48 - big hug chuck and hurrah for R&R !

Velvet I hate hairy men, puts me right off - bleeeeuuuuurchhhhh, (although I don't actually make that noise at them, I just do it silently in my head, with a neutral smile on my face, while my brain goes ' Abort mission ! Abort Mission ! ' )

DaydreamDolly · 05/05/2013 10:33

48 Hats off to you! I went to the theatre last night with my girl friends and didn't drink nearly enough, feels quite strange to be here without the DC's and no hangover!

Hairy men - hmmm not had much experience with hairy men to be honest, but one boyfriend from years ago had a bit of a hairy chest and I remember it tickling my nose when I cuddled him in bed

Ok, day sorted. Getting up, exercise DVD, friend picking me up to take me to other friends for lunch, then possibly going to the pub later this afternoon for drinks in the sunshine. Don't actually know the people this friend is meeting down there but will be better than staying in on my own. Won't it?!

VelvetSpoon · 05/05/2013 10:37

Kin fingers crossed that Showbiz is a chest (and back) hair free zone then! C has about the perfect amount of chest hair, I like running my fingers through it Blush I suspect he thinks I'm a bit mad...

Dolly I think that sounds like a great plan for a day. I am going to the supermarket, then doing housework/gardening. Think I'd rather be you!

OhWesternWind · 05/05/2013 10:41

48 sounds like you're having a great time of it with your friends and MrR&R.

Kirsty the rock climber sounds like a better bet and I like how he's said it will be exclusive. Maybe cut your losses with Kilty and move on?

Dolly hope you're enjoying your day and planning some things to make you feel good.

Nora surely not a Jack Russell? He's too suave for frantic thrusting and will have a well-oiled seduction routine. All will be well and the separate rooms make a tactical withdrawal very easy.

I hadn't thought about hairiness but am now a little concerned. Light to moderate hirsuteness is fine, but thick matted hair isn't really for me. Oh the first time is just fraught with potential for things to go wrong.

Indie is nervous and worried about disappointing me and us currently engaged on round two of house cleaning. I take these things as a Good Sign. I am getting into a bit of a tizzy with nerves and excitement and anticipation. Going over at seven. Don't know what to wear - dress/skirt maybe as 1) easy to remove and 2) opportunities for hands on legs etc before getting one's kit off, but I don't want to look too dressed up for staying in ... Help!

In other news, Titto has accused me of harassing his sister and has made shitty comments to my partially-sighted mother about mistakes with her texting. What a paragon of a man.

48howdidthathappen · 05/05/2013 10:44

Sounds good Dolly Smile

My ex was the hairest man I have ever met. Testosterone overload!

Mr R&R is almost hairless. Very boyish. Found it odd at first. Used to it now Grin

MirandaWest · 05/05/2013 10:45

Morning :)

DC and I are eating rock and lazing around. My DSis and BIL and DNiece have just left. We all went out yesterday along with Mr Nice which was good. He came back here for dinner and we all (except DNiece who was in bed) played riotous card game. Then everyone else went to bed and Mr Nice and I did snogging followed by (quiet) sex on the sofa. Was v good

House looks like an 18 month old has been in it for a while although has only been 2 days Grin. Has definitely made me feel I don't want any more children though Grin.

MirandaWest · 05/05/2013 10:47

Mr Nice has minimal chest hair. Wouldn't say no to a bit more but is perfectly OK.

OhWesternWind · 05/05/2013 11:33

Nora sorry, missed this earlier, but was that Spud emailing? Are you okay?

Scrazy · 05/05/2013 11:43

What is the weather like with everyone. It's raining and miserable here and I'm off to the seaside. A visit to a nice hotel will help but I wanted to sit on the beach with an ice cream today Sad.

OhWesternWind · 05/05/2013 11:58

Miserable here too Scrazy - chilly and overcast though not raining at this precise moment. Definitely not an ice cream day, more a put the heating back on day.

No dates at all. I've no barely any messages and the messages I have received are weird.

I am going out tonight though. I will get rat arsed and might snog a randomer. Grin

You never know, I could meet someone tonight! Fingers crossed if not I just hope for a good night

KinNora · 05/05/2013 13:05

There's no way I can share the horror of my most recent back hair encounter without sounding unprofessional, so in a completely unconnected way, I'm just going to say the first random word that comes into my head.
curls - in fact I've been putting some curls in my hair this morning.

OWW yeah, it was an email from Spud. I'm fine, just need to stop being such a wuss.
What about a shirt just undone a tiny bit further than you would if you were going out, a pair of jeans and heels - you look casual but you can do that 'ooh I didn't realise if I bend forward slightly, you get an eyeful of my breasts' thing.

SP it'll be an OD fallow period, they all synchronise themselves, get snogging randoms.

Feel a bit ill.

SPsYoniTheOneAndOnly · 05/05/2013 13:11

Kin I have no choice but to go the randomer route now OD isn't working and delivery guy crush has gone

WarmFuzzyFun · 05/05/2013 13:13

I love a hairy chest, back, arms, the lots! Phwoar! Yup, I am the one Grin

WarmFuzzyFun · 05/05/2013 13:14

Hairy Monkey fan!

Only on the right man tho...

JulietteMontague · 05/05/2013 13:43

Hello from Netherlandia. I just wrote a long post which seems to have got lost.

Sorry to hear some past men swarming down like flies, it must be the Bank holiday or something. Good luck and insouciance to those of you dating later too Grin

So, I'm still here and having a fab time. Dutch is truly lovely, lazy days of food, shagging, wine, talking and cuddles and grinning GrinGrinGrin. He's very direct and open about everything which i like. Early days but very good ones. Have booked ticket home for Wednesday, depending on Blush.

JulietteMontague · 05/05/2013 13:45

Depending on DS exam timetable we'll make arrangements to meet up either here or in the UK soon

WarmFuzzyFun · 05/05/2013 13:46

Oh Jules that is great news...he sounds like a grown up, the Dutch are famed for being straightforward.

TigsytheTiger · 05/05/2013 14:05

I have been at sodding car boot sale this morning since 6.15am, am now officially knackered but much better off Smile. Now I not only have a full-time job but have found a house to rent from first july and without wishing to jinx anything ..... had mediation on Thursday where the mediator did extensive eyebrow raising at STBXH finances and company accounts and mentioned employing forensic accountants etc etc, she also made many comments about acceptable behaviour in the eyes of the court, hee hee I did enjoy watching him squirm... I think he has now realised that an out of court settlement soon may be the best path and keep him out of prison too

My very best line was " Well STBXH you should go away and think about what a suitable settlement may look like or go to court and then spend the next 5 years in prison wondering why you didn't go away and think about what a suitable settlement may look like" cue huffing and puffing!

OWW have fun with Indie all sounds very promising, I like Kin's idea of the slightly unbuttoned shirt!

Kin love the Jack Russell analogy, and hoping for your sake it is nothing like that at all.

just going to have a read and catch up,

WarmFuzzyFun · 05/05/2013 14:09

Tigsy I wonder what STBXH will decide to do?Grin

TigsytheTiger · 05/05/2013 14:13

WFF unfortunately you can't always apply normal levels of thinking and rationality to his over inflated sense of self entitlement but I think even he, in this instance, may have to concede that he is up shit creek without a paddle Grin

TigsytheTiger · 05/05/2013 14:15

btw meant to ask, what's the latest with Lab?
