Just thought I'd start a new thread, general chit chat, moaning, skipping etc before I go to work and incase the other one fills up.

LNM - you are with friends right? not alone, because if you are alone I say PUT THE BOTTLE DOWN NOW!

If you are with someone then enjoy yourself.

LNM enjoy yourself! Lowercase & Cabbage - really profound words, made me cry in fact. Thank you for posting such lovely thoughts.

Lovely words Cabbage and lowercase. Really lovely Smile

Good to hear of you sitting in the sun with a drink LNM - you deserve that! I've sat out so long I'm now freezing cold and wrapped up with my fluffy socks on!! Have enjoyed a lovely BBQ only slightly ruined by obnoxious DSS - just waiting for room in my tum for the toblerone cheesecake I made Grin

LNM enjoy your evening with your friend. The alcohol must be getting to you if you luffs us all already! Grin xx

Toblerone cheese cake oh dear god
Can we STOP with the drooly foods please. Grin

How's the head this morning LNM? Your mouth as dry as a camels armpit?!
hehe. Make sure you eat and drink well today.

Did you manage to tell your friend how you feel? Did you tell her what's happened? I've become the type of friend in RL that does the listening - I have few RL friends (even less, since the boom of Facebook, since I don't have an account and can't keep up with everyone Sad) so when I see friends, I somehow avoid opening up and instead provide the happy, sometimes funny banter to make people laugh to fend them off asking questions about me.

I hope you've not dodged any questions about your situation LNM? You must let you RL friends 'in' to support you.

Anyway, I have a sore throat and a head cold, which in itself is no big deal, BUT I'm in a state of mild panic if I'm honest. I'm really, really fearful of becoming worse and if this little cold creeps down to my chest, I think I'll panic. I truly don't think I could cope with another hospital stint. Gawd.

Ah, ignore me. It's just a momentary whinge, brought on by the food drool no doubt.

Oh, and Lowercase, I can't believe I didn't say sooner: The words you typed from Mother Teresa's children's home (wow - you've been there?)
are awe inspiring. Thanks for sharing.

ooh there's your five year plan then - to be living by the sea. no reason you couldn't make that happen and the plus side of no family is you're not tied to an area.

hope you had a good evening.

i'm taking ds to egypt in july before school holidays start. flights cost a fortune but i'm renting an air con, two bed, wireless, sat tv etc etc apartment for £200 and food etc is dirt cheap. so all in all will still be cheaper than trying to go to centre parcs for a fortnight i reckon. tbf i used to live there so it's not scary unknown and i still have friends there so adult company will exist iyswim.

a couple of years back we did a cheap weak in majorca at an all inclusive, swimming pool centred place and ds absolutely loved it. last year we just had a long weekend in the peak district at a dog friendly b&b close to a friend's house so we weren't a burden on them but could hang out and go there for dinner. the visiting somewhere near a friend you'd like to catch up with works well as you get some nice company and recharge too iyswim.

anyho - happy sunday.

i went there for the day once i think with a boyfriend and his father when he was visiting. if i recall correctly it's a totally self contained development. the people who work there are bused in and searched on the way in and the way out and i can remember feeling uncomfortable about how 'enclaved' it was.

it was very pretty and relaxed - not my sort of place at the time (20's, traveller, nose turning at 'resorts' stage) but it was immaculately clean and relaxed feeling and we had a nice day there.

don't bother with hurghada (closest 'real' town) - boyfriend used to live there (i was over in dahab on the sinai peninsula) and i didn't like it personally. if you want to go out and about and see real egyptian life more i'd probably say go for a hotel resort in sharm that will give you best of both worlds (as in self contained, safe, luxury etc but easy to take a trip out to the bazaars or into bedouin areas). but i would think el gouna would be ideal if you want total chill out resort all the way stuff.

Holy hell! I have the hangover from hell, I can't function. I've drank gallons of water and I'm still thirsty. Can't remember going to bed. I do know we ended up in the pub, seemed like a good idea at the time. Bumped into ex colleague who has just left my house

ex male colleague? Grin

Sorry you're feeling rough, keep drinking the water and try to eat. Bread or greasy food will probably help and lots of rest x

lazarusb · 26/05/2013 12:11

Ha! I like your style LNM...are we allowed to ask if ex colleague is male or female? No need to answer if you don't want to!

Keep drinking the water, then try and eat a little at a time...nice and slow.

LittleEsme - I'm a listener but most of my friends will return the favour if I need them to. But there is one who is completely self-obsessed and never manages to take note about anything that isn't about her, including a friend who recently lost her Mum Sad You sound like a lovely person Smile

imtheonlyone · 26/05/2013 12:25

Haha! Well done LNM!! Do tell more about the ex colleague (if you want to that is!!!! Wink)

I would offer you some toblerone cheesecake as there is miraculously some left over and it's done wonders for my hang over this morning Wink!!!

I'm feeling a bit fed up today. DP is outside pottering with his canoes, my two DS's and two 'D'SS's are outside playing football and on bikes and stuff. There is an ironing pile as high as the ceiling and the house is a tip .... But why should I be stuck inside on such a gorgeous day when everyone else is enjoying themselves????!!!!

Moan over! Is it sunny where you all are today?

LoserNoMore · 26/05/2013 12:27

Male! Nothing happened, it could have but he said I was far too drunk, ha. There was some kissing though!

Hope you're not feeling too bad LittleEsme. I'm exactly the same as you too. Avoid talking about me to friends. I had a bit if a moan about ex last night to my friend but that's about it.

Have a safe journey Jax.

Toblerone cheesecake! I'd kill for some of that right now, imtheonlyone. Just get outside in the sun, leave the ironing for now. It's not as nice here today, I got a bit of colour yesterday. That's summer over, we've had our day.

I'm taking dd's swimming soon, I think I may drown.

Any chance of a recipe for the cheesecake imtheonlyone? Dh loves toblerone & I upset him last night so I need to make it up to him Blush

Well done LNM, nothing like a good snog Wink Glad he realised and respected you enough not to take advantage because you were drunk. Is this the same one who sent you that e-mail a few weeks back?

Hmm, a pool crowded with excited children & hangover from hell do not make a good combination LNM. Try not to throw up in the water won't you, it's no fun for the lifeguard when they have to fish it all out with a net. Yuck!

ooh he's more of a gentleman in the flesh than his fb message led us to believe then. a good kissing session is good for the soul.

Ok...well I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt then. A good kisser is always something to be valued Grin Saf is right, maybe his earlier message was just a temporary blip!

Enjoy swimming - you're an example to us all, no way would I be in a pool with a hangover. (Then again, I probably would have ended up shagging ex colleague last night too!) Blush
