.....we have to play 'walk on gilded splinters' but the Marsha Hunt version ...I defy any man not to fall under that woman's spell..

ike1 · 02/05/2013 03:25

....also Part Fears 2 The Associates

I will INSIST on something by Jack White ....probs Shakin'.....

KinNora · 02/05/2013 06:38

Ike I can't stand Party Fears Two, if that's on the party playlist then I need a bit of Cure and Fat Bob to balance things out.

Kirsty it's a bit early to say this but have a spiffing sexathon with Kilty tonight.

Wine don't you dare feel bad today, you've swerved an absolute twonk of the highest order.

(OWW are you seeing Indie again tonight ? That might be me imagining things )

Have a fantastic day everyone.

KinNora · 02/05/2013 06:52

Oh and Ike any news from Mr G Ruse ?

MirandaWest · 02/05/2013 07:39

Morning :)

Is beautiful and sunny outside which is lovely :)

Mr Nice came round and all was Good :)

I think OWW is seeing Indie on Sunday maybe?

KinNora · 02/05/2013 08:15

Hello Miranda, Mr Nice sounds lovely. Yeah, OWW is having Sunday lunch at Indie's on Sunday, isn't she ? But I thought she'd arranged to see him tonight too, might have got confused with Kirsty's dates on Thurs & Sunday - it's ma age, you know.

Flipper924 · 02/05/2013 08:21

So much dating and Coffee going on. I understand that the Dutchish enjoy a strong, hot Coffee. Perhaps Juliette will let us know for sure when she updates from her travels (internet access allowing).

KinNora · 02/05/2013 08:52

I thought the Dutchish liked Coffee with a range of interesting extras ( was going to say 'sprinkles' but thought better of it )

OhWesternWind · 02/05/2013 09:06

I'm hoping the Welsh like their coffee that way too, Flipper and Nora . . .

I'm over at his on Sunday evening for a meal and whatever follows. Really hoping it works well between us, have a very good feeling about him from preliminary investigations.

It's lucky old Kirsty with the Thursday and Sunday dates. I think Sunday is going to be a bit of a busy day for us with Showbiz getting in on the act too

Hahaha Kin went to the NEC in Brum to delight over aids n adaptations. Came back and my mate n I decided to have a drink on an empty stomach hence me playng pissed dj last night. I then appear to have sent Mr Ruse the most cryptic e-mail using...yes you guessed it.... the exH's hotmail addy...no explaination as to who I am. He will think I am a ravin loon (he will of course be correct!!)

KirstyWirsty · 02/05/2013 10:04

wine you'll learn for the next one

OWW Sunday sounds great

Yippee .. It's Thursday Grin

ike1 · 02/05/2013 10:05

... I woke up this morning with contacts in ..full slap on...lights blazing....mouth like a desert... its Thurs ffs! And I am over 40!!

ike1 · 02/05/2013 10:08

.....oh and I remember chatting up cyclists in the pub ...my mate n' I breathing in the smell of sweat n' testosterone..the place was rammed with em!!

KirstyWirsty · 02/05/2013 10:11

Go ike go!!

Where is juliette I am desperate to know how she is getting on??!

Secretservice · 02/05/2013 10:44

Goedemorgen! (for our Dutch corespondent)

Have a great to time tonight kirsty and happy belated birthday!

Thanks hey for widening my musical horizons. Don't know how I missed the Femmes Grin

Bant hope you have a great time with kids this weekend and flush Buffy right out of your system

OWW hope you don't exode with excitement before Sunday lunch

Wine glad you've been able to put the twunt behind you. Well done and good luck with the OD incursions! Remote control man was a carer for his mum and by the end his victimhood had started to pall. He keeps popping up, won't take no for an answer. I'm going to have to start ignoring him aren't I? But the polite, good girl that I am won't let me [cross]

Had DS's y7 parents evening last night, which has sort of put everything into perspective. I have brilliant kids Grin [shame]
He, according to his PE teachers has the most exciting sporting potential they've seen in a long time; 'an absolute pleasure' and a natural musician, says his music teacher. And while talking about art, he was told not to try and compare himself to DD1 who is the best drawer the art teacher had ever known in a classroom Grin. Meanwhile DD2's former English teacher, who weren't due to see, called me over to say how much she missed her off-the-wall wit and intelligence iin class and that she, DD2, could do anything in life she chose to Grin. This is the same girl who spent six months under CAHMS three years ago!

Very proud mum gloat over!!

KirstyWirsty · 02/05/2013 10:47

secret you have full rights to be proud Grin

MirandaWest · 02/05/2013 10:55

That is great secret :)

I too missed out on the Femmes. This needs sorting out I think.

WarmFuzzyFun · 02/05/2013 11:05

Dates galore. Yay for Dating Thread, the long hard winter is being shoots of promising possibilities?Smile
WFF cheers Lubey on..you are doing so well
Kirsty hope birthday was great. Welcome to the (ahem) mid forties Grin

OWW ReappearingEngineer, is not quite Kosher on the other Indie sounds very promising?Sunday huh, what you going to wear?
Ike - just like old times eh?Wink
Lab is making me happy, we are going slowly, I get fluttery feelings just thinking about him, and am absolutely petrified. HELP!
Another Yay especially for Secret

Morning twinny!

WarmFuzzyFun · 02/05/2013 11:07

Typos :'the long hard winter is over, shoots of promising possibiities..'

I'd be quite amazing if I weren't so slap dash with the typing.

OhWesternWind · 02/05/2013 11:16

Haha Ike sounds like you had an interesting night of it! Not sure about men in lycra though, doesn't really float my boat

Wine glad you're okay today. I did the minimising thing quite a bit with LM, and am keeping a stern eye on myself so I won't do it again.

Kirsty - how excited are you today? Second time can be even better as a lot of the first-night nerves are gone and you know what you've got to look forward to.

SS fabulous reports for all your dc. You're right to feel proud, it's wonderful to hear from other people how good your children are.

WFF don't think it really matters what I'm going to wear on Sunday as I'm not planning on keeping it on for all that long Grin. Not ready for serious underwear yet, will save that for later I think. So pleased things are going well for you with Lab. Just enjoy, don't think about the future too much and all will be well. So happy for you.

Hey good luck for your coffee date. Update and full report required!

Indie is not feeling too well today (but is in work) - hope this isn't a LM-style tactic leading up to cancelling on me . . .

Secretservice · 02/05/2013 11:31

Thank you all! The warm glow will perhaps help me through the next time I want to bang their collective heads together!

Ohh OWW not sure if I should be saying keep the faith, or reminding you of thread rules 1-3!

Just remembered I was supposed to have a date tonight. Last message was mine saying 'that's a date then' - 10 days ago! Am I right to assume it's not on?

Bant · 02/05/2013 11:37

Service - ask him. He might be thinking the same thing. Doesn't look good though if you haven't spoken for 10 days

OhWesternWind · 02/05/2013 11:42

Rule 4 trust your gut instinct though, SS - I really don't think he is one to mess me around, but I am just a bit cautious/cynical after being caught out by this one with LM.

Hmm, don't think your date is on then. Another messer-about detected.

VelvetSpoon · 02/05/2013 12:03

Morning all!

Those with dates today, have fun. Everyone else, hope it is as sunny and lovely wherever you are as it is in this corner of the south east :)

I am a little peevish at present due only to my own unrealistic expectations. I will get over it, hopefully soon..
