Aww Jule! But its Xmas!!

KinNora · 29/04/2013 22:36

Nope but let me just put this out there, if Mr R&R brings his brother, I get first dibs.

HeyBeenTryingToMeetYou · 29/04/2013 22:39

Yes I am liking him a lot more now Kin

Christmas Do! Christmas Do! Christmas Do! gets a bit overexcited for a newbie

KinNora · 29/04/2013 22:40

Hey we have all simpered like twats at various points.

A Christmas do would be hilarious.

ike1 · 29/04/2013 22:42

Hey its a good sign! No cant see the point in excrutiating phonecalls..skype if it is a distance or just bloody well meet up!!

KinNora · 29/04/2013 22:44

And case in point, I'm currently simpering like a twat because Showbiz has rediscovered his flirting mojo. He's a right perv, he really is.

VelvetSpoon · 29/04/2013 22:46

If there's a Xmas do I'm definitely there Grin

Will try not to relieve Xmases past 1996 where I snogged an entire minibus full of blokes because '....well, it's Xmas' Blush Hmm.

Ike, maybe too late but saw this yesterday

3 free days, might be worth it?

I've been on the sofa. My friends little girl passed away and I haven't felt like chatting to randoms

One I had spoken to on the phone, quite a few weeks ago. Major red flags (his GF kicked him out after accusing him of DV - 'never touched her', he was then homeless and got drunk lots while sofa surfing. Then he had a bike crash, then he moved to London) Gulp! So I didn't contact him and ignored. Not something I usually do but we were all tied up with grieving. I then got a barrage of abuse through POF - after 2 days of missed calls and texts. I calmly explained I was preparing for a 7 year olds funeral and dating was the last thing on my mind, his answer? - women are all the same, hear his story and blank when he's a good person and was set up, we are all bitches, cockteases, nasty etc. I sent him one last message - Never contact me again as I will report it as harassment and yes, I believe other women when they say they are abused and thank you for showing his true colours - blocked

Ugh - fuckwit!

It's been a tough few weeks and I'm guessing we will be having a tough year :(

JulietteMontague · 29/04/2013 22:49

I there is a Xmas do, please can we please only have people who have been or are thread members whimpers at memory of general MN meetup

JulietteMontague · 29/04/2013 22:52

MsC that is terrible, my sympathies to all of you.

VelvetSpoon · 29/04/2013 22:56

Oh MsC how desperately sad, sympathies to you and of course to your friend. Life is horribly cruel.

That man sounds like the worst kind of idiot and certainly not the kind of thing you need to be dealing with whilst grieving.

HeyBeenTryingToMeetYou · 29/04/2013 22:58

So sorry MsC

KinNora · 29/04/2013 22:59

That sounds dreadful MsC, I'm sorry you've had such a rough time recently.

That's brilliant Velvet Grin. I once got off with a doctor at a work Christmas party, retired to the loo where he constantly tried to unzip my dress and emerged dishevelled, only to be confronted with every other partygoer, standing in a big group outside the door because they'd been looking for me. I then had to work with him for three months with the memory of his erection pressing into my abdomen, resurfacing at inopportune moments

MirandaWest · 29/04/2013 23:06

MsC I am really sorry :(

HeyBeenTryingToMeetYou · 29/04/2013 23:11

I need to know more about the general meetup Juliette...

I need to go to more Christmas parties kin

Bant · 29/04/2013 23:15

Erm. While I love the idea, is 8 months a bit far ahead to be planning a Christmas meet up?

OhWesternWind · 29/04/2013 23:24

Really sorry to hear about your friend's daughter MsC. That bloke is an absolute fuckwit. How horrible for you on top of everything else.

ike1 · 29/04/2013 23:26

Oh now Bant...are you coming as The Grinch? Thanks for the heads up Mrs C....unfortunately I have already shelled out for Club Winker (Match). Please accept my commiserations though both for the funeral and hassle from a wanker...

Bant · 29/04/2013 23:27

MsC, sorry to hear about your friends little girl. If you want to pass on the guys email address or profile name I daresay some if us would be delighted to tell him what we think of him.

ike1 · 29/04/2013 23:33

And we all know what freakin pervs docs can be eh Kin Shall I mention the words A.n.g.e.l D.e.l.i.g.h.t now Ban has arrived???

ike1 · 29/04/2013 23:33

ike1 · 29/04/2013 23:35

ike1 · 29/04/2013 23:37

Flipper924 · 29/04/2013 23:38

MsC, I'm so sorry for you and your friend.

Christmas do? Yay!

(Me and Bant, 89%. Just saying. Wink )
