The first one started by a bloke?

Yes Smoothie I think it must be the vulnerability, someone being with you while you sleep is so intimate.

OWW I had the same situation with exh, in addition to him never wanting to sleep with me, he never wanted to sleep with me either.
Sleeping with Spud felt right from the start, rather sadly.

KinNora · 30/04/2013 16:29

I errr haven't read it yet OWW I'm putting it off

smoothieooo · 30/04/2013 16:46

Come on Kin - I'm hoping you'll be pleasantly surprised!

KinNora · 30/04/2013 16:57

Ok, it's read, pleasantly anodyne, not at all funny .

And he registers a pleasing 7 on the Name-o-meter where 1 is Cornelius, and 10 is Dominic Fitzpatrick.

Good Afternoon!

I have never yet slept (as in sleep sleeping) with anyone. Lab has mentioned this every single time. I can't relax in strange surroundings, have problems sleeping at the best of times and really prefer to go home.

I have stayed the night be it is more of an active rather than restful time IYKWIM.

Jules, I hope it is the start of something special, I have everything crossed for you. And no I won't scratch that contact itch.

OWW you're doing great (another set of fingers crossed for you)

Kin that website is one of my favourites and I have this one dress
Oh and Kin, he might surprise you, in a good way...Wink

If there is a gathering of Thread folk I'm in! Thread Rules pah! Consenting adults blah, blah, blah.

WarmFuzzyFun · 30/04/2013 17:17

Ah, typos are back.

VelvetSpoon · 30/04/2013 17:38

Ooh kin exciting! Have you replied?!

I love sleeping in the same bed as C. I haven't with other men in the past, who used to end up lying on my hair, or insisting I didn't touch them Hmm I just feel ever so comfortable with C, he never lies on my hair, and he likes cuddling hopefully not just because he is always freezing and I am constantly warm, like a giant hot water bottle . And we BOTH snore Grin Blush

KinNora · 30/04/2013 17:41

Ikey baby woohoo, you have mail.

KinNora · 30/04/2013 17:43

Twinny, you are not going to believe this - I wore that exact dress to my work Christmas party last year !

KinNora · 30/04/2013 17:48

Yes, I replied Velvet, not entirely sure he'll message back but still, worth a punt.

I completely sympathise about men sleeping on your hair, it's most irritating.

WarmFuzzyFun · 30/04/2013 17:49

Shock @Kin...Say 'hi' to mom!

48howdidthathappen · 30/04/2013 17:55

I can sleep with anyone as long as they aren't into lots of cuddling.

Need space Smile

MirandaWest · 30/04/2013 18:06

I grew fed up of sleeping with XH as we both moved further over to our own sides.

I like sleeping with Mr Nice. We sometimes lie cuddled up all night GrinBlush Grin

KinNora · 30/04/2013 18:07

I shall, Twinny. Sadly the dress invited rather more bap handling than I was entirely comfortable with.

WarmFuzzyFun · 30/04/2013 18:29

Yeah, it is kind of a show stopper, jaws to the floor effect. I have only worn it once. I'd rather someone speaks to my face Blush

I like the one you linked though, especially the stretchy fabric.

I am on a dress fast at the moment, too many beautiful dresses and not enough opportunity to wear them.

ike1 · 30/04/2013 18:39

Thanks Kin! I will keep you all up dated as to whether myself and Mr Ruse will meet up! Hellloooo people!

ike1 · 30/04/2013 18:41

Another non cuddler here...too peri menopausal for that nonsense!

KinNora · 30/04/2013 18:42

Oh yeah WFF, the black one has an inner control lining thing that's been made out of bloody tungsten or something. I also have an emerald green velvet one from there that I've not worn yet, I'm a dressaholic.

WarmFuzzyFun · 30/04/2013 18:45

Those dresses cost a fortune getting through customs, or do you order through a UK website? I might break the dress fast....

KinNora · 30/04/2013 18:51

I've not found anywhere online in the UK that stocks them, have you looked at Stop Staring dresses and Twentieth Century Foxy ?

I'm not buying from PUG again which is a real shame, their customer service was useless when the last thing I ordered didn't arrive, FedEx said it'd been delivered and signed for by me, when I hadn't seen hide nor hair of it. PUG effectively accused me of lying - not happy.

ike1 · 30/04/2013 18:57

Wow Kin! Some of those dresses are gawjus on Stop Staring! Shame about the price though. I like the red Lana dress..

Secretservice · 30/04/2013 19:18

Phew! Glad I caught in time to wish juliette bon voyage. How long are you staying for? Really hope it lives up to all our expectations Grin

OWW sorry I wasn't around on your blue day, but pleased to see you're feeling better. This thread is ace at pulling us all through the tough times. Indie still sounding good!

Those dresses are bootiful! Wish I ever had somewhere to go to wear them

And can I add my name to any mid summer meet up guest list, please?

Waves wildly at everyone

ALittleStranger · 30/04/2013 19:30

I love sleeping with people, even strangers. This probably speaks of deep ishoos acquired in childhood. Hmm

KinNora · 30/04/2013 19:50

Ike I've got this one blimey. They often come up on eBay for much less.

Stranger -what, even when they're all snuggly and draped all over you ? Makes me feel dead claustrophobic.

JulietteMontague · 30/04/2013 19:50

Arf at OWW 'Really grateful for Juliette's post last night reminding me what a shit he was/is, and to everyone else for being so understanding and sympathetic. I love this thread Grin

I am obviously vair excited, vair stressy from packing/hand luggage dilemma vair happyl. Neither of us slept much last night, lots of chemistry on Skype so we'll see what RL brings. Either way, he is lovely, kind and cute so all will be well. Off pre dawn so 1/2 sleep to go Grin
