutchy. Will he sail over the channel to see you? This is very romantic.

JulietteMontague · 21/04/2013 21:43

He has just written me a lovely email saying he is absolutely thrilled I might go and see him Grin. 'Might' because I'm meant to be thinking about it.

Thought
Fish!

It is a very nice house, in the countryside. Not sure about countryside in Dutchland, 'tis very flat. What do they look at?

OhWesternWind · 21/04/2013 21:55

Grinchie so pleased it's all going so well with Ironman. I moved away because of my ex and the feeling of relief was just wonderful. Would it make things difficult with Ironman though if you were in a different area? It can be hard starting again but worth it in many ways. If you want to PM me about any of this if you think I can help at all then please do.

Juliette!!! HA!!! Whatever you say, it is very glamorous and romantic. I jib at going fifteen miles down the road so I am extremely impressed. (Hope you appreciate the nautical pun there, took a lot of effort that did).

Need a bit of advice quick quick. The Italian has asked if he can take me out Tuesday or Wednesday. Now Tuesday I am out with Indie (definitely not getting silly or excited about this one). So I don't know whether to line him up for Wednesday regardless or wait and see how things go with Indie. I've never had dates on two consecutive days before. What would you lot do?

KinNora · 21/04/2013 21:56

OWW line him up for Wednesday. Deffo.

Juliette you look at him and his enormous craft.

KinNora · 21/04/2013 21:58

Oh and I appear to have a date for next Saturday with an ex-80s band member and current comedy film writer/producer.
