think the eye-talion must have arrived and be wooing OWW with a rendition of just more cornetto Grin

KinNora · 24/04/2013 20:41

Pom what is it not ?

Tigsy it was a real struggle before not to lapse into comedy Italian.

Ike you might have to handle the general public

Pomegranatenoir · 24/04/2013 20:51

I know, not my responsibility!! Thanks kin

I had already arranged a babysitter so to celebrate my new job I am going out to dinner with a friend and she is driving! Must remember not to get drunk!!!!

KinNora · 24/04/2013 20:57

It's ok Pom sometimes it's hard to stop feeling responsible for other's feelings. I hope you have a marvellous time tomorrow.

VelvetSpoon · 24/04/2013 21:01

Tigsy as the thread's resident part Italian, I will forgive you Grin

Hope he turned up and Western is having a nice evening!

Flipper924 · 24/04/2013 21:09

Popping by for OWW's loo update...

Pom, you did the right thing. Better to stop it now if it's not what you want, than keep him hanging on, and then wondering what he did wrong when you end it later.

OhWesternWind · 24/04/2013 21:14

Oh dear this is not good. I'm fine but he is very, very intense and he has a sodding beard!!

Flipper924 · 24/04/2013 21:22

Are you going to be able to last till the end of your drink, OWW?
You can always leave now, if you want.

KinNora · 24/04/2013 21:30

Oh dear to the 'very,very intense' and a giant beard meh. Do you need to do a runner ?

TigsytheTiger · 24/04/2013 21:32

do you need someone to ring your mobile with an 'emergency' OWW!! Beards are a no no! yuck! PM me your mobile if you do!

OhWesternWind · 24/04/2013 21:36

Omg that was the weirdest date ever. On my way home now. Very, very odd man. Full story when I'm back! Nothing awful just odd cubed.

ike1 · 24/04/2013 21:36

Yep been at the end of intense....dont mind a beard though...erm...just say you have to go cos you need an early night. I am off to watch Evil Dead...see if that will cheer me up.

TigsytheTiger · 24/04/2013 21:39

OWW glad you are okay, I still think Indie may be a slow burner who comes good! and in the meantime looking forward to the full story of Mr Beardy Intense aka the eye-talion.

Ike Evil Dead? yeah, that'll put a smile on your mug x

HeyBeenTryingToMeetYou · 24/04/2013 21:45

I like the sound of Indie OWW, slow burners seem to be the way to go given some of the lovely success stories on here. The intense date sounds, erm, interesting....

I've decided to take a half way house approach to OD, and send my photo to people that I like the look of. Am presuming this is possible via the IM feature of OKCupid, otherwise how would all the cock shots arrive! .

I've sent a few messages out today, will see what comes back...

Can I ask you wise people, do you reply to each message you get? I'm more than happy to ignore 'U look nice, wanna chat x', but it feels a bit churlish to ignore someone who says 'I like the look of your profile, would you like to chat'. Or am I being too polite?

Scrazy · 24/04/2013 21:57

Kin, I've been 5:2 ing now for about 8 weeks. Lost about 10lb and I'm not bragging but didn't have much to lose. I am tiny 5ft2 and went up to 9st now around 8st 4. It's so easy to stick to. I'm ready for my bikini now and went shopping for holiday clothes last week and everything I tried on fit and look fab. When I was at my heaviest I went shopping and came home with nowt! Most of the dresses and trousers I bought were size 10 but a couple of tops a 12 as I am busty. I've lost and inch of the top 2 off waist and hips. Would like a little more off and might just do a 6:1 for the next few weeks.

Anyway sorry for the hijack, but I thought I would never lose the menopausal excess weight that crept on.
