Warm I am obviously only going so my friend isn't on her own. Why would I want to be in a room full of burly, gorgeous rugby players? I'm just taking one for the team and hopefully one of the team Grin

KinNora · 11/05/2013 13:22

Twinny, I'm being picked up at 3.30 Shock and have still to decide what I'm wearing. I've just bought a load of strawberries for the daiquiris - mmmm mm mmm.

Scrazy, no he's never explained his behaviour, essentially he's just a bit very fucked up.

Juliette I know, I really couldn't agree more. If I were to attempt an explanation of his hold over me, I would say that it's probably something to do with my complicated relationship with my dad, however, I know that I will end up with a happy life, Spud will have the regret of not having me for the rest of his.

Scrazy · 11/05/2013 13:26

SP, just grin and bear it, you are a fab friend putting yourself through that Grin.

Kin, I here you, my head tells me to go our separate ways but my heart wins every time. I reckon it's make or break for us this time round. Are you on a date this afternoon? Sorry if I missed that.

KinNora · 11/05/2013 13:31

It really is shite isn't it Scrazy ? I'm not getting involved in a relationship with Spud again, even if he wanted it, it's too painful.

No, no date this afternoon, it's a cocktail party with friends, Showbiz is text flirting though, he's on a boozy weekend with some friends.

Enjoy the cock-tails Kin!

Oh am meeting Mr Ruse next Sat evening now cos the trains are crap on a Sun. A few pints of SA and a tray of curry sauce n chips for him then.....

Snapespeare · 11/05/2013 14:33

oww Grin for positive response from indie. :)

I will join you lovely ladies on a health kick shortly, but it's doctor who night knightly and I want a bucket of KFC. I'm going out with a bang... Next week will be salad-all-the-way. :)

kin what juliette said. Vey, very wise.

Lovely evening with nameless... We walked up to the cemetery and sat in the sun and watched crows and magpies for a bit, then back to his for incredible-movie- sex Blush fell asleep threatening to draw comedy-cock-and-balls all over each other with sharpies. When I woke up stupid-early I nabbed my eyeliner and drew kisses all over his arm (I managed to fight the impulse to write 'I love you' on his back in mirror writing. Grin ) all is well in the land of snapeless, excepting no declarations of love or intent, I'm just blissfully happy. Grin

KinNora · 11/05/2013 14:56

My cynical old heart has allowed a brief eye-misting at that, Snape. No Doctor Who for me tonight, sad face.

Ike so you didn't invite him round yours for sexy time then ?

Wine that is precisely the kind of disaster I'd be presiding over. I don't know if I trust myself with a blender.

I did once explode a tin of black treacle all over my parents' kitchen, there was a whiff of the sitcom about the incident.

JulietteMontague · 11/05/2013 15:40

Oh dear, I hadn't realised that 'bulging' disc in Holland is basically a 'slipped' disc. No wonder my back hurts like hell. Going to the physio was excruciating. My back had suddenly got a lot worse when I arrived. Dutch sorted a physio and off we go. We arrive, he asks if I would prefer him to come in with me to translate, I don't care, I just want to pain to stop.

Take off your clothes says the very young physio (no curtains in Dutchland, oh no) and Dutch who has not yet seen anything of me, gets introduced to more than he was expecting. This is not what I'd planned especially under bright lights. I'm also wearing a flesh coloured bra (cringe) so I keep my tshirt on. I'm on a mission, so I don't have any knickers with me that provide the comprehensive cover required for this. Unfortunately, the tshirt and tiny knickers combo gave an unnervingly undressed look. Mr Physio started with "bend over and try to touch your toesh". Dutch is sitting down and gets an eyeful of my ample, barely covered arse. Worse, I am wearing thin dark cotton fabric and due to lots of snogging in the car park I realise I'm somewhat moist of gusset exposed. Dutch and random physio man, just look what my clever fanjo can do! The afternoon was rounded off nicely by a discussion on painkilling suppositories in front of the locals in the pharmacy Blush.

Snape that's so lovely, blissfully happy is as good as it gets Grin

Scrazy · 11/05/2013 15:41

Kin, yes it can feel like crap if I over think things and when it does I have been known to dump, but I'm more chilled this time round so am not going to as the good times, which is every time we have a date, are very much like Snape and nameless. I just cannot share it on here for fear of giving away TMI (sissy emotion).

Enjoy your cocktails, I'm going out later to a cocktail bar.

TigsytheTiger · 11/05/2013 15:58

Juliette that has have a LOL!!! probably not funny at the time but it has made me laugh out loud! oh my goodness, well it obviously didn't put him off Grin

TigsytheTiger · 11/05/2013 16:01

oh and go snape! so happy for you

Bant · 11/05/2013 16:10

Wine, I think if you download the match.com app for your phone it will show you who winked.

Alternatively, on a computer if you hover over the faceless image saying 'someone, 32, just winked at you' then I think the URL for their account is visible in the status bar at the bottom left of your browser. That includes an 8 digit ID number for them. In another window, click on the profile if someone who hasn't winked and the URL will include their ID number. Type in the one from the winker and voila, you can see who it was.

JulietteMontague · 11/05/2013 16:13

Tigsy I don't drink much, but I did that evening Grin

Bant is that for all browsers? I've tried and can't get in on the pc

Bant · 11/05/2013 17:46

It worked for me with firefox. I think

KirstyWirsty · 11/05/2013 18:46

15 minutes till therockclimber arrives ... Eeeeek! My butterflies have butterflies

Hissy · 11/05/2013 19:34

Texts, and a long call. Date planned for the end of the week....

sounds nice.

OhWesternWind · 11/05/2013 19:53

Juliette your Dutch physio session is the funniest thing I've read in ages. Really hope you're feeling better soon.

Tigsy are they in full squealing mode yet?

Snape everything is going so well for you. Absolutely made up for you.

Kirsty loo update? Please?? And Scrazy too? Looking forward to Nora's return all cocktailed up.

Feeling much calmer and steadier today. This is going to be the end of this streak of bad luck and things are going to get better. I'm not letting that bastard Titto win by upsetting me.

TigsytheTiger · 11/05/2013 20:21

Full squealing mode! Fine line between getting completely pissed to block it out and being a responsible adult! Responsibility isn't winning at the moment!
